I had some free time on my hands yesterday and instead of mopping the kitchen floor (which is what I should have done) I decided to use the Paris fabric that I've been wondering what I was going to do with. Since I already made my older daughter a dress with scooter fabric I decided to make Tweedle Dee a dress. But I couldn't decide whether I wanted a peasant dress or an apron dress...so I did both. haha It's almost Parisian Alice in Wonderlandish. I don't know, but I like it! I have enough fabric to make one or two more, I'll probably get it listed today or tomorrow. If there is enough interest I'll get more fabric to make more of them. By the by, I also put her chocolate ruffle pants underneath the dress and suddenly it's perfect for winter too...
I also realized that I don't have very many pictures of the Nora Apron Top and since I had already busted out the chocolate corduroy ruffles (though they are admittedly getting shorter on her - what's up with that?) I figured I would take some pictures of her in that as well.
What, you say? Yes, cloth diapering is making a comeback. And these aren't the leaky diapers that our grandparents were forced to use. Gone are the days of stinky diaper pails, plastic pants and diaper pins. Today's cloth diapers are downright fashionable and convenient, not to mention super absorbent and CUTE!
That being said...I don't make cloth diapers. Don't fret, though, because I have you hooked up! Go to: http://clothisthenewdiaper.wordpress.com/ and see what is new in the cloth diapering world. You won't believe what you're missing!
Now, you might ask, how is the clothing world accommodating all these fluffy bottomed babies in their cloth diapers? Well, you had to know I was going to fit in here somehow. It would seem that this is, for the most part, an untapped market that I plan on diving into headfirst. I am planning to roll out my new clothing line specifically made for cloth diapered babies! Not sure what to name it yet...perhaps I'll put out a poll so you guys can give me your input. Be on the lookout for it and please vote!
When I first started the Crazy Daisy Baby Boutique I only had two products: CuddlePod Mei Tai carriers and Fuzzy Wuzzle bonding blankets. Obviously people eventually wore me down and I began making clothes, but this last week has been a week of mei tais and bonding blankets and not really anything else, so I figured I'd blog on that!
It would be unprofessional of me to advertise like this, but I can say it here. Fuzzy Wuzzles are crack for babies. There, I said it. I'm totally serious, though. I swear I make it out of fabric and don't add any addictive agent to it, but almost every baby I've ever made one for falls hopelessly in love with their blanket. I've had more repeat orders for these things than I can count. There are some babies who love their blankies so much that their moms order several of them JUST IN CASE! They are the secret to sleeping sucess and they are small enough to take anywhere. Not to mention (though I am about to) that they are just plain cute.
If you've read my bio (and I wouldn't blame you if you didn't because that thing is long!) you might have read that I first started making the CuddlePods when I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I admit I am pretty picky and I was looking for just the right mei tai carrier. I wanted it to be pretty, but also functional. I wanted my newborn to be as comfortable as my 3 year old. Needless to say, (but, again, I'm about to) I couldn't find it anywhere and I looked long and hard. Finally I broke down and began working on a pattern for my "dream" carrier. It has evolved over the years and is now streamlined to perfection. Well...near perfection, anyway!
