Christy - yeah I'm going tuesday - did you want a cuddle from me or bubs?? pmsl!!!
Mel, I think I forgot to tell you that your package arrived.......thank you hun! You're a superstar!
Thanks Sal again for the lift really appreciated it :)
I had a great time as-well :D
sez - cool - its a gorgeous colour isn't it? its my fav!!!! lucky i love ya!! lol
Christy - SNAP! I am exactly the same, get into something & then lose interest as soon as I have all the 'fixins' lol, like, I was going to make baby hair clips... made like 12 then got over it... now I'm buying heaps of yarn & knitting needles etc BUT found some fabric while cleaning up today & decided I'll give turning it into something a go... :lol: My attention span is non-existant. Plus, I always see things I want, especially on Etsy, but never buy it 'cause I think "I could make that!!" ...and I probably could, albeit a cruddier version, but do I....?!
I need more ittis. I really really love the sewn in seconds I got, they dry quicker than any other AIO I've got, especially the magicall which seems to take weeks. Am going to start saving now for the expo & itti bargain packs.
Got a tonne of washing done today, too bad I've got many many more tonnes to go!!!
Queen - in Punky's honour, bilbs and i have been having a bop to Ferry Corsten's PUNK song (he says "digital punk" over and over) love that toon.
bilbs has stopped dancing with her head, and is finally shaking that bilby tush and using her knees, she also does a hula hoop style of dancing, (in her baby legwarmers).
WOTBB: whizz kidz OSFM fitted with lochness monster cover (and baby legwarmers)
sounds gorgeous Gigi - which legwarmers is she in?
nothing much today, did a load of washing. DH impressed, BBB with FJ cover lasted the night, albeit rather smelly in the morning ;)
Us - well Pip in his BBH with BB PUL cover and will soon be in nsnoozywun for the night.
why do you say "DH impressed" - have night nappies not been working for you lately K? absorbency wise or leaks due to fit problems?
How long does Pip sleep for?
bilby is sleeping for two stretches of about five hours, wakes for a feed in the middle, so we change her then. The acidic teething poos continue, poor bilbs, those molars surely are taking their time to cut ALL the way through.
When it's not summer weather, tiny bilbies keep their legs warm and accessorise with Huggalugs . . . and another brand from ETSY that i keep forgetting the name of. ;) Huggalugs is aust owned, babylegs are US owned - i think that 's the diff Kazbah.
dh took my "supposed to have been fixed/but still not working overlocker" back to teh sewing machine centre. will be very pleased to have it back, WORKING.
Have any of you sewing queens got directions for how to sew up a cover?
(like an online tutorial link)
You see, the only MCN i have ever attempted were POCKETS, but i cut out a pocket incorrectly, forgot to cut the little rectangles out above the pocket opening, and you can't add extra PUL fabric, it would leak where you joined the extra PUL, so i'm thinking, the only thing i could make this "meant to be a pocket nappy" into, would be a cover. But i have never done a cover before, not sure what/where i'd sew the back elastic, the tummy elastic - do i add some fleece as reinforcement? do i sew the elastic to teh PUL, to the inner layer (suedecloth)? It's lovely PUL nappy cut, i really need to salvage my little "disaster".
So, who's having chocolate crackle withdrawals today??? anyone? :dance:
Gigi - crawler covers maybe? The Etsy ones??? Chocoalate crackle overdose over here more like... I brought most of them home again!!! :lol: (There was jelly slice there Gigi, do you hear me, JELLY SLICE!!!)
I think its a form of torture when people are talking chocolate crackles and jelly slice when you've just started a diet..... :)
Hey - question - what are some really good nappy sites? Since my laptop died, I don't have the ones in my favourites!! (thus making it harder for me to shop of course..) but anyway, my cousin is about to have her first bub - and my mum is hassling me to pass on some websites to my auntie for her - cos my cousin wants to start using cloth...
and since I have lost my favourites.. I can't remember any!!!
Can you guys tell me some of your fav websites - specially for a newbie...
Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa muchly...
Gigi - DH impressed cause he didn't have to get up to change the nappy ;) Pip slept from around 5pm until 8am. I woke him around 5:30pm to change him into the BBB but expected him to wake around 7pm which is what he usually does, then I change him into his night nappy. The night nappies all work - suprisingly, the problems we've had at night have been with sposies ;) when he was on the ABs. Cause I use bamboo ones, which can just be composted, they don't hold up very well o/night for a tummy sleeper.
Ummmm I have no idea with the sewing Gigi :(
Oooh, was thinking - for cloth pads - fluffette mail? Cause i'm waiting on that too now ;)
Ahh Gudi! babybeehinds dot com dot au of course! and whatever Maz/FJ have in their signature, specially for newborns ;) just go to the nappy hunt list of sponsors, that'll get your faves back :)
Just bought some flongies in cow print from twinsincloth, hope they're OK. and another snoozywun.
WoHB - BBB with BB PUL cover. About to be (hehe) a BBB with BB PUL cover. then maybe a BP dalmation and then maybe an ecobubs in pale blue & chocolate stripes.
