Sneak Peak: Kiwiana 4 Kids

I can't resist giving you a sneak peak of my newest designs. Leo and I had fun today taking some pics... I was amazed at how patient he was! I think the bribes of shortbread and chocolate buttons were his main motivation. We did this mini photoshoot so I could send some photos to an Australian blog who are doing a fab promotion next month... [not sure how much I can say so stay tuned to find out more in July].

Anyway my mind is always wizzing with new ideas for tee designs and given the popularity of my Born in NZ tee (see here and buy here) I thought some more kiwiana themed tees were the go.




These tees are screenprinted with applique elements that make them truly unique! Top in red is the Tui Tee (a native NZ bird) and bottom in yellow is the Jandal Tee. I will be loading these onto the website in the next couple of days.

Oh and did I mention I am also doing these in adult sizes too? Yay!!

Stay snuggly warm in our HALF PRICE HOODIES!!!

So who's feeling the cold? The sun is shining but it is still pretty chilly outside why not take advantage of our fantabulous HALFPRICE HOODIE SALE! These hoodies are end of line in our kiwiana range and all must go.



We have only 2 super cool mens Weta hoodies left... these have proved so popular expecially with expat kiwis and the odd bug freak! Also available are the Nature Chaos, My Aotearoa (pictured) hoods available in both mens and womens sizes and Kiwi hoods available in mens sizes.

Get yours now and stay warm with CC Tees!

Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble...

What to do when your spouse flys across to the other side of the world, you are ill with tonsilitis and your two year old is obsessed with books and cooking shows?

Hmm....
So Queens Birthday holiday on Monday and well it wasn't really a very nice day here in Auckland. Hubby left on an OS trip with words of warning of localised tornadoes forecast for Auckland and I had woken up feeling well... pretty shady to say the least. Turns out (after a trip to the a/hrs dr and $110 later!!!) that I have tonsilitis. What a fabulous way to start 2 weeks without hubby.

Mr 2 loves books and every week he has a new favourite that just has to be read over and over and over and over... his other obsession is cooking shows on TV. I must admit I am a little partial myself, but Mr 2 calls them "his" shows and particularly likes the ladies... Rachel Ray, Nigella, Giada... so when he found a book amongst a pile given to us recently by friends it was obvious this would soon become the new favourite.

The book?
The Witch in the Cherry Tree by Margaret Mahy, which just happens to have a recipe for Gingerbread Witches in the back!

So one of hubby's chat's with Mr 2 before he left was that maybe he could ask Mummy to help him make some Gingerbread Witches...
How could I say no!

So yesterday when Mr 2 decided (as he often does these days) that he was not having a nap there was nothing else for it. Thankfully Mr 7 months was napping!

The evidence.



The process involved making our own witch stencil, but after cutting out a few I got lazy and made the rest into Gingerbread Cookies. The eyes were supposed to be currents but we only had sultanas on hand. Did the trick and Mr 2 was happy!

And the winners are....
