For the shoeaholic April 30, 2008

There arent many ladies I know that can resist shoes, myself & my daughter included! She is only 11 but always heads straight to the shoe section when we are out shopping.

So why not a shoe covered bag to take when you are out shoe shopping or any other shopping as well?

This one is another for the Dilly Bag ladies, wonder who will get it? I know Natalie Barr likes shoes maybe it would be a good one for her?

If you want a bag like you fave celebrity has from me head on over to The Sewing Fairy & to the Bagalicious tab under the Mums Corner section

Bag o’ bags April 30, 2008

I am sooooo happy with the colour combo I chose for this one. Originally I was going to use black fabric where the green is but when I dug a little deeper in my cupboard  & found the green it was just perfect, dont you think??

When I find out which lucky celeb receives this bag I will update you all

Bloomin Roses April 30, 2008

I love the colours of the roses on this fabric. Wish I could have those coloured roses in a garden wouldnt they look fabulous?

I love this sytle of bag, & its so quick to make. I made 3 of them in one day.This also is for a celebrity only I dont know who yet. I posted 11 bags off to the Dilly Bag company & have to wait until they decide on who gets which bag. I wil let you all know as soon as I know

Need to make more after I go on another fabric shopping spree. I have been “shopping my stash” the last couple of weeks & really enjoying the challenge of finding matching fabrics.

Happy stitching

Drafting April 2, 2008

patterns is such tiring work, you have to figure out what it is you want to make & the sizes, then you have to draw & re draw until its perfect. Then you factor in the changes you thought up while drawing the pattern. not to mention you have to get another piece of paper as someone has a much better use for your original piece !!!

Australian Mums need your support March 20, 2008

I received this newsletter the other day & with the permission of Mad Cow I am blogging it to help get the word out there.

It’s Time for a National Response

We don’t normally do this, but this is an issue we felt we needed to really get behind, and its one of the things Real Mums is all about. That is, supporting Mums all over Australia.

PaNDa - the Post and Ante Natal Depression Association have launched a campaign “It’s time for a national response” requesting the Federal Government fun a National peer-to-peer helpline dedicated to providing support for all Australian Mums with antenatal and postnatal depression.

Currently, PaNDa’s model of a highly successful peer-to-peer helpline and suport sevice - where people who have experienced and worked their way back from AND and PND have been trained to assist other Mums - is only available in one Australian state.

Sadly, there are only three Australian states that operate dedicated antenatal and postnatal depression services for women and their families seeking counselling, support and referral.

PND affects 1 in 7 Australian Mums - so there are a lot of women, their families and their kids out there who need us.

We ask that you support PaNDa and Mums all over Australia by visiting the PaNDa websites - http://www.panda.org.au, or downloading this postcard, signing it and sending it off to the Health Minister the Hon. Nicola Roxon and lets get this much needed service available to everyone.

Thank you for your time, and thanking you in advance from Real Mums and on behalf of PaNDa for your amazing support!

Until next time, yours in Mumming,

Mad Cow
