Referral from Creative Mamma!

It was such a nice surprise to see one of my favourite tops promoted on the "Creative Mamma" website. The "Floppy Wrap or Maternity Wrap" was featured in Creative Mamma's blog for some "Maternity Fashion Finds". Check out number 2!

My friends know that I live in these tops and have many in different fabrics & colours. I still wear them even though I am not pregant, they are so comfortable and easy to throw on while you run out the door with bub & bags in hand.

Thank you Joy for featuring a HeavenLee Creation on your website. Check out Joy's website "Creative Mamma's" for all mummy & bubby/children things!

Little girl Jeans with Cherry's

A few weeks ago it was Jade's 4th birthday and I wanted to test out a quick pants pattern I bought from DMK Kids Patterns on Etsy. Adjusted the pattern a bit and with some denim and cute Cherry cotton, they turned out perfect!

I put a cute tie in the front waist and also elastic. The legs are extra wide with a huge cuff on the bottom to allow for growing.

Here are some pics of the birthday girl and what a great model!! Happy 4th Birthday Jade!

I love seeing people in the clothes I create! Keep posted for a cute Pinafore Wrap also made for Jade!

Cheers Lee-Anne

Oh... what a few months!

What a winter we have had..... so busy with various trips to PMH, RPH, Dr's, phone calls from Talia's daycare to urgently pick up a sick bub and a major family emergency this week...
In between all the illnesses of the last few months, I have managed to sew quiet a bit... I just have to take some decent pics and get blogging again!!!

Here is a Maternity Dress I made for a client's photography shoot. It is a gorgeous Magenta chiffon flowy dress with a "Cross over" top, gathered under the bust and shirring around the back. It looks amazing on Bec and I was very happy with the end product! The pictures are from Fiona Colvin Photography

I love these pictures!!! Nothing beats a professional photo and gorgeous model.....


Congratulations to Rebecca & Ross on the birth of Wyatt!
Here is my home taken pic...... ummm, no comparison.....

I've had an order through my "Etsy shop" which was very exciting for me and the customer was happy with a perfect fit!!! Thanks for supporting "Handmade" Kellie. I'm also working on another clients dress, which will look great when I have finished! I also want to get some kiddie bathers & rashy's on my "Etsy shop" ready for summer!

Hopefully I can get another post done middle of next week and thanks for everyone for checking my blog!

Cheers Lee-Anne

P.S. Alan you will be missed dearly and were a wonderul brother, brother-in-law, uncle and friend. We will keep your happy memories alive when Talia grows up. xxxxx

Our Wedding Anniversary!

Today is our 3rd year wedding anniversary. It does not feel like 3 years since we were standing on the beach at Vanuatu with our closest family & friends. Here is a pic of our amazing day!There has been sooo much going on in our house at the moment, my sewing time is vanishing!!!

On 8th July it was John (my hubby's) b'day and we had a roast lunch with friends and I made him a meringue cake, which Jade helped me decorate.

Uncle John I promise I didn't eat all the M&M's......

I have never been successful at making meringue's, so I got out my Margaret Fulton encyclopedia that my sis bought me for my b'day, and SUCCESS!!!! I also received a gorgeous book called "Homemade" for my b'day with lots of little projects in it! It is such a pretty book, thank you Rini! I'm not much of a knitter but I might aim to get these Fingerless gloves done for next winter... maybe.... Here is the Meringue recipe and Fingerless gloves pattern!

Angel always loves sitting on the pages of a book that I want to read, and Talia found out the joy of her big sister (Angel) boxes & toys...

Talia has a bottom tooth now, hence the last 2 weeks of a grumble-bum bub!! I think she also has the other bottom one coming through too! Here is an update for my parents of Talia jumping (sorry mum you have to look sideways..)

Love Lee

PS. I promise some sewing projects to come... PPS. Also Happy Anniversary to my sis & my Richie Bro! who joined us for a Double Wedding in Vanuatu! Love ya's

It's my birthday!

It is my birthday today and I have been so spoilt! My mixer blew up on Sunday while I was baking cupcakes to take to work, so today I received an AWESOME mixmaster from John & Talia! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!!!!! I couldn't resist today by baking some more cupcakes with my new mixer! I baked some peach & vanilla cupcakes today with cream frosting and I coloured the coconut for the topping.

We had morning tea at work yesterday and I baked some mudcake muffins and cappacino cupcakes with a meringue topping. I used my cupcake stand and I forgot to take a photo, it looked awesome! But managed to take a pic of 2 cupcakes before John demolised them!

Here are some of the pressies I have recieved, some boots from my sis, cupcake stand from my mother-in-law(pic above), mixer from John & Talia.

I also had a wonderful card made from Talia at daycare yesterday. It's the first hand & footprints that we have of her. Thank Nicole & Jess! I did try once when she was really little, but ended up with paint everywhere and no prints....
I have had the most enjoyable day today. Here are some things that happened on my b'day!
Morning tea with Nikki at McCafe, I hopped out of the shower this morning and turned around and there was Angel sitting in the wet shower!, also some pics of mummy & Talia. The most memorable thing today was having a dance with Talia to playschool...... our own little moment....






















As my parents are RVing around USA, I told mum I'd keep her updated on Talia on my blog. Here she is crawling around on the weekend. She is now standing up and desperately grabbing onto anything she can pull herself up on!

Love Lee

Pacifier Clip

When you have a sick baby & husband, it's time to sterilize the house! While sterilizing the dummies I noticed Talia has been sucking on her Pacifier Clip forever! So time for a new one.

Here is the clean new one and the old (pink & black) clip....

I have made her a new Pacifier Clip that matches her Tote Bag & Hat, with Denim & Pink. It has a wider band so it is harder for her teething gums to chew on. However I did have a quick thought to myself...It is missing a "T" to personalize it.... ohh well....

Now enough sewing for Talia, time to get cracking on some orders I have to do!

I hope everyone is rugging up during the chilly mornings....

Cheers Lee

Bonnet, Booties & Mittens

I have a very clever Nanny! Before she left for her holiday she knitted me a Bonnet & Booties and I love them!!! Thank you Nanny, I love you and will miss you! Love Talia xxx
We have had a few Milestones for Talia lately.

• She has started slowly crawling, even if it is to reach for toys & food!
• She is also now saying "ba ba ba...", so she now has mmm & bbbb down pact and hasn't stopped talking all day!! Another chatterbox in the house... poor John....

I have been looking for some knitted fingerless mittens in a babies size and haven't found anything.... So I made my own with some old baby socks, just cut out the toes and a tiny hole for her thumb and they work great, so i'll do some more soon! They do the job and keep her hands warm!
Cheers Lee-Anne
