Fluffy Week

It's been a good week mail wise here. Out of the 4 packages I'm expecting I've gotten 3 of them. On Monday I got another HHOS in the colour butter, and then today I got some PUL and Aplix and then the sling rings I was waiting on. I'm gonna have to order the fabric I think because all my local shops either a) don't carry the type of fabric I want until spring/summer or b) carry it but not in the colour I'm looking for *sigh* Oh well, hopefully I'll be able to find it online. Anyways this is just a short little update. I've got one more diaper coming and then I'll have to do stash pics again.

someone stop me!

I shouldn't be left alone with money to spend =) a friend told me about Baby Hope's Cloth Diapers (thanks Tanya ;)) and I just couldn't pass on the free shipping so I ordered a Baby Beehind Bamboo onesize. YAY! this is a diaper I've bee dying to try so I cannot wait for it to get here. it just shipped today so I have a while but still this is something I'm really looking forward to getting. I got it in the blue if anyone cares ;) once that gets here that's it for me. I have to make the rest of my diapers. I'll have to take some stash pics once everything is here. And can you believe I already can't find one of the snappis I just got *sigh* I swear I need a tracking device for those things.
Well dh had the day of today so we went hunting for fabric...specifically grey chambray for the ringsling I'm making, and it turns out that all the local stores don't carry chambray...at least not the grey color. I'm not impressed. I guess I'll have to look for it online which isn't really an issue as long as it doesn't cost too much in shipping.
That's pretty much it from here other them I'm still working out some kinks with my testers...I'm a little frustrated but I'm gonna just go at it tomorrow and hopefully get it sorted out....otherwise I'm going to plan "B"
Anyways I'll leave you with a babywearing pic from our trip to the pumpkin patch this weekend

well I didn't get any mail today, although I'm not really expecting any until early next week. I still always hope that I'll be surprised though. I'm currently waiting on three packages

1. a butter yellow HHOS from For the Monster
2. some PUL and some aplix from VeryBaby
3. some large black aluminum sling rings from Slingrings

I have a pair of silver slingrings but I haven't seen them since we moved the beginning of July and I really want to make a ringsling like this or if I feel fancy maybe even this ;)

I also started my testers this week. I'm so excited I just need to dye them and finish them up and then I can mail them. HOORAY!!! also my dh offered to buy me a snap press so I just have to decide what would be better, the snap press now or more fabric and then wait to get the snap press. I hate making decisions! but at least this is a fun one ;) anyways that is all that is really new here. I'll post some picks of my finished products later.

oh and just to update on our Moshi...I had pretty much decided to sell it. Not really because I didn't like it but I just was unsure....anyways I wore it for a little bit tonight and wouldn't you know it I am really starting to like it. it's starting to soften up just enough that it is getting really comfy. I'm a fan and I'm definately not selling now.

MOSHI

HOORAY!!!! it finally arrived! I haven't had much of a chance to really wear it so I don't really have a review yet. but I just wanted to get a pic of it up seeing as how I said I would ;) it's not the greatest but we are planning on going to the pumpkin patch this weekend as long as it it not raining here so I'll have some better pics then.
I also ordered some babylegs today in the scandia print because I just thought they were too cute not to get =) hopefully I won't have to wait as long for them

Good news!!!!

I got a package notice in the mail today saying that I had a parcel that would be available for pick-up at the PO tomorrow! YAY!!!! I'm assuming it's finally our Moshi and I cannot wait to try it out. I feel like a kid on Christmas. And I can't express what great timing this is because we have just started incorporating a nice walk where I wear my ds down to sleep for the night. He get's soooo excited when he sees me getting out our mei tai =) It's really helped him fall asleep a little earlier and it's saved my sanity a bit.....now if only I could get him to stay asleep.....but I suppose that will come too. I'll be sure to post pics and a review of the Moshi once I have it.

i heart babywearing

my son has been going through a particularly trying time right now. He is only napping once a day now, and it is a struggle to get him down, his night sleeping is fretful and restless and in short little intervals all night long....needless to say I'm incredibly sleep deprived with a little boy that is not only fussy and tired all day but he's really testing us right now to figure out his boundaries, he's teething some molars, and I think he is frustrated because he's not really talking a lot yet; he has quite a few words he know and even more he understands but he just can't always express what he wants which leads to fits on his side and lots of hair-pulling on mine ;) anyways I wanted to get out for a walk this evening to work of some of the many turkey dinners I indulged in this weekend (gotta love thanksgiving for that) so I strapped my ds into our mei tai on my back and headed out for a brisk walk around the neighborhood with my mom and about half way through our walk he was out. I managed to get home, get upstairs into his room, get him untied and off my back (with help from my mom) and into bed) all at 7:40 pm!!!!! WOW!!! that is sooooo early for him. I'm hoping he has a good night and stays asleep for me. I'm thinking I may have to make this walk a nightly routine now. Not only will it be nice to get him in bed a little earlier it'll be nice for my waistline too ;)

gives me hope

another Mama that ordered her Moshi at the same time as I did just got hers today so I'm so excited!!!! I've given up hope that it will get here this week (stupid Canadian post) but still I am just so anxious for it to get here already =)

a little update

I've been patiently waiting for our Moshi since the beginning of the month (she was closed for 2 weeks around when I bought it soI did know that I wouldn't get it right away) and I finally heard back from her that it was shipped today. HOORAY!!! she said I should get it by the weekend (which means tomorrow) but I'm not going to get my hopes up....I'm all too familiar with the slowness of the Canadian postal system. I'm secrettly hoping that it does come tomorrow. I've already started planning where I want to use it thise weekend haha.

new things for a new season

I'm really caught up in the spirit of fall this past week (my new layout is a tribute to that). I'm already busy planning our weekends and fun things to do with Oliver. I really want to get to the pumpkin patch or apple orchard, maybe get on a hay ride, I also want to get out for a lot of day hikes in the changing leaves and maybe get up to the fish hatchery to see the salmon spawning....I have a feeling this fall is going to fly by just as fast as this summer did. Somewhere in all of this I've got a list of knitting and sewing that I want to fit in, like working on the size range for my diaper pattern (and maybe perfecting the design a bit) and finishing a few knitting projects I've started so that I can start a bunch more. Can a person have to many hobbies? if that's possible then I'm right on the edge I think. I keep telling myself that I'll start painting again soon and that I will get around to finishing all my scrapbooking ;) I think half the fun of hobbies is planning the next project....at least for me it is.

we've also reacently found the wool love here. The Thumbelina Diaper cover that we had so patiently been waiting for finally arrived...and wouldn't you know it it came the first mail day we were gone on holidays. I'm just so glad that it made it safe and sound and that it works so well for us. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you Tanya

well now that the wating for that is over I can start waiting for my Moshi carrier to arrive. I'm super excited for it to arrive. (alot of my fall plans involve the use of this beautiful carrier) I'll have to post pics as soon as I get it. I got the pretty bird print which I am so inlove with. this is my first soft structured carrier and I've been waiting a long time to get one....I've already got a list of others to add to my collection including and Ergo and a Beco (or two ;) ) I think I'm just as passionate about babywearing as I am about cloth diapering, maybe even more. well I suppose I should stop for today. I've got a million things to do, the first being som laundry :)
