Exciting week

Whilst fluffy changes has been very busy in it's new locations behind the scenes excitement has been building. You see after being together for over 4 years now The lovely Angela is about to wed her partner in a small and intimate ceremony, And truthfully we all can't wait!

But still the show must go on and you will still see us at The handmade Expo on Saturday this weekend. I (Jodie) may have a head of rollers, but we will be there. And with 10 weeks until Christmas it is time to start thinking about what amazing handmade gifts you can give this year.

So we look forward to seeing you on Saturday with our Friends So Puffity - Handmade with Puff .

Don't forget that we have EFTPOS on hand too with no extra fees and charges.

Some interesting changes

So for those who have been following along on Facebook, in recent months Fluffy changes has undergone some big changes. We now welcome on board my equally creative and certainly talented sister Angela who is also a mum of three children ranging from 14 - 2.5.

With the addition of Angela it has meant she has brought new skills and creative expertise. With her main star attraction being the amazing and different hobby horses. Each one is different and no two are ever the same. From girly girl horses with tiaras to boys ones featuring their favourite characters and then some in the middle.

Angela also creates high tea cake stands from up=cycled crockery, tea cup planters, activity cases and chalk rolls. Plus so much more.

With this it means our products are also able to be in stock at The Gift Tree - gift shop at North Ipswich. Angela works in the store several times of the month as well so you are able to meet face to face with the business owners there. The store is open seven days a week, including until 8pm on Thursday nights.

So with out further ado here is some of the wonderful things you can currently find at The gift Tree.

These amazing Hobby Horses start at $40.

 The activity packs are just $10 and come with crayons, paper and stickers.

These face washer/bath towel gift sets are $17

What is happening

Sorry I have been a bit MIA here.

So here comes my updates:

Firstly Raising Thomas blog and puzzling items have been going well. We started off very well here and just remember new items are being added every week! It is fun and exciting creating these items!

I have now being listing lots of various items on my Made it Store. This is to open the variety of customers I am able to reach. I am doing an item of the day each day (when I have a quiet moment) to let you know what items are available in store. I try and do something different each day, but remember you can always just visit the store through that link by clicking on the link each day and then my banner at the top of the store. This will show you all items available.

Remember that Christmas is just around the corner. This year think Handmade as a way of helping out a local family and community rather than a big retail giant. You will also be give a unique gift that will be treasured for a long time to come. When it comes to fluffy changes items this is definitely the case!

Also the Handmade expo is only 10 days away now and once again we will be there with lots of gift ideas for family and friends, from key wristlets to make-up cases to children's clothing. There might even be a limited few items for mum and dad too! Can't wait to see you all there, it is going to be one HUGE market day with steam train rides and even a fireman or two!

Camp Autism Charity Auction

Tonight starts a 48hr charity Auction for Camp Autism run through Funky Fabrix.

Normally Fluffy Changes does not get too involved in Charity Auctions. (And yes I get asked almost weekly if I could help out.) But this one is different becuase this is something very close to our heart. I also know that Mary and Brian who run Camp Autism do an amazing service and look forward to attending their next QLD camp with my family.

So please stop by Funky Fabrixs facebook page and see the action starting tonight at 6pm (QLD time, or 7pm Daylight savings time).

Oh check out the item we have for Auction, you could win yourself a one off fluffy changes bag!

The puzzling product launch has been!

Ok sorry for the delay in this post. But here it is. Starting with the Birthday boy enjoying cake at the restaurant. We had a full on day and finished it at our favourite place to eat: Indian Mehfil In Ipswich.

So here is some thing very new. Key wristlets. They are sturdy and have one key ring on there already, but could easily handle one or two more.

Next we have the bags. The first one is a small fidget toys bag (or can be used to hold toiletries or other times) It is fully lined in cotton fabric as well. The second here is our classic coin purse, lined with a bright coloured fabric.

So all of these items have been sold. With all proceeds going to raise funds for Thomas's therapy items such as fidget toys, bouncing/rolling items, trampoline, and possibly an Ipad down the track if his therapists agree.

So we were very thrilled when these products all sold out. With extra orders. So if you would like any items please let me know and I will be happy to do a custom order for you. Happy days every one!

The puzzling product launch!

Ok so it is time to announce that the new product range will be launched on Monday the 19th of September at 7:45pm.

This is very special range of products is rather puzzling indeed. But when put together makes beautiful sense. It is bright and colourfull and treasured by all. Confused yet?

Only time will tell, but like all my products they are one off creations, even though they share the common theme. They are to raise awareness for Autism and Aspergers. But most importantly help raise fund for Thomas's therapy items and tools. From the little things like chewy toys, to big things like special trampolines and possibly an Ipad (if needed). Each item purchased is to be on the suggestion of his OT and speech Therapists. And funny enough there is all ready a list of items.

So this is what is new. Now the items will be some of our old favourites, to some new and exciting items, that will only be created in this special fabric. So stay tuned to what is coming over the coming months.

Market Sale night

As promised tonight is the market night sale on facebook. Starting at 8pm and running for 24hrs. So why not get in and check out what is on offer. There is a surprise or two in there.

Don't forgett sale nights it is until october. Due to Birthdays in September and the wonders of having a husband who works all Carnival of Flowers weekend (In Toowoomba, QLD) I am unable to clone myself to be the awesome mum and wife and marketere at the same time.

Also there is plans in the pipeline to have a special fundraising line. These will not just be our usual fluffy changes items either, but rest asured they will be made by me and have our lable. So stay tuned to that one as it hits the stores in either late this year or Early next.

So enjoy the preview of the items, and if Mr T is having a good day a few more surprises maybe added later on!
