Hey, just a reminder that we don't do buy and sell on the general boards. We do have a sling b/s/t thread in the works, so hopefully someone will get round to it shortly

Oopsie! It's traded now anyway :)
WooHoo!!! I just bought a Girasol rainbow diamond weave!!!!! Soo happy! It's only a size 5 though.. Ideally I would have liked a 6, but should be able to do what I want with a 5.. If not, it should be easy enough to sell on.. She's soooo pretty!!! I'll post an action shot as soon as it arrives!!!
Ohhh they're do gorgeous BAL :D
----------------------------------
So, it has come to this.
People do seem to go crazy for rainbows!
Pictures please :)
Yay BAL. I've got my rainbow converted, should be here this week some time. I've also got a diva veneziano and a hemp berry lilies coming this week.... I've been bad!
Yay BAL! Rainbows are so pretty :)
I'm kind of chuffed, just managed a halfway passable DH, but I had to tie under bum instead of coming back around to the front because a 6 just is that teensy bit too short for me. Was comfy enough, so I'm wondering what the difference is or whether it matters all that much? IE should I think about trading/selling one of my 6's to buy a 7 so I have that little bit more fabric to work with?
Maybe you can help me then, ck. me and dh don't seem to work well together.
Ha ha, I wouldn't say I'm any good at it - just that it was halfway passable. I found this video to be the most helpful though - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnNIMyk-WjI
There are some tutes in here Loulabelle
What wrap are you trying to do it with? I always have trouble with anything grippy or thick.
I never ended up getting the size 2, thought it would be too short.
but.. im getting a WC HB and i just got a sneak peak photo! =) so excited, cant wait to see it!!!!
That's exciting!! Who's doing it?
Belloborn =)
yes, who? what's the wrap? how exciting!
ETA - lol, too slow
I'm getting a girasol aqua azul converted =) picked it cause of the colour, goes with the 'theme' hehe.
I saw it on FB :D It's gorgeous, and I'm jealous ;)
Thank goodness for my Snow Rainbow last night. Amelia's had a cough and a bit of a temperature for a few days, so we went off the the hospital when the cough got a hundred times worse within about an hour. She and I waited for over six hours pacing back and forth with her on my back :o We couldn't even go in the children's waiting room because the other kids in there were just terrorising her, so I paced the short corridor near the toilets :( If I hadn't had her wrapped on my back, she'd have been so miserable not being allowed to run around. With the pacing, she could see what was going on, see her reflection in the windows, etc....

Oh no, hope she's doing better!
TARDIS!!!! :o
My rainbow is in the mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So CAN"T WAIT for it's arrival
ETA: I just stalked the tracking number and it says "Accepted from customer" WTF?
Okay, I am waaaaaaay too clucky right now. I wanted to practise some carries, but Amelia was asleep so I used my Cabbage Patch Doll again... And ended up looking for newborn-friendly carries. Some I can use with her, like the FWCC (look, my first carry abbreviation!), but it's just left me wanting #3 to come right NOW! :( Anyone have a newbie I can borrow? :p

Have mine too teni ;) although he's 6 months now so not quite newborn. Hope Amelia is feeling better.
Madb, I've been trying with a linen blend and I think thats my problem. A little to thick and crunchy to learn with? I got fluffy mail yesterday (see below) completely broken in and soft hemp lilies. I did manage a dh although it was still a little floppy, I do think I'll be able to get it with a little practice.

Yay, now with two almost-newbies I can practise tandem carries - and I can rotate the newbs out if I want to throw Amelia in! You guys rule :p

Just means it's been posted. If it said "delivered" then there'd be a WTF moment.:
I hear you on being clucky Teni - I'm majorly clucky as well, have been for a while. So much so my body is playing tricks on me and making me think I might be but the sticks are still coming up negative. Bah.
Sigh. Waiting sucks. I want my Afryka!
DS has only the rare chuck now (and shouldn't mess your beautiful wraps), so you are welcome to borrow him to practise in case you get quads.
L ~ so pretty!! and so is bub =) what a cutie.
and yea, I forgot to mention DD will throw up once on your back - doesnt matter if she has just fed or not, and also likes to eat wraps...so dont use anything too nice she will suck the life out of it =P
Hi,
I am very interested in wearing my baby when it gets here in January, but short of going through all of these baby wearing posts, can someone direct me to an article or website that might explain the different types of wraps etc, and the carrying styles so I can work out what I need to buyand do to wear baby?
thanks in advance
OOOOO that lilies is veerrrry nice!
My DD wiped snot on my back today :)
nicnac, there's a post somewhere by Suse on all the different types - but I couldn't find it. Your best bet might be on facebook - the babywearing buy/sell/swap page has links to heaps of information.
Also there are local groups that holdmeetups, which are a great way to find out more and actually have a try of things before you buy.
Nicnac - try searching for Kanga Collective or The Babywearer. Both sites have forums with heaps of info.
Thanks so much- they both sound like some good places to start researching.
that was DS! eau de chuck:
Heh, I must've gotten lucky - DS has only spewed a handful of times while being worn. Spewed a lot everywhere else, and there were quite a few occasions where it'd end up with both me and him in the shower and clean clothes after being soaked to the skin - but never in a carrier.
IT'S HERE!!!!!! I'm in love :D 2865
Gorgeous BAL! And Jett seems very happy with it too.
Yesterday I was walking with DD2 on my back when I felt her turn her head and then it sounded like i'd dropped something. I turned around to see a puddle on the ground :) Seems DD has learned to chuck to the side so neither of us gets covered :lol:
What a clever girl Tuesday!
and that looks so beautiful and comfy BAL
That is awesome TC, DS turns towards me to chuck, today he opened my cardy and then chucked so it hit my singlet and the inside of my cardy. noice.
Looks gorgeous BAL
Lovely BAL!
I haven't had much back spew thankfully. I do seem to get cleavage spew every time I front carry though.
This DH is driving me mad! No matter how tight I pull it when wrapping, the top chest rail always ends up loose and then I get pressure on my shoulders.. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong as it seems tight when I'm doing it.
how are you tightening Loulabelle? I find pixie curl's tute really helpful - she tightens across the rail and then does the L Pull.... there's another one where another wrapper shows how to keep it tight from the start, but that look harder to me :)
Waaahhhhhh, DH accidentally took "Snowy" to work with him and now I can't go for a walk like I want to! :(
(...Or, I can just use the Ergo. Or one of the ring slings. Or a stroller...)

So, it has come to this.
