Our Christmas Day

Wednesday, December 30, 2009





Christmas is for kids but I do love it too. This year I had decided no cheap and nasty presents that end up in the landfill quicker than the blink of an eye, so I made superhero capes for the two little ones plus this canvas Tipi (teepee) which I labored hours over sewing, putting in rivets and painting Pohutukawa flowers on..it..thankfully it got the thumbs up and has even come away with us to the lake....so what do you think Tiki Tipi's?? Maybe!..hahaha I would only have to charge about $5000 for them!
My big boy was somewhat more financially rewarded for a very hard years work at school with a laptop from all of us. This is hopefully a good nudge towards good grades for high school this year:)
Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and have a brilliant New Year. we are away until the 11th Jan but back with some great new designs and HOPEFULLY our new website.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! x

Ormlie Lodge Design Market

Monday, November 30, 2009



Hot Hot Hot...We had such a lovely day at the design market yesterday but boy was it HOT!!! Held in picture perfect gardens of a local historic lodge the first design market was a huge success. There was a fantastic array of gorgeous Hawkes Bay design on show from divine cushions to original art, beautiful clothes and jewelery..amazing local talent!
It was really lovely to show our work to local people, some had seen us online but didn't realise we are local and some just had no idea we existed! We had an awesome response to our decals..a lot thought they were painted on the display and couldn't believe it when I pulled them off. A small group of children amused themselves for nearly and hour with the space odyssey which as fantastic and what it is all about..can't get a better test of the product than that!
We met some really cool people and made lots of contacts and thanks to my Babybaby sunblock not even a smidgen of sunburn!

Some guys are so romantic!!

Wednesday, November 25, 2009



Last week I sent out a lovely rose to the Netherlands, when I contacted the customer to say I was about to post I asked how they found us. He (I assumed they were female) replied that he had googled rose wall decals because his partner is expecting their first child and he wanted to surprise her!!! Isn't that so sweet! He also said our decals were the most beautiful he found. Wow..umm just trying to picture good kiwi blokes doing this....:)

Crazy busy at Stickytiki HQ

Wednesday, November 18, 2009

Wow how slack have I been! I have tried for the last week to get here to write something but something else always comes up..fingers crossed this will get done. So many things happening...to begin with my beautiful step daughter Kyla and her divine little man Jayden have come over from Perth to stay with us for a month..yay, we are loving it especially the kids who follow Jayden around everywhere as you can see! Kyla and my eldest Zav are brother and sister so Zav is an uncle at the age of 13. I met their Dad when she was 4 so we have been part of each others life for a very long time. I am Mum, friend, and clothes provider all rolled into one. It is so funny how she knows my little quirks and pulls me up on them all the time. Jayden is the most beautiful child, I feel to young to be a grandmother but Kyla keeps calling me 'nannie Kim' too wind me up so I guess that will stick:) Definitely expect to see Jayden in some of our new Stickytiki shots.

Check out my little girl in her sling...she has a dislocated elbow and fractured wrist from a trampoline accident involving the neighbors children who had been asked not to jump on it when she was on there..umm say no more! She is fine and adjusting to life with the use of one arm..we get it rechecked on Friday.

Stickytiki has been chaotic too, with lots of orders, the prominent at the mo being Nikau's. We (well Si) are also rebuilding our website which is nearly finished..I cant wait, it is clean and contemporary and shows off our images to perfection.
We have had some lovely feedback lately and really appreciate you taking the time to tell us.
Oh and my sisters baby skin (her nappy rash cream) product just won a prestigious award, I of course am not surprised because it is an amazing product..and that is unbiased!
Well I did it PHEW!! Back to work.

They had such a ball and are now hounding constantly to go back to the beach, fortunately we live across the road from a swimming beach.
Today as I hold my children close to me our hearts go out to the family of little Aisling Symes who went missing a week ago and who's little body was found last night.
Kia Kaha we hope you find strength.

Miss 2 helping Daddy with his work

Little Miss 2 has been unwell this week so has been staying at home, not going to daycare. She spent two days in her PJ's and was more than happy to greet customers dressed like this. One cool guy who came to talk to us about a job bought his daughter and the two girls played happily..the tiny visitor totally unfazed that Miss 2 was not dressed. I love that the kids are so part of our work that it is so normal for one of them to perch on our knee or grab a paint brush to help out.

This is it last chance to name our brand spanking new wall decals below..you could win so hop to it...Good luck!!!

Our Tsunami Scare Today...

