Pocket diapers coming soon, I promise!!

After finishing up the week’s Made to Orders, I’ve made good progress on finishing up those pocket diapers I promised for earlier in the week. It’s looking like I should be able to get them done either Monday or Tuesday, and listed by the time I go to bed Tuesday, if not earlier. A lot [...]

Spring Babywearing Sale, on now!

Spring often marks a return to babywearing for many families – we’ve spent the winter huddled in our homes, dashing to and from the car as quickly as possible, and definitely not going on family walks. It’s time to treat yourself to a new carrier for the new season! To celebrate spring Babywearing, we’re putting [...]

Another cute babywearing picture

Thursday and Friday last week were really nice weather here. 74 on Thursday, not quite that on Friday. Friday, we took a walk as a family after daddy got home from work. Genna fell asleep on my back in the wrap.

And Wally played with his shadow.
For the record, by the time we got home, we [...]

Beautiful Day Today

(cross posted at Boulevard Designs.)
It was 71 degrees out today, a stunningly beautiful day amid a week of 40s and predicted weekend back in the 40s. Both children are still coughing, but nobody seems on the brink of death at this point, and we were all eager to get outside. We went to the zoo [...]

Knit Jersey Wraps

Alright, I’ve just listed some knit jersey wraps, Wallypop brand. I’ve received so many requests over the years for these, and finally found some jersey that was just what I wanted. It’s lightweight, and stretches ONLY along the width.
The wraps are serged along the edges, and most are in 5 yard lengths. This fabric is [...]

First Ride on Mama’s Back

We went for a walk earlier this week – it was up around 50, and you just can’t pass that up!
This was Genna’s first ride on mama’s back, and also I think swayed me towards “Genna thinks I’m boring in the sling” as the reason that Genna’s not a huge fan of being worn when [...]

Sling Training Program

I have Genna on what I jokingly call the Sling Training Program. Thing is, the girl doesn’t like the carriers when she’s awake most of the time. She wants to be held. In my arms.
I have two theories about this.
1. She was so small at birth, and she had so much room in the womb, [...]

In the pouch, asleep

This is Genna sleeping through the Superbowl.

She’ll take much longer naps if she’s being worn. This was actually part of my Sling Training Program for Genna, and she fell asleep. Note how she’s got her feet tucked inside the pouch, and she’s upright, with the back of the pouch coming up to her neck for [...]

Bad Sling Wearing (ring sling)

So I had Miss G sleeping in the ring sling a few weeks ago, then she woke up. I was getting bath water ready for Wally so thought I might just as well throw Genna in the bath, too.  So I loosened up the rings to get hre out of the carrier, and was walking [...]

Isn’t this beautiful?

It turned out a bit different from what I planned, but I LOVE it. Fortunately, so does the customer! This is a custom-dyed wrap, 7 yards long, white fabric and Brilliant Blue and Chocolate Brown dye. Yum!!! I couldn’t resist tossing it on and taking a few pictures before handing it over to its new [...]
