Goodbye 2011 - Hello 2012~

It has been a couple of months since I blogged and boy has it been a busy couple of months.  I have sewn SO many books, and have also started making a few other goodies like Table Runners, cushions and as of yesterday clutch purses!

Patchwork Notebooks

Australian Women's Health Diaries 

Notebooks w/tabs

Clutch Purse (this one was made from a Nicole Mallalieu Design Kit).

A similar design only smaller will be available to purchase at LYY soon.

Table Runners - This one was a Birds of Norway (Patchwork design)

for my Dad for Christmas.

And of course, matching cushions!!

I have been pleasantly surprised with how busy January has started off this year.  I am still being kept extremely busy with book orders and have most of February booked out with customs.  Along with that I have also been searching the handmade world for new goodies to bring you.  If you would like to see what is coming stay tuned to future blog posts.

Exciting times....

There was much excitement in the house of Little Yon Yon last week when Kathy Sheeran from Shopping Confessions  rung and said she would like to include Little Yon Yon in her weekly article in the ShopSmart Magazine inside the Sunday Telegraph! Ekkkkkkkkkkkk......After a few tears from absolute amazement, I rung her back and said Yes (of course)!  Well sure enough, there I was in this weeks Sunday Telegraph.  Moments like these make me sooo proud of my little business and make me realise that I am probably achieving move then what I realise.  I would love to thank Kathy for thinking of my little business as her article has had a very positive response so far with many people taking advantage of the Shop Smart discount :)

Australian Women's Health Diary

I sell many things, and what you may not all know is that I don't make them.  I carefully select all the items I sell and stock nothing that I wouldn't buy personally. Out of all the things I do sell, the Fabric Covered Notebooks, Diaries, Business Card Holders, Passport Covers etc I can take credit for.  Last year, I added the Australian Women's Health Diary to my list of things that I cover and the response was fantastic.  For those of you who don't know, the Australian Women's Health Diary is available each year and supplies you with the latest health and wellbeing information for women. All proceeds from the sale of this Diary, when I purchase them from the newsagent, go to Breast Cancer research. Which is fantastic!   Here is one I covered today. I am a bit proud of this one, as it is my first proper attempt at a tab closure (that was for an actual order).
