The Person Behind Bumble Bee Designs


My name is Pietrina and I live in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia. It is a beautiful area to live with lots of friendly people, close to the Hunter wineries and the beach is only 1/2 hour away. Here is a photo of my family. It was my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary. I'm in the back row 2nd from the left with the long blonde hair.


Let me tell you a bit about how BUMBLE BEE DESIGNS BOUTIQUE evolved. I started making baby booties for friends and family for baby shower gifts or baby presents and everyone loved them so much they encouraged me to start sharing them with others. Which is how BUMBLE BEE DESIGNS BOUTIQUE began!

I then started to make jacket's and hat's along with the booties. People have purchased my garments from all over the world and I have received wonderful feedback from them. I love what I do and I have enjoyed meeting so many people who have become good friends. Here are some photo's of my work.



I have been doing embroidery and cross stitch for year's and you will always find me with a needle and thread doing some form of craft work. I have worked for quite a few years doing cross stitch and embroidery for design companies and magazines here in Australia. I have to say I love what I do and I'm so enjoying the path my life has now taken.

I'm quite involved with selling on ebay as well and I'm part of a wonderful group called WISTERIA LANE. A group of very talented designers from clothing to accessories for children & adults. We do special themed auctions every month and I will be sharing some of my new designs with you on the blog.

Well that's all from me for now but I can't leave you without showing you my cute little toy poodle Teddy. He really is a delight & he has such a beautiful nature!
