New to the range of boys shirts are these uber cool Puffer Fish Tshirts.
Vintage style fish image in slate grey ink on the sky blue tshirt looks really awesome, subtle but eyecatching….(ok so that is a complete oxymoron but I hope you get what I mean?).
In t-shirts size 12-18m, 18m, 2 and 4. There are also a very limited number of tank tops available too. Found in FOR BOYS.
How adorable is my little model Cooper!?

We would like to introduce you to a new funky item we are now stocking at Ollie Rose. Gorgeous baby wipes containers created by Kristy of Wipe Out. Kristy happens to be our parents next door neighbour, which makes it even lovelier to be able to stock her items.
Wipe Out baby wipes containers are functional yet much more stylish than a plain old wipes container. They make wonderful baby shower gifts for mums, and they are also very popular for the older generation who like to keep them in their glove box and always have wipes on hand. Sure to impress the other grey nomads at the caravan park when you whip out a very cool wipes container.
You can find all the wonderful fabric styles we have available in our online store: www.ollierose.com.au

This beautiful doona by Kas Australia. I have been eyeing it off for quite a while, and it would be perfect to add a touch of colour to our bedroom this summer, but sadly as our walls are a sort of coffee colour, it would mean painting and changing things around a bit too much and I just don’t have the inclination nor energy to achieve that. I still have not painted the doors I have had for the last 6 weeks that are now being installed today – nothing like leaving it to the last minute.
One day, one day. But in the meantime I think I will have to settle for a new look at fits in with coffee walls, involves minimal funds and minimal work.

And other things not on the list but I managed to get done….
More birthday badges
More birthday shirts
gifts for 3 friends babies
Slowly but surely getting there. And I am pretty used to dealing with the frustration of not getting all the things done that I had wanted to for the month…..so they will go in the In Progress baskets or just be put off for another day….or sometimes never!
And here is how I keep Esmae busy whilst I get a few jobs done.
She has been comando crawling for a week or so and is just starting to get up on her knees now.
And Sabre keeping herself busy by racing around the house on the scooter! It efinitely is not ideal to have her on the scooter inside but with the heat in the middle of the day and the current mosquito plague it is the only way she can use it.
Well ….things aren’t getting done blogging here………..so BACK TO IT!

Eeek, my baby boy is nearly 3 years old, where has the time gone?
I think the last 3 years have really flown by, probably because I haven’t sat still much in all that time, but really they have gone super fast – ridiculous really.
We have started to plan the 3rd birthday party with gusto, it will be a loader, digger, dump truck affair as Ari is absolutely and totally in love with the yellow and black trucks, and at the ripe old age of nearly 3 will quite happily correct me if I should call a machine by the wrong name, including Bobcat, which he insists is a Catbob, and not the other way around.

We received a lovely message from Christina of Billy Mac Clothing, to let us know that she had featured our fox shirt in her blog post on some MadeIt T-shirt favourites. So thank you so much Christina for including us.

I have had this sunny fabric calling me from my stack for ages. Been dying to cut into it! Finally I am pleased that I now turned it into some summery dresses and skirts! The Molly shirred dress and Summer shirred skirts were the perfect style for this liberty styled floral…I knew it the minute I saw the fabric online. Robert Kaufman plays omage to Liberty of London and when it got here it was even better in real life!
I am in love!
Someone has had enough of posing by this stage!

It has been some months since Kobie has been able to finally build up the stocks of clip holders again, but at last she has managed it and included Nona in the range for this year.
These have always been a popular gift item since they were first released a year and a half ago and are perfect for display all those clips that are just too pretty to hide away in containers
Hopefully soon we will be able to replenish stocks of all our cool Babushka themed items in time for the silly season.
