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

(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.

If you're curious about your cloth options and want some advice or information on cloth diapering, please check out my website - www.clothcurious.com or my new hyenacart - http://hyenacart.com/ClothCurious
