Saturday....

Amazing things have happened in the kitchen this week

  1. We have internet, wireless routed, faser than Catholic sinner to confession on a sunday snap snap snappy internet! And i am completely enamoured!
  2. Our friends over at Lost Cabin Vintage did a little piece on us for their new  Meet the Maker feature, not only did the make our stock look 'AMAZEBALLS' but you get to know a bit more about su and how we tick
  3. Milli and i painted, oh did we paint, we painted the sofa, the balcony, the table and chairs... and once miss was done, i cleaned it all off with a nice blue chucks rag... ahhh i love water soluable poster paint!
  4. I managed to keep a secret... yes me! Motor Mouth/Madi Foot in Mouth/Sh who cant keep a secret... it's impressive to all those who know me well.
We have been busy little critters here in the kitchen, we posted Monkey goodness far and wide and had a great giveaway where one of our facebook followers won a special little monkey they can call their own!

Most importantly though, we added a new Monkey to the kitchen... Stay tuned to find out more about her....

Serious Blog Neglect!

Ok, so one of my new years resolutions was to pay more attention to our blog.... that has worked out not so well... but now we finally have internet set up in the house (after almost 3 years of not having it at home) i deciedeit's probably a good idea to start getting my butt into gear! Especially seeing that i have lots of lovely friends here in blog land.

A quick M in the K update... We had our first market on Sunday, It came with such anticipation and excitement. The night before up until 11:30am finishing what we could, the following morning waking up at 6am to get there in time for set up. And then the first hour sitting there nervously waiting for someone to validate all our hard work by purchasing one of our creations... I can honestly say i took the day as it came, i was a little disappointed, yet relieved that people loved our stuff. I think it will just take a while for us to really get our name out there. Luckily enough we have some great M in the K followers who support us, and create some great hype!

Here's some piccies from the weekend

Gorgeous Ruffles

Twas the night before the Sunny Coast Baby and Kids Market, And all Monkeys we're slaving... even the boy ones!




Our Market Stall at the Sunny Coast Kids and Baby Market


Monkeys ready for new homes
 Let's just say the aftermath is not a pretty one... i have so much cleaning up to do, and no desire to do it.

The 'sewing room' hahaha


So that's been the excitement in a nutshell.. i'm off t vacumm the house for the 2nd time this week, note to self, milli is not to eat cheese sticks out of the high chair!

Hi Monkey land!

So, i'm at my mumma's place (after a quick shop at spotlight to get some christmas inspired fabric) and she says to me "you have to check out this guy on Etsy... his name is Astronuts" I've just lost my mind on this guy! He is one of a kind AMAZING!

Just thought he was worth the share!

Dear Blog!

Dear Blog,

I'm sorry - for the neglect. You deserve better. Feel free to leave us if you wish but I endeavor to treat you better going forward. Am I forgiven? I've just been so busy with your friend Janome.

....hehehehehe

On a serious note. Update coming very soon! Because we'd love to introduce you all to some very dear friends of ours... Or at least some other clever and crafty mummas!

Xoxo

Lots has Changed! - And we love change!

Good Morning!

Monkeys in the Kitchen has staged a not-so-hostile takeover of "Little Darling". So the Kitchen Welcomes Monkey #2 Alexandra!  So that makes us Monkeys three - Madi, Alex and the delighful Miss Milli (who is more of a muse than a sewer at 14 months).

We've admitedly neglected our Blog - instagram and facebook just seem to be a much more convenient form of communication these days. But going forward i promise to pay more attention to you dear Blog.

This week the kitchen has been abuzz with activity, preparing for the Augathella hospital Fete next weekend. Auga-where?!?! you may be asking?

Augathella - Population 500 (approx), a beautiful little town about 10 hours west of the not so sunny Sunshine Coast and about 1 hours North of Charleville. Home to the lovely Monkey #2's inlaws.


We're very excited about this little adventure and we're sure the monkeys and all our other goodies will find some great homes out there.

So what have we been working on lately? Well, Monkey #1 and #3 have been busy getting inspired;



We're a bit in love with anything Nautical - our newset addition to the range is "Shine a "Little Lighthouse Light on Me"




I Want Candy - Pirate Baby, Candy Skull inspired Tank

And Monkey #2 has been Frilled under! Take a look at these cuties!

Mummy's Garden Party Ruffled Bloomer

Peacock Dreams and Shining Over Tokyo Nappy Covers


Lots more to come so stay tuned or join us at Monkeys in the Kitchen on facebook
Until next time,

Monkeys Three! xoxo
