busy bee

well I've been busy lately.

On the weekend Renee and I went to the local markets and had a stall for her nappies. It was a little slow this week but I sold two things which was great.
I picked up some yummy watermelon scented home made soap which is just beatifull. I need to get more.

I have been making household cleaning products lately. The laundry detergent is going well, although I am trying to work out the best way to make it to wash nappies, atm I am just using normal detergent for those and the home made for all our clothes/towels etc
The multi purpose cleaner is great also..Love the smell of lemon :D hehe

anyways so I have been tie dyeing. I recieved my bamboo fleece in the mail yesterday so had to start creating with it. I also had some bamboo terry and hemp fleece as well. So am in the process of making 8 nappies all up, Just waiting on another metre of hemp fleece to get here and I'll be completely set to start sewing. I am using the very baby side snapper pattern for these but I plan to turn and topstitch them :D as I don't have a working overlocker atm.

So here are the nappy cuts all dyed and ready to go. I am so excited, they will look very funky!!!












This cute outfit came in the mail today, another from Blue Banana Babes, very very cute stuff!!!! and extremely reasonable prices!!!!



I also got my other butterfly tattooed yesterday. Its quite ouchies at the moment and I stink of bepanthen. Everything sticks to me...LOL But it looks great so I am really happy!!!




I have 900g of various wool coming in the mail. 200g from Dyelicious, a custom and some from Kelly's clearance sale, 300g of corridale yarn for a pair of longies and a curly purly soaker, then 400g from the NZ wool company of watermelon and orchid so I can make up some funky, cheap longies for miss Lucy. Gosh I can't wait for it all to arrive I have been itching to knit.
I am joining in the longies swap on Woolaholics which is fun, I am pretty sure I have the wool that I will use. I had originally bought it for something else but I think it might turn out to be perfect for this swap.

anyways lots of dye mess to clean up...hehe
