Moving into February-already


January was rather busy, to put it mildly. For the last week I had a very active 6 year old grandson ( the same one pictured in the original ceejays on my homepage )visiting, so spent time at the local pool, the museum and of course the toy shops . He is in Grade 1 this year, having completed Prep in 2008.
I was so busy I forgot to get photos. The blog photo is my 2 year old grandson making himself an omelette.
During February I will not be making many nappies as I have a lot of Intro to Cloth packs to do, as well as knitting orders.
I will be accepting orders for knits at any time but nappies/KKs will probably not be available till the hunt in March.
I need to catch up on paperwork too and am making some changes to the website, all of which takes time.
Don't forget to register for the hunt when registrations open.
I will post here later regarding what I will be doing for the hunt.

Gossamer Dreams stocking for January


It's that time of the month! Tomorrow Gossamer Dreams opens for January with the theme "My Australia".
I love everything about Australia so had lots of options here. However I have chosen a theme within a theme and decided to base my listings on endangered/threatened/at risk animals and places.
I had a lot of things in the planning but due to a heavy workload I was not able to do as many as I would have liked. However I will have a few items going up tomorrow.
Because I have gone with the "at risk" theme I had planned to have some items for sale from which all proceeds would go to one of my favourite conservation charities, but time slipped away; so instead I will be giving a little stuffed bear, as seen here in the pic free with each of my listed items and I will donate the value to the charities.These are ideal for Valentine's Day as they are embroidered on the arms with "love you beary much" and the arms tuck together to hold a little rose or lollipop or small gift.(Random colour ).
I will be away for the next few days so all items will be posted on my return.(I will also put this info in each listing).I will not be online at all between Thursday and Monday and then from Monday to the following weekend I am delighted to be having my 6 year old grandson to stay for the last week of the holidays, so my online time will be limited for that week.Please forgive me for being slower at replying to emails at that time.
