Nappycino fundraiser auction on Buyena

Tanya has organised Buyena auctions for donated goods, to raise some funds for Jo and the team at Nappycino - the auctions can be found here http://www.buyforbaby.com.au/otheritems.php?owner=237&nick=tangotanya

This is a fantastic cause - Nappycino is an excellent resource and support for the cloth nappy community!

I sent this off to Tanya last week, so it will probably go up sometime this week :) It's a Bamboo Velour Heaven Flexi pad + Booster : natural Bamboo Organic Cotton velour top, 2 layers 100% bamboo lightwgt fleece soakers, full layer of 100% OC jersey, back layer of Sweet Jane OC print. Booster is Sweet Jane print/Bamboo fleece/PUL. Engraved butterfly snaps to fasten :)

Happy bidding! :D

Thursday - more stock on Ozebaby

There will be some more stock to go on Ozebaby - I'll resize pics, write descriptions and set all to preview tonight if I get time... will change them to sale tomorrow (again if there is time).

Almost all BV Liners, but a few other bits too.

Reviews for Cloth Pads

It is so useful to read honest objective reviews of products (not just the ones you love), and there aren't a lot of cloth pad review boards around.

Here are a few I know of :

for Aus/NZ users :
http://www.nappycino.com.au (go to Product Reviews)

and for US/other users :
http://www.moonhutnaturals.com (go to Forums/Reviews) http://www.diaperpin.com (go to Reviews)

It would be fab to see more reviews out there - so if you have pads in your stash that you have an opinion on, take a few moments to post a review or two!

:D

Warranty for Rainbows pads

Recently I was contacted for the first pad return under warranty since I began selling Rainbows almost 2 years ago.

Although the customer had purchased them some time ago, she had only used them post partum, then started using them again recently and noticed a fault.

So I've decided to change Rainbows warranty to 3 months from date of purchase for regular use, and 6months from date of purchase for post-partum use. I hope this is a fairer way of offering warranty.

If you find a fault with any of your Rainbows pads within these warranty periods, please let me know so that I can help you by either repairing or replacing the product. Depending on how much sewing time I have, and the extent of the fault, we can discuss a result that will suit us both!

Thanks for all your feedback and support!

Em :)

Mod Green Pod fabrics

I've been lusting after these for a while now. Yum!

Butterflies and Rainbows

Isn't this Butterfly batik print beautiful? I managed to sneak a few other pads in with sewing tester pads and will try to get them onto Ozebaby this week... the Butterfly batik with natural Bamboo/OC Velour (Flexi pad + Purple PUL booster), and a few Liners in Rainbow flannelette/bamboo inner/natural 100% cotton Velour.

There are also a few leftover pads from the last stocking - it is very possible that I've miscounted b/c there were a lot of pads there. BUT if anyone finds there is something missing from their order, please contact me asap on moondancemama@hotmail.com (pretty certain that this isn't the case, but you never know!)

Gorgeous weather here today, so I'll be out in the garden this afternoon, will check emails tonight :)

Cheers
Em :)

Divacup!

Just had to say (again) how much I love my Divacup...

http://www.divacup.com

I wish I'd known about these when I was a teenager and had to go to swimming training at some ungodly hour with a horrible horrible disposable product jammed in my vagina and toe curling cramps... the joys of medieval boarding schools. If only I'd had the gumption to tell them to stick swimming training up their budgie smugglers...

Love my Diva cup :D

Velour cuts on Ozebaby

I'm selling off a bit more of my Cotton Velour stash :)

http://www.ozebaby.com.au/store.php?SS=4

Cotton velour (with greater than 70% cotton content) is lovely in nappies, wipes, pads, soft toys, pillows, kids clothes... gorgeous stuff to wear in winter, and so tactile and lush.

There are more colours available - please ask if you are looking for a particular colour, and I will try to help!

Ozebaby stocking finished

That is all the stock finished - a few auctions left to run, and a few boosters left instock, but until I get another chance to sew, that is it for a while :)



Thankyou to everyone! I hope you love your purchases, but if you have any questions or problems, please contact me :)


Cheers,
Em :)

Ozebaby orders shipping

Thanks for all your support!

