I'm excited to be testing some new products out!
The first is sized pocket diapers with hemp/cotton fleece and cotton terry inserts. These diapers are waterproof.
The second is one-size bamboo pocket fitted diapers, which comes with a set of inserts: a small bamboo only insert, and a large bamboo only or bamboo and hemp insert. These will need to have a cover over them.
And I'm still in the process of figuring out a good trainer pattern- it's giving me some trouble though.
Lastly, I've started making a few diapers with hook and loop closure, instead of snaps.
So far, all the feedback has been great!
I still need people to test Newborn and Small pocket diapers.

Training pants
I have just started working on my version of training pants. They are waterproof and I will be making them in pocket style and All-In-One style. They have snaps on the sides in case of emergencies. If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know! I will be asking for testers in January.

Send your friends!
I need more fans on Facebook so I can do a giveaway! And don't forget I do a lot of custom orders on pocket diapers... So let me know if you see something I've made in one of my photo albums and I can possibly make another similar item. Christmas is coming and cloth diapers and nursing covers make wonderful gifts!

Christmas Diapers- You want one, you know it!
If anyone wants a diaper like this let me know soon so it can be shipped and at your door before Christmas! I will include one hemp+zorb insert for $17, plus $2 shipping. (If you would rather get an overnight hemp+terry trifold insert, it's $19, with $3 shipping.) If I can get 5 orders, I will include a 4 load bag of Clean B with the 5th order!
My next giveaway!
Facebook has changed it's rules and I don't really understand them now, about giveaways. So I will be moving my giveaways here. I will do another one when I reach 20 more sales, 100 blog followers, and 750 Facebook fans. This is going to be a pretty nice giveaway, more than one item this time, so spread the word! The prize will kind of depend on what the winner needs, diaper/breastfeeding-wise. It could be a couple of fitted diapers and a cover, a nursing cover and nursing pads, or a couple of pocket or sleeve diapers!

I almost forgot I had a blog!
But due to Facebooks new rules, I will be using my blog more now- whenever I do a giveaway it will be based here. So keep up! ;)

I should write again, right?
I have been gone for a WHILE! So busy, with my daughter in school (which is making us all sick all the time- GRRRR), my baby, and my toddler- oh and making stuff! I've gotten a lot of diapers done, and a lot of nursing covers too. I even made a few sets of wool dryer balls too!
I will tell you how to make dryer balls now.
For each ball, you need about 50 grams of 100% wool yarn. Lion Brand Fisherman's (or something like that, you'll know it when you see it) wool works well.
Make a small ball (1" around or so) and sew the end of the yarn back into your little ball with a large holed yarn needle.
Repeat for as many balls as you need.
Put all the balls into the leg of a pair of tights you don't really like (or a knee-high, whatever!) and use non-wool yarn to separate the balls (tie between each one and at the end so the one at the open end doesn't fall out).
Then wash and dry them with a load of laundry, in tights as before or in a (tied shut) pillowcase- just not a white one, unless your yarn is white. And don't wash them with diapers (the lanolin in the wool can cause your diapers to repel- but you wouldn't do that anyway, would you? Common sense rules here- wash them in a load of not-so-dirty laundry!)
Then take them out and finish wrapping the yarn into (@50 gram each) balls.
Wash and dry them with another 2-3 loads of laundry.
Keep drying them with your laundry until there is no more sheep smell (another 2-3 dry cycles).
If there are any threads hanging off, cut them. Congratulations! They are ready to use!
Or you can buy some if that's too time consuming for you!
