Beetlebums Night Nappy

I made this lil night nappy for my beautiful friends lil gal, A :). She is totally adorable and I just wanted to make her something special!

It is a little different from my original night nappies in that there is no elastic in the front and the booster system is special ;) ;) *shhhh, its a secret*. I have hand-dyed the Bamboo/Organic Cotton outer, I love these colours!



Now Ive got to make a couple more for some special swaps and requests - maybe even a couple for lil Taj too!!

Woolly Pullons and more good news!

Ok, first things first - the Woolly Pullons are going to be stocked this Friday, 30/5 at 8pm on Ozebaby. There will be ten available with pics to come!

Secondly - IM GETTING MY INDUSTRIAL OVERLOCKER TOMORROW! Oh my goodness, all of my Christmases and Birthdays all at once :). Pics to come of that too LOL!!!

Just thought I would add an action pic of my Meltai. Im seriously considering making these to sell - I have the original prototype still in action from over two years ago, so I could say it is well tested huh LOL!!

Oh man, thats number THREE!!

Just a quickie for my lovely friends awaiting custom orders - machine #2 is now on the blink too... So, I have NO SEWING MACHINE :(. Im terribly upset about this, so much so that I just cant walk into my sewing room... Im taking both machines into the shop tomorrow to be repaired (again..) so heres hoping I can get ALL of your orders finished this weekend *optimistic hat on*.

I am hoping to have some more Beetlebums Woolly Pullons and hand-dyed night nappies for next week, and make sure that you join the Nurture Nappies (www.nurturenappies.com.au) mailing list to be in the know for when the next stocking of Beetlebums nappies will be (it will be soon). The Woolly Pullons and night nappies will stock on Ozebaby.

Catching up on the creations!

I thought it was high time that I got up to date in here! Here are a few things I have created that are non-nappy related

This was a Wrapstar Berrylicious Wrap that I converted into a Mei Tai. I loosely used the Ball Baby Overall directions :)



This one is a Cord/Geisha panel Mei Tai that I made for my Carrier Bilby. There is an adjustable bottom on it (so it will cinch in to suit little ones!) and there is a hood pocket internally. It was really hard to give up LOL!!!

New Beetlebums on the way!!

Hmmm, Ive been playing just a little bit and here is what Ive been playing with!

Im not saying any more about these guys ;) ;)




And a matchy matchy mei tai - its a Meltai!



And finally,



My hand-dyed wool Pullons! Ive got a big batch of wool in the pot at the moment for ultimate release upon the world!


Ive been so so so terribly busy these days, with lil Taj and Miss Lola taking up alot more of my energy than I ever imagined. I love this more than anything in the entire universe but it is giving me next to no sewing time at the moment. That and the fact that my wonderful big sewing machine is sad again makes sewing a chore! I LOVE sewing and Im sad that it feels like that right now. I know I will love it all again when my machine is happy again, its just deflating when I get it back from the mechanic only to have the same problem half a nappy into it *raspberry* *stomp foot*

And now for the super cute pic (or two)



And lil Taj flashing one of his first giggly smiles *swoon
