The Christmas Stocking



Well, a little while back I gave a little clue about something exciting that I've been invited to do... The clue was 'Monthly' and yep, it certainly is true - I've been invited to participate in the monthly collaborative effort that is Gossamer Dreams!

This months theme is 'Christmas' and I must admit - Im not really one for the traditional Christmasy kind of thing but I am really enjoying exploring the wonderful festive spirit!!!

I hope that you can make it on the 15th, there is heaps going on. Fun and festivities abounding :)

I will be back with more updates on the Beetlebums creations for this month xx

Every now and then...

Every now and then, there is a real corker of a picture that I just have to share!! Here is J's niece (the lovely Ms D's daughter) in her cupcake Beetlebum, I giggle EVERY time I see this picture!




Every now and then I make a nappy that really rocks my world! This is crazy fun, and should now be with its new family (hopefully loved because it was hard to part with!)

The front of the freaky monster nappy

And the back


And every now and then I show off my little guy *swoon*



But for the first time.....

I show you my FIRST attempt at quilting, for my darling Miss Lola!!! This is hers for Christmas, will be double the size (to fit a double bed) and fingers crossed, it will be finished this weekend. I've just got to hide it from her till Christmas then!! EEEEEK!

Now I've finished the last lot...

Well, now that I've finished the last lot of pre-orders, the next lot are ready to go. There are a few conditions with this one - please read below

This Large pocket nappy pre-order is strictly limited to two per customer, and immediate payment via Direct Deposit is expected. Please email through payment confirmation within two hours of checking your pre-orders out to avoid automatic cancellation. Automatic cancellation will occur without notice if payment confirmation is not received. The choice you have is boy/girl/unisex. The colours of the nappies will be determined by me, although if you have a very specific aversion to any colour please send a email via the contact option and state your order number and the colour you DONT want.

Im going to be activating it in about 1/2 hour (about 10.40) and then I will be leaving for a week away. I will not be able to be contacted during this time so please, just be patient!

Anyway, off to pack some swimmers!!!

ETA - I have tried and tried to send out a newsletter with this announcement in it but Yahoo has decided that I am suspicious and wont let me do it. I will be creating a Bravenet account when I get back and will ask for folk to resubscribe then. It will be announced on my blog :)

Thursday at the Cloth Nappy Shop

This Thursday Bek of The Cloth Nappy Shop is hosting a bit of a shindig in celebration of Real Nappy Week! I, of course, will be there - with some Beetlebums in tow. Yep, I will have a couple or a few nappies available on the day, so if you are in Brisbane - be there!!!

We are also having a bit of a fundraiser to raise money for Breast Cancer, and will have the prizes there (Lesley of Cherubs' Kiss will also be contributing!) ready for the winner (who must be present at some stage of the day to buy tickets) to take home with them!!

Its going to be great fun, so please come along and meet some great cloth nappy advocates and fans!!!


ETA - Im having a sad right now - I am not going to be able to bring any extra nappies with me tomorrow. I do have a very funky prize though! So thats ok, isn't it?!
