December stocking and What not to do while sewing...

Firstly, a note that the By suse Hocking December stocking is on Tomorrow evening (the 2nd of Dec.) at 8pm Brisbane time...and you can see the fun items that will be for sale here...here is just one sample of what will be available...

Lots of fun clothing for boys and girls, hope to see you there. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this little story that happened to me yesterday :)

Women are renowned for their multitasking skills...we can juggle the kids, and (for for some of us) work, as well as little WAH businesses as well...We can juggle a coffee, sewing and entertaining the kids all at once...we are good at what we do, are we not? Well, last night I discovered that my multi tasking skills are not as good as I thought they were...not as good as I am always telling hubby they are...not as good as I really wish they were! Let me explain...

I was trying to sew some cute boys nappy covers and shorts...I had the whole production line thing happening and it was working a dream.My mistake - trying to do all this at bedtime. My hubby does the bedtime thing...he reads the story and says the prayers with our 2 gorgeous girls, then he hands them over to me for tucking in. I was halfway through overlocking a pair of nappy covers and I got the call he was done, so I went and tucked them in tight, gave them kisses and cuddles and turned off the lights...then hastily headed back to my "studio" to carry on with what I was doing.

While I sat there, hubby started talking...about what, I cannot honestly remember...I wanted to get so much done before heading to bed, that I was doing a man thing and not really listening...you know...nod your head..."yup, aha...yup...no really, I am listening...yup..." (ladies, you know what I'm talking about). I was distracted for only a second...but it was a second long enough to do this...

and before I knew it, it was too late! I had sewn the front onto the back upside down!!! I'm going to have to unpick it now (hate unpicking overlocker stitching)...and I had to admit I wasn't really listening and that my famous multitasking skills need some more practice...

Well, I am now off to unpick the stupid thing LOL.

Happy Stitching,

Suse from By Suse Hocking

Lil Pip release - 9pm, Wednesday 1 December

The next release for Lil Pip is 9pm (AEDT), Wednesday 1 December. This month we have 26 Boobook ribbon owls available, far more than we ever have before. Lots of new colours and designs available to choose from.

I also have introduced the new 'Sophia Skirt' available in size 1 - 3. Would love to know what you think? I've just finished the cutest shirt to match and will add images tomorrow (hopefully my little model will cooperate).

Still a few 'Millie Mae' dresses available and the boys Muckamo shorts. All perfect timing for Christmas!

The next release will be Tuesday 1 February 2011. Lil Pip is having a break!

Welcome

Hi everyone and welcome to this little collaboration of FANTASTIC WAHM businesses....

We all run our businesses either all out of Facebook, or have a business page there, and as there has been a lot of WAHM pages being closed down lately due to cracking down on the FB rules, we've decided to set up a group blog where we will be able to run any promotions on our own pages within this blog, but also support and promote each others businesses here too...

We hope you like visiting and hope to get some more info and pics up soon.
