Handmade Children's Market!

2011-06-24T21:59:00.009+08:00

Last Saturday we had a stall at the very last "Handmade Children's Market". We had a great response and everyone loved the new dumy that I had on display.

The Floppy Ruffle Swimsuits were loved by everyone and the Rashy's had a good response too, as there is not too much for the little lad's at the markets!

One cute little girl came straight from her dancing class and modelled her "Green Mesh Skirt" and apparently she did a mini concert for her parents in it that night. Too cute! This is exactly why I make them! It looks great with a black leotard and black leggins, FUNKY!!!

Here are the details of our next market, Sunday 3rd July at Craigie Leisure Centre 10am-1pm. Come and say HI!

2011-06-17T14:29:00.013+08:00

I would like to introduce 2 little girls to the HeavenLee Creations market stalls.....

Here we have "Mele" she is a cabbage patch, wearing a tiny Floppy Ruffle swimsuit. Mele's cabbage patch name is Carmelita, but my daughter nicknamed her "Mele" and I'm hoping she won't miss her for a day...
Matching doll swimsuits are available via "orders only" for $20!

I'm not too sure of this little girls name yet... I have been wanting to get one of these for a while and when Shop 4 Shops had a sale, I couldn't resist!

Look out for them both tomorrow at Handmade Children's Market!
Saturday 18th June, Melvile Civic Centre, 10am-2pm. It's off Davy Street, Booragoon. Free Entry, Free Face Painting, Free Children's Activities!

Hope to see you there!
Cheers Lee-Anne

I received these gorgeous Beanie & Legwarmers in the mail today, I ordered them from Chantilly Rose and they are gorgeous! It's going to be perfect for winter! I just love them to bits!!! I wish I could knit & crotchet..... The legwarmers will get a good work out when Talia starts dancing. Chantilly Rose had such a beautiful stall at Market Girl a few weeks ago. I look forward to seeing you again at the markets Julie.

Cheers

Market Girl stall

2011-06-03T20:54:00.009+08:00

I had a stall at "Market Girl" last weekend. It was great and a well organised, well promoted market and it makes such a difference with the number of people that come through the door!

I had the Floppy Ruffle Swimsuit, Dance skirts and Rashy's on display. The response was amazing and such wonderful feedback. It was lovely to see some familar faces from the other stalls and meet some more talented mum's. Thanks to my supportive friend, Nikki, who came to visit. She's always there with her girls, no matter how far she has to drive... and I always love to have a cuddle from my favourite clients, Jade & Alice!!!

Here is a cute little girl that couldn't wait to put on her pink Mesh Dance Skirt!

I really enjoy doing the markets and I have a few more booked in.... more details to come later! After finishing a few orders this week and dealing with a little sick girl, I'm ready to start cutting & sew more stock and thinking of introducing another gorgeous bright pattern to the Floppy Ruffle Swimsuit!

Take care Lee-Anne

Boys Rashy's

2011-05-27T21:26:00.015+08:00

I am very excited I have finished some Boys Swimwear for the Market Girl markets this Sunday.
I have had ideas for these for a very long time, so I was excited to get started! I always want my swimwear to stand out from the usual stuff you can buy at the local retail stores, as I love creating clothes with a gorgeous difference. So you can be at the beach and spot your child out of the crowd knowing they are safe! I made a few samples and showed them to some parents with boys, a few past the test, but my more creative ones needed a few adjustments...

So I came to this conclusion between little girls & little boys: Little girls love to be different and "very" different, however Little boys like to be "similar to the norm" with only a little difference.... .e.g little girls love lots of patterns and not much plain colours, however boys like only little pattern and lots of plain colours. Until I start getting some feedback from parents with boys, I'll find out if I'm on the right track or not... It's so hard to get into the mind of the male gender!!!!!!

Here are some pictures, sorry they are not professional photos. I'll wait until the weather warms up and I already have my funky boys lined up!
If you are coming along to Market Girl, please pop in and say Hi and of course give me some feedback!

Cheers Lee-Anne

SHOP

2011-05-15T10:39:00.003+08:00

I have finally found a "SHOP" available in Facebook that is user friendly. I have had so many request for an On-line shop and I'm not too sure the best way to do it.

