    Haha, I knew they were called feed dogs, but only cos I was totally lost the first time I cracked open the sewing machine - so foriegn to me, and I read it in the instruction book.

    Mel, I'll just figure out how much I microfleece I need, and oh...it's Friday tomorrow, hey. Okay, if I don't get back to you tonight, it'll be tomorrow.

    Hey guess what I've just discovered......wildchildnappies are almost up and running with the PUL laminating service Big day tomorrow!

    Finally I'm so happy to know we have an option to have stuff laminated over here now. I'll have my eyes peeled for some way cool fabric to send off to them now. But my happiness is short lived because I wish I wasn't broke ATM

    Double posting cos I am not sure where everyone is lurking today...hehe:

    Yay...I can finally get on to BB....gavent been able to get in all day finally resorted to rebooting the modem and whadya know it worked!!

    I have ordered the little additions fleece today and she will let me know early next week when the order has been put together - it is a huge mother of a warehouse so they have to get the forklifts about etc so couldn't do it on the spot. But it is on its way...woohoo!!

    CC I don't know if you are a member of the THis-end-up coop but she has contacted her fleece manufacturer and sent a sample of the windpro and they have said they can duplicate the product with the DWR coating. To get them to do a mill run she has to order 100yards so if you are interested go have a look...it will be $5.50/yard US

    Apparently MM is still going under its new owners but it looks like no more small fry sales only for the big boys who order truckloads at a time.

    Oh and wild child nappies look so funky with their new site they had over 400 shoppers at opening time tonight!!!

    Wowee! That's a LOT of shoppers Mel!

    I emailed you (twice now, but you must have missed the first one, perhaps check your junk?) but incase you check this, I wanted 5m of Planes and 2m of Africa, if that's okay!

    No worries, well now that I know that, I'll PM you from now on!

    Why are we still both up? One firm smack each. I'm hungry, actually.
    I recently got back from youth group, was a music night, and my turn to organise, had a whole stack of fun, we had guest guitarists in and I played too and each group made up songs. And then after most people had gone, my mate played me some of the songs he's working on for his piano exam (he's doing, grade one million or something). Was really relaxing.
    And now I'm hungry...think I've got some turkish bread and basil, cashew and parmesan dip somewhere...mmm...

    I found a lady on NC who lives 30 mins away from me who let me come over & use her Snap press & some of her snaps. I am going to make her a nappy cover to say thanks.
    DH is happy for me to get one now that he has seen what it is. But I have to wait till he gets back from cairns. Have a look on my blog at my latest covers. I am going to make another in the purple & black print for the lovelly lady who let me come use her press.

    No all of those I did with a PUL backing. A bit of a waste of the fleece i know but I couldn't find any poly print that I liked.