Wednesday, September 30, 2009

Well although it amounted to nothing on our shores the heart did race a little. Its a strange feeling to be warned of impending disaster..and to get almost an exact time to which to expect this...which in our case in Napier was to be 10.40.
We live right by the sea so when we heard about the awful quake in Samoa, the kids were on their way to daycare so of course that was put off. My eldest was sleeping so I left him until about 9.30 (yes he is nearly a teenager) then went to wake him. The horror when I told him to get dressed as there had been a Tsunami warning and we had to get to higher ground was almost funny. He loves drama so was immediately on the pulse ..the news was on, his bag was packed, he was worrying about everything, on the phone to his mates who were begging us to go up there (they live on Napier hill), a million questions thrown in my direction, and the excitement only a 12 yr old boy can have..as we know they love destruction in every way, shape and form!! So you can imagine his almost disappointment when after realising we didn't have to go anywhere and to top it off when we made our way upstairs to watch the sea from our small view, there was nothing to see..except the road barriers that had gone up and the crazy fools that were walking down to the beach to get a closer view..yes really, one was my neigbour!!
Daycare re-opened off the kids went, we got on with our work and the day went on pretty much as normal..but it was a good little test to see how you would react and what you would take..my first thought was the kids, dog, computer (isn't that sad??!!), camera, photos..one of my biggest worries was about our stickytiki machinery..really expensive and really heavy, it would have to stay!!
On a different note, dont forget our comp below..ends Friday.

Update on our comp

Tuesday, September 29, 2009

Hi all, thank you everyone for entering our competition below to name our latest design. We have had some awesome names and honestly I could have almost all of them. To be fair we will narrow them down then put it to public vote somehow?? (any advice on that would be great). Because I am impatient and want to get them listed I have decided to end the comp on Fri the 2nd instead of the 8th, this will just allow the extra time to narrow down our fav's. We really appreciate the time you have all taken to give this some thought..but remember if you have anymore bright ideas you have until Friday!!

Friday, September 25, 2009

Please please help us name this newest hand painted Stickytiki wall mural!! These divine (if I must say so myself:) wall stickers are hot off the press, and Si and I couldn't agree on a name. He wants the name to be short and sweet..as in not too long.

And here we are. 1.The deal is..follow our blog if you like, we of course would love you to..then you get to hear about these great giveaways! 2.Leave a comment with your name choice for our mural. 3.Leave your contact email or make sure you keep checking back to see who the winner is. With your email address (make sure the @ and . are written as (at) (dot) so as those horrid spammy folk don't get you. 3. Tell all your friends to enter..that way they might decide to give it to you as a gift! ;) 4. We will close the comp on the 2nd Oct. If there are lots of names we like we will have a public vote to via some of our favourite forums. 5. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

A testing two days

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

Ok I am down from my high of the last week! Yes we did have a good week..but like any other small business in these times we have our struggles..I am just glad that NZ is supposedly out of the recession..the only problem here is our $ has risen and as we sell mostly offshore so this adds new challenges. When I talk on this blog about features,and good stuff..it is me wanting to show only the positive..My partner has suggested this may seem like showing off:( I really hope it doesn't seem that way. We are a business that started at the beginning of a worldwide recession and are still surviving. Sometimes I feel like I need a pat on the back..lol even if it is me doing it:)
So please dont think all is just sun and, roses believe me we have had trying times and that is normally when I dont write anything.
To put everything into perspective I have just heard of a dear little girl Shanade who is dying of an inoperable tumor, and her dream is to go on a trip to Auckland and see all the attractions..bless her.
You can read more about her and the charity auctions being held to raise money to help her get her dream. Stickytiki is humbled to help her in our small way.

My little man ready for his first school visit

Tuesday, September 15, 2009



Mr Ja Ja has a certain style all of his own..he already has a cult like following of a small girls at daycare, whose parents fret because their daughters are even dreaming about him and want their brothers to grow their hair like Jasper's!!
So for his first school visit and bad mummy hadn't given him a haircut he said 'that is ok mum I will wear my headband'...bless!!! So off he went looking Rambo-ish with bits of red paint in his hair. Within 5 mins of being there meeting the teacher and finding a group of mates he knew from daycare..he told me to go :( So I skulked away and held back the tears while other parents were being clung onto with vice like grips.
No seriously I am very happy my little man has this kind of confidence..and he often does still need his mum!

Etsy is going off!!