I did try "Etsy" but some were not comfortable using it with USD and with Etsy so big now, my items were getting lost. With everyone plugged into Facebook, I thought I should try it that way.... I have wanted to have an on-line shop for a long time, but not too sure which way to tackle it.

I do have a website developer booked in to create a HeavenLee Creations website, but until I get time to do my layout, I will try using a Facebook store....

Here is the link for the "HeavenLee Creations Facebook store" and receive a discount if you are a "Liker" of the page!

If anyone has any suggestions or advice, I am happy to hear it.
Cheers Lee-Anne

Next Market-Market Girl!

2011-05-07T20:02:00.004+08:00

Here are the details of the next market we will be at, Market Girl!I have purchased some lycra from EBay for some Boys Rashy's, it was the only place I could find some at a decent price!!! It is army/camo which I'll pair up with some Blue or Green, and also some cute Racing Checkers which will look HOT with some red lycra, for all them "Cars" fans! I can't wait to receive it and get started...

Enjoy your "Mothers Day" tomorrow and I hope all you wonderful mothers are spoilt!!! I can't wait to show you my present from my daughter Talia, Jenny at Small Prints North made it and I have always wanted a finger print jewellery piece. It'll complement my crepe paper corsage/rose my daughter made me at daycare just perfectly! I'll be a very proud mummy wearing it tomorrow at our breakfast at "Oakover Winery!" yiippeeee!!!

Cheers Lee-Anne

Treasure Hunt Market-my stall!

2011-05-05T21:29:00.010+08:00

I had my first stall last Sunday at Treasure Hunt Market. I surprised myself and was organised, I even had some time to whip up some headbands. Here is my stall!

A huge thanks to everyone who came to visit, it was great to see you and meet some new people!!! and of course my mum, for the support on the day! I loved it on the day and had a lot of fun, setting up, chating to people on the day and most of all getting feedback and advice from the regular's. Thanks for all the positive feedback on the Floppy Ruffle Swimsuits!

The markets were really slow and all the stall holders agreed it was very quiet, not too sure why, school holidays??? However, I always said I wanted to do a few test-run stalls so I am ready for the summer markets with the swimsuits. So I'm not going to let the slowness of my first market get me down, and I have already booked another market for 29th May. Details to come soon, so keep posted!!

Cheers Lee-Anne

Ready for the Treasure Hunt Market!

2011-04-30T13:54:00.006+08:00

1 more sleep until the Treasure Hunt Market and I'm all ready! All the sewing done, paperwork done, labelling & admin stuff done, banner received from Vista Print, and I've tested the display.

I have the bestest dad in the whole world!!!! He is a cabinet maker "Elverd Furniture Designs" and I gave him some Ikea towel racks and asked him to make me a clothing display stand. 2 days ago he dropped this off at my door and it was exactly what I wanted!!

So please keep a look out for this display when you come! I also bought this little towel rack from Ikea and it is perfect for my skirts.

I'm very excited now and will try to get some headbands sewn up tonight, just as a little extra surprise....

Cheers Lee-Anne

Mesh Dance Skirts

2011-04-27T20:16:00.013+08:00

These skirts are the cutest!! I will have them for sale at the Treasure Hunt Market this Sunday, 1st May at Craigie Leisure Centre from 9am-12Sorry, I don't have any professional photo's of these yet..... My photographer is sipping back cocktails on a cruise ship, Enjoy Jeannette!!!

They are available for sizes 0-6. I have pink (as pictured), fluro green and red. I love sewing with this mesh and it was nice to use my mum's pattern that she used for me when I was a little girl. However, I have found a great pattern for this skirt on Etsy, check out the IGrow Kids shop.

Here are Talia & Jade on Easter Sunday morning in their skirts. Looks like they are plotting a mission to find the Easter Bunny!

Cheers Lee-Anne

2011-04-21T09:58:00.003+08:00

New logo!

2011-04-18T06:12:00.010+08:00

WOW! so very busy, but it feels great knowing that in 2 weeks we will have our first market!

I finally have my logo designed professionally and I LOVE IT!!! thanks Bianca!

