When you run a business from home it becomes a great sounding board, a place to make contact, source information and generally make friends and acquaintances!<br />I have been lucky enough lately to be found by a lovely lady who has created a wonderful site, full of information to enjoy anytime, grab a cuppa sit and indulge. I especially love her entry dated 22 Oct 2009 regarding self-esteem. I am sure that it will resonate with you too! Please check it out! Phillipa also creates her own range of ladies t’s…<br /><br /><a href="http://www.everydaywoman.com.au/">http://www.everydaywoman.com.au/</a><br /><br />She has also been kind enough to feature ella &amp; jaks!<br /><br />We are lucky ladies…<br />xx<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9105412328949399391-4577438113431917995?l=ellaandjaks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ella &amp; jakshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08969373325920808058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105412328949399391.post-356660100195106962009-10-18T19:19:00.000-07:002010-01-30T19:35:00.362-08:00<a href="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ellajaks_fallenleaves-150x113.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 113px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ellajaks_fallenleaves-150x113.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ellajaks_fallenleaves_01-150x89.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 89px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ellajaks_fallenleaves_01-150x89.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div></div><div> </div><div>As it is with any trade, craft or otherwise, you never end up doing anything for yourself… I always start a bag with the intention of using it myself and then when it’s finished, I think ‘no, someone else will love that’ and there it goes…</div><div><br />But this time my current bag was getting a little too large for me, needed to downsize and get something fresh, so this is what I came up with, and so far I must say it’s working for me!<br />If you would love a new little number, then let me know…</div><div><br />xx<a href="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ellajaks_fallenleaves_01-150x89.jpg"></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9105412328949399391-35666010019510696?l=ellaandjaks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ella &amp; jakshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08969373325920808058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105412328949399391.post-35391528833268791492009-10-13T19:17:00.000-07:002010-01-30T19:35:28.885-08:00<a href="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ellajaks_anja-150x126.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 126px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ellajaks_anja-150x126.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ellajaks_anja_01-150x116.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 116px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ellajaks_anja_01-150x116.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div>I had the chance the other day to catch up with some friends of ours that we hadn’t seen in ages; in fact worked out that it had been 2 odd years!

Then you have kids and that goes totally out the window. Not for the life of me can I plan with any certainty how my day will go. Take last week for example, one has a head knock, then contracts gastro. She then passes it onto her younger brother, who not only has it for longer than he should, he kindly passes it onto me! So whilst I still feel like I am in the thick of it I have managed to take some piks of the two new bags completed before all of this occurred!<br /><br /><br />ella &amp; jaks Tangerine Tango and ella &amp; jaks Round in Circles (which is just how I have been feeling…LOL)<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/ellajaks_tangerinetango-150x118.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 118px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/ellajaks_tangerinetango-150x118.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/ellajaks_roundincircles-150x127.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 127px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/ellajaks_roundincircles-150x127.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />In the meantime I have been tinkering more with my crochet hook… tis the season!<br /><br />Sandy<br />x<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9105412328949399391-8734110164983689728?l=ellaandjaks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ella &amp; jakshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08969373325920808058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105412328949399391.post-73000115295495175182009-05-03T19:08:00.000-07:002010-01-30T19:37:29.188-08:00Oooh, here comes the cooler weather and of course that brings the cooler colours and textures of winter.<br /><br />These are the two new bags, a tote and a handbag, just launched on my website; ella &amp; jaks Peacock Blue and ella &amp; jaks Kylie.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ellajaks_peacockblue-150x129.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 129px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ellajaks_peacockblue-150x129.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ellajaks_kylie-150x137.jpg"></a> <a href="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ellajaks_kylie-150x137.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 137px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ellajaks_kylie-150x137.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ellajaks_peacockblue-150x129.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><div></div><div><a href="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ellajaks_kylie-150x137.jpg"></a></div><div>But as usual at this time of year I get the knitting bug and then end up having three or four knitting projects on the go, whilst still finding time for designing and sewing!</div><div><br />Here is one of the projects completed for my little nephew, just turned three, living in Tasmania!<br /></div><a href="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/joderick-hat-150x112.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 112px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.ellaandjaks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/joderick-hat-150x112.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>So, now every night I can be found clicking the needles whilst watching TV, much to my husbands amusement!

LOL! And it’s been some time since I have had the inclination to lift the knitting needles but the plight of the recent bush fires is surely awful. It was then at Tara Dennis’ encouragement I grabbed out my size 4 needles, scrounged around for some long forgotten balls of wool and proceeded to knit away. It was the least I could do…<br /><br />So if you find yourself at a loose end in the coming days, consider picking up the sticks and gartering for a good cause.
