That is so sad FJ...:( luckily my 2 havent gotten the rash *yet*
Now Sarah....what Mama pads did ya get???? Bugger the kids I want some fluffy mail for ME for a change!
Gigi - were did you get that mama pad you sent me from again babe?
Ahh worms are biting in my tummy must eat
Maz - I remember Gigi said she got it from the cloth pad shop but I don't remember the exact name... I have to get me some too before the end of the month (to use the hunt discount), just have to a)find the dough & b)REMEMBER!!!!
Gigi you can make a cover just like a pocket but just sew up the hole at the top. That's what I did and it works perfectly. Just make sure the inner is a microfleece so it doesn't wick and sew the elastic to the pul so it curls in. Sorry I don't have a link I just made it up as I went but I don't think it's an original idea as it does end up looking like the shell of an itti bitti!
Oh and there is a PURPLE BILBY nappy on the gossamer dreams site! Check it out!!!
Ali byebye for now!
FJ glad you like them :D and yes I love the nappies great job! OMG they are so tiny. 10 more weeks till I can use them :dance: Can't wait!
QM those choc crackles were yummy! I hadn't had one of them for years :D
Wow Qld girls it's such a HUGE state isn't it! I though 3 hours drive to visit Maz was long!
Side snapping ittis would be wonderful :pray: We really don't have wing droop issues with ours but I still prefer side snap anyway.
Got a poo story to share. Caleb wanted to sit on the potty last night. Nothing happened and he nicked off. Didn't chase him as it was almost bath time and thought he could have some nappy off time for 10 mins or so. Anyway he started screaming about his socks and the little bugger had done a poo (on the floorboards thank goodness) and then stood in it. He was distraught about getting poo on his socks :cryinglaugh: At least I had something to laugh about while I was cleaning it up!
Best I got an hang nappies on the clotheshore. It's raining again :rolleyes:
Oh no FJ. Hope it's not suedecloth! I love suedecloth! (and forgive the wicked wicked girl in me who will be watching itti seconds now :redface:)
I'm a bit scared to hang nappies outside, it's been so windy lately! They could end up in some trees or something! :D
I know Sammi, that's what I thought, that Qland is MASSIVE.
Yeah not long PP! Wow.
Riv's helped himself to a banana, just peeled one strip off, and is trying to eat it through the gap...pretty messy. Don't have the heart to take it off him, I'm proud he had the smarts to peel it! :P
Mel I missed seeing you today :( I hope you are okay???
On the up side, there were 2 other cloth mammas at this little get together & it was cute.
WOHB: BumG.... she's refusing sleep.... little bugga.
Was there a cloth meet today?
i didnt know... :( sorry christy!
Maz - twinklelilly, I tell you this nappy hunt is NOT good for my pocket. So many great sites with great stuff!
Any NQ'ers we have finalised the details for reusable nappy week. I will post in general but thought I would let you know here save hopping all over the place (no one is profiting so hope that's OK)
- shopping centres at Castletown, Willows
- Market day Sun 19th Oct 8-1pm Cotters Market in the city (The Nappy Bucket, Sustainable Hemp + Cuddlesncloth + others to confirm)
- Picnic on The Strand 12:30-3pm raffles, and meet many of the WAHM who make or sell cloth nappies in NQ
Gotta run only 3 days till we leave for Brissie and SOOOOO much to do
Nelle - I know what you're talking about re: the wind, I ran outside yesterday to get them all off the line when I heard what weather was supposed to be coming. Said to DP I don't care what other stuff gets blown to Kansas but not my nappies!!
Saram - How many icons have you found? I still haven't been back since my enthusiastic (aka addicted) first day.
oh PP no! A mutual friend between Mel & I was having a learning ladder party & I was going to see Mel & catch up with them.
Christy - you're tallking about the other Mel? (withh 3 mel's on this thread its bloody confusin...)
Its even more so when they change their user names!!
Ok, Emailed Itti bitti to cancel my order & have now extended it LOL.
Im going to trial Isla & see if I can pin point & actually prove the Ittis are to blame.
So putting them away for the next fortnight & using my others & see how it goes then put her back in the itti if all goes well & see what happens.
Fingers crossed.!
Kaz - my DH wanted his persona back ;) I stole it cos couldn't think of anything better at the time..lol:
PMSL!:
rogls! I hate changing my name, I used another nick for about 10 years but if I have a daughter, I want that to be her name, so thought I'd better use something else ... no idea what ... then a bloke @ work started calling me Kazbah so that was it :)
Pip's hopefully going to sleep tonight. Got asked so many times at work about the bags under my eyes I started replying I was changing my name to Gucci so I could sell them for a profit.
