it's makeover time

Its been a while....

In the past few months a lot has happened... Firstly my little man was born exactly a month ago today

And understandably this past month has flown by. I have had my family staying with me and it has been wonderful. But they have all gone home now and its time to work out how life is going to be for us from here on:)

I have 6 months of maternity leave... and I hoping that I may not have to go back to full time work. That is where Absolutely Alice is going to come into play. I want to make this little 'hobby' of mine more of a job. But a job I will love and enjoy doing, and one I can fit in around my two gorgeous children...

Allaya and Archer at our family photoshoot at Cornwall Park with the lovely Bianca from Little Wing Photography.

My plan is to blog regularly, about life, crafting and anything else that takes my fancy!!! Also to increase my felt listings. I am in the process of getting my goodies into two more shops, (Four Letters in Birkenhead currently stock some of my necklaces), which would be a step in the right direction, and very exciting!

So here's to new adventures....


Absolutely Alice

Crafternoon-Tea

I had a lovely day today at Crafternoon-Tea... Was a little dubious waking up this morning to what sounded like a tropical storm, but by the time i packed the car and headed to Little and Friday for a soy chai the sky had started to clear and it wasn't too bad...

I arrived in Kingsland to be greeted by the lovely Lisa who told me that I would be able to park right outside the hall  and had help carrying in all my boxes.... :) What a great start to the morning:)

It was great to be back at the market after missing out last month cos of being sick. Everyone is always sooo lovely and its nice to catch up with all the other lovely ladies.

Here is a couple of pictures of my pretty little stand:)

I have had a busy week at home alone making lots of cute new products like.......

 Pretty paper covered Binder Clips ($5 set of 6) , Magnetic Pegs ($5 for a set of 4) and cute Vintage Noddy Magnets ($4 each)... All very popular.. I have no Magnetic Pegs left (more under construction) and 1 Noddy Magnet left.

 Made lots of new pretty dangly earrings ($12 a pair).... and displayed them in the old case....

And here is one of the gorgeous Taggi Monsters.... $12 each and perfect for little hands.

Its been a long and successful day.... My little girl is cuddled up beside me... but its time to go to bed... see you soon xx

I miss absolutely alice..... so much going on that has taken me away from it.... But i will be back Lovelies....

The rest of life got in my way.... sorry

So..... I was so excited to start and blog and attached a little shop (which is still empty.. sorry again).. I was ready to become part of the blogging world and make Absolutely Alice avaliable to lots more people.... and the the rest of my life got in the way...... moving house, and lots of markets, buying a new business (.... more on that soon) unpacking the house, no internet still at the new place.... and a serious lack of time.... it all got in the way of this part of my life....

I am so sorry!!!!
I will make it up to you in the New Year :)

I am a generalist too

Found this quote today..... and I think I will steal it:)

"I love all things craft. I am a generalist not focusing on one form of art, rather a maker of all trades. I get a sense of accomplishment finding I can create in a new way. I usually get stuck on one area for a while... I rotate when I get board.  I also love selling what I make because I love all my items & believe others will too!

Absolutely Alice... Has a website(sort of) and an Online shop:)

I thought it was impossible... But it is good to believe in impossible things.

It has been a LONG time in the making.... and after unsuccessfully trying to set up a website.... a lightbulb went on in my head and I realised I could probably just set up a blog with some sort of shop attached to it:) And that is what I have done.

Welcome to my Website/blog/Shop.... It is so Absolutely wonderful to see you:)


This is my latest attempt at entering the blogging world... as I am not the most talented writer I have failed at this in the past... but Absolutely Alice seems to be taking off and this will be a great way to let people know whats going on, show new products and ideas... and to of course sell some goodies to the public that don't live in Auckland:)


This is a work in progress and I will make adjustments as needed.. bare with me:) I hope you'll follow me....

p.s sorry about the white highlighting..... I do not know how to get rid of it:)