Saturday, September 12, 2009



We decided for the first time to do a weekend free postage on etsy and the Dear deer got picked first up for the storque..which has driven huge amounts of traffic to our shop..woohoo. I have had inquires from all over the world about stocking stickytiki, so now just have to answer everyone. I couldn't sleep last night as I had two little snoring bodies tucked in next to me, so I have been up since 4.30am, when I checked etsy I couldn't believe how many people had been there. So again etsy..thanks heaps for picking us and making all these awesome people all over the world aware that we exist!! x

I am a very proud Mum...

Thursday, September 3, 2009

Tonight I had my parent teacher interview for my big boy Zav. He had to give a presentation to me and his teacher about what he has achieved and where he could do better. I am so proud he spoke really really well...was confident and clear without any hesitation about where he thinks he is at. Zav had been in Australia at his Dads house last interview time, so I was a little nervous...not because I don't think he is doing ok, just because he is a very very social boy and I was a little worried that this could take priority in his life. He is 12 so this would be fully understandable:) Anyway his teacher only had positive things to say about his attitude and his learning, she is also such a cool lady who I am sure the kids love and has a lot to do with why they are doing so well. I am so wrapped with him and so PROUD!!!!!


Zav on the left with his cousin Kalani who has just gone back to the States.

Also today while I had a spare 5 mins (lol)..I googled us, as you do..come on I know we all do it!! And I found a cool little write up about Stickytiki in The daily green. Go and have a look, they even call Si a computer geek..hehehehe.

'The lovely Rose' Cross

Saturday, August 22, 2009



I haven't posted for a few days ..have been busy doing new designs, taking product shots, being Mum....etc, etc. There really are not enough hours during the day.
I am loving this shot of Kahlo with the lovely rose as a cross..see there are so many ways you can put this together!!
Mr Ja Ja had a sleep over last night at my cousins (he has a boy the same age). Jasper was so excited..but the strong silent type (as they call him at daycare), showed his excitement only by saying in his little deep voice..'I am so excited Mum'!!! Lol, my cousins boy bounces off the walls so a good combination I think!. Last night after the movies (inglorious bastards..great) I went in to check on the other two, and little Miss was tucked up in bed with big bro, both snoring away!! She had obviously woken and Mr 12 got up to her..he is such a good brother!
i am catching up with some HB etsy sellers tomorrow for coffee..looking forward to that!..Ok cleaning calls AAARRRGGH!!
Have a great weekend.

The Lovely Rose.......

Saturday, August 15, 2009






This is our latest design available first at TRIFLE.
We did this in response to the trifle slogan 'layers of lovely'.... the image came into my head of roses floaty fabric, blue birds..which I had a fascination with as a child (it was a 70s thing I think). I have this lovely cream ceramic cat that I decided to bring to life..she is now pale yellow with a pink and white lacy scarf and a set of wings so as she can take flight at anytime! There are so many ways this lovely rose can be put together...I also imagine the ribbons and blues birds above a bed...this is what is so great about our wall stickers is you can arranges them so many ways.

Look at my beautiful models..Rachael (my niece) is the tall willowy teenager, and the two gorgeous ballerinas are Denby Rose, and Brenna..I must say if you had seen these two modeling the photos show off there personalities perfectly! Thank you lovely girls!!

Imagine having to leave your Children.....

Thursday, August 13, 2009


Kahlo, Zavia and Jasper

I have just been reading about the most amazing woman Cate Bolt and her decisions to change her life, give up all her security to help children in Indonesia. This is something she asks us to imagine......

Imagine taking your child into a crowded street at dusk, walking away from them and never going back. Imagine the fear in that child when they realise you’re gone. Imagine them wandering scared and hungry through the streets…imagine their life now, day after day.

I couldn't think of this without tears...not with any child let alone my own. But this is the harsh reality for so many people in the world in poverty..they simply cannot afford to keep their children!
I walked around the boardwalk in Napier this morning..it is a perfect day, blue skies, snow capped hills, glistening water, I am healthy, I have healthy amazing children who love life and eat when they are hungry, I have a job I love ..could/would I give up everything here to do what Cate is doing?? Honestly answered..I dont know!
Please read about this amazing woman..who BTW has 9 children as well!!
How to help

Awesome feedback for Tui.....

Tuesday, August 11, 2009


Hi Kim
Thank you, the Tui arrived straightaway. I absolutely love it and I think you're very clever to create such a gorgeous thing!
My baby is 6 weeks old and I plan to stick it up in his room - like in the cot picture you have on your web site. In the meantime I have just stuck the snail next to his changing table and he loves looking at that.
It is such a gorgeous product - it is the best thing I have bought for ages and I show it to everyone
Thanks and regards
Vicki