We are still sick here, but everything else is going ok :)

All orders with cleared payments have been shipped yesterday and this afternoon - which is most of them :)

I will wait a bit longer to set the last stock to Live on Ozebaby, but have updated the quantities, so what you can see now is what is left. And added some auctions for the last PP/HeavyOvernight pads, for ppl who miss the stock going live...


And just for a little peek - a hemp blend print I bought over a year ago, when I bought my first Harmony Art prints... I'm working up to using it with some bamboo velour :)

Tuesday, D day

Life has a way of changing plans...

Today the only thing I had scheduled was attending a phone link-up with court, to hear my DIVORCE granted (hooray!!) ...it's almost like graduating, I was thinking I might frame the document and hang it next to my BHons certificate :)

The rest of today was for packing orders.

:)

But one of the boys was sick a few days ago, and is still recovering, but now the other is too - it's a viral something - temps over 40 but no infections... so a matter of waiting it out. Anyhoo, we have had some wakeful nights, vommitting in bed, the usual fun stuff - and now I am fighting off a headcold. So it is go-slow here :)

I'll keep working through shipping paid orders, but it may not be as quick as I had planned.

And there are more pads to list on Ozebaby, but I won't put them up till we are clear of this patch and caught up on existing orders.

Thanks for understanding :)

~Friday~

Still waiting on babyX to arrive!! :D

I've sorted through the stack of pads that will go up on Ozebaby, and I think that instead of loading them all over the weekend, I will load a few up every day, as well as having some listings set aside for first-time buyers - I hope that this allows new people and those with limited time/slow connection speeds to have a chance of buying something...

In other news, more beautiful hemp-silk arrived today, so I'm looking forward to sewing up some more pads with it - it is so lush teamed with Bamboo Velour!

Have a fab weekend :D

Thursday night

Still waiting on my sister's baby :)

But I'm almost done uploading pics for the Ozebaby stocking http://www.ozebaby.com.au/store.php?SS=4

Here is most of the colour range for this round of PostPartum pads - I love them! From L to R - Pink BV, Violet OCV, Purple OCV, Natural BV and Violet BV... the BV takes the dye so well, it has a gorgeous lustre that the pics can't capture...

Enjoy! :D

Ozebaby Restock

I've set an auction up on my Ozebaby store http://www.ozebaby.com.au/store.php?SS=4 and will change it to Active later today. In the meantime I will keep photographing, uploading and writing descriptions for the stocking, which I *hope* to have finished by Thurs evening... the listings will go live sometime over the weekend, so that people have plenty of time to see them before buying :)

In this stocking there will be :

- PostPartum pads - Bamboo OC Velour, hand dyed and natural; and hand dyed Organic Cotton Sherpa

- Liners - Bamboo OC Velour, hand dyed with quilting cotton prints

- Liners - Bamboo OC Velour, natural with Harmony Art prints

- Boosters - hemp/PUL, and cotton print/hemp/PUL

**BUT (the big but) - my sister is 38wks pregnant and is in hospital with high BP; she may be induced sometime soon, but we don't know yet. So if I am needed there, the stocking may be delayed... if so I will try to post on here to update timeframes.

Thanks for all your patience, hope you like these new pads, I'm still totally in love with Bamboo Velour!! This stuff is a bit special too - it is 70/30 Bamboo-Organic Cotton Velour, not commercial cotton... enjoy!!

Custom Order pics

A few pics of the custom order that I sent off today. The pics don't do the colours justice but I'll post some anyways ;) They are so pretty :)

In the end this is what I created :

(1) Post Partum of hand dyed Turquoise Bamboo Velour with bamboo soakers and a gorgeous batik print backing

(2) A Flexi of natural Bamboo Velour and Violet hand dyed hemp silk Charmeuse - gorgeous lustre and sooo soft!!

It was so much fun to do something special and different from the usual - thanks so much to the winning bidder for the opportunity! :D
