About Me

My photo
I have been married for 6 years now, stay at home with my two wonderful boys (2 1/2 and 5 mo). I also watch 5 other children in their home part time. I cloth diaper both of my boys, using hand knit, by me, wool covers and prefolds. I try and make a lot of our food from scratch and hopelessly fail at keeping house, but I try.

REdiaper Sale and upcoming events!


I had such a great time at Circle Me last Saturday! Of course it took the rest of the weekend to recover, and Monday I was in no condition to blog (you don't want to know what Dizzy did to my freshly clean and folded laundry ~note to self: always put it away the minute you're done folding it!!!). But today, I am!! And it's Woolie Wednesday of course!!

The morning started off nicely with my parents showing up with fresh Starbucks and the biggest apple fritter on the face of the planet. I was too embarrassed to eat it, because it was THAT big, but it made a great reward for a long month of working on soakers. I met so many nice people who really put a lot of thought and care into what they want touching babies skin! And I thank those that purchased from my booth and look forward to seeing pictures of their little ones sporting their new fluff! There were also some custom orders placed. . . and let me tell you, it is so much more fun looking for sweaters for a specific baby!! I didn't walk away a millionaire by any means but I did get a good start!

Since then I've been real busy getting custom orders ready. One will surely inspire a new product line for The Sleepy Sheep and I look forward to launching that soon! Many of us don't think twice about putting cloth on our babies bums. . . but what if the tables were turned? I plan on writing a post on some woolie options for adults next week!!

Due to some awesome networking going on I have become involved in a giveaway towards the end of April with Brynns Boutique!! I can't wait for that one!! This is going to be the month of giveaways as I plan on donating some to Circle Me for their Earth Day event and the prizes they will be handing out. There are other exciting giveaways coming up soon as well!!

So it's time to crack down on getting things ready to go for the REdiaper sale at Circle ME on April 2nd. I mean we have less than two weeks to go, right? Next Saturday I"m giving a presentation on wool during their Cloth Diaper class, and I"m really excited. But, I don't have a lot of things done that need to be done!!! I have to gather up some things to bless my booth with. . . such as a display, I like the one here, but I"ll make mine out of pvc pipe and paint it, using a ribbon to string across ;) I need something to store stuff under the table in, and something to cover the table with! I need to get a hold of a cash box as well and pay for my booth fee. I also need to make up another dozen or more butt sweaters. Especially since a friend of mine is stopping by today to purchase something beautiful for a friend of hers whose baby is due this week, plus placing an order for some more!

So, because I tend to be more motivated if I know people will expect an update. . . I will update you on my progress at the end of my Wooly Wednesday post ;) Of course, that's another thing I have to do. . . find a wooly topic and write about it!!! I'm thinking maybe health issues that make the use of wool for babies through adulthood a benefit ;)
