Something new :)

The other day, I started to make something very new & quite out of my comfort zone when it comes to sewing...
 
But I am VERY determined to complete it with major success!
 
I shall not say (just yet) what it is, but in a little while all will be revealed!
(some of you may have an idea at what it is going to be)
 
I can however, show you a sneak peek photo (shown below) ...

This photo shows how it is so far...
all square have been cut out and placed in the appropriate ordering
 
I am quite excited with this project and am hoping to have it fully completed in a few days time!
As it's an item I have 'never' made before, I am already thinking that there maybe some moments of frustration, upset, lots of unpicking, etc. Fingers crossed though that I pull this off without any mistakes!
 
If all goes well; I am going to offer them for sale "custom made or ready made" in my shop!
so, keep an eye out for them appearing there!
Or... of course, you can order them via email in colours of your choice!
 
You might spot them on my "GoodiesGaloreByKel" facebook page also.

Pencil scrolls

A great new item that's recently been added to my production line is ...
Pencil/iPod/notepad scrolls!
 
They can be made custom to suit your colour preference and also to suit what you'd like to have inside them!



Pencil scroll opened out flat to show contents
Pencil scroll rolled up to show how it looks closed
 
With velcro closure, they can either be rolled up or folded up however you'd like!



These are now available for purchase in my shop; and all you have to do when going through checkout is leave me a message letting me know of the colours you'd like it made from! (& whether you'd like a name sewn on the front)
or, if you like.. you can send me a separate email with the information about the colours, name etc.

End of an era...

I just 'officially' closed my old facebook page down (SockMonkeysByKel) ...
was more difficult than I thought it was going to be actually, but it's now been unpublished and deleted!
WOW!

So...
here goes a brand new era starting *OFFICIALLY* with GoodiesGaloreByKel!

Looking very forward to what the future is going to bring; along with lots of new products I'm planning to make and/or have available for custom made on my production line :)

 

I'm due to VERY SOON receive my new business cards also; and I'm looking very forward to that happening; it will make it all feel alot more real when they do arrive!!
Here's a photo showing the front & back view of my new business cards (below)

My Gorgeous Dog Sasha

I just had to share this funny short video of my puppy Sasha!

She loves her ball with a bell in it; and isn't very fond of water, however... she's starting to gradually get a love of water!

I mean; what Labrador doesn't like water? (apart from my dog) lol

Anyhow, she surprised us big time when her ball was put in full bucket of water and she wanted it 'big time'.

Check out the video below!

Bib Ties!

They're bibs + they're ties!

Great little accessory for any special little man in your life for formal occasions or just going out on the town with mum & dad to do the shopping!
 
A truly great accessory to have for your little munchkin; rather than a daggy looking bib!
 
Available in any colours on request or pre-made in other random colours that I decide to make them from.

 
These bib ties are now available for purchase in my hand-made shop!
There are currently 3 listings in my shop:
Black bib ties, Blue bib ties & Request your colour here
< click the links above to see listings in my shop >
 
 



I came up with the idea the other day; and feel it will definately be a big hit for the little men! I can also put names on bib ties on request!

New products coming VERY soon!

{copied from website blog}

I've decided that it's soon time to add some "more" items to my already very huge list of items I create!!!
Here's a few of the items that you'll see soon... & of course, although I will have 'ready-made' items; all are able to be custom made in colours of your choice.

* fitted sheet sets ~ for cots
* headbands - more colours available
* ready-made buntings
* ready-made art smocks
* ready-made aprons (adults & kids)

The options are already there for the ready-made items, you simply have to email or leave me a comment when making a purchase letting me know of preferred colours, whether you'd like a name put on etc.

I'm extremely excited to have created this 'new' name; and style of how things look now! Can't wait to get started with all my new and exciting ideas!!!
Gotta remind myself "One step at a time".


If you'd like to request an item, please don't hesitate to email me with your request, or fill in the custom orders - form on my website.

Products I make ~ all custom made

Everything I make is 'custom' to suit your favourite colours, your name, size, etc.



I make buntings for weddings,
functions, corporate events & more...
 
In any colour(s) you'd like!
 
Pricing can be found in my hand-made shop


 I also make buntings especially for the kids
~ just name = $20 including post
~ name + birth date = $30 including post
 


 


 I really enjoy making buntings, they take a very long time to make; as I hand cut each letter of name out after free-hand drawing it onto fabric, cut out triangles, stick letters to triangles, then sew together!
 
Email me or Visit my shop to place an order!
 
I also make:
Headbands

 Personalised Towels

 Library Bags


 Taggies

 
Butterflies

 
& lots lots more!
 
to place an order!
 
 
 



Awesome feeling...

I just LOVE it when I receive great feedback
about some of the products I have made :)
 
Just the other day, I received some 'awesome' feedback
about the first ever art smock I made.

 

It truly made my day!
Here's the feedback I received for this art smock in the photos:
Hi Kel! Just wanted to let u know that today Natalie's teacher saw the artsmock you made Natalie and inspected it as it looked different to all the others and said "oh wow it has water proofing! You don't see that often anymore!" She kept inspecting it and said "this art smock is great!" I told her a friend of mine made it and it was her first one she made, and she said it was fantastic! Well Done Kel! If a prep teacher can spot the quality of it (and she's probably seen hundreds in her career!) you should be very proud! Jaz xo
 
This truly made me feel so great, so... I made 'another' art smock, and it's listed in my hand-made shop ready to go to a new home!
 
I also make custom made art smocks; I have a listing in my shop for Expressions of Interest where you can comment in the 'comment' section of listing letting me know what colours you'd like to see art smocks made with!
** They are made to fit kids 4-7 **
