CLEARANCE time!

I am going to take a break from diaper making for awhile, and with that in mind, would like to get rid of all my remaining instock items. EVERYTHING at my Etsy is CLEARANCED.

I have embroidered Minkee and specialty covers for $13, embroidered PUL pockets for $12, embroidered PUL and fleece covers for $10 and $12, pillowcase dress sets with pocket diapers for $20 and embellished UBIPFs for $1.50.

Some of the items are Christmas themed and I can get them out in time for you to have them for the holiday.

Little Princess Set

These two embroidered applique designs go so great together! These are the last of my YDME customs until I re-open in February. I hope you enjoy them Jessica!

Bum Genius.

Swedish Dala

When Mary emailed me about getting a custom cover made before I closed, I was happy to say yes. I love this design and think it looks great on Minkee! Merry Christmas Magnus!

Customs are closed

I am closing my customs list through the holidays and into 2010. My oldest son will be graduating from Marine boot camp in mid-January and then home for a couple weeks afterward, and I plan to spend as much time with him as possible.

I plan to re-open the customs list again around the first part of February. Look for some new items to be stocked at Etsy around this time as well! Gift certificate holders can contact me at any time to redeem their items of choice. :)

Our family wishes you and yours a beautiful and blessed Christmas, and a wonderful start to the New Year!

Christmas at HyenaCart

I have stocked Christmas covers at HyenaCart today. These will be the last of the pre-made things I will be making for quite awhile I think. Customs and YDME are much more fun for me, so I am going to concentrate on those for the rest of the winter. :) I am also going to be making yummy embroidered OBV baby blankets and prefolds...it will be a nice change from the 'norm'!

Look for these covers and about 5 others to be on HC through this week, and then I will be moving them over to Etsy with the autumn pocket dipes that are there. :)

A walker tote

A few Sunday's ago, I saw one of my 'grandma's' at church...she had acquired a walker to help her get around with a bit more stability. She had her handbag looped over the top of the walker which made moving a bit ungainly, so I told her I wanted to make her a tote.

I used these basic directions and made a nice tote which she was thrilled with yesterday when I delivered it. I didn't think to take my camera and get a photo with it attached to the walker, but it looked just like the one in the link above...just different fabrics!

It was fun and a nice change from diaper making...pun intended. ;)

Fun stuff for Adriana

Carolyn asked me to make a Skulls & Roses fitted diaper for her to match the cover I had up at Etsy, as well as a few wetbags to make using cloth easier at Adriana's preschool. Carolyn picked half a dozen designs and then gave me artistic license to choose which design to match with the PUL. I think they turned out so cute!

Waterproof PUL cover with fleece inner & print fitted.

2 full OBV layers with a hidden 2 layer OBV sewn-in soaker & a 4 layer lay-in soaker.

Rear of fitted

Side snapping fitted with leaf green snaps

Embroidered waterproof PUL wetbags with drawstring and cord stop.

Wetbags are personalized for Miss Adriana!

I will print postage tonight and they will be on their way to you first thing in the morning. Enjoy!

Covers for Jena

When I told Jena that I was probably going to be hanging up my diaper making hat after Christmas, she thought maybe she should get a few 3d covers and decided on these cute designs! I will have them out to you this afternoon. :) Thank you again Jena...I hope the larger sizing works for your daughter!

Halloween Goodies

I just listed six new pocket diapers for Halloween at my main store, deebleDdo, and have a few other Autumn themed diapers available for sale there and at Etsy. I also stocked three diaper covers today at Avant-Garde. These will be the last of the diapers until November when I will have some covers for Christmas.

Have a peek below to see some of my recent goodies!

Her majesty

Renee found this cute knit fabric, I had some pink knit gingham, and together they make a darling reversible swing dress! Add three matching embroidered Bum Genius to the mix and you have a great set! I love how it all looks together. :) I hope you love it too Renee!




And thus, the last of my custom sewing orders is complete. Read the post below for my latest store and customs updates!

On sale at Etsy...and another update!

I have put everything at my Etsy on sale! Please take a minute to see if there is anything you might like. :) My store update is below the Etsy Mini...

