Oh, the busyness!

Although it's been an age since I last wrote, it's been anything but quiet in Crazy Aunt land. My best friend got married two weeks ago, and I spent time making bridesmaids dresses; I spent a weekend doing yoga in the bush (absolute bliss); have been prepping and sewing growers and bags; and planning how to organise the Crazy Aunt room. This weekend I'll be sorting everything out, and will take a few pics of some of the growers we have in stock.

Brown grower, turquoise Africa, 0 to 3 months

I'm loving brown combos at the moment, and it seems you are too – I don't have any long-sleeve brown growers in 0 to 3 months left! Hope to get more stock soon.

Shirt for Karlee

It's my niece Karlee's birthday next week, so I made her this shirt, which will be on its way to Michigan tomorrow. Wish I could be there to celebrate, little pumpkin.

Blue (and brown) for boys

I've been playing around with combinations of fabric and growers, and dug up these pieces with blue and brown in them. What do you think? Not the best of light, but trust me - they're fab!

Blue for girls

I was putting together fabric options for someone who wants something a little different for a baby girl, and had to share this with you. Some of my favourite fabric!

The Crazy Aunt Company - PTY ltd

True story, I swear: just as I'd finished typing up this post's title, an ad came on the telly - the one for Nedbank, where a man wearing scrubs bursts out of a delivery room and shouts, "It's a [insert dramatic pause] PTY limited!"
And that, dear readers, is exactly why I'm writing. Today Marc picked up the registration certificates for The Crazy Aunt Clothing Company. All papers signed (in black ink), stamps stamped, registrations registered.
Crazy Aunt is now officially a company. Look out clothing world, here we come!

Fab fabric Friday

I'm putting together a cushion in some of these fabrics – will post a pic (taken in better light!) when it's done.

Born in 2010, pink Africa, 0 to 3 months

Born in 2010, on one of the new pink growers made specially for The Crazy Aunt Co. I have plenty of fab fabric to go with this pink – can't wait to get sewing.

Fab fabric Friday

This fabric will look incredible on one of my brown growers. Or turquoise, Or green. Please shout if I can make one up for you!

For Jessica

This white and red grower is on its way to little Jessica, who was born a week or two ago. I really like the simplicity of red and white.

The ultimate Football Friday grower

IT IS HERE! The vibe is UNBELIEVABLE. Not a moment goes by without a vuvuzela being blown; most people are wearing Bafana jerseys, and flags are flying everywhere. What an incredible, incredible day. How could I not put this grower up?

Price: R130

Something different

Don't know if it's a boy or girl? Let me put together a design that's a little different – how about chocolate brown and white?

Fab Friday fabric

If you're bold enough to dress your little girl in pink and black, please drop me a line. I have hot pink growers that'd look AMAZING with designs in this fabric.

Pink grower, pink Africa, 0 to 3 months

Here's the first of the dark pink Born in 2010 growers. The lighting's not too great, but you get the idea? (Oh- I got the first of my very own made-for-me growers last night. Expect to see pics of chocolate brown and stone growers posted within the next few days!)

Price: R120

In the media

And - it's out! A Crazy Aunt design on the cover of the June/July issue of FitPregnancy magazine, with exposure inside. Happiness.
