I got a plunger washer!

I got a mobile washer (hand operated washing machine) in the mail today. I'm going to use it to wash diapers for the Flats and Handwashing Challenge! I also ordered a few different of kinds of flats from Thanks Mama and Mom's Milk Boutique. 

Thanks Mama sells individual flats, along with the relatively hard to find Imse Vimse muslin flats.

If you buy a dozen flats from Mom's Milk Boutique and use coupon code COVER12 you get a free one size cover, for a limited time! I can't wait to see what I get.

I have some small hemp flats I can use as doublers, and will probably make myself a flat or two from bamboo... don't know yet. I may make myself a new diaper cover, too, if the urge strikes when I've got time.

The rules are (and this is not a complete list of rules, you can find those HERE) that you must use flats only, and you're only allowed to use (up to) 5 covers. Nighttime, you should try to make flats work, but if you can't, it's ok. You can use flushable liners but not a diaper sprayer.

When the challenge is over, feel free to come shop for some pocket diapers at my Hyena Cart store! They can be stuffed with the flats you just got done using, or the inserts that come with them. If you would rather get just the pocket shell and use your own insert or flat, email me and I will get you a custom listing up. 

Happy diapering!

Flats and Handwashing Challenge

I know, I make POCKET and FITTED diapers! But I am going to take the Flats and Handwashing Challenge. I'm sure I can do this. I have two in diapers but I think if I make a bucket and plunger washing machine my kids will even help wash the diapers. Sneaky? Yes, a little. ;)  Anyway, join me if you can!

Anyone there?

I know, I don't write much. I usually forget I even have a blog! But I am still here, every now and then.

News!

I have a Hyenacart store now where I can sell Clean B Detergent, if you're looking for some. I am selling dryer balls there too. The dryer balls are $5 each for a limited time. They are made differently from other balls out there- I knit a ball and put a ball of wool yarn inside it. That way it will never unravel and won't leave extra lint in your laundry. A set of 6 will save about 10 minutes on every 60 minutes of dry time.
I am going to make some changes in a few of my diapers, too. I've thrown trainers out the window because I am having so much trouble with them. Sorry.
Coming soon, bamboo pocket fitted diapers, great for overnight! And higher rise diapers with less snaps, for chunky babies with big thighs (or for bigger toddlers). Also, newborn AIO diapers with an umbilical notch and thigh snaps for those skinny little newborn legs. And sized pocket diapers:small, medium and large.
Keep checking my Facebook page and stores (Etsy and Hyenacart) for more news, since I keep forgetting to update this blog. :)

750 Fan Giveaway!

I'm going to do a really nice giveaway when I reach 750 Facebook fans. I will be giving a diaper, a nursing cover, some Clean B detergent, and some wipes bits and diaper balm from The Green Panda! Help me reach 750 fans by spreading the word!

Other news

I am also beginning to make some wool dryer balls, in case anyone is interested in trying them. I may even run a special on them for the first few buyers! Keep tuned here and on Facebook.

Testing, 1 2 3!

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.
