What we've been up to in January

Well, as predicted, the year is zooming by! February already! We'd love sometimes to push the 'slow down' button, if there was one.

In January we had our fourth baby - a beautiful little girl! We're all totally smitten with her and adore her like crazy - you can get high from just smelling a newborn. She has already placed her blanky order :)

We also have heaps of exciting promotions and launches planned for this year, so watch this space - big news coming soon!

New Year, New Tools

The first week of January 2010 is almost over! Time certainly is flying. We hope all our readers had a wonderful Christmas/New Year/Festive Season.

2010 is already looking to be a very busy and exciting year at Blanky4me.com. So we thought new year - some new tools!

Our new pair of Mundial super professional shears are amazing and we're enjoying the smoothness of cutting with them! We've also become parents of a new sewing box for all our ever-amounting cottons.

The pincushion I whipped up in a few minutes, as our old one was looking worse for wear. I took inspiration for the coloured appliques from jewels - a woman can never have enough jewels! Of course the pincushion doesn't look like the photo now - just add a zillion pins!

We wish all our readers a Very Happy and Successful New Year and may all your hopes and dreams for 2010 come true!

We'll be at the Christmas Shopping Extravaganza!

You can't hide the fact any longer - Christmas is upon us!! Only three weeks to go. Thanks to a wonderful friend in Brisbane, Queensland, Blanky4me.com will have a stall at the Christmas Shopping Extravaganza in Brisbane tomorrow, Friday December 4.

The Extravaganza starts at 7pm at Belmont State School Hall, and includes many talented mum-run businesses - a great opportunity for some Christmas shopping while supporting mums in business!

This is a great chance for anyone in the Brisbane area to get up close to our personalised blankys and cushions and other products, and feel for yourself what so many people are raving about.

Blanky4me.com orders taken on the night, along with full payment or deposit, will enjoy FREE shipping and guaranteed pre-Christmas delivery.

Blanky4me.com is sharing a stall with mum and Occupational Therapist, Nicole Grant, www.nicolegrant.net. So if you have any questions or need information about developmental milestones for your child/ren make sure you have a chat to Nicole!
