.... ahhh! The year is nearly over!

... and I'd love to extend a ginormous 'thank-you' to all the wonderful people who have supported Tigernaut Jeans since we opened at the beginning of September. Its been an absolute blast - I'm very lucky to be surrounded by such a lovely bunch of people! :D

A huge thank you in particular to the Charity Auction's winning bidder, SusanKP, who helped us raise a whopping $197 for Movember - thank you again for your generous support. Thanks to all of those who bid to help us support such a great cause.

Since finishing the last stocking and the Christmas pre-orders, I've been sewing up a storm for my two little men for summer - I now have a huge pile of shorts and summer PJs! These are my favs - some PJ Pants for the T-Man (who is now a big 2 years old!)


(How could you not feel happy wearing those!)

I've also managed to squeeze out some Christmas gifts for some gorgeous baby girls who have arrived this year. Two teeny Reversible Pinafores, using Bettsy Kingston's pattern - nice and simple (just what my fried brain needs this time of year!)









Pffft! My computer is up to its normal hijinx, and has decided the last photo looks better on its side! (You get the idea though!)

I would love to wish everybody a fantastic festive season and happy New Year - I hope everyone gets a chance to have a bit of much deserved R & R.

PS: I've also started up a brand new Facebook page - you can check it out here!

New stock and a very special Charity Auction

We have some new stock up in store, as well as a fantastic Charity Auction! This month I am very excited to be joined by Lesley Fletcher of Cherub’s Kiss, who has donated an Auriel featuring Alexander Henry’s Retro Pop print ‘Traffic Jam’, to raise funds for Movember. Also included in the Auction is a size 1 Tigernaut Jeans Shorts set.

Help us support those Aussie blokes who have been growing their mo’s into weird and wonderful shapes to raise awareness for men’s health (specifically prostate cancer and depression). Its an awesome cause – please dig deep in the final week of this fundraiser.

You can see the auction here, and get the low-down on Movember on the link below.

We have a winner! :)

Congrats to the winner of our little comp - Sarah. P - I will email you shortly for your address, so I can send out your prize! (Pictured above)

The fabric cuts featured in the competition were sent to be tie dyed by Miranda at Funky Tie-Dye, then turned into pockets for our stocking next week! The shorts will come with matching tie-dyed t-shirts - so cute, and very funky! I was totally blown away by the colours when I opened the package! Thanks Miranda :)

I have taken a pic - however it absolutely refuses to co-operate! If anyone knows how to rotate photos on Blogger, please let me know! *Blush*

Pocket power!

I thought I'd take a pic of the pockets I've been making over the last couple of days. I'm slowly adjusting to ironing in 35 degree heat!

I've spent today sewing half of them onto shorts for our next stocking in roughly 2 weeks! I hope to have around 12 outfits ready, as well as 1 outfit for a very exciting charity auction!

Thanks for all the entries in the competition so far - keep them coming!

Just for fun ... a little competition!

Hmmm ... what could these be?


I have a 3-pack of fluffy red sherpa wipes to give away! (They're a remnant, and the fluffiest sherpa I've ever seen!) Let me know in as much detail as possible, what the items in the above photo will look like once they're finished. Please email your answers to me at tigernautjeans (at) gmail (dot) com.

The competition will be open until midnight Monday 16th November '09, and I will draw it the following day. If a number of people have guessed it correctly, I'll put those names in a random generator to draw the competition. I'll notify the winner via email, as well as publishing it here. Good luck!

Oh! And one last thing! In an effort to clear remaining stock before our next stocking in a couple of weeks, I have discounted everything remaining in store to 15% off until midnight Saturday 7th November. Happy shopping!

Customs

Just a couple of customs I've finished up today :)

This set is ready for a swap with an awesome WAHM :) The pockets and cuffs feature Alexander Henry's Canyon Flutter Pink - a gorgeous new fabric that almost looks like it has been hand painted in parts.

And these are for a little man on his way up! The pockets feature (of course!) Echino Scooters Aqua.

Rain!

We've been hearing news in Melbourne of rain in other parts of the country (particularly Tassie), and now we're seeing some of our own. After so many years of drought, its blissful to hear rain on the roof again - lets hope there's lots more to come. This is a photo of the gorgeous Cherry Plum tree in our backyard.

The kids and I are slowly adjusting to rainy days inside - something I've rarely encountered in my (almost) four years of being a parent. Off to the library for a stack of new books today!
