Special Box

Well, finally all the boxes are finished. Heres a picci of the very last box I did as a special order for a 5 year boy who loves indigenous art, I think it turned out well.....I really enjoyed doing this one too!

New favourite things..............

Halloween & only 6 boxes to go!.........................YAY

Batch 10

Harry & the Pirate

Austin Powers & Friend

Hhmmmm

Well, Ok I admit it, yet again I have been very slack on the blogging front. In saying that all I have to talk about/show is more of the same. The good news is I'm on the homestretch & only have 28 boxes to go YAY! Hopefully a bit of normality will return then without me spending any spare second thinking "I should be painting". I love it, don't get me wrong but time constraints can be v. stressful! Anyway here is batch number...7.... I think....xo

Batch 7

1 month later

So 1 month later & another 2 batches completed, I've managed to work out I can do 10 boxes in 13 hours....easier said than done when working from home! Experimented with new paint that I thought would save me time, but ended up taking longer.....don't you hate that! But moved on......almost half way, will have painted 52 boxes after this next lot. I'm going to treat us all to a weekend away when I'm done as weekends at the moment are pretty non-existent......more soon, K xo

Batch 3

Batch 4

Batch no 2 done & dusted!

Just finished batch no 2, for the smaller kiddies so all in the original Littlies designs. I'm into the swing of things now & all the painters injuries seem to have eased off! The lovely people up in QLD have offered me an ongoing contract to produce boxes for all there kids, so I'm very excited to be working with them! More soon, K xo

1st batch COMPLETE!

Hi Everyone, well I've been painting non-stop for about 10 days & as of Tues this week the 1st 12 boxes are done & delivered, all in the new designs which I think turned out great! Only 70 odd to go now!!!!.................just need to work on painters neck & back injuries now...OWWWW!
 

New addition

Jut found out we are getting a new addition to our family! A beautiful greyhound called Zorro, he arrives on Tuesay & is from GAP (greyhound adoption program). Although I have never had a greyhound before they are beautiful family dogs & suprisingly lazy! Its amazing how many you notice around once you start looking! I stop & ask people about them now & every single person I have spoken to have said its the best thing they ever did & they would never own another breed of dog again! Follow the link to check out the GAP website, they were also on 7pm project last week. Such a great cause! More photos to come after Tuesday.......

Wow, it really is so cold.......I can't believe winter is here with a vengeance & it ain't even winter! Here are a couple of cute play suits to keep your Littlies snug! Not on the website but drop me an email if you would like to see more designs, colours etc! enquiries@littlieshomewares.com.au. Remember to rug up.....right I'm off for a walk around the Tan, 4 layers, beanie, ipod.............hmmm maybe gloves too...................

Ahhhhh....thats better. So clean!

OK, I know its not a big deal but I feel organised now! Easter break was great, more orders came in......yay & stress! Am feeling obliged to watch the Royal Wedding tonight, perhaps just the ceremony not the 4 hours of pre-ceremony coverage....what could they possibly talk about???? Have a great weekend all. K

Happy Easter



5 days holiday...YAY....well not for me, painting as usual, lucky I love it! Mixed in with festivities of course, the boys are very excited & are expecting great things from the Easter Bunny, Ninjagos, Bakugans......what happened to good old chocolate eggs? And the weather is looking great for the weekend, hmmmm....maybe a can get some tan back? Happy Easter everyone, next post will be the after shot of my soon to be very tidy/decluttered/organised workspace!

Sorry, couldn't resist!

Calm before the storm

Well I'm waiting for 80 odd treasure boxes to be made & am having a major calm before the storm couple of days.....why do I feel like I've forgotten something? I'm sure there are more things I could do to before for the painting onslaught..............below is before shot of my workspace, I'm going to have to de-clutter to get a production line happening!!!! WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great News!

  Well, the fantastic news is I have just won a great job for a wonderful company up in QLD, alot of treasure boxes!!! So I am very excited, they involve some new & groovy designs, so keep your eyes out for them soon!

Friday again!

Happy Friday to one & all! Hope you all have a lovely weekend, I for one am really looking forward to an alcholic beverage tonight. Been a busy week generating more business, but I have also been mother of the year this week, been to swimming lesson 3 times, class room helper & all round picker upper & dropper offer. Not a bad social life for 3 & 6 year old!

New product: I have these cute mini-canvases, which I generally give away but they have proven to be very popular...so I might just start charging! Will be doing a free give away for all Littlies members soon....so watch this space......



Jungle Animals mini canvas



FASTEST BLOG EVER!!!

It's been a great week, had a few good orders & actually been able to get them painted without little people at me.... "Mum can I have a bikki"? Bless Kinda & school. I miss them, but I think I might actually be starting to feel like an adult again.......shock horror. Anyway, have a great weekend one & all, however I fear summer is long gone....aaahh the memories!


Shelly Beach - Port Macquarie



Love, Love, Love....

Baby Rhyme Time at the local libraries in Maribynong, what a great idea & how gorgeous are the bright colours for the marketing brochures?! This is the sort of stuff I love & that inspired all my Littlies characters to be in bright bold colours! Theres so much pastel around for babies & children I thought it was time to brighten things up a bit! Kate xo
