Twins In Cloth Custom - How Lucky Am I!

Back when the Great Down Under Nappy Hunt was on i entered a comp on the Twins in Cloth website, you just had to fill in a survey about cloth nappies & you went in the draw to win a custom Twins in Cloth nappy. Well...i didnt win any nappies in the GDUNH - but i did win the custom!

Being as indecisive as i am in couldn't decide what i wanted, so i gave Julie a couple of ideas about what i like & this is what she came up with (from left to right - front, back, inner):



I love it! its absolutely fantastic! Its got 3 layers of bamboo fleece sewn in the nappy & a lay in booster with another 2 layers of bamboo fleece & 1 layer of suede cloth. Its my first front snapper (well, i do have one NB fitted front snapping nappy, but thats beside the point!) & its so trim! Heres some action shots:How cute is it?!? I love it soooooooo much - THANKS JULIE!!!

If you want a fantastic nappy like this one then make sure you check out the Twins in Cloth website (current stock is here while website renovations are taking place) they have other stuff to, so go on - have a look!

Jet, Joe & Picky Pants

As promised (for once) here are some shots of Jet & Joe hangin out, Jets also wearing his matching picky pants (cause everyone needs pants with a matching caterpillar!). Look how clever my little boy is, he can stand up without anything around him, think he's been doing it a week or so now, im pretty sure he started while we were on holidays. I guess that means life is about to get more tiring cause people are telling me he is probably going to start walking in a couple of weeks.I highly recommend Joe as a toy for kids, Jet absolutely loves him. Cause he is long & bulby he can fling him round everywhere & try & bit his tail, head or antennae off (what ever he is in the mood for).
Think im going to have to make another Joe for my cousuns new little bub! He is so quick & easy to make & such a great toy!!!

Picky Pants in Action

Here's a couple of shocking action shots of the picky pants i knitted jet. The were taken on my phone camera cause we are going on hols in a couple of days & rocky has already packed the camera & i cant find it! Sorry, they are a little blurry where it counts.

This is jets funny crawling technique by the way:

I just thought this one was cute & you can see the picot edging in it too (kinda):That's it! Sorry the pics are so shocking!!!

First Ever Longies Finally Complete

I finally got around to finishing the longies pattern i started ages ago. I actually finished the knitting side of it when we were on our trip to byron a couple of months ago but i lost my yarn needle (lame excuse i know) & couldn't sew up all the little bits & pieces. So i finally got around to buying another yarn needle & here they are! I was going to do a little picture thingy on the legs (embellishment or something are they called?) but that would have probably taken me another couple of months & as it is i think they are only going to fit jet for about 5 minutes anyway.

Originally i was going to attempt the picky pants pattern from little turtle knits but somehow i got the longies one. I now have the picky pants one too though so i might give that one a go next. I think one of the legs is slightly shorter than the other but apart from that they look pretty good for a first attempt.

i just looked over at jet while I'm typing this & saw him pull the needle out of the latest project - oh joy! how do they get to be so quick!!! Anyway, here's some action shots: They still need to be lanolised but apart from that they are good to go. If anyone has any suggestions for little projects that are still interesting but don't take to long to do id love to hear them. I need a couple of quick projects to motivate me!

...cause you can never have enough

Bubblebubs that is!!! I finally got around to taking some action shots, these are probably the worst action shots ive taken but in my defence the floor was covered in toys (& just general mess) so i was trying to take them on the couch, camera in one hand while the other hand was attempting to stop jet stacking it onto the tiles (successfully im sure you'll be glad to hear).





& heres close ups of all 3 minky bubblebubs:

Baby Beehind Magic-All's are here!!!

My Baby Beehind Magic-Alls arrived - YAY!!! They are nice & compact, great for the nappy bag!

Here they are:

1 got 2 x Medium (blue & purple) & 2 x Large (orange & green). The larges wont fit Jet just yet, they are meant to fit from 11kg & he is about a hundred grams shy of 10kg.

& a pic of my babies beehind (lol - can you tell im one of those people that laughs at their own unfunny jokes!)
Good fit!
& just cause this one was cute i had to put it in...well technically it could be an action shot, you can still see a snippet of the nappy ; )

oh & if your wondering why his hair is all funny its cause i took the pics last night just after his bath.

Bubblebubs - YAY!

I couldn't resist the sale that was on at bubblebubs recently - just had to grab a couple more since these would have to be one of my favourite nappies. Heres some pics:

I got 2 x Larges & 1 x Medium (the green one). Just cause Jet can fit into the larges now, even though they are a little big & i want to have some nappies that still fit him when hes bigger. Think I got a bit carried away since i ended up with the same crocodiles on two of them, but still! I LOVE the orange space one - cute!

Heres some action shots & no Jet isn't crawling yet, but if i put him on his hands & knees he stays there long enough for me to snap a few shots off ;)

Blueberrylicious

I got my Blueberry nappies today - YAY!!! (but why is rocky always home when i get fluffy mail - busted!). They were buy 2 get 1 free & postage was only $2 because their postage calculator was broken - bargain!

They are so lush. i got 3 OSFA (one size fits all) pockets, two minky & one PUL with snaps.

Heres some pics:











These are the inserts. The first pic is of it un-snapped & the second pic is snapped & ready to stuff. Great system, just one long insert that you fold into 3 & snap to the chosen size (depending on if your stuffing it into a S, M or L nappy.











Heres a pic of the range of sizes the nappy has. You just snap down the front. I have two other pockets that do this too - the BumGenious & the Haute, but these ones do it the neatest i think.
