sweetiPod

To any of you who may frequent my blog, I do apologize for my HUGE gap between posts. I've been so busy lately that I only seem to get time to do the essentials online now. In any case, I'm still alive, incase you're wondering. :)

I'm happy announce the opening of my second shop - sweetiPod Stationery. I'm slowly adding new items, so please stop by, and give something a try! You'll find some super cute Mini Envelopes, Handmade books, and other stuff to come! And all requests are welcome. :)

If two's company...

Recently I've been getting some custom requests for sets of 3 - friends, workmates, nieces, sisters, daughters, or maybe you need 3? Whatever the reason, if you're needing more than one girly gift this Christmas, then consider a set of cosmetic pouches - customised in colour, pattern, embroidery, and style.



At a discounted price when you buy a set, you're getting a great deal! And if you're wanting a different amount, just convo me! :) Stop by my Etsy shop and check it out!

Christmas is upon us...

I was told the other day that it's bad luck to set up your tree before Dec 1 ... that never seemed to stop all the shop owners however! It seems, come Oct, and everyone's in the Christmas rush!

Well, I've never been a Christmasy person, but entering a large family you tend to come to appreciate it a little more. A time for giving, loving, and being more concerned to find that special present for someone rather than what you'll get in return. But then, there's always a catch... the cost!

I decided to start my Christmas shopping now, rather than a week before Christmas like last year. And where better to start shopping than etsy? This is where I started...

ToonDesign is an amazing shop I found on my search for affordable clutches and wallets. I honestly don't feel it justified to spend $50+ on a clutch! I'm sorry, it's just not practical. But stop by ToonDesign's shop, and you'll be pleasantly surprised. I was able to snatch up some adorable mini-clutches for only $7 each! And $12 for the regular size. And if you're quick, you'll catch her Buy 3, get 1 free sale!! I didn't even realise until she told me I got a 4th for free - you should have seen my excitement! lol.

So excited!!!

Ever have those really horrible days where you just want everyone to leave you alone, and you feel miserable? Ok, well, today was NOT one of those days! :P

I received a lovely little package in the mail today ... I was THRILLED when I opened it!! My new charms from KookieDaDa, beautifully packaged - so professional and adorable, I hardly wanted to open it!

My two little gems were Marshmallow Elle and Koodles, the funny little red bear! I cannot even begin to describe the cuteness ... after much difficulty, I managed to get Elle on my phone. Love it!






Stop by KookieDaDa's shop, and find something adorable for yourself or a friend - you'll be well rewarded! :)

Pretty little bows ... aww

v Awww .... isn't it cute?? v




Originally I designed this for a custom order, but decided on another design - so I thought I'd share with ya'll. :) It's simple, eligant, light, and totally different to my normal designs.

Outer fabric is made of baby blue cotton drill, lined with pale yellow cheesecloth (very delicate little bag!!), and accented with a yellow tule bow. :)





If you're interested in this little gem, or something similar, please stop by my shop! :)

Like a kid in a candy store....

You've been a kid before - some of you may even have your own little munchkins! Either way, you know what it's like to let a kid loose in a candystore, or a toystore! They want EVERYTHING!

Well, that's how I feel when I look through Etsy sellers specializing in adorable clay charms. I'm _literally_ shopping for candy - albeit made from clay. :P




BabyBlueSkie has a little bit of everything - from jewelry to charms, to supplies! But the best part is only discovered when you talk to her... She's a lovely Etsian to deal with, and welcomes custom orders for a 10% discount! Check out these great charms that she made by custom order ... When I received them today, I couldn't keep their cuteness to myself!! :)

Why does it always rain on me?



"Ever feel like you're the only one getting rained on? Well, this little bird's got the rainy day blues as bad as it gets. Poor guy! Won't you choose him and make his day?"

This adorable original painting is available from Blue Pandemonium on Etsy. She has some beautiful paintings, bookmarks, and other paper goodies. Stop by and grab this adorable little painting. :)

Full of charm



Ok, I have addictions.. Etsy, primarily! But right now one of my addictions is looking through ADORABLE polymer clay charms. Awww.... Don't you just love them?

So here's one of my favourite clay artists. FullOfCharm is a "charming" little stop, with all sorts of goodies from tofu to fortune cookies! She does great customised items, so give her a convo and get something cute for your phone! ;)

Tag! You're it...



Maybe there's a little girl in me somewhere that really does love pink (much as I hate to admit it)... cause I think these tags are just adorable! They're so functional, but they can say what you want while still looking cool, and cute!

Check out my latest listing to see all about these groovy little tags. And heaps more to come! And if you've got a specific colour or pattern you need to match your items, just ask... I'm sure we'll find something. :)

Each set contains 18 tags (with the exception of one or two special ones - they were deprived of a few!). They're also packaged in this adorable handmade envelope...



So go stop by my Etsy shop, and grab some! :)

Bloomin' flowers!


Ok, so, there's something about spring! The warmer days, the sound of birds twittering away, the smell of those beautiful new blooming flowers - and wait.... a..a... ACHOO! Man, I just cannot stop sneezing this spring! I'm afraid my boss gets a good laugh out of it however, suddenly hearing me sneezing from the other side of the restaurant!

That aside, spring is beautiful, isn't it? In honour of that, here's my latest item. Born from a custom order from KookieDaDa, this cute little gem is just as protective as all my other cases - but so much cuter! Perfect for you girly-girls, or as a gift for someone.

Lots more spring items on the way, so keep an eye out! :)

Oh, and did I mention that shipping is so fast?! :)