Welcome to the new "HeavenLee Creations"

Here is a copy of the new business cards that I am eagerly waiting for and I can't wait to hand them out at our first market! A huge thanks to "Bianca Darling" for turning my logo idea's into reality, please check out her Etsy stop. I can't wait to design my website with her!

Sewing for the markets is going great, and huge thanks to my mum for helping me out! All the Floppy Ruffles swimsuits are nearly finished. I have even started on some "Dance Skirts" and they are just way too funky! (some pics to come shortly)

Here are some cute pics of my cute little ducks at our photoshoot a few weekends ago! Arn't they too cute!!!

Cheers Lee-Anne

Photoshoot!

2011-04-10T20:06:00.015+08:00

Wow, I have been so very busy the last few weeks..... Everything is kicking into overdrive for the "Treasure Hunt Market" on 1st May. We had a photoshoot last Sunday down at Hillary's Boat Harbour with 5 gorgeous girl and 1 little cute baby! Check out the amazing photo's from "Jeannette Baxter Photography", they are too cute! If you would like to see more photo's, please "LIKE" us on Facebook!

Sewing for the 60 swimsuits is nearly finished! I am a little behind schedule, but considering I'm working 3 full-time days, teaching dancing Monday night & Saturday, swimming Thursday's and most importantly full-time mummy, I think I'm doing pretty well.... Every spare 10 minutes I can sit at a sewing machine is treated like gold at the moment (hence the reason for no blogging)! Let's hope I can keep up the pace for the next few weeks...

Here's another little tester!!! Too cute!!!

Please contact myself if you would like to use these photo's and I can check with my photographer. If you would like copies, I can email you a booking form from my photographer for professional printing.

Cheers

Lee-Anne

A start for the markets!

2011-03-27T20:03:00.022+08:00

What a busy week! I have cut out 50 "Floppy Ruffle Swimsuits", which includes 150 ruffles and boy am I glad all the cutting out is done! I have rolled hem approx 120 ruffles and surprisingly I'm enjoying it and can't wait to get back into the sewing room to finish them. Here is a sneak peak what I will have available at "Treasure Hunt Market Place" on 1st May at Craigie Leisure Centre. I have sizes 000-6 with 4 different fabric choices. I don't like how they fit on the dummy, but my model was asleep....

I'm really looking forward to my first market and hopefully I'll be checking off my "To Do" quicker than I thought... I have booked in a photo shoot, bought materials, ordered Clothing Tags, next is to find some nice Clothing Racks for display.

Cheers Lee-Anne

HotPants & Bikini Bathers!

2011-03-14T13:02:00.013+08:00

I love this fabric and thought of this design straight away!!! I love it!!! Another pair of bathers for swimming lessons.
The fabric is black with fluro coloured peace signs on it. The style is Hotpants with a Halter neck top. The shorts have a gather with a bow tie at the sides and the top has it at the centre front.

Too funky!!!!

I love sewing with lycra, just overlock and done! The fabric went great in the chlorinated hydrotherapy pool, but it was a very expensive fabric and I normally wouldn't spend that much on lycra, but it was too damn cute for 50cm.... A few adjustments to make and then they will be up for sale!

Cheers Lee-Anne

Cheers Lee-Anne

Christmas Catie Dress

2011-03-09T13:01:00.040+08:00

Ever since Christmas I have wanted to put Talia's Christmas dress on her and get some photo's, I did it the other day and she has out-grown it...opps I guess "I missed the boat"... I used a red & white spotted coton with a red & white striped cotton for the bands and of course a fabric flower on the front and a matching headband!

.... .. Here are some pic's that I did get over christmas.... We had so many christmas parties to go to, but we only made it to 2 as we were all sick... Talia doesn't look impressed and Santa looks drunk in her official 2010 Christmas photo.. and our family photo is blurry... oh well.....

I used the "Catie Dress" pattern from Little Lizard King. I love using your patterns LLK, they are so quick & easy, which every busy mum needs! Check out their new website & store here!

I bought this children's display dummy when my favourite fabric store closed down for$10... Not sure if I like it, but maybe painting it white might help....

Cheers Lee-Anne
