THE LATEST

First things first, BIG THANKS for all your support, it has been really important to me and to Koalita. Thank you so much!

Now, the latest: Koalita Craft and Koalita Party are under restructuring. Today I have good news and bad news. The bad news, or less good, is that I'm not blogging anymore, at least here, for now and with this format. But Koalita Party Etsy shop as well as the facebook page will receive extra attention.

A newsletter is being created. Probably many of you have already received a copy which resulted as a test that needed some refining. This newsletter will be released monthly via email and promoted also on facebook and twitter. Material to be included: news about new products, discounts, sales, the latest about events organization (hints and tips ) and lots of inspiration. The first publication will come out in late May .

I'm working on many more updates on Koalita's world. I will disclose on Koalita facebook page , twitter and of course on the new newsletter out shortly.

So to keep in touch, please DO keep in touch with us we like to have you around, follow Koalita tweets , Like the facebook page and subscribe the newsletter . I'm also on Pinterest and Instagram feel free to join.

I'm going on holidays now but I will be back on track after the 6th May. Stay tunned! 

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

And the day has arrived! Koalita Party's 3rd anniversary.

In 2011 I launched the first online shop of Koalita Craft. Koalita Craft on Etsy started as a brand for children.  At the beginning of 2013 Koalita Craft became  Koalita Party that is now more than a brand for children. It's a business without age range. New brand, new design, new goals but the same genuine mission: Making life more colourful and happier people.

These last 3 years were full of joy with the birth of my two daughters. Laura in October 2011 and Clara in October 2013. There wasn't much time for business but always replied in the best way possible to custom orders, holiday seasons and reasonable needs.

2014 is definitely the year to start a new cycle. And Koalita Craft blog and Koalita Party shop are on the top of the list. There's a lot to celebrate for what was accomplished but there's much more ahead. New products, brand new party packs and a long way to enter the wedding and events industry for good.

Do I have fears? Doubts? Yes! But I know that I'm not alone, my family, friends, customers, YOU, support and believe in me. I believe in ME and in my DREAMS. And it feels so right when someone contacts KP sharing their dreams and hopes so I can turn them alive. It feels so right when people thanks for promoting their work and effort.

YES! Hopefully I will be here in one year time celebrating again with all of you and more...

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Big thanks to all of you!

Note: There's an awesome anniversary giveaway running here on the blog. Please don't hesitate in entering.

PREPARING FOR CLARA!

Hello there! It has been very difficult to keep on working and meet all the needs that the arrival of a new baby and pregnancy require. With 37 weeks I guess it's time to slow down, don't you think?

Christmas collection is almost ready and everything will be available on the second fortnight of November. Stay tuned with our Facebook page to get all the news in first hand!

Our Etsy and Folksy shops will be closed from 7th October to the middle of November.

If you spot a piece that you would love to have on your holidays season just let me know by contacting through our Facebook page or email. I will make an extra effort to send your order immediately after the shops are opened but before any coming order due to the reopening.

However, Koalita Craft blog will just return next year. So... I'm wishing you all a spooky Halloween, a cosy Christmas and a Happy New Year! I hope I can see you here in 2014! Have yourself a lovely time! :)

WHAT ARE WE HAVING TODAY?

Today should has been a guest post day by Scott. Unfortunately Scott is not able to collaborate with KC anymore. I'm going to miss his tips about photography...

Well, if you are an photographer or a photography addict and would like to share your passion with us, an email for a collaboration with KC's blog would be much appreciated.

In the mean time I'll share with you what has been happening around here. As Laura wasn't having nursery I had to dedicate the most of my hours and energy to her and to the endless appointments I had due to the pregnancy. However, I still managed, don't really know how, to work on some products for Koalita Party and Koalita Gifts, the Christmas is almost here and the Halloween is just around the corner. So I've been spending my little time designing and making these sweeties and a few more are in the oven almost ready to come out! Hope you like it!

HELLO THERE! DID YOU MISS ME?

Yes I know... has been a long time without news around here...

My etsy shops Koalita Craft and Koalita Gifts have taken all my time. I have gone through a phase of adaptation to a new management of my time which hasn't been easy! I guess I would have to close everything for a year to get organized and than re-open with all sorted out. Though that's not possible I managed to have a bunch of good news as well! It isn't all bad and unorganized!

The most important, and the major reason of all this need of organization and planning is that I'm pregnant. Yes, one of my goals for 2013 is on its way :)

Other good news - it's true that this blog needs more love and care - I'm keen to give it more attention and to prove that I made a list of ideas to make it shine more and to give you more reasons to read and to inspire you. However it wont be before June as in the beginning of May I'm on holiday - I need it so badly - when I'm back for business I'll be making all the arrangements needed to get this blog better and useful! So, don't go too far and enjoy your life! I'll be back in a blink of an eye.

ONE BUSY WEEK

This has been my anniversary week. On monday I turned 38th years old - I'm getting old - I had a small tea party with some friends. It was a lovely time with cake, 38 candles and lots of smoke (laughing). Let me share a few moments with you:

After this awesome day, I had to get back to work. More ghosts to stitch, as I had my first sale on folksy - Yay! And another craft fair to prepare.
Yes! After our first experience last weekend we now just want to keep going with craft fairs all around Kent. This one will be in Hoo (Medway, Kent, UK) very near where we live.

We are aiming for your support, as always. Please, pop over even if just to say "hello".

With all these things going on it was impossible to post Tuesday's board inspiration as always. Next week we will return with it. I will be posting some news about Laura's birthday party as well. We have been delivering her invitations already and I want to show them for you. I think they are very cute. :)

I guess it's time to pick up the needles again and get on stitching! After all I'm one year older, I have to behave myself! ;)

And don't forget, the Awesome Autumn Giveaway is still running. It would be a shame if you miss it!

TOMORROW WILL BE, WILL BE...

And this is it! Less than 24 hours to our first craft fair. If I'm excited? Of course I am. I'm over the moon with this opportunity of sharing my work in a real place. I'm super nervous as well but that's a secret ;)

Tomorrow, KC and me are going to have a stall in the CFUK Craft Event and Shopping that's going take place at Christ Church - Bexleyheath - DA6 7BT (Kent, UK), from 11am to 3pm.

To make sure you wont miss it, we are taking this beautiful frames with us. If you want them, you must visit us there!

 More work will be available to purchase. We will be waiting for you.

STUDIO - ON THE AIR!

 Are you wondering: What is happening in KC Studio right now?
Well... lots of work on the table to get ready until tomorrow night.



 Are you thinking: How will they manage to do that with such mess in the room?
That is a good question, without a good answer... Don't worry, we will beat this challenge!

GHOSTS (again)

We all have ours...

The Halloween is approaching. KC is ready! Have a look at our shop and get yourself ready too ;)
