What to do on a rainy day!

Well the weather has certainly taken a turn for the worse. Luckily the heavy downpoor arrived after I did the school run this morning.

Its days like this where I like to get lots of crochet done. I curl up on the sofa with a blanket, the TV remote and my wool and get stuck in. I never feel like doing much else on days like this.

On the other hand there is so much other stuff that needs to be done- especially on a Monday. There's the clearing up after the weekend carnage to be done. Monday is also my study day and starting today I also have an extra child to look after in the afternoons for 2 days a week. A nice extra bit of spending money which will be nice and some company for my youngest daughter while her big sister is at school.

What do you like to be doing on cold and wet days? How long will you put off the jobs that have to be done to do the things you want to do.

I hope you are all keeping warm wherever you are.

Bunnies everywhere!

I have just listed yet another bunny on Little Kiwis Nest today. They have been multiplying quite rapidly in the last couple of weeks. They are my favourite thing to make, it is a very simple pattern and so versatile it is easy to make every one different. Each bunny gets his/her own name once they are completed. Sometimes a name comes quite quickly to me and other times I have to wait a while for some inspiration. Imagine having to choose a name for your baby every week.

Did you know I can custom make bunnies?

Any colour you like- single colour, mixture of colours, scarf or ribbon, blue or brown eyes.

You name it I can probably do it for you- all you need to do is drop me an email at beth@crochetbybeth.co.nz. I also do FREE SHIPPING within New Zealand.

I had a custom order go it's new home this week. She is very happy in her new home with her new best friend.

Baby Vintage in Plimmerton also stocks some bunnies- they sold one last week which is heading for a new home in the US! If you are local pop in and see some of the bunny family in person!

Completing the look!

Well finally today my Vista Print order arrived. I now have some lovely business cards and labels to complete the look of my business. It's just those extra little things that make everything come together.

At the same time I also ordered myself a t-shirt with my logo plastered on the front- not sure when I will come to wear it but you never know when it may be useful. I also ordered a large tote bag- again with my logo on it which I can use for my WIP. Need to get my brand out there however I can.

I ordered myself some organza bags for putting my crochet toys in. They just don't look so great when you try to wrap them in tissue paper like I do with the clothes so I decided these would be a good idea. Now they have also arrived and I have put the bunnies/teddies/rattles in them they look super cute and make them even more special- like getting a present in the post when you open it.

This week I have also completed a couple of custom orders- a hat and scarf set for a friend and also a cardigan which is now on it's way to the UK. Hopefully there will be two very happy little people out there. I am also building up my bunny collection so that Baby Vintage can take some to the Parent and Child show in Wellington next month. I'm sure they will be plenty of people there happy to re-home a bunny!
