Don't forget the hats!

I have also been adding some fun things to my little shop...having a baby to model them is too much fun!!

Sneak Peak

Merry (late) Christmas and Happy New Year!! I'm finally posting here after what seems like forever! I had my baby on November 21st (boy #3!) and am feeling the urge to get back into the swing of things. I didn't quite get the stash of diapers done that I had promised before he was born so I'm just now listing them in my store! In fact they are newly listed as of today. In celebration of the New Year and the new baby I'm putting them all on sale! The sale is open to my blog readers only until next week when I will open it up to everyone. In other words, you won't find the prices that I'm offering to you in my store but if you convo me before purchasing I will knock them down for you (or if you forget you can always convo me afterward for a refund for the difference). The one size diapers are $20 and the newborn/smalls are $12 each.

Speaking of the newborn diapers, we have been LOVING them! I brought my little guy home from the hospital in one after using them the whole time there. He's been in them ever since and now he's 12 pounds! He started out at 7lbs. 14oz. which was perfect for those little diapers. It has been so much fun to have a little diaper that fits him so well, even under his newborn clothes. I've also had fun with his newborn longies! I am amazed at how quickly they grow though, he's now starting to get too long for his longies and he's in between sizes. On the diaper front it's great becuase he's fitting into the one size really well and still fitting his smalls.

I have some fun little longies coming up too that I will list for sale when I get them washed and lanolized. Can't wait to show them off!!

Giveaway Winner!

Congratulations to Andrea who won a free diaper!! I'm proud to be able to send you a lovely diaper of your choice. Thanks to all who participated and joined in the fun! Just to let you know, I am continuing to offer 10% off to those of you who follow my blog. I haven't decided how long this deal will continue for so jump on it while it's available!

I've been getting ready for baby to come. I only have a couple of weeks (well, I'm due on the 15th) but have definatly been having contractions recently. I have several diapers 1/2 made right now and I'm hoping to work up the energy to peel myself off the couch and go in there to finish them. I usually work at night after the kids go to bed but I haven't had much luck with that lately since my energy level is below zero by that time! Luckily I'm still able to knit since I can do that without moving off the couch (so sad). And it drives me crazy not to have something on the needles to take with me to the doctor's office etc. We'll see...it's hard to believe that very soon we will have a little bambino to hold in our arms!

Nesting

I am finally 37 weeks prego with number 3. I think my way of nesting is by obsessivly knitting! I can't stop myself...and it doesn't matter what I'm knitting I just have to have at least one or two projects going. Hats have been my newest obsession. But, this last week I went to a baby shower for a friend and so I couldn't help but make up this cute little cupcake set. She doesn't even cloth diaper but I know it will still get some wear!

For a Fluff Lovin' Mama

I was contacted last week by a local mom who was desparatly seeking longies, fast...she purchased a few pairs from me when we met downtown and then asked for a custom order. A few days ago she sent me a message with the specifics. Well, let's just say this is some serious FLUFF! I love it! I haven't made such girly longies ever! And, they fit right in with the Ooga Booga mania that seems to have swept the cloth diapering community off it's feet! Check them out...I think I'm gonna have to make some for my new (mystery) baby.

Diaper Review!

I love being contacted by fellow cloth diapering enthusiasts (weird I know:). Anyway, a little while ago I had the privilage of meeting a lovely Christian mom named Margaret who blogs and does reviews. I was originally contacted by a friend of hers who does reviews and was doing a special segmant on bamboo products for baby. But the timing wasn't right as we were leaving for summer project and I wouldn't be able to take advantage of any bump in business. Margaret was sweet enough to do a review on my diapers recently and show them off to her readers! Here is the review: http://cherryblossommj.blogspot.com/2009/10/clothdiapers-woollybums-review.html. Check it out!! It makes me feel so official:)

Fall Scarves

I started these last winter and just finally finished them up! For some reason it takes me forever to get things finished when I have to sew buttons or do a fringe or something like that. I just procrastinate! But the boys LOVE these and have been having "snake fights" with each other and dad constantly. It's fun to have them like something I make! The snake's tongue makes him look a little like a fire breathing dragon...but oh well. I was a little afraid that they would be itchy but they're not at all so that's lucky I guess. I plan to make a few more for the other guys (nephews etc.) for Christmas. They're pretty quick and easy. The tweed gives them a fun effect too! Mark thinks I should make a hat that looks like a snake swallowing your head and call it the 'I'm being eaten by a boa constrictor' hat...you know that poem? It's one of those morbid poems that we all grew up reading.
