Mama Cloth!!!

I had a gal contact me last week. She had bought some Mama Cloth from me over two YEARS ago. She said that she loves them and would like to get more. Instead of trying a bunch of others and still pining for mine (her words, not mine!), she hunted me down to ask for more!

What a compliment!!!!

I had been thinking about Mama Cloth lately. MJ is only 3.5 months old, so w/o details, I went to the store last month to purchase some disposables. I was shocked at the prices!!! Seems those have gone up in the year since I last had AF. I bought the generic brand to save $$ and was not happy at all. That got me thinking of Mama Cloth. Should I try them???

This one customer has me convinced that I should at least give them a try. So my pattern is back on the table and the materials are out. I made her a set of 4 regulars and 8 overnights. I've improved my make by using an all PUL back layer and two snaps for a more customizable fit. I'm sure she'll love them! Now I just have to find some more awesome flannel prints!!!

Trainers

Yay! I've sufficiently modified a pattern for training underwear! These are not waterproof, but I hope to work on that as well. These are comparable to the gerber training undies you buy in the store. Only cuter! :)

I just made a set of 7 for a friend last week. Here they are:

I will be adding them to my customs list as well. Hmm... Maybe I should open up a Hyena Cart. I'll think about that. :)

TV boredom

First off, I'm going to say that, yes, I was a Michael Jackson fan. I remember telling my dad when I was little that I would marry him some day. While we all know that didn't happen, I was a fan of his music. Would have loved to have seen a concert. Didn't go all gaga over him. Probably would have gotten blubber mouthed if I ever had run into him. Felt sorry for the torment he was obviously under.
All my sympathies to his family, friends, and most of all, children.

Okay, now to my gripe! What's with all the programs!?!?!?
We cut out our Direct TV cause it was just getting too expensive to justify for our family. So now we get about 12 channels (yeah, we're in a valley and don't get the 30+ over the air channels that some lucky folk get) and every night since he's passed away, all it's been is Michael, Michael, Michael. If I didn't already feel as though I knew him, I sure do now!

Yeah, I'm listening to the memorial service as I clean the house and entertain the children. I could shut it off or listen to the radio. But I also feel drawn to it. It's crazy, I know.

Guess what we're watching tonight!?!? NO! Not the special 48 hours about, guess who? No, I rented "Dallas" from the library! Ha, ha! Let's see what all the Dallas hype was about back when I was really little! My hubby remembers having to go to bed at 8 when the show would start. He would plead with his parents just to let him hear the Dallas song so that he could hear the trumpets. He later played the trumpet in band, and occasionally now when he runs across it in the closet. I'm going to tell him there's something on TV I want to watch, have him close his eyes and play the song! Then, yeah, we'll watch it. :)

Now I feel better ranting for a minute!
