I am currently cuddling Elvis Jones, my kitty. He gets jealous when I take my hands off to type, so I will make this quick.
Bella is off of school for an extended weekend. It is nice to have her home for more than a couple of days. We had plans to visit my Grandparents today. My Grandpas health is failing so I thought we would go cheer him up.
Plans changed when we woke up early to welcome over my nieces who were also off of school today. I would have taken them all with me, but Ems was sick and I didn't think it would be a good idea to take her. Of course then it wouldn't be right to leave her behind so I went alone.
It was a nice visit. I rarely get to see them these days. I am going to take them out to lunch next week if he is feeling up for it.
When I got home the house was in total disarray and everyone was hungry. sigh
I had everyone help me clean up and got dinner on the table.
Good news is that I some how managed to get 5 diapers done. Hopefully I will be able to ship them out tomorrow.
3 more orders from the co-op to go!
It is now 10:30 and tomorrow is going to be bananas so I better go get some sleep.
Quick shout out to my girl Summer who had a beautiful baby boy yesterday!
Succesful Sunday Sewing
I completed an order of 3 sized fitteds for the coop on BBC and another couple that I will be listing on ETSY within the week. The coop diapers are more than half way finished. I will be stocking on ETSY as much as possible.
Although I enjoy Hyena Cart I find it hard to find time to upload pictures and list more than one or two at a time these days. I do plan on listing a few now and then and you can always find Bubble Butt Diapers at WAHM Nation every month on the 10th.
I will not listing anything tonight, because honestly, I am wiped. Joe is working a solid 8 days this week and the kids are pretty much a full time job and a half on the weekends. No complaints here though, lol I like keeping busy

Smoothies
I came across a link to the Bulk Herb Store last week. And since I am always trying new things to boost my health I thought I would give it a try. The Daily Boost Herba- smoothie sounded good so I bought that one.
Day one I made a smoothie with the ingredients in the video. Strawberry, mango, orange concentrate, yogurt and a bit of kale.
Tasty, though I think I need a better blender. The kale didnt blend well so, it was hard to swallow.
Day two I made it with a banana, yogurt, half cup of orange juice and a few slices of mango. Yum! I love banana and it went down nice and smooth. Mia even liked it. I added more yogurt to hers so she could use a spoon.
The mix itself is ground very fine and has no taste. Gotta love that! I have never really been a fan of smoothies or shakes, but I think I will keep this up. It takes less than 5 minutes to prepare and it sure beats cold cereal.

What Lovely Weather Dear
We woke up to another cold/wet morning.
Saturdays should be sunny. Isn't that a rule?
No? Well it should be. I am so over these gray, sloppy days. We braved a walk in the woods last week. It was a gorgeous 50 degrees. It should have been wet and muddy but it wasn't! There was still snow on the ground. Protected by the towering trees.
Had my camera battery not died half way through the hike, I would have come out of there with a few stunning shots. There was one pathway, near the edge of the woods, where the sun shone bright through the trees. Bella stopped up ahead to play with something she found in the snow. all around her the trees left a ladder of shadows that went on and on. It would have been neat to get a B&W! but the most beautiful thing about the seen was watching her enjoy the sun and the nature around her.
I am really wishing we were there today. Though by now the snow must be mostly gone. The mud in it's place.
I had a dream that I made a baseball tee shirt with this fabric
All I need is some white and yellow knit to make it. It Should be pretty cute. Don't you think?

I'm bringing the wovens back
They have a bad rap
oh yes, I am bringing the wovens back
Woven prints in last two years in the diaper world have been misrepresented. Sure, everyone has their preferences, but really when done right, woven print diapers rock.
Extraordinary fabric companies and designers like Alexander Henry, Amy Schimler, Robert Kaufman, Amy Butler and so many more.
I built my original fabric stash off of obscure fabric companies and ETSY with these companies. The main reason why I switched to knits is because the cloth diaper market called for it. I have realized over time that I decide what I create with and what I would like to work with is more of these prints. I was limiting myself with the "popular" shiz. Not that I am against knits! My fabric stash revolves around my taste. I love every single print I have, but I am limiting myself with knits and fading into what every other seller has.
So... I am going to do me. (Typed a crooked half grin) and OMG I am in heaven. Just you wait......

