Wednesday, February 8, 2012. Say Hi to "Oli e Lui". I haven't blogged much lately. not for lack of things to blog about but we didn't have a computer for over 2 weeks and since then I have been madly trying to sew for my NEW label. I have decided to bite the bullet and start a kids clothing design business for real. I'm calling it Oli e Lui. And I have even ordered labels. feeling flash! Here are a few things I have made in the last few weeks to start with. 100% cotton long sleeve top. sizes 1-5 years.

Thursday, March 1, 2012. Etsy Shop and First Etsy Sale - Woohoo! Well I have had my Etsy Shop. Open for about 2 weeks now and I have watched the stats waiting with baited breath for my first official Etsy Sale. And last night I made one. Sales have been steady through my Facebook Page. From Family, Friends and friends of friends, but it's super exciting that a "stranger" has purchased something. I am now full of motivation. and I so needed it. I am the worlds best procrastinator! Made in New Zealand.

Holly Made: October 2011
http://hollymade.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 30, 2011. Garage Sale Score: Before / After. So I went garage sale-ing on the weekend. haven't been in a while and to be honest it wasn't as exhilarating as it can be. Anyway I managed to find a few things, including this gold mirror. Yes i managed to see potential and decided it might be a quick DIY challenge. Heres what I did:. First I took it apart, screwing the back off and taking out the mirror. Then I gave it 2 coats of white pant (using a finer paintbrush for the final coat). A cou...

Tuesday, December 20, 2011. My Little Luie Turn ONE! My baby is no more. I know have a 1 year old on my hands. We had a Party on Sunday and for a present I made him a little party outfit :). I found this fabulous cotton drill (? At a garage sale a few weeks back it was a sample piece but will be enough to make a few things. Snap on bow tie for the birthday boy. And matching pants, with some contrasting red stripe. Isn't he just the cutest little party boy ever! Party post to come soon :). The Ollie T, w.

Holly Made: Minty Maddness
http://hollymade.blogspot.com/2012/04/minty-maddness.html
Saturday, April 14, 2012. I'm loving minty green at the mo, but as it seems, who isn't? Hardly an Autumn colour but i can't seem to get away from it. So this fabric is a rather gorgeous colour so I decided it should be the next Biddy Skirt. Here's the newest addition to Oli e Lui's 2012 Collection. If you are a Facebooker user and want to be updated with new things from Oli e Lui, here's my Facebook Page. She even drew my designs on the washing line. Love the bow tie. Saturday, April 14, 2012.
