Parties all year round for our blessed and wise owls!

Hi lovers of handmade, and hopefully lovers of MMM!

Our little wise owls of three (the mobile) have branched out...get it?!
They are now a band of 6 or more, who are ready to go home with your little one's party guests as the favour.
Or to perch at each table setting.
I know, genius!

Enjoy your own colour scheme to suit your party, boy or girl and at $5 each they are a winner indeed.

Just look, how can you resist?

Please note with kindness that i cannot use exact fabrics and buttons for every set ordered so each pack will vary from image above!



SHOUT OUT!
Hey all you Central Coast Mums, don't forget the Galoomp markets at Woy Woy Peninsular, McMasters Rd on this Sunday 29th 10-2pm...wish we were there, but the baby is due the next day and Mr MMM would kill me!

Warm wishes,

Newest addition to the Range

Hi Readers,

Both you and I, it seems, are loving these rufflle edged cushions, so here is the latest offering. She debuted yesterday at a little event and all ten flew off the table, so here are the next ten.
They are available in sets of two or as single cushions measuring 14" 14", perfect size for anywhere in the home.

Love, love the simplicity...

Have a great day

By popular demand...Softie Bunny and Koala Comeback

My oh my, you are all crazy for cuddlies for the kids aren't you? Not a week goes by without requests for my Molly Doll and the Bunny and Koala Softies which debuted at pre-Easter.
So you will be pleased to hear there is now a basket of dotty legs, arms and stripey legs and arms all stuffed and felt noses and cheeks ready for assembly. This time they will not be moleskin but an even cuddlier short length polar fleece (same as used in the MMM cot blankets and tag and touch squares for sale online).

You will be delighted, and so am i that i have been able to fit them in before the arrival of baby 3!

Don't forget we do love a challenge and a fresh idea so those of you wanting a custom item need only ask!
Sometimes, after 600 or so Owl mobiles a change is as good as a rest...

Coming soon to Milly Molly Mandy

Our fun at the HCM...and pictures to prove it!

Here are some photos to share the stall at the Handmade Craft Market with you, if you couldn't make it. I especially loved the part where my husband carried it all in and returned at close of day and carried it all away! Well, not all of it, it's a liberating feeling when your heavily packed crates of stock are lighter and roomier!

Enjoy,

Fresh look

There's nothing like a fresh look to liven the soul. I so enjoyed the market on Sunday with Rachelle (the clever creator) at Handmade Craft Markets, that i felt inspired to make a few subtle changes to all aspects of my life.
I love talking to new girls who are also creating and making their stamp on the handmade world, and how worthless would each day be if you didn't reflect and make some changes.
So...unless i see you daily and we are chums you wouldn't know the little changes i am making in 'me' and my machinations but you will see some on the blogspot and the madeit store!
I hope you love them, and watch out for lots of new and lovely things by Milly Molly Mandy,

Market day tomorrow!

How excited are we? Not least because we are having baby three in a matter of oh, 15 days...but because we will be holding a stall ( our last for a couple of months) at the Handmade Craft Market, Erina High School, whoop whoop. TOMORROW 10AM-2PM!
That's me being super excited.

I must remember to keep my excitement prioritised, Mr Milly Molly Mandy thinks i have planned more for my business lately than baby boy and is rather worried about bonding after the 'event'. Having done this twice before i am merely indulging while i can in all that is decorative, aesthetic and creative, and of course this bundle of feeding, sleeping, burping, changing, cryingness will be JOY!
Ha ha.
All is well.
No really.
Really.

Come see us, love to meet you,

WHAT A WEEK!

My goodness, this is gonna be my best week yet i am sure, since last week was a mess.

Day 1; baby boy Breech and undersize...must turn baby only has three weeks left and this is spoiling all my perfect planning for my natural labour at my chosen Hospital for baby 3.
Day 2; Amalia, our bundle of 18 month oldness (that label should tell you all you need to know) climbed out of her highchair (which Mom didn't strap her into), and came a cropper. Next four hours spent at Emergency.
Day 3; Levi, our bundle of almost 4 years oldness (again that is all you require for background!) came a cropper and instead of the brand new high tech Bone Anchored Hearing Aid Implant flicking off -as it should- it stayed glued to the abuttment and hurt the little trooper's ear badly, and causing he death of the device.
To top it off, the valuation paperwork has not been forwarded to Insurance Co, so it stands uninsured....all $6000 of it.
And now the little soul is at pre-school and trying to do 'life' with no hearing again. He makes me well up thinking about his determination and all his daily little battles to do what we take for granted. So proud.

So, what lovely things can i look forward to this eek as compensation.
Firstly, HARNESSING has become law in this household.
Secondly, everyone is to walk at all times, reducing possibility of falling and tripping and broken bits!

I do however, have a little ray of light...well two:
1. Milly Molly Mandy will have a stall  NUMBER 34! At the Handmade Craft Market, Erina High School, Sunday 15th, 10am-2pm!!!!
I love this market, its full of inspiration, hard working Mother's, its on the Central Coast AND it now includes me!
2. My latest offering, the Lavender and Wheat Heat Packs are available online and so perfect for taking on short trips and relaxing at home, i love them.

Come see us on Sunday!
