New Mini Bag design with zip.

After many months of procrastination we finally have a new mini bag design with a zip top. Priced at $65.00 via the website (soon to be added) this is a brilliant addition to our collection. Available in a myriad of fabrics, and with an internal mobile phone pocket, top zipper and back zip pocket... the perfect casual bag.

Beautiful Backpack...

I love this fabric, it's the greatest mix of girlyness, Japanese loveliness and urban funk! Reminds me of Charlie and Lola in a kids illustration sort of way :)

New Fabrics and Styles

Oh my goodness, I have been so busy I've not had time to put anything on the blog for ages... My new day resolution is to change that and be a bit more proactive about blogging! I know I said I'd have the new website up by now, but it's still coming. I also promised new photos by the end of March, but this is looking more like the end of May. However, to give you a taster, here are photos of the new Zip-Up Day Bag and we also now have NEW Zip-Up Mini Bag!!! Kathy has been super busy being good and busy... I've just been busy procrastinating, but sometimes that's what's needed I think!

Fat Mumma's Bags for sale a the Darebin Kite Festival 2011

The Greens Party have been kind enough to offer us space on their stall at the Darebin Kite Festival on Sunday 27th February. This will also raise a few bucks for the Party.

Fingers crossed the weather holds out. It was glorious today... but looks like it may be raining tomorrow! Ah well... it's good for the garden and I just planted basil and beetroot today, so they will be happy :) My tomato plants are loving this weather too :)

Harvest Textiles Workroom

I am in lust with this place:

http://harvesttextilestudio.blogspot.com/

Every time I open up their blog I literally feel my mouth water!!! I am sooo desperate to do one of the workshops I feel I'm almost about to have an anxiety attack when I see it!!! Wish I had time. It's got to be one of the new years resolutions... get to the Harvest Workroom and do one of their workshops.

I'm sad to miss out on the textiles exhibition.. just couldn't get there... but will keep my eyes peeled for more great stuff to attend. I didn't win the tea towel workshop, but hope to get to one later in the year....

Please Harvest Workroom, don't go away... I promise I'll be there soon :)

Love and Peace

Fat Mumma's Nappy Bag Redesign

Today I closed down the nappy bag buying page as we have now officially launched our new nappy bag design. It's going great guns and we hope to have photos and information online by the end of March.

It's been a bit quiet here at the blog over Christmas and January as of course Australia tends to close down for those months... but we have the redesigned nappy bag to show for it as well as the skeleton makings of a new website. We are hoping to make the site easier to update with our latest fabrics.. so keep your eyes peeled!

As we don't have photos of our new bags yet, it is possible to see one at the Esplanade Market on any Sunday of the year.. baring gale force winds and torrential rain! We are there between 10am and 4.30pm.. so come say hello :)

Love and Peace.

Hand Made Christmas Pressies

One of the things about being into hand-made craft is that you become a little over obsessed with using up every little last bit of scrap fabric or paper. That's where this little product came from:



A one off of scrap leftover, but oh so cute!

Bag a bargain for Christmas

Christmas is rushing at me like a freight train and I've just realised we are almost in December. What with school functions for the kids, fundraisers, dance concerts and markets, it's a crazy, crazy time@!!! But all good fun! No bah humbugging from me at this time of year... I love it! And, because I'm in such a 'love it kind of mood' and want to pass on the Christmas vibe. I'm offering a FREE beach bag, with every backpack ordered online before 15th December!!!

Remember, we are at the Esplanade Market in St Kilda every Sunday between 10am and 4pm if you want to get down and bag a bargain. AND, you get to see our NEW day bags with zips. We are discontinuing the day bags with studs and replacing them with zips... as we've heard you people... you want a zip!!! :) We have finally listened!

One of our enthusiastic customers recently sent me this lovely testimonial about our quilted nappy bags, which I had to share with you all:

"They really are fantastic - I can't imagine why so many people lug around heavy designer bags - and I was almost one of those people. Your bag has the perfect amount of pockets - one for the keys, the drink bottle, the phone, diary, and importantly one for my stuff and one for the kids - so I feel at least that I have a little of my own space! The backpack option - while I don't use it often, has saved the day enough times - including jsut recently having to carry a sick three year old into casualty from the not-very-conviently located carpark."

Naomi also runs her own business which sells these amazing fruit juices, which I will give a huge plug to for Christmas. Infact friends, be warned you may be getting some of these for Christmas! Frou Frou Cordials can be found here: froufroucordials.com.au
