Cloth Nappies #165.

[Gigi]

welcome back Skittlebub and Falguni

congrats to the pot o gold hyenas - well done!
cheeky monkey - commiserations about the wrong size, what a pain for you.

Nine Inch Nails MCN - sounds like a niche market.

wotbb: minky pocket mcn - gone shopping with daddy

my bf-ing hoody arrived, love it (from nuvo maternity's summer sale).

Limey - OMG, your mum's ex is totally screwing you over - how vindictive and nasty - as if Charlotte's nappies and clothing are any use to him!! that's nothing but evil and nasty. I am so sorry to hear about this, you must be ropeable.

so Anna T and Falguni are close to their due dates, anyone else i should be clucking over?

NaNa, when my first Maz covers arrived (I ordered about nine) I cried... yep I admit it... cried because I just love them all... I think it could be the same when the POG arrives

[NaNa]

tk - trust me, it'll be tears all over again. The colours are just so purdy... and the snaps made me think of Skittles and Smarties! Gee, I would like to have 9 maz-a-licious covers... I'm just not quick enough!

ooo I was gunna get one of those hoodies too, Gigi! The finance dept. was on strike that week tho, and I had to pass.

OK, off to bed. I'm not the nocturnal creature I used to be...

[ll80]

yeah, if you girls are cool with that? her nappies ROCK

and these ones really will! PMSL

i cnat tell DH about this, he will just roll his eyes!

sounds good to me, I'll get what ever size you are getting Kitten cause our bubs seem to be pretty similar in builds.

If only I could sew lol def. a niche market here for us geeks and freaks

[Pandora]

there are so many uber geek IT things I want to get, it would be hard to choose.

[Arimeh]

Cat - yup I'm in babe... NIN all the way And Astroboy if do-able (not saying that Astroboy was do-able - thats a little off - he's a robot.. hellloooo)

*Ahem*

And I agree with the pics of the butts altogether. Even if we took individual pics and photoshopped them altogether... hehe!!!!

DH likes the idea of NIN nappy - probably be keen for a michael jordan one too

LOL

[~Saram~]

Hi all, I have discovered this MCN thing is much more exciting when getting fluffy mail. Got my GF zebra minky AIO and funky trainers (opps they are still in the dryer)and have to say it is noice - thank you kitt3n

Have fun with your customs!

Oh congrats to the POT O Gold grabbers - can't wait to see piccies

[Kitt3n]

Cat - yup I'm in babe... NIN all the way And Astroboy if do-able (not saying that Astroboy was do-able - thats a little off - he's a robot.. hellloooo)

*Ahem*


LOL

when i was a kid i wanted to marry astro boy and magnum P.I

yep both of em... actually had a dream about it once when i was about 4 that i still remember

umn nappy related....... i am obsessed with nappies, will that do?!!

OH the GUDNH - i need 2 more icons and i just cant be bothered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! geeee

[Gigi]

Saram - WHICH funky trainers? you knew i wouldn't let that pass without quizzing you!! cmon cough! brand? narrow or wide crotch? action pic? ha ha, i am obsessed about trainers now! (which of course will not shock you). i have to have some obsession.

Kitt3n - enjoy the astro boy-ness, sorry i coudln't find you an astro boy mcn!

RayRay - we have a maz cover - black with the original, 1984 Apple computers logo on it - the rainbow stripes - so it's retro IT - dh lurves it.

then there's my bilby mcn collection - hand done appliques of bilbies (and knitted ones for the woollies) - no way i am selling these - so precious to me.

wotbb: bilby told me at 10pm that she had "bee bees and voo voo", so off with night nappy, onto toilet - and she delivered - so to speak, back on with night nappy, and to bed.


about band nappies - i actually recall seeing a US site, where the nappies were made (fitteds) using old band tshirts, as the outer - might have been a "frugal diapering" site - dunno - been too long since i saw it. I dont' think the concept (band themed mcn) is completely beyond possibilities, if my googling was cleverer, i would be able to track them down for you.

woddlebots is another mcn site - saw it doing the hunt - that does customised nappies.
wrigglebots will embroider MANY things onto nappy cuts of fabric (which you could then send to genesa forge etc).
mazalicious does amazing custom appliques and now she has a whizz bang embroidery machine too. i guess for embroidery, it's a case of what embroidery patterns are on the discs that the WAHMS have (to put in their fancy embroidery machines).