WoHB - snoozywun of course!
hi everyone!!
mel- i love the new user name!!
fj- oh hope its not the suade (sp)
hehe want to know what i have been doing all night?
Sewing doll cloth nappies!!!, Its almost Annikas birthday and I got her a baby alive.. that eats, drinks, poops and wees.. and it came with *shock, horror* sposies!!!! and i though bugger that!!! no DD of mine going to be using sposies on a doll, so i have so far made two all in ones from some scrap material!!! going to get her, her own stash :lol: !!!
PLus it cost $5 for pack of 5 sposies for the doll!! thats even more $$ then normal sposies
WOAB: FJ NN with Kozy longies
WOMB: wild child NN with LJ longies
Oh yay that you're keeping the ittis FJ - cos you got them when there was also the discount, too good to pass up! Think about it - if it IS the suedecloth, and you have to onsell, it's not like you'll have any trouble selling them!
Good for you Ness, sounds like you've been busy!!
Great username Mel.
Better go shower, I've been trying to shower at nights, because if I wait for a spare moment to shower in the mornings, I don't get out of my pj's for a loooong time. Better to roll out of bed looking slightly feral and get dressed. :P
PINK PALACE - wow, you sure do have a lot going on right now, :hug:
FJ - fingers crossed it's not the suedecloth that's causing Isla discomfort.
Kazbah - LOVE your Gucci comment, i can SO relate to that!!! ;)
SARAM - are you moving to Brissy or is this a holiday?
SAMMI - the sock poo story is just so funny, poor Caleb. bilbs WOULD NOT sit down in the bath the other night, and eventually, she looked at me with terrified eyes, and did poos in the bath (still standing), screamed her head off, it really scared her to do this. So i think she knew the poos were coming and that's why she didn't want to sit in the bath, but without words, she didn't know how to tell me. Poor love!
BEATRIX (without the U) - great idea to make dolly MCN - very cool. I got two off ebay, but don't really like the design.
ME - i met up with Alioops today, to say "goodbye" and to spend some time with her and her two adorable kidlets. We learnt that IKEA does not have teaspoons anywhere (when you're trying to feed your toddler/baby) and that their nappy table furniture is pretty good for MCN (great storage). Sarah and bilbs wanted to take teh IKEA slippery dip home with them, that was a BIG hit. And you must be THREE for the ball pit. so there you go. The new life in Townsville sounds wonderful, i wish i was going too!
WOTBB: Lotus night nappy with disana woolly pullup soaker
Gigi - thank youso much for emailng me the pad info...I swear I did not see it on the thread..Im so blah atm its not funny.
FJ - Yay at keepign the IB's hon. hope that they arent the problem with Isla.
Ness - grat idea to make the doll naps..I started making doll covers but was over it so quickly.
hello everyone.
I must be getting the flue cause my body aches and I feel like shiat. Im dizzy and could throw up everywere atm.
Oh Jed got his first tat last night...with all the kids names on it..I told him I want him to tat Maz-a-licious on his back and he then told me were to go.....he must'nt love me as much as I thought :ROFL:
OK does anyone know if you wash wool in the washing machine and then put it in the dryer would it still have any use as a cover? Obviously it shrank, what used to be a medium is now a small/newborn but I would like to give it away if it would still work????
Gigi - just a holiday - back to cvilization :-) And it will help with my quest not to put the aircon on till October :-)
QueenMab - hit the second level a few days ago, not sure how many that is and haven't gone back since, seriously need to do some study and it's just so tempting while waiting for documents to load if it's just there open and calling me ...... found a clue when reading to DS the other night, one of the riddles was in the book we were reading and I was like ohoh I know that but restrained myself :-)
Beatrix - Absolutely love doll nappies, Ari tried putting her nappies on her dolly and it was soooo cute had to get her some that fit. I love that all these little girls (and boys) are going to grow up with cloth! IYKWIM.
gotta go suppose to be cleaning house ......
i assume you mean you felted it sarah??? ive done it before and still works fine, albeit a little smaller!!!
Firstly, You wally!:
Second, It should work just fine as a smaller size
thirdly, is it boy colours? Wink Wink
Thanks FJ and I take no responsibility! My darling mother managed to destroy quite a few of my MCN on her first visit here thinking she was 'helping' :-) Bless her, I now have her fully trained and my MIL is too scared to come near my washing machine after soaking all of my napppies in napisan and hot water for 2 days!!!
It is a purple/mulberry colour sugarpeas and you are most welcome to it if you like purple :-)
Sarah - when are you coming to Brisbane again? Are you still wanting to meet up?
