My busy Saturday!




So, I didn't get any studying today but I did finish an order for my friend Amber. I also mad a newborn cover from my brand new pattern. It's so cute! Here's my big guy with his new teeth! We've got a few more to cut before mom can get some sleep again.

What's coming down the pike






Last night I finished serging some cloth wipes for my friend in Des Moines. I wish I would have done this when we first started cloth diapering. One side is flannel the other is velour. I'm seriously considering selling off all my wipes and making some more of these for myself.

The cover is for my friend Amber who is due in September. She likes animal print and made this cover with gussets to help contain the newborn poo. It turned out great! I will be making her 10 covers and 5 all-in one's. I've got another huge order for a mom due in October and one coming for a November baby. I'm thankful to have the extra time since I will be starting class next week. I'm a little nervous about getting everything done but I'm sure I will find a way. Either that or buy stock in Starbucks!

Amber's Business in the News!

A few weeks ago I was a panel member for a local cloth diapering event. It went very well and I got to share so much! Well, I received a call from our local paper shortly after to interview me for an article they were doing. Here is the article if you'd like to read it. Well, business has been very good since it came out. I've gotten lots of local interest in my diapers and have received about 5 orders. Its all VERY exciting!

This fall, along with work and making diapers I will be taking classes to get my high teaching certificate. In a few years yours truly will be teaching high school French. So, life is going to get REALLY busy REALLY fast. Wish me luck!

Starting Tuesday we are off to the Iowa State Fair, but before I go I need to finish a Huskers and Colorado Buffaloes diaper and sew up some cloth wipes for a friend of mine. I will definitely get those posted. Have a great day!

Our new diaper bag!



Well, I have sewn a few things in the last couple of weeks (4 diaper covers, 6 diapers, and 2 wetbags) but have yet to take some pictures. BUT, here is a hanging diaper bag I made for us to use on the stroller at the Iowa State Fair next week.
