Oh what fun! Toys for the holidays!

This year brought an economic adjustment for everyone it seems. Many of us find ourselves scaling down our gift budgets this year.
For me, the solution was making gifts!
And the gifts I made my son are fantastic and I have decided to share them with others this season.

I auctioned my
Fishing Set earlier this month and a sushi set as well!




There are a few pieces of Obento Baby Sushi à la carte available now under "Holiday Happenings".

I am excited to be participating in an upcoming congo on Hyena Cart.
More to come as the details unfold!

Basic Training....

So, we've been developing our Cloth Curious training pants for a few months now.

We knew we wanted a waterproof trainer - something to help parents and babies make the potty learning transition without much stress.

We knew we wanted something that toddlers could pull on and off to help them get the hang of underpants.

We also knew it had to be able to separate - just in case your training includes some accidents. No one wants to risk making a BIGGER mess with #2!

We wanted a pocket, so you could customize your absorbency. And we knew the training toddler had to be able to tell that he or she was wet!

We came up with some of the coolest and most functional training pants on the market today!

The sides are adjustable, stretchy and soft. The stretch on these things is phenomenal - Allowing sizing to be quite simple!

Medium Trainers fit most toddlers from 20 - 35 pounds! (Our 35 pound size tester was in Kindergarten!)
Large Trainers are designed to fit children from 32 pounds ALL the way through 98 pounds!! (and our 98 pound size tester was an adult!!! A skinny 26 year old mama!)

It really helps to take the mystery out of selecting a size!

We have a fun new design available until October 15.

Happy Birthday Vinnie!!

730....
That's how many days I've been kissing my baby.
I'm holding him as he sleeps. The final few minutes of his "DayDay". :)

He turned 2 today and I's got me all weepy and nostalgic.

Here are some of my favorite moments of his first 2 years.
Love you Peanut!

The Pandas are coming.....

Cloth Curious is proud to announce the unveiling of our very first themed stocking - Pandamonium!

Along with 3brand new Cloth Curious items, we're also hosting our first longies and prefolds!

Made possible through a collaboration of mamas, this precious panda set will be available from October 10 - October 15.



This week's quote as we embark on this new adventure of themed stockings and collaborations:

“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”
- Walt Disney

This month has brought tactile creativity the likes of which I have never known...

I have produced one size fitteds, trainers, mama nursing pads and so much more this month.

Please check out my store for the latest and most exciting diapering tools.

Pandamonium!

Oh, where to begin...?
This month I am hard at work creating some neat items for my very first themed stocking on my Hyena cart this October!

I wanted my first themed stocking to be something adorable, gender neutral, and something that I am passionate about - and so, my first choice was clear, my passion for Pandas!

Beyond their uuber cuddly looking exterior and their sweet faces - the Panda is the perfect inspiration for awesome baby products. Their classic colors of black and white are flawless together!

This month, expect to see some Classic Microfiber Peek-a-Boo Panda AIO's, Some yummy Bamboo Panda AIO's up for auction, and some super fun collaborations!

This stocking will include my very first Non-AIO diapers as well!
I will be hosting an embellished prefold set and longies, I am also unveiling for the first time my brand new One-size Fitteds and Trainers!

I'll announce a stocking date once I finish all of these goodies up and start taking pictures.
Please join us for the fun this October!

And so, a blog is born....

Hello!

This blog is created to give solace to my friends and family (whom I am sure) are sick of me showing them each and every diaper I make and love... LOL

And lately, my inspiration and initiative have been at an all time high, so I've made some really neat stuff.

Hopefully, this will give me a nice place to share pieces that I really love and maybe get some feedback and share progress on how the functional design is improving.

This entire Blog-o-shpere thing is a whole new realm for me, I think myspace has a blog hole too... maybe I should be using it...? Who knows - I'm techno-tarded...
So please bear with me. :)


Oh, and I LOVE to write and share things, so I've decided to share with you a series of Curious Quotes... They're amongst my favorites and always make me think...


“I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious.”

- Albert Einstein
Born March 14, 1879
(I only know because we share a birthdate... lol)


I have always loved this quote.
As a curious child myself, I was always nosing into drawers and cabinets in which I didn't belong.
Each new item I discovered became a treasure - each trinket an adventure in itself.
The intricate details of antique jewelry, the ornate boxes that hid them away from sight forcing me to risk punishment for a chance to see or even hold what was inside....

It's that same child-like curiosity that lead me to try cloth diapers.

I knew they were better for the environment.
I knew they had to be healthier for my baby.
Seemed cheaper and like less hassle - if you consider that I'm not going to the store for diapers - uh EVER....

But there was just no way I was folding and pinning and pinning and covering. I'm really not that granola eating hippie that cloth diapers may make you think of - I'm actually more of a counter culture Hurley-wearing mama whose diaper bag is a Harajuku Lovers messenger bag.

There are enough diaper changes in a kid's life that they should be as easy and fun as possible - while still being reliable and leak free.
It's that commitment to functional fun and convenience that fuels each and every item I make.
I want to compel the world to try cloth diapers. I know that as of today - I do not have the capabilities to provide a stash of cloth diapers to the entire world, but I thought I could try to turn as many on as possible. To show as many would-be 'sposie users just how easy and elegant cloth diapering really can be.