Well, it has finally happened!! We have been licensed for 3, and I am clearing out my sewing room to make space for our new foster children! It's a big job moving all my fabrics, machines, and tables...and it will take me awhile to get everything set back up in my new, much MUCH smaller space. In light of that, my sewing break is going to extend a bit longer than originally planned. I apologize, but there is just too much going on here at home for me to have any extra time to devote to custom sewing orders right now.

That being said, I will remain open for YDME customs but please expect turnaround time to be one week from receipt of your diapers until they are complete and ready to be returned to you. I will also continue to stock a few items on the 4th Monday of each month at Avant-Garde, so if you haven't checked out this great congo of WAHM's, please take a minute to look at the talent and browse their shops!

So curious!

Doesn't everyone love Curious George? He was one of my childhood favorites! It was fun to put him on these Bum Genius pocket diapers.

Yuko, the dipes are done, but I am not going to be able to finish the shorts or wetbag today like I thought I could. We have a training class to go to at 5pm and I have homework to finish for it. I will get them done tomorrow, take more pics and update the post tomorrow before I send them out.

*Edited to add the rest...and I'm sorry for the delay! Here they are!

Front of board shorts

Back

I made the wetbag with a zippered top and a snapping strap so you can hang it over the doorknob or wherever! It is 13" x 15" so should be plenty big enough for 6 or more cloth diapers. It has a PUL waterproof inner and you can pull it out to wipe it clean or for a quick spot wash.

The wetbag

Unzipped

I will get everything back out today on my way to take the boys to the pool.

Some updates

At the end of June I will be closing for new custom sewing orders until August. I will still be taking YDME (your diapers, my embroidery) orders on a first come first serve basis as well as listing pre-made items at my Etsy shop and both WAHM Nation and Avant-Garde congos once each month. The links are in my sidebar.

Crabby Abby

When you have a Crabby Abby, what could be more fun than to put it on a Bum Genius pocket diaper for all to see? lol I think the applique fabric you chose was the best one, Tasha...it looks really cool in person. :)

I hope you like them both...I will have them out in the mail for you tomorrow!

Sports Collaboration

This waterproof cloth diaper cover is just one of the items that will be stocked at Avant-Garde on June 15th...it's part of a sports collaboration lottery that will include a clutch-ball, onesie, and burp cloth from Amy @ Ellie Jayne Designs, a sherpa cloth fitted diaper from April @ Joyful Baby, and a pair of soft-sole baby shoes from Kristin @ Adorned by Kristina Kate.

Mark your calendars for 8PM EST, June 15 and be at Avant-Garde for our Grand Opening and your chance to shop and win!

BG embroidered fluff

Hey Cheryl...these Bum Genius are ready to be back on their way to you! Such fun designs. :) Pig in the tub looks a little washed out...pun intended! lol He is a bit brighter in person!

I centered your marks and added the snaps...in colors to match the embroidery. :) Are you sure you don't want me to go ahead and add the others?

Fun summer dress sets!

I love making things for little girls. Being in a house full of boys (well mostly boys), it is fun to live vicariously through others! I don't think I have mentioned here on the blog that our family is being licensed for foster care which should be finalized by the end of July. Maybe I will foster a little girl? One thing is for certain...if I care for any little girls, they will not lack for cute clothes and dipes!

These dress sets go for sale at 3d ~ deebleDdo this Friday!

Hog Heaven

Every August in Sturgis, South Dakota there is a rally. Not just any rally, but the largest organized motorcycle rally in the United States...probably even the world. The Sturgis Rally draws huge crowds each year (6,000+)...the vast majority of which are Harley riders, but there are others...dirt bikers, street sport riders, racers of all types and experience levels.

Being sport bikers (my hubby and I each have a Kawasaki Ninja), Sturgis has never been of real interest to us...but we have friends who ride Harley's, one of which is my husbands boss. My hubby has been after me to make a skull cap as a gift for said boss, so when I saw this rally fabric, I knew it was a winner! Modeled here by my hubby...


I am really liking making fun, non-dipe related things! I think I may make some dresses tomorrow!

Tie a ribbon

Jennifer wanted a dress set that would have some meaning...pink for breast cancer awareness and yellow for those waiting on our soldiers to come home. Gingham on little girls is just darling, so we thought this might work perfectly for her and her daughter!

Charise asked me if I could make a special dipe for her daughter to wear when daddy comes home from deployment. Only a few weeks to go now!
