Boutique display!

After much obsessing and very little sleep here is the display that I did for my first boutique in mid December. It went fairly well considering we had a huge snow storm that weekend and I was positioned in a freezing garage next to the designer jeans! Call me crazy but those that are looking for 200$ designer jeans aren't usually thinking "cloth diapering, save the planet and my pocket book while your at it" type, plus during a snow storm not many are thinking "swim diaper covers for the hot weather!" I could be wrong though. It was fun and met some really great people but it is torture for a multi tasker such as myself to sit at a boutique for 16 hours just 2 weeks before Christmas. I couldn't stop thinking of all the things I needed to be doing and most were not portable things that I could do at the boutique as well. It was a great learning experience and I was pleased to be part of a very classy boutique.

cover up baby!! and giveaway!

I have been meaning to update my blog for weeks but since I opened my Etsy shop I've been so busy. I opened it up meaning to get my quilts out there and start getting some quilts made....however, the diaper covers are really what's been flying and I'm finding myself sewing diaper covers nearly every night to get orders filled. I'm not complaining, it's been a fun ride over the last couple weeks and soon if everything works out the covers will be featured as a seller in an online baby/cloth diapering boutique...that's an order that will certainly keep me busy!...stay tuned. These diaper covers have mainly been used for those that want to fashionable cloth diapers their cuties but it also can be used as a swim diaper cover (law in Utah)to prevent cryptosporidium in the pools!

Cloth Diapers anyone????

Ok, so I've done cloth diapers at different stages with all my boys but ended up stopping when they outgrew the cloth diapers I had for them. Let's face it, it's an investment and cloth diapers are not cheap. With Simon though I thought "why can't I make them?...how hard can it be?" It took quite a bit of research to find out where to purchase the supplies I needed but they turned out rather well. I've been happy with them and they are festive little nappies don't you think? They can also double as a diaper cover and in our state (not sure about other states) it is required to have a diaper cover over the swim diaper because of last years incidents with Cryptosporidium bacteria in the pools.

Well, these covers will keep it all in!
