New Things Happening..

Hi,

Sorry for not posting lately. Have had a million ideas swirling in my head and now finally have unscrambled everything!

After having a big think about the way Cot Couture is heading, I have decided to change things up a bit. I love being able to provide a hand-made, custom made service - however time is now a major factor in this, and custom made takes many hours from start to finish. I never set out to make Cot Couture become a massive mass produced product, nor did I just want it to be a hobby, so I have come up with the best thing that satisfies all of my desires!

From January 2011 we are starting a fresh. We have a new website underway, new ideas, new inspirations and we are focusing on 8 - 10 complete nursery looks.

Everything is still being handmade in Adelaide. All of our bedding will continue to be exactly the way it is - pre-washed, handmade and hand packaged, but the custom made service will no longer be available. Instead I think it will be easier to decide! I have hand picked some gorgeous new fabrics - including my very own design whimsy Meadow, and we will offer accessories and decor to co-ordinate with each design that you will be able to purchase from the Cot Couture website.

It will be simple to create you couture nursery. You will be able to shop online with our new check-out system, everything will be in stock and pre-made and ready to ship. Very easy!

We will contimue custom made to the middle of December, and then after the Christmas break and new year, will launch our new website. Stay tuned!

Anyhoo...

I just wanted to share a photo. I am not a good gardener at all, but I have always wanted roses. So I planted some last year. Vintage colours that my Nan and grandma used to grow and love. My beautiful roses are coming out at the moment, and I just couldn't go past this beautiful rose. Thinking of you Nan xxx

Having a break

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am taking my annual leave for 3 weeks and Cot Couture will be having a break until the end of September. Just need to have some time with the family, before it gets a bit crazy with expos in October. So apologies for any inconvenience, but we will be back with a cool new website and new happenings in october.

Thanks :)

PS - Check out Little One Style and Design Annual magazine this month - just gorgeous!

Hello

Loving this new blog design - how cute is it :) Thanks blogger for letting us choose such cool backgrounds.

Just wanted to share my favourite design for the week - Peppermint Birdies.

I really love this fabric and it is so clean, crisp and modern and perfect for a unisex nursery. I love the fact that you can add lots of different colours to a room with this design as it is so neutral. Team it with the Peppermint Crisp Stripe (makes me hungry!) for a gorgoeus look.

Hopefully next post I will be able to share my newly designed fabric....stay tuned...

My coming soon page is up! Very exciting....

Have received my strike offs - but need a little colour change, so just waiting for them to come to me again. Should be able to give you a little sample of the first 2 designs soon!

Getting ready for the Baby and Toddler Show in October. Although it is a while away it is my favourite show to do all year so I like to get organised early! We are doing a huge nursery display with Touchwood Cots again, so always happy to be working with them.

Thanks to all the lovely people who came and visited our stall at Mathilda's market last Sat. It was a lovely intimate market and so many beautiful products. Would love to do it again soon.

By the way have to say I saw the best movie of the year last week at midnight and again last night - Twilight Eclipse - it was absolutely amazing. If you haven't read the books, or seen the movies you are definately missing out! I am such a huge fan and I smiled through the whole movie I was so content. Kristen Stewart is amazing and I love her as Bella - she captures her so beautifully. Go and catch it while you can. Think I may make a quilt in a tribute to Stephenie Meyer - hmmmm.... he he

Talk soon,

jessica blown design coming soon!!

Hi,

I am very excited, have sent off my first round of fabric designs off to the printers and awaiting my strike off! Can't wait to see the designs on fabric.

I have started my own little line of fabrics under jessica blown design. I am launching a website soon for my fabrics and they will be available for wholesale and retail sale. Only starting with 2 designs but they will be children's designs and unisex so everyone can use them.

Cot Couture will also have them in the fabric design range so they will be available to be made in comforters, cushions and quilt covers too.

Here is my logo :)

Can't wait to show you what they look like....stay tuned..

New Touchwood Beds

As you know I have been working with Touchwood at the Expos and they are an amazing brand and I love their products. Well my single beds arrived last week and it was like Xmas Day for me!

We have had a busy afternoon getting rid of the old furniture and putting in the new. My piccies aren't the best but you get the idea!

I love redecorating! Still got a few more bits and pieces to go till the room is done - but am loving it at the minute.

Before-

After :)
