New Stores at Oz Handmade

We have two new stores who have opened up at Oz Handmade!



TBcards is the home of Australian made and printed Greeting cards with handmade gifts.  What gifts you ask...well I personally make hand knitted baby sleeping sack cocoons, hand knitted cotton / bamboo dishcloths and facewashers, I on occasion make knitted pot holders, mummy+me matching aprons and various other gifts to keep variety.

The face behind the store is me Tracey Beaumont a Work at Home Mum with two young boys Lachlan (or better known as Igloo) and Maxen (or better known as Nanuq).  They are the greatest, and although business takes up a lot of my time my two boys always come first.  Maxen was my inspiration to make the Baby Cocoon and he often sits in his wrap making sure the cocoons here at TBcards are made to perfection.

How did I get into all this?
Well I think it all started many generations before me my family were involved in the circus (the picture below is my great grandmother and her family), and although that does sound like a lot of fun, photography and design are a lot more practical.

I have loved photography since a child, when my mum gave me an old camera of hers. I still have many of those pictures. I would have taken many more photos had my pocket money allowed more developing. Over the years I have practiced and perfected my skills. Although like anything else, I still have plenty more to learn.

I fall in love with so many of my photographs, and so I decided I should share them with you, for your enjoyment and for you to share with your friends and family.

I do my best to keep my cards at an affordable price without compromising on quality. I take pride in my work, and will always ensure to provide the highest quality products possible.

Funky-Buddha Bibs, makers of the bandana bib in Sydney, NSW, Australia. We are a small company specialising in making high quality bandana bibs for dribbly babies and toddlers. The bibs are also suitable for children with special needs. All designs are bought and made in small quantities rather than mass produced. We source the funkiest fabrics that are 100% cotton for a soft, breathable and easy to wash finish. All bibs are backed with cotton towelling for extra absorbency. Alternatively we can produce custom made bibs to your choice of fabric. All bibs are packaged in a simple white organza bag, making it the perfect gift for family and friends.

Under New Management

It is with great sadness that Michelle has decided to step down from Oz Handmade, Michelle has done such an amazing job getting Oz up and running and successful in such a short time frame, and I am honoured that she has entrusted me with the running of Oz.

For those who don't know me, my name is Gem, I'm a SAHM, I have a beautiful 2.5 year old son, Noah and a gorgeous and supportive partner, Mick.

I love all things craft and hope one day (in the not too distant future) to earn a living from doing what I love and that's CRAFT!

I currently own and run a craft blog - i heart craft and craft forum, i heart craft forum (can you tell I *heart* craft ;) )

I look forward to getting to know you all and continuing the success that Michelle has already achieved with Oz Handmade.