Getting My Sale On
All diapers listed at bubblebuttdiapers.com are on sale. $20 and under. Even the HTF Kumquat prints! and remember October is all about the free shipping!
I very much stink at blogging
I have been sewing like a mad woman the last two months. Both personal projects and diapers for sale. I am trying to work out a pattern for trainers. This project is long over due. Neither of my daughters enjoys wearing a diaper..ever.
Anyone that uses a Bubble Butt diaper knows I like em trim. So the trainers have to be even trimmer and yet effective at catching the little oops that happen.
I have also been working on clothing for the girls. I hope to make all of their spring and summer clothes.
I am what you would call pattern stupid, so I have to make all my own patterns. This has seemed to be a great thing for me. I end up with a better fit with every project and since I have learned the ins and outs of different fabrics I tend to have less adjustments to make.
As far as life, life is cold. The weekend was just lovely though. A pleasant 50 degrees and sunny. A wonderful change from the last few weeks. I was beginning to think that mother nature is not a fan of Wisconsin. I still have much yard work to get done before the snow hits. A big sorry man to the neighbor next door that mows his lawn at least twice a week and makes sure that EVERY SINGLE leaf is removed. I would rather play! Eh, the yard looks decent. The leaves haven't fallen yet so we are good. LOL Once they fall, they go in bags for the compost
As for diapers.. Here are a few on sale!

My Store Is Stocked
Between custom orders and playing outside with my girls, I have managed to make a few diapers. I will have a couple more up in size Large next week.
I am also stocking on the 14th of June at WAHM NATION! A congo filled with lovely crafters. We are all members at Cloth Diaper Nation. You should check it out, if you haven't all ready!

It's a Twofer!
First I would like to say, GOOD LUCK JESSICA! Her baby boy is due any day.
I have been taking it easy the past week. I love custom orders, but sometimes I need a break. I am still sewing of course. A couple of side projects for the house and a few diapers that I will hopefully stock someday. I have this thing about not stocking one or two at a time. Dont't ask me why
I really need to get dinner going, but I wanted to share a few from the last week.

About Freaking Time!
I love winter. I really do. I look forward to the first snow and maybe even the second and third. But this year I am over it. This year we were teased endlessly. A warm day here and there and then more bitter cold. and the flu that never ends..it goes on and on my friend.. TORTURE. We are not sick people. Well, we weren't, but it feels like we have been battling something or other all winter.
I keep saying winter like it is still February. It is April 17th.
So finally we get what we have been waiting months for. Not just sun, we have gotten plenty of that, but heat! 65 yesterday and 75 degrees today.
There was no way we were sitting home
Unfortunately it supposed to rain on Sunday and Monday. That's okay, we need the rain. Joe is off on a two week vacation. Our 9th anniversary is on Monday. We are spending the night alone. And for the rest of the week I hope to get some gardening done. If the weather permits...arg! Pirate Sara says it better.

I love this show
Lost is on, so I thought I would update my blog while I sit here. How is it that Jack, Kate and Hurley end up in a different place than the rest of the passengers.
hmm
Here are all the fitteds that went out last week.
A couple of them were hard to let go. hehe

Larges
I received a yard of fabric from a customer for 3 OS fitteds and that will be my next project for the week and hopefully a decent stocking of all sizes.
Thanks for reading!

Customs List
I am all caught up. I have a few packages to get out and then I will be focusing on getting diapers ready to stock in my shop. My fabric closet is over flowing. I am going to have a hard time deciding which prints to use. I love them all. I have at least 20 different prints that I have yet to use.. this is bothering me. LOL
I got a new sewing machine last week. Getting to know a new machine is a necessary process. It works the same as my old one, but we are not one yet. Ok that sounds silly. I have been using the other one every day for 2 years so it will take some time.

Customs
The regularly scheduled Monday stockings have not been so regular. A long customs list and having to be up at 6 am most days does not leave me with as much time to sew as I would like. I will have to skip this week, but hopefully I will have more up next week. There are still quite a few in stock
I have an order for 20 smalls that I have been working on. I cant wait to show them off. I think I will post what I have done tonight.
Here are a few other diapers that I have recently finished..

For the girls
I forgot to show off the adorably comfy ponchos I made in December.
I made two patterns but I have to say, I like the sweetpea version a lot better. More room for movement.

I have been pretty busy since the last time I updated my blog.
and this just because it is cool. You wouldn't think it is common to see a halk in the city, but this one visits our neighborhood regularly.It was in my yard for about 4 hours

Mondays Stocking
I doubt I will be stocking on Monday. I want to get a few custom orders out.
Today am having a garage sale and tomorrow is the Packer Family Night. I am very excited to go to that. I have never been to Lambeau. I hope the weather is nice

Bubble Butts in Action! Pictures Wanted
I need to update my bubble butts in action section. I would also like to add a few to my home page and since I have one wiggly baby and a toddler that does not like to sit for pictures, I thought maybe some of you bubble butt owners could help me out. Submit a photo and if chosen for a slide show here in my shop, you will receive a 50% discount and if you submit a photo and it is chosen for my main site, you will get a free custom diaper.
I am looking for clear shots of a baby/toddler having fun, sporting their bubblebutt.
