Sweet Shower Surprise!

I was recently contacted by a very sweet mama whose baby girl was one of the gorgeous babes in our photo contest. She has a cousin who is expecting and really wanted to show her all of the new options available in cloth.

I set her up with a sweet little AIO - and she created the most adorable little dress to compliment it!

I just had to share her sweet set creation!

Lanicia made this precious little reversible dress and they make the perfect pair!
What a great cousin!

Reflections on Earth Week

As Earth Week comes to a close, it seems like the perfect time to reflect a bit on what I do and why I do it. For the love of the planet and each and every living thing upon it.

I recently traveled to Auburn, AL.
While I was there, I noticed this beautiful river cane forest (which totally resembles bamboo).
I just HAD to wander in and get some pics!



I got the shots above and a few other neat ones, but it was on my way out that I stumbled upon possibly the most profound pictures...









I don't know why I was so horrified by it?
Maybe because I know that they will not decompose on their own...?
Maybe because I know that the chemicals inside them were destined to leach into the surrounding area and pose a hazard to the natural beauty...?
Or maybe, just maybe it's because that sight is the embodiment of all that I strive to correct and balance out in this world by creating cloth diapers and incontinence tools.

So - if you've helped save the world even a single pack of 'sposies by using cloth, please pat yourself on the back and accept my heart felt thanks.

May Promises to be a big Month!

I need some help with these lemons....

So Life's tossed me a basket of lemons and I'm whipping up some pie!

Beginning Thursday, March 26 at 10 am we will be having a huge sale on hand made parenting tools in an effort to raise enough money to help my family avoid foreclosure proceedings.

It's a bummer, but it's not keeping us down!
We're throwing a Mega Mystery sale!

We'll have AIO's as low as $10! And some really fantastic bargains will be available!
Everything from trainers to Sox to Starbunz will be marked down considerably - some over 50%!

In all, we need to fundraise $800 in 8 days time.
I am offering up $1,600 in retail value for 1,000 - savings of $600 is available to be shared by my customers this week.

Though it breaks my heart that an unfortunate series of events has brought us this unexpected 8 day deadline, I am confident that we can and will pull together again and beat these odds as well.

If you've ever used and loved my products, mention it to a friend, share this link - spread the word.

If you haven't, what an awesome opportunity to try the design at a deeply discounted rate!

If you email me - I will even send blog subscribers a code for an ADDITIONAL discount to save you on shipping!

What are other people saying:

This thread on Diaper Swappers shows a teeny NB in a Small diaper.
Imagine if he'd had an XS!

Same poster, but still useful info.

I have received wonderful feedback on my OBV and natural pieces this week! Including the new information that they are super fast drying!

If I had a Daughter...

She'd be wearing this for Easter...

It's my favorite piece to date!
With adjustable waist band sizing, it's a great fit for a large size range.

One of the many awesome pieces this week at The Enchanted Glen!

A Little Fantasy for February...?

With a dusting from faeries and the strength of brave knights
The Glen of Enchantment begins twinkling with lights...

And when it's combined with the mind of a child
They frolic and play - imaginations run wild!

With the breath of a dragon and the wave of a wand
Hyenas and pups marveled at the pieces they donned.

They "ooh'd" and they "aah'd" and they started to talk
and they all set their cell phones as they browsed and they stalked.



Cloth Curious is Thrilled to announce our participation in the upcoming themed congo on Hyena Cart - The Glen of Enchantment.

Dates are unconfirmed, but as details emerge, I'll post them here.

We plan to unveil some new products and even some toys and quirky laughs!

Perhaps the most exciting pieces are the fitteds and collaborations!




This is sure to be a Congo worth Stalking.

Jonesing for some natural fibers?

I've only got a limited number of Natural fiber diapers scheduled for this year and unfortunately, I'm not sure I will be able to purchase any new materials for a while.

Currently available in natural fibers are the Super Kawaii Apple Bottom Beauty featured here.

The Apple piece features Organic Hemp, Minkee topped soaker, beautiful light green PUL and the sweetest little apple image ever!

Also available in hemp are:



Moorish Majesty is a Hemp Piece that features a minkee topped soaker and a gorgeous Moorish printed knit inner.

and finally my Daisy...




I have a few pieces I'm unveiling in a Fairy Congo that are fairy or dragon themed and some will have hemp or bamboo inners.

Pre Historic Happenings...

My Favorite pair of Training Pants to date has to be these Pull-on Dinosaur trainers.
The inner print is a fun primary dinosaur print.







The only remaining dinosaur piece for purchase is available by clicking the photo.

Let your cutie Pie Shine in 2009!

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.




Peek-a-boo pandas!!
LIMITED QUANTITIES AVAILABLE

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!