[ll80]

Kitten - why not lol, might as well go for the lot if we can get them all in one go

Mel I am sure there would be some sort of bionic device that would make all of your and astro boy's dreams come true

I spent all night looking for an extreme Icon with no luck, tomorrow maybe dishes still on the sink, nappies still on the line lol I even suckered DH into helping me out with a couple riddles.

ETA ubuntu would also be cool

[LimeSlice]

does this mean I can get charlotte a NKOTB nappy now???

[Gigi]

Limey - pleez explain your acronym!
Edited: omg i just realised
New Kids On the Block
omg, :bites tongue:

AnnaT - i have a friend with a baby boy - their theme is ladybugs (for good luck). the anne geddes site has lots of great ladybug baby clothing in reds, greens, white. Lots of the ladybug stuff i see in shops here IRL, it's all PINK ladybug stuff, which gives me the irrits. How come insects are so gendered in baby clothing? it's ridiculous!

anyhoo, at the anne geddes site, if you love ladybugs on your child, you'll be in 7th heaven. (i have no idea what the US postage would be though). I only looked on the site for girls ladybug clothing (for another friend with a baby gal), but i think it was girl and boy clothing there.

so with two close friends, who are both LADYBUG CRAZY, i tend to look for ladybug stuff (on their behalf and for pressies).

there is a ladybird PUL, green red and white, with white daisies in the background. i have seen a nappy made out of it, during the nappy hunt - wish i could remember WHICH site! plus i saw a Lou Lou ladybug nappy on minicuteture - but that's a quilter's cotton fabric outer - one with purple background, one with white background. i would put any of those of a boy moiself.

oh and on the bits for bots site, there is a ladybug pocket nappy, bright yellow background, ladybugs - a fleece pocket. cos i had one made for my friend. (the size i wanted said SOLD OUT on the site, so i emailed the site to request one for my friend's little boy.

my friend with the little gal, is not into MCN at all - sigh.
but i got her ladybug bibs made by WAHM's. from the WAHM malls, like ozebaby, wahmnaps, wahmania etc. And her mummy is wearing mazalicious breastpads, so i'm hooking them into WAHM wonderfulness - even if it is MCN-less in her case.

NANA - the nuvo hoody, sizing is more generous, and top is longer, than their polo tops. i had been assuming (wrongly) that their entire range was a bit on the small, short side, but it's only the polo top that is like that. (ok for a shortie loike me).

i think the hoody would be a great top for travelling in (see i can justify ANYTHING), you can just call me





THE ENABLER!!!

RIDICULOUSLY EXXY!!!

i was looking only about a week back cos they had some girls stuff on special for $4 and $5 which i thought was a bargain - 5 items (one small book, 4 items of clothes) less than $60 in cost for products, $70 in postage to Au!


i love love LOVE the stuff on her site - but OMG - that postage was ridiculous!! i think the only way you could make it viable is if you got a co op together and even that would still be rather exxy...

[Pandora]

Ooh maybe bub could get a TISM nappy lol

There is a website called free penguin that has free downloadable Linux penguin embroidery files..its says they work on brother machines but can be converted..hmm..

BG I hear you on Anne Geddes - I looked when Milo was little, cos we had a bumblebee theme happening (and do you think I could ever get my hands on one of those bumblebutt covers..or whatever they were called???) so I was trying to get an outfit but 'twas going to cost a fortune.

Nappy related - 3 parcels of fluffy mail this week! woot! and 2 more to come - huzzah.

Update on my friends nappy demo debarcle, the parent company have been awesome, and the demonstrator apologised profusely - but then told her she didnt have the item she'd been coming to display in stock anyway, and maybe she'd (my friend) like to buy one at bunnings??

[Freya]

Ta for the heads up Gigi! Sucks about the exchange rate though *sigh*

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaz what colour licorice all sorts covers do you have left? I want one in medium but obviously has to be "boyish" in colour *sigh*

Yay for everyone who got a pot o gold! My pot o gold $$$ bought Ds1 a freakin Transformer last night, I swear Dh is a bigger softie than I am. I only intended to window shop for fun. Upside is he slept with it all night so we'll get our moneys worth lol

We're in Cyclone warning so Im betting I have to wait longer for my fluffy mail next week cause itll bloody rain and flood WAH! Thankgod Ive washed most of my nappies, there is not one sposie in the house so theyll be house training on newspaper if I cant get nappies dry over the weekend for whatever reason

[*charmalea*]

yes yes where can i get embroided naps from ?? DH would LOVE some NBA nappies not quite geek but silly just enough , oohoooh .. no a mercedes benz nappy .. now that would rock his socks off !!! he works at MB and his long service is coming up soon !! what a cool pressie from his lil girl !
