NEW!! Funky Night Side Snappies!!

I have been working on a new Night nappy, and have come up with something really funky!!

It's a side snapper, made from a sherpa inner, a hidden layer of Malden Mills Windpro fleece and an outer of patterned fleece. It utilises my ingenious double booster system - the bottom booster is made up of 2 layers of microfibre sandwiched between 2 layers of french terry hemp, and the top booster is 2 layers of microfibre sandwiched between a layer of french terry hemp and a layer of sherpa, so it's nice and soft against bub's butt but also really absorbent yet trimmer than my previous night nappies. Best of all, the water repellent windpro fleece not only means no wicking, but you don't need a cover!!

And because I have taken away the sewn in absorbency and lay in booster, and replaced these with my snap-together-snap-in booster (double booster system), the shell actually dries alot quicker than before (as with my AI2's of the same design!) so rather than having a large stock of nappies, it's more cost effective to stock up on BOOSTERS!!

Initial tests of these nappies have seen them last 12 - 14 hours overnight with NO LEAKS!! :D

Limited quantities will be available at my FIRST MAJOR STOCKING of 2010, towards the end of January!!

Consolidation and new things!

In an attempt to make my life run a little more smoothly, I have decided to consolidate all of my blogging to one place .... previously my business blog was hosted elsewhere, but I have had a great experience with my personal blog here, so I think I'll keep both in the one place!

I have recently made a custom order nappy / cover for a loyal friend and customer, for her daughter to wear on Christmas day, complete with a tutu and little leggies that she made herself. Seeing it all together, I approached her to discuss a collaboration of efforts, to sell as sets on my website, so I am about to put it out there and find out if anyone would be interested in these gorgeous sets for special occasions (the next being EASTER sets!!)


The detail on the cover (which thanks to my double booster system can also be worn as a nappy), is as follows ...



I am also looking at producing bibs based on (again) a collaborative design of ours, with the possibility of adding these to the sets as well ....

Anyway, I am hoping that the new year will bring a fresh approach to the way I do things around here - there are a few changes happening personally, so it only stands to reason that there be business changes too! I am really looking forward to a fresh start!
