Hi there, it's been a few months singe I last blogged. I've been learning lots about social networking and for this blog post I'm taking a look at Pinterest to hopefully encourage you to explore it too. WARNING ... It's super addictive!!!
As well as talking about being a mum in business, I also like to tell you fresh news and share cool clothing ideas for your children. This blog is going to combine the two!
Pinterest is one of the areas of my business that I've been building over the past few months https://www.pinterest.com/supernaturalcol/. It's great fun and suits me down to the ground because it's so visual and immediate. I've used Pinterest to find loads of great ideas to illustrate this blog, I hope you like it.
Personalising ... EVERYTHING is huge these days. Everyone seems to love wearing their name or initial or age loud and proud on their clothing.
At Supernatural Collections we've introduced lovely personalised organic boy's and girl's T Shirts and baby onesies.
(here's our cat Rocky muscling in on our shoot!)
We embellish our organic baby and kids clothing with letters and numbers from the deliciously quirky and colourful range by Jennie Maizels (she's the one who came up with the wonderful 'Clothes Plasters' - a groovy modern take on the sew-on patches so loved back in the 1970's).
We also offer Keepsake & Gift Boxes which can be personalised by slipping your favourite photo, date of birth/age or name of your baby into the cleverly designed box lid. Here's a little tutorial from me showing you just what I mean.
But if you're feeling creative, here's some really cool DIY ideas for pimping up or personalising your children's and baby clothing which I found after digging around on Pinterest.
I love these gorgeous and super simple to make letters and words from fabulous The Journals of Giddy Giddy.
I found these Custom Sand Imprint flip flops (or thongs as they say in Oz!) made by Flip Side Flip Flops on the Down That Little Lane blog .
Learn how to do felt monograming by Leana of A Small Snippet blog, you can use this technique for letters, numbers shapes, animals - whatever your creative heart desires..
I came across this dress idea by Welcome to The Mouse House blog. It's such a cool idea and one which I know my daughter would love to get her hands on!
From self confessed craftaholic Michelle McInerney of Mollymoo blog, learn how to pimp up your plimsols!
Everyone - girls AND boys - love doing running stitch. See Good Reads at Tots100 UK parent blogs which shows just how easy it is to add their name to anything.
And for those who feel a little more confident and adventurous follow FairyFaceDesigns' tutorial on hand embroidery
This idea from Baby Shower blog just makes me smile. It's so cute and a really cheap but lovely thing to do for a new baby.
Customising your jeans with fabric paint is just one of many very cool ideas from Joybobo.com.
For lots of other supa easy and fun ideas for pimping up and customising your children's clothing take a look at my Pimp Up & Personalise Your Kid's Clothing board on Pinterest.
(Here's one of our T Shirts personalised and packaged in the SuperNatural Gift Box)
Finally, I found this fantastically useful and clear blog about how to get the best out of Pinterest from Aus Mumpreneur - Mumpreneurs across the world Unite!!!
We love looking back, so this week we thought it would be fun to imagine if you got the opportunity to send a message back-in-time to your younger self, what would you say? I wanted to explore this in more depth and share my thoughts and tips with you.
Everyone is looking for that magical tip, tell me what would you would tell your 18 year old self? Reply to this email or leave your comments below - I read them all.
Me at 16 (going on 18!) and ready to take on the world.

I've just been looking at the analytics for the site - it's fascinating to see what a huge reach the site has, no doubt as a result of the twitter and facebook postings we've been doing about our organic baby and children's clothing and loads of things related. I'm going to post now about our Free Delivery service, we'll see how many people are attracted to that offer - this is fun!!!!
Thanks!