:redface: Mel, You gotta stop changing your username!!! I thought you were a newbie till I read your sig!!
All packed. The truck takes away my lovely MCN tomorrow :( I HATE using sposes!!! The girls hate them too, not as much padding for when they fall on their butts!!
My house echos atm. hmmm. a bit like my brain with the mush caused by having the 2ww and moving at the same time. Dealt with the phone, power and real estate companies today, that turns my brain mushy.
Internet gets packed away tomorrow, and if the hotel has no internet then I will be offline until 1/10.
Gigi, I will email you my mobile number if anything comes up for tomorrow.
Ali- good luck with the move!!!
Mel- nice new name
Well nothing much new here, really itching to buy some new dlish, trying to save some monies!!
Gigi- just so you know 85 icons!!!
Hi all, had a marvelous day today. All my fluffy mail arrived at once AND DH was at work so got to hide all the evidence before he got home!!! Went a bit crazy with the nappy hunt. Got 3 pairs of trainers (haven't used any yet but loving the look of the super undies from darlings) and a new AIO from twinklelilly and some more mama pads as well that are almost too gorgeous to use!!!! oh and I have my first pair of shorties on their way. I have been waiting and waiting to buy a pair and finally bit the bullet and got some, can't wait for them to arrive.
Pleased the melb meet up went well. I would love to cathc up with those brisbane BB's I know we had a few before but I can't find it. Anyone free between the 29th Sept- 2nd Oct If there are any Brisbanites who want to catch up do you want to pm me and we'll organise a day/time/place? I haven't been to Brissie for ages so if you want to suggest a place ????
Gudism - oh boy, i get so muddled u p when the usernames change!
websites for a newbie? wish i was allowed to put links, but i can't so you will just have to go google (a lot!)
the mega nappy stores
nurturenappies
babysoftlandings
darlingsdownunder
babyblossom
theweewuns
the work at home mum sites
wahmnaps
wahmania
ozebaby
sign up for the nappy hunt at diaper decisions (the aust hunt not the US one) and the list of sponsors will give you PLENTY of places to look LOL
WOTBB: Kester Kovers AIO - a front snapper that she DOESN"T get wing droop from - yeh! (i'm still having a whinge about the itti bittis i can't buy her!)
85 icons Nessa! wow!!
two weeks without internet ali - wow - sounds like a holiday in some ways, torture in other ways!
rachel - is Pip any better now?
Hey Gigi - maybe you and I should petition Itti Bitti to see if they'll bring out a side snap version... :lol: I don't get wing droop with the d'lish, but they leak because I can't adjust the legs and wait independently. They fit him perfectly about one week in four... I so want a red one.
I am so loving my lotus AIOs at the moment, they are my perfect snap-in AIO, I am dreading the day he grows out of them because there are no more. Does anyone know if the break Candice is having is of a permanent nature, or will she be returning one day?
My BumGs might be due for a strip wash - I've been getting leaks quite frequently. Or I have to start boosting them. He left a puddle on the sheepskin in the pram today. No jokes, it was an actual puddle.
WOH(sleeping)B: FJ special minky night nappy with matchy-matchy lovely teal grandma knitted soaker, that I fixed the falling off leg cuff on today, so it doesn't have a big hole in it now. Yay.
Nighty night...
Gigi - my Pip's OK. My dog's about to get throttled though - she's barking at goodness knows who.
Suse - love the new photo.
Gudi - why the name change? Very confused. Didn't even notice (cause I look at sigs not names)
Us - still need to collect fluffy mail from post office! When I went down there yesterday there was no power so couldn't collect. Doh. Sheeeeesh its cold.
WoHB - a very soggy snoozywun. Soon to be a BBB with PUL.
good morning all!
We are back (actually got back sunday just been to slack to post) from our weekend away to try & make up for not being able to get to Sammy's babyshower.
First, THANK YOU Sammy for the stitch markers. It was nice to come home to something for me.
Our trip away was ok, but the snow part of it sucked. I did up a review of our trip on my blog if you to have a read.
Isla was in sposies for all of it. Which turned out to be a wise thing as she has had (still has) yukky runny poo & I was changing poo nappies 2 or 3 times a day.
It was nice to put her back in cloth Yesterday but now she has a rash again! It came up after being in one of the Itti's. I hope she hasn't decided her skin can't do suedacloth!
Sammy, I hope you liked the nappies I sent. I have a little dress int he same material that I should have sent also but it wont fit till Buba girl is about 9 months I would say, thats when I made it for Isla.
GiGi, I hope you found something to do with your weekend while the melb girls parted on.
Congratualtions to all those who are preggers! Isn't it funny, the last lost of pg announcments came in a big rush also.
Its good to see everyone doing their part to keep the NB cloth talk alive. As mine, sammy's (pg brain all I can think of just now LOL) little bubs turn into bigger bubs there will be a fresh lot of llittle ones again.
Cluck cluck cluck cluck LOL
mmmm what else have I missed..... I dunno. My brain is mush at the moment I remember stuff all!
