Another week passes and yep I did do a sneaky lil stocking on the weekend just passed :). I am working on carriers now, and a couple of special favors that I still have owing to some dear friends (a couple of which are WAY overdue *eek Ms E*) so I cannot say when I will be stocking again for certain. I am not running to a calendar at the moment, mainly because Im tired and needing to spend alot of time on the next step that Beetlebums is taking.
That and I have a quilt to finish for Miss Lola!
However, please do not fear there will be more coming, I just will not 'commit' myself to dates IYKWIM :). Could be tomorrow, could be next month, could be next week. Im just going with the flow :).
Pregnancy is growing fine, baby is kicking and we still do not know if we have a pink or blue bundle coming - gotta love surprises huh!? Im super excited, I keep saying that this is our last baby so I am trying to enjoy myself and take care of my body as best as I can.

Beetle Update!
Just a quick update...
Preorders are leaving daily now, and will be out by the end of the week.
Those who I have favors owing (you know who you are ;)) to, these are all being worked on and should be out by next Monday.
I have been experiencing some difficulties, and extreme exhaustion is part of this. Geez anyone would think I was 27 or so weeks pregnant! hahhaha
Also, just a little bynote - it will never be 'ok' for anyone to adapt their pattern to be more like a certain design of mine. That design is what MAKES MY NAPPY UNIQUE and nope, no matter how much time passes - it will never ever be 'ok'. The current 'trend' is NOT my construction technique, and if one considers it in their right mind they would understand that. If it is used, it is copying. Flat out. Im shocked, exasperated, exhausted and beyond gobsmacked right now, seriously - fair is fair.
See, to me, a custom nappy is a custom made only from my tried and tested design - NOT what another WAHM has worked hard to create. I would never ever resort to plagarising another WAHM for the sake of a custom.
Get high on your own supply. Please!

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*
