Busy busy!

Hi guys It's Alicia..

Its been a busy busy day today in Blue Sky Baby land :)

We have put the 'Huggable Hoots' up for sale on our facebook page. They start from $10 for the smaller one 11.5cms in height and up to $15 for a 20cm one.

                       This hoot is 16cms and $13 and has a soft polar fleece backing

I know we have already told you this but they are just so soft and cuddly!  We can even personalise it for you by hand stitching your child's name on the front for no extra charge. Miss Jaime has been sleeping with hers every night and takes it in the car with us everywhere we go, Its the perfect size for travelling and cuddling in the car.

We have plans to make the smaller ones into something special so keep checking back to our page to have a look at what we come up with :)

We have also added some new head wraps that clever Dani has been working on lately. She has picked up the crocheting so unbelievably quickly I know her Oma Lucy is very proud! Hi Oma!!

                               These head wraps are to fit 2 yrs - Pre teen and are $12 each

We had lots of requests for adults sizes as soon as we posted this pic and we definitely can make them to fit us mums too so if you would like to order one please send us an email at blueskybaby@live.com.au
and let us know what colour you would like and if you can, send us a head circumference measurement so we can make it to fit perfectly!   I have one in a soft green and wear it every time I have to do a supermarket run in the late afternoons when it starts getting really chilly. It keeps my head so toasty and warm! (I'm actually wearing it right now lol)


Ok I have a question for everyone who is reading this..

Where do you stand on the 'lol' - laugh out loud thing??  Dani and I write it to each other all the time in our text msgs and emails but I have another friend who hates it and refers to it as 'leg of lamb'. Every time I go to type 'lol' on the blog I am hesitant and wonder what you all think of it so I am putting it out there!!  If you want us to stop let us know in the comments and if you love it and use it yourself please also let us know what you think.
haha I think this will be interesting..

Anyway back to business, I have a sneak peak of some boy snuggly pillows we will be posting soon -

These will all have hand stitching detail like the hoots and custom name personalisation!
They have a navy blue sooo soft fleecy backing that is very nice to snuggle! I love that my little man will have something of his own like his sister has, he has already chosen a rocket one and keeps trying to take it from the table at any chance he gets. I haven't finished it sorry boy! And I know Dani has her eye on one for her Hunter. I will hopefully have these done over the weekend so keep checking our page!

Speaking of my little man, he has just fallen asleep on the floor right in front of me

Uggh too late for an afternoon nap mate and too early for you to be in bed without your tea. Looks like he will be wide awake until after 11 tonight!! what fun :)

Hope you all are having a relaxing night tonight like us. Spaghetti for tea my favourite! Yum.

Peace OUT!!

Sneak Peak

Welcome to our new look blog! Isn't is pretty??


Blue Sky Baby has some new things coming soon, we have been working on a few new ideas in the last couple of weeks and are getting very close to having them finished.

So thought I would share with you guys a little sneak peak of what Alicia has been up to over the long weekend.
  
                                                  



I cant believe how clever she is!!
These owls are sooo cute.
She's made a personalised one for Miss J, and I'm going to keep on her case to make one for Miss H, its adorable :)
They have the softest backing, so fluffy and cuddly, so we're calling these little beauties
"Huggable Hoots" Love the name? We do!


We know there is always a shortage on handmade things for boys so we are doing our best to come up with ideas for your little man, We are working on some cute cuddly pillows that he can take everywhere he goes so keep a look out for them coming soon :) 



Well we have some exciting news to announce.... we have booked our first MARKET STALL!!

We would love you all to come down and visit our very first market stall, we are so so excited for it and will be busy little bees getting ready for it. Got plans for a few new things and will have lots of market specials on the day!

Present Ideas

Hi guys its Danica!

Wow its been a cold few days this week!! I hope it gets warmer soon, I dread getting out of bed these days!
It has been a busy few weeks for us over at Blue Sky Baby.
We've had Alicia's 27th birthday, her hubby's birthday, and my sister and step dads birthdays too.
With all these birthdays and more to come (my own hubby's in a few weeks) I tried to think of a way to cut down on present costs. Handmade stuff maybe???
I will show you what I made for my sisters birthday, because all I got Alicia and her husband were a card and scratchies, and I'm sure you don't need to see a pic of that :)
I had to make something nice and thoughtful for my sister as it was her 21st birthday, So I decided to make her a hand stamped necklace!!

This necklace is 2 x 5/7" sterling silver pendants with a swarovski crystal (her birthstone colour) and a fresh water pearl on a sterling silver ball chain.
On one disc I stamped her initials.

The other disc I stamped her birth date and a little heart.

I also made this one.
It is a 7/8" sterling silver washer hand stamped with

" a sister is a friend forever"

It has 2 freshwater pearls on a ball chain necklace.

I love how they turned out. My sister loved them too, which is always a bonus ;)

I love doing handmade gifts, whether its a hand stamped necklace, or a card, a photo collage of your kids. Whoever you give it to, will surely love it

Enough sappiness from me

Peace out!!

Best Aunties Ever!!

So I'm getting older.. i just had a happy birthday and turned 27!! I don't feel 27 at all.. It doesn't help i look about 17, I still get people calling my house phone and when I answer they ask if my mum or dad is home. Ive even had a man knock on my door and ask if my dad was home! And I was 7 months pregnant!!!

Any way, I had an awesome day, my girls and their kiddies all came over for morning tea. My Nan and Pa brought my favourite spaghetti for lunch, and my hubby cooked us a 3 course meal for tea. That is actually amazing in itself as he has probably only cooked tea 3 times in the nearly 5 years we have been together.
He made salsa.... from SCRATCH!!  It was beautiful!! Ive already ordered him to make that again. Chicken wings with a special saucy coating. YUM. And also stuffed green peppers. AMAZING! It was all so yummy and the best present! He knows I love Mexican :)

I also received a couple of packages from Mr Postman and they were from my darling aunties! They are the sweetest and always give me the best presents, They know exactly what I like. Michelle gave me a spotlight voucher!! WooHoo! I'm there every week so its perfect!  And Jen sent me two beautiful crochet books! I cannot wait to own a home one day and one of my dreams is to have a library room full of books with a big armchair in the middle. So I'm so excited I have 2 more books to add to my collection :)

Thank you so much Michelle and Jen! Thank you for knowing me so well xxxx

Best Sunday Ever!!

I love those kind of sundays that you have no plans to leave the house, its raining outside, its warm inside, the kids are playing nicely together and keeping themselves amused, tea is already in the slow cooker and you can smell it cooking all day... 

I just had one of those sundays!

I had the sewing machine going, the glue gun on, I ironed owl prints, I cut out felt, played with elastic, I have had so many new ideas floating around in my head and sunday was the day for me to try them out. It was such a relaxing creative day and with 4 cups of coffee under my belt it was very productive! :)

Sorry I dont have any sneak peak photos to show you but we will be adding new items up for sale as soon as they are completely finished!

Hope everyone else had a great weekend!

P.s I will have a post soon about what my favorite aunties bought me for my birthday :)
