Navy strip grower, yellow Africa, newborn

It's not often I come across growers made from such bold fabric – so lots of happiness when I found this!

This is us

Here it is - the Crazy Aunt logo. What do you think?

I'm loving it! We're just finalising the design of the new swing tags, and pretty soon everything that leaves the Crazy Aunt factory (aka the spare room in our house) will have a gorgeous tag attached. Happy, happy times.

(PS the logo was designed by Esthea, who's also working on our swing tags and stationery. Check out her site - www.estheadesigns.co.za)

Books and covers

I judge books by their covers. There, I said it. I find it very hard, when surrounded by shelves and shelves of paper and books and pictures, to muster up any enthusiasm to pick up the ones that appear, well, boring. I'm attracted to interesting things. It's as simple as that.
And it's for this reason that I've been staring at a single piece of paper for the past four hours: I'm trying to decide on a logo design for The Crazy Aunt Company.
Poor Esthea Gardner. She's designing the logo and has had to put up with emails requesting her to knock a word two spaces to the right, photographs of sketches that I've scribbled (and then scrapped), font changes, format changes, colour changes and a whole heap of indecision.
That single piece of paper I'm staring at? There are five logo designs on it, and I need to choose one. The problem? I love them all.

Watch this space - I'll decide before I go to bed, and the new design should be up here tomorrow.

A bag for Karlee

This little bag is on its way to my niece Karlee in Durango. It was made with lots of love.

Olive letter shirt, any age

Letter shirts are one of The Crazy Aunt Company's most popular items. We can make them in any size up to 10 years, and have a range of colours for the shirts (olive green, navy, sky blue, purple, pink, red or purple).

Little Miss Wood

This, quite possibly, is one of my favourite growers ever. It's for David and Aimee's little girl, who's due in just under four weeks. Exciting times for the Woodies!

A bag from Africa

Here's the first bag made with Africa on it. What I like is that there's not a zebra print in sight! What do you think?
