My New Look Website




Nia at Pixel Diva Designs has re designed missy moo moo and sam. Nia worked on my original design and together we came up with the new one after the old one was looking tired and a little busy as missy moo moo and sam got busier.

The new site is easier to navigate and clearer and cleaner looking.

Allergic Reaction!!!

Oh Blimey! I had a severe allergic reaction to something which made my eyes swell, my throat and my body looked like i had a severe dose of Scarlett Fever!!

A trip to Hospital for an injection in the Posteria did the trick, 'ouch'!

My Husband very kindly said that if he knew how ugly i could look he wouldn't of married me! 'laughs'. If only i had known!! 'laughs'.

I am so vein i haven't been out of the house for two days just incase i bumped into someone i haven't seen for years and they actually thought i looked like i did. 'ooohh, i bumped into Gail and she really hasn't aged well!!' 'laughs'. Can you imagine!! Well i'm sorry it's bad enough that i need Botox than have to explain to someone that i don't usually look like this!!

The worst thing is we haven't had the children for a week either as they have been at Nana's in Wales. We could of been out partying!!! NOT! OMG i would need the Accident and Emergency ward just to get over it!

My June Best Sellers!!!

Well June was a record month in sales for missy moo moo and sam!! My Gingham storage bag must be the most popular bag on the internet!! Well ok, maybe not but its a very popular one with all you Mum's and Dads!


They so versitile i suppose too and thats why they sell so well. Being great for school i sell a lot of them for PE kits and being in School colours or Bottle Green, Red, Black, Blue, yellow etc they match with your childrens uniform.


I've come up with a new fast more cleaner way for the personalisation but its still in the testing stage but its looking good. 'what is it'? Well come on you can't expect me to give away my secrets yet.. If it works and washes well then i could have found a new quicker way that could help churn them out far quicker cutting down my schedule work time of 7-10 days.

Blimey i'm shattered all that sewing! But i still love what i do and when i get lovely comments from my customers it makes it even more worth while so thank you to you all for taking the time to do that.

Hello to Ketty!!!

Ketty has joined my blog!! Ketty runs the most fabulous website selling toys that you had perhaps forgot about bring back all that nostalgia!!

I bought a Janet and John book for Izzy one Christmas for her. If i'm honest it was because it brought back some beautiful memories for me a child. Izzy was a little too old for it really but she still loves it!

Knot Just Jigs is a really wonderful site for those games, books etc that really get you child involved and something for you to share with them bringing back those childhood memories you have.

Pick up sticks! Remember those! I bought Sam and Izzy some as a stocking filler one year they've brought endless fun to us all (Sam and Dad cheat and tell they didn't move the stick!) we know they did!!!

Go and check it out for Birthdays, Gifts, Christmas you name it there's something for everyone!!

Hellloooooooo!!

I've neglected my blog!! I'm so sorry! I've been so busy with orders that i haven't had the time. I created a new bag and have more to come.

This was created for a family friend but i love it so much i'm going to make a theme of it i think.




Pink Gingham Personalised Bag

Izzy and Sam were off School for a term break but Sam only had one and Izzy two much to his dissapointment! Izzy of course loved the fact she was off School when Sam was leaving the house at 7.30am and she was still tucked up in bed.

Izzy and me sat in the Garden in the Sun, her reading and me sewing in a 1970s Tent that was her Dad's when he was her age but of course we couldn't call it that so we told people it was a teepee! Well come on...

I had a lovely week spending quality time with Isobel, she just wishes she didn't have to go to School!! Its a tough life Izzy!



Who put the bowl on my head!! NO comments please!

Missy at Manchester City

This is Isobel at Manchester City when they played West Brom. City won 4-2 but that score line made them look great when they played awful and quite honestly West Brom could of scored more!!


Moonbeam is the Female Mascott and Moon Chester is the Male. Moonbeam came up to our stand to sit with all the supporters (yes unusually there were empty seats). Isobel squealed with excitement and had a photo with her. Moonbeam was very obliging so thank you for making Isobel's day!!

What a Pose Izzy!!!

Moo! Hair Straightener Matt

Look!!! MOOOOOOOOO!!! OH what a gorgeous velboa fabric!! I could MOO all day about this.

Black and White with Orange felt lettering and a heat proof backing for you GHD's! OH God if your like me and a little bit careless on your dressing table then these are great!

I wanted something funky to put my Straighteners on but didn't want the boring straight forward matt! Being me i wanted something slightly different but quirky and fun!

I've not seen hide nor hare of them! Isobel has pinched it!

I'm going to make a range of them so if you like them and would like a custom made one give me a shout as i'm always happy to work with your idea's.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!

Photobucket

Look it snowed!!!

I love the snow but hate it when i have to drive!! I couldn't drive!! The snow was so think and deep that i couldn't get it out of the garage and up the very small sloape i have!!

This is the view from my front room window isn't it beautiful!

I had to walk 3 miles in it though to get to the nearest Post Office to get my orders out on time! MMM, maybe it should snow more often its good for the calories, ain't it? OR does that mean i'd just eat more? Yep probably the latter!

Photobucket

Who put that blumming telegraph pole there!!!!

Can you see Hartshead Pike in the distance? This is a fabulous structure that has lots of History. It was erected as a look out to protect the hill from unwanted enemies of the 16th 17th century. It was then rebuilt in the 18th century and was a beacon tower. The Victorians put a shop inside and that stayed up until the late 1960s i think. Its a beautiful view of the whole of Manchester and on a clear day you can see the Welsh Hills very clearly and more importantly Eastlands Manchester City's Stadium!

The Romans built a brick road upto it which is right facing the house but you'd have to have X ray eyes to see it!

Right i'll stop boring you!

The snow is still here a week later and more is forecast :( I've had enough now!! My poor little car has been parked on my little old lane for nearly a week now and has been subjected to Iceballs!

I've bought some lovely fabric though and thank fully i got that ok, thank God for the internet! I don't always have to drive to the Wholesaler!

Here's a taster
