The latest

The latest issue of Okido mag is an absolute winner! all about poo... My own moopy poo can't get enough, it is on high rotation at our place (even at bedtime!). You can get a copy at Nest if you like. I am a big fan off this magazine for 2-7 year olds... every issue is jam packed full of quality, wonderful illustrations, stories and activities. I have been stocking Okido since it began (there are even a few back issues available offline at Nest if you missed out) as I was so impressed with the vibrancy and integrity (no ads..just super fun and educational).

In other latest news ... it's a girl! (phew.. Lily would have already had me lined up for #3 otherwise) Of course she almost cried with excitement yelling out "I knew it would be a sister mummy, I told yooooou". Bring it on ... let the 'house flipping upside down and turned around' decorating begin! I will have loads of pics to share soon as the shop reno is almost complete too and Amy's show is in full swing.

And because I never seem to have time to reply to comments and emails (sorry) I need to answer the "how did you make the stickers" questions. They were made by drawing in pencil on recycled paper, cutting out the shapes and then using one of those inexpensive nifty Xyron machines.

AND last but not least, Umbrella Prints textiles, Flip Dolls and Zakka packs are so very close to being ready... frustrating I know but so very close! I am even confident enough to report the NEW SHOP UPDATE for May 20 (those on the mailing list via this blog or the comments over at the Flip Doll blog will hear from us ASAP) I can't wait to show you the colours we have carefully chosen... so many colours in the world, so little fabric to print!!! Let me just say that all that orange (as much as I lurve it) was just to throw you.

Squeee! A girl! Great news! I asked Audrey the other day and she said she thought Lily would have a sister. Lily knew, too! A sonographer told me that kids more often than not guess correctly. Spoooky! Hope you're well. Will have to catch up soon. xo

Hi, I may have only commented once or twice before but felt compelled to this afternoon. I was overjoyed to read you have another girl to join you. We welcomed our second girl last year and I cried with excitement too when the sonographer announced it. Such brilliant news to enjoy.
