Silly of me I know....

It is silly of me I know to keep putting up posts when no one reads them. I guess I am a compulsive talker and need an outlet... anyways, one day someone might say hello... and hopefully when my new site is up and running I will more traffic through and someone out there might be interested in what I have to say...lol... You gotta have dreams...
Cheers Sas.

Taking the plunge!

I have taken the plunge, I have got myself a domain name and a website, all in the processing mode at the moment, should be ready for use in a few days... Web address is: www.saselvenaussiehandmade.com (won't work just yet) I am quitely excited about the venture, hoping I am doing the right thing. What do they say, 'nothing ventured, nothing gained'...

At the moment, I am thinking that the site will only be for my childrens lines, clothes and hair accessories, handbags, softies and a few essentials, with a small section for boys. Sizes at the moment start at size 1 - 4, will add larger sizes as I go along. Here is a sneak peek at some of the hairclips I will be selling on my new site only.


These are the non-slip variety for babies who have really fine hair.


Let me know what you think, always up for critisism, good or bad... Feedback is the only way I am going to know if I am doing it right or not, and receive more ideas. Must admit, photography is an art form that I am not the best at, but I do try hard...lol...

Anyways, it is past midnight again, so I better head off to bed. Sweet dreams and I will catch you again soon.
Cheers Sas.

Market Group up and Running!

Good morning all, well I did it. I started the market group page on facebook and to date I have 49 members. I have a couple regular posters the others are side line sitters, which is fine, as long as I get the word out there to start using your local markets. If you want to have a look it is: Charters Towers Markets Info and Chat. The site has been quite useful so far for pre-ordering cooking and asking what is for sale. We need more stall holders at two of the markets, but all three would be benificial to all. Have been thinking to stir the pot a bit and get people looking into their cupboards for those treasures that have outgrown their use... bundle them up, grab and stall and make some pocket money....

My childrens clothes have been moving along which is great, and if I want to be truly honest, it wouldn't be too good if I sold them all out in one market, cause I can't quite sew quick enough to replenish stocks. I am going to stick to a handful of designs only and add embellishments for variety. I have not made any boys clothes to day, only because they take more time to make. I will have to get my head around this and start, because I have been asked alreay, do you make boys clothes... The biggest news here is, I have a Fantabulous artist who is at this very moment drawing my new tags for the clothing, think I may have to add a fee just for the original tags. And they will be, all original drawings, no photocopies or prints. I am so excited to get my first batch, Thank You Karen from Sugarbird.

Foolishly or not, I have also added to my stock with my one size fits all
Coffee Cup Cozies: $12ea.



Fabric Trays in a smaller (10in) size: $10ea. 


Trays lay flat for storage, and snap together at corners when you
are ready to use them. They are fully washable!



Pencil Rolls for Boys and Girls: $15ea.


Holds 19 pencils, but comes with 12 different colours.


And last, but in no way least, a Super Nappy Bag / Tote.
With six internal pockets and two outside, this is a great bag,
and a fantabulous price at: $45.99ea.



I have also been dabbling in headbands, hair clips and hair ties, with the odd brooch for my dresses. I reckon here at Saselven I am too creative for my own good..lol.. Always wanting to do something new instead of building up what I have. That is the naughty side of me I am afraid:))

Now that you have found my weekness I will sign off and get back to an order I have to have finished by Sundays market. Take Care, and Stay Safe.
Cheers Sas.
