. . . and the action shot.

I finally got some action shots last night of Justin in his new diaper.  He either wants right up in the camera, or to playfully run away from it, so it is kind of hard to get a good shot, but these are the two pictures that I snapped that didn't come out blurry.  I also shipping off two packages today.  One was an ACU diaper cover to a mama here in Kansas.  I'm thinking she is right near Ft. Riley based off the mailing address.  The other package was to a Canadian mama.

Today I'm working on a custom Navy diaper cover, and then I want to try making some ACU soft soled shoes, to add to my collection.  We'll see how that goes, and of course, I'll past pics here as I finish them.

Here it is!

I got the pictures of the diaper I made for Justin loaded up this morning, so here it is.  I'll probably get the other one done later this week, when my new order of snaps arrive.  Today, I'm working on a custom order of an ACU OS pocket diaper (what my remaining snaps are going to be used on) for my first Etsy customer.  I'm also going to try to bust out my serger today and do some work with that so that more of my items can be serged.  I'm thinking about hooping a newborn shirt, and seeing about embroidered something on it, but haven't quite settled on what yet.  In the meantime, here is the picture of the diaper you have been waiting for.  I will add action shots later.

Because they are just so cute!

I just stocked a custom spot for a dress on my Etsy store. It is an ACU dress that I made and stocked in my store on Bitty Fluff. I've decided to open up a custom slot on Etsy. The custom spot is for any of the servcies fabrics that I have.

I also plan to list the ACU Mei Tai that I talked about in a previous post, and open that up for customs on Etsy.

This weeks big deal though, is I'm going to make Justin and ACU one-size daiper with embroidery. It should turn out super cute, and I think it will be nice to have a little Hooah on him. I made him a diaper cover in the past, and some one-size diapers, but none in the ACU fabric. I think this should be a nice addition to his collection of one-size diapers. The best part is the embroidery, but your going to have to wait until it's done to find out what that's going to be.

It's Done!!!

Okay, I just finally got the ACU Mei Tai done, and I'm very excited about it. I made a few adjustments compared to the last one I made. So, it now curves inward at the bottom, has thicker padding at the shoulder, thicker padding (but not as thick as at the shoulders) on the waist straps, and includes a pocket. I made the pocket so that it is sewn at the top, sides, and bottom, but the sides have the angeled access on either side. I also made the pocket pucker out more, to give better access. I will get pictures of it tomorrow, and plan to list it on my congo for sale, and also as an example for customs on my Etsy. Be sure to check back so that you can see what it looks like.

As promised, here is a picture or two of the Mei Tai:

Getting the new year off to a great start!

Well, we haven't just started a new year, but a new decade. In this new year, I plan to debut some new products, as well as open an Etsy store. I will be stocking in my store on HC this Friday, and plan to start stocking on the Etsy store soon. I'm going to be expanding the items that I do in military fabric. In the works right now is a woodland maripat bag/purse, and an ACU Mai Tei.

I've been tweaking my waterproof doll pattern, and will be selling those soon as well. Valentine's Day is also very near, so I'm going to be listing some items to get ready for that as well.

I have about 4.5 months left here in Leavenworth, and then we will be on the move again, and I will open up my waiting list for those that want to order, so that I can get started on your orders as soon as we are finished moving, and done with whatever vacation we take.

Black Friday is coming

Black Friday is right around the corner (just a week and a day away) and I thought I would do something special for it. So, while I'll be listing some items at great prices, I will also be listing a Military custom order spot, with free embroidery for words (phrases). That's a $5 savings. So you could get a dress, diaper cover, diaper, or tea dyed shirt for the regular price, and get it personalized for no cost. I'm still drumming up other ideas for Black Friday, and Cyber Monday, but I thought that this offer would be especially great I'm also going to *try* to stock an ABU Mei Tai. I just got in quite a few yards of ABU fabric a week and a half ago, and plan to get cutting on it, to make something for those baby wearing AF mommies. Check in at my store to see what I have listed and what's coming up.

It's been a busy week, and will be a busy day tomorrow!

This week I have been occupied with two custom orders. One is a one-size pocket diaper in ACU fabric, and the other is an ACU ruffled tie back dress with matching ruffled panties. In the midst of all this bussiness I've also been getting ready for our stocking on Creative Mamas. We are having an auction for the last available Spotted Box, as well as a Halloween stocking. We have lots of great items ready to stock tomorrow (I'm eyeing a few myself) as well as some already in stock. The Spotted Box is particularly special because it is an anniversary box. There are many full sized items that went into these boxes, and despite my effort, I couldn't snag one. The congo has graciously decided to auction off our box, so that our customers will have a chance at it. The auction starts tomorrow at noon.

Now for the details on the diaper. It is a One size pocket diaper, meaning that the rise snaps down to fit from 8-38lbs, as well as having a pocket opening to stuff the absorbant material in. The diaper comes with a rayon (bamboo) fleece insert that snaps to fit the three different rise settings. It also has snap closures, as well as a newborn setting with overlap snaps. The picture is a front shot of the diaper on the largest setting.