Well I do like Purple, But I think I have enough girlish colours for my man so might give it a miss. Maybe Sammy with her bundle of Pink will want it.
Arimeh- would love to, trying to organise something with Christy at the moment, maybe we can all catch up on the same day?
AJP - sorry missed you before, I always wondered what felted was
Sarah - yup just lemme know details!!!!
im up for a cloth meet up too when all in brisbane :)
FJ - im gonna have to send you a pair of bright green longies that ive felted AGAIN!!! dont ask me any questions then I wont tell you any lies....
Dame it...get my embroidery machine back today (WOO HOO) and now i have to find out were to get another memory card!!! DOH!
Gigi - Ikea is awesome!!!
Maz - Feel better soon, did you get those rainbow huggalugs?
Saram - I wouldn't be bothering once I got up to the first prize draw!!
Brrrr.... so cold tonight...!! Uh... nappy talk, nappy talk....?? Hmmm, when in doubt, quote their butt:
WOPB: BBH Bamboo boosted with hemp AND microfibre, with a purty pink Mazzy cover.
Another pic.. just cos I CAN..... ;)
https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...php?photo=9341
ooooo.....new itti bitti colours 8.30 tonight!!! Might have to do me some shopping......;)
WOHB - flat
oh Sal did you have ot let me know :ROFL: I can always do with one more :)....hmmm but do I wait until the expo...that is the question
i know skittlebub i just read the email :D how exciting....
Maz- what about 1 now, one at the expo? :cryinglaugh: Thats what I'll probly do, I like the snap ins & they're on sale anyway.
must say the balck one is looking good :) and I prefer the snaps ins aswell they dry so much quicker.
Ah I fell crapola!!!! must be getting the flue
I was felling destructive, so I just dissected an old Monkey Doodlez I had here.
I am rather surprised with how little there is too it. I boost the one I used on Isla when it fit but Wow!
All it is is
Outer - PUL
Absorbent - a full body of flannel with 2 layers of terry towelling in the absorbent panel
Inner - Fleece
Im surprised that they are as absorbent as they are when thats all there is!
eta - Maz, i have a black MD here for the little guy. I got a NB MD of NC & its so tiny LOL
evening ladies.
Am being good ... only bought more moogoo this week (for me) and for Pip another snoozywun, some cow print flongies and ooh yeah, a mama pad for me.
FJ - least that explains why they didn't really work for us then!!!
Am not buying any itti's until the expo ;)
Mel - she's gorgeous! More longie than bum but gorgeous!!!
Maz - do hope you're not coming down with anything.
WoHB - snoozywun. Really hoping he won't do a huge poo, he should be sleeping ...
FJ: i thought the Monkey Doodles used MICROFIBRE for their absorbency, or maybe i'm confused between teh Originals and the Micros MK. But the proof is in the "FJ Deconstruction" - cos there is nowhere to hide, once FJ is on the case!;)
Cow alert (Maz and Kazbah) on the NZ site called Mother's Instinct, they have the Goldbug harnesses, with a new COW version. You put it on the toddler like a backpack, and you hold the strap so they don't get run over. We have the Koala one (only cos they don't make a bilby one!!).
I made up my mind to get some BlueBerry trainers in medium, while discount code for hunt is valid, but mediums are obv the most popular size bought, hardly any mediums left in stock, and not in the colours i would have liked. (emerald, sapphire, the purple one).
bilbs has hit 11kg - no wonder my back is giving me grief!
WOTBB: night nappy wot dh put on her, KK AIO i thunk with longies cos dh thinks they are the grooviest pj bottoms - he realises it is overkill (mcn wise).
Gudi - ouch at the felting of your cover - i feel your pain! expensive lesson to learn heh? i'm so paranoid now, i store the woolies needing to be washed, in a completely separate room from the nappies waiting to be washed. The one time it happened to me, dh put the wool cover IN THE NAPPY PAIL!!!! Then he just happened to do the next nappy load, and didn't do a very thorough sorting job.
i wonder if Alioops is on the plane to Townsville by now?
Maz hope your feeling better soon!
Gigi - Bugger about the trainers! I picked up one from baby blossom but there wasn't a lot of colour choice there either. Have you tried the superundies from DD they are really cute and lovely and trim, not a huge amount of built in absorbancy but have a front pocket for boosting!
Have fun itti shopping to all those going!
Darn it had some thing to say and now I can't remember what it was....
Oh and if anyone wants a felted small purple sugarpeas woolcover let me know :-)
Alright everybody hold a minutes silence for FJ's dissected monkey doodle!
I chose not to open that email from itti bitti. Now I come in here and find this kind of temptation! You girls are going to get me into trouble :lol:
