I have NOT fallen off the face of the Earth!

I apparently needed more time off than previously expected. I will be back soonish- complete with several new (poly) PUL prints & solids.

After careful consideration

I have decided to keep the shop closed for the month of April. I need a break from sewing. For almost 2 1/2 years, I've concentrated on diapers & just need a little vacay. When I reopen in May, I will most likely not be doing custom orders anymore. So what I will have listed for sale is all there will be. Maxington Bear will stay open during this time. :) I hope everyone has a good Easter (it's also my baby's 1st Birthday!).

More bracelets listed to help Japan!

Same as before- all sales will go to GlobalGiving. :)

This time, only the skinny cuffs will be available.

Final donation made!!!

The grand total came to $113- $13 past my $100 goal! :)

Seriously awesome!

$51 donated so far!!!

So very awesome!

:)

Help Japan

I made a new bracelet section on my Maxington Bear Etsy site called "Help Japan". 100% of those sales will go to Global Giving, in an effort to help Japan.

*swoon*

These are just a few of the new prints that are being offered! I've already picked out 17 that I want to order. :) These will be COTTON & sent off to the laminator. Don't get too excited- the database to order these will not close till April 1st. Which means that it will take time to get made & sent to the moderator running it & then sent off to get laminated. So I won't actually have it for quite a while. But I am seriously SOOO excited for these!!!

Make your own pee pad/ mattress protector

We started potty training Roman in December. It's going well, but we still need something on his bed at night (we don't use Pull Ups & I've yet to buy/make training pants so he just wears regular underwear). This idea popped into my head so I went w/ it. :)

Take a flannel receiving blanket

(I hate measuring things out so, when I don't have to, I don't!) Put your waterproof material (I used PUL) underneath & cut around.

Or do a better job than me & measure/trace. :)
Then get your absorbant material (I used Zorb) & lay your blanket on top of that. Cut around.

Sandwhich together your layers: PUL (shiny side in), Zorb & then blanket.

Pin.

Serge.

Et voila!

What we do:

Put a sheet on Roman's bed.

Then the pad on top, in the area that would most likely get wet.

Put another sheet on that & make the bed like normal.

Then, if he's wet in the middle of the night, I can just whip the wet sheet off & not worry about re-making the bed.

Because I can't get enough of these...

I already need to order more of these & they just came in the other day! :)

Bracelets!

Over on Maxington Bear. :)

Just paid shipping for my bamboo order!

Wahoo!!! :)

This means I'll finally have more bamboo to sew diaper doublers! :) I haven't made them in AGES. The bamboo doublers I made for Roman to wear at night were, hands down, my favorite.

He's building up quite a collection!

He's 9 months old today- how the heck did that happen?!

I've already started thinking about his Birthday party!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Awesomeness

So I discovered the other day that Etsy sold tea. Say what?! This excited me a TON since I love me some tea. :) Ordered some today- can't wait to get it!

New Ooga colors...

and new wool dryer balls over @

Maxington Bear

Since this shop is named after Roman...

I had to name one after Max! :) It will be a work in progress for some time. I'm not sure if it will help or hurt my crafting ADD, though!
