Fabric Find!

Check this out! This was found by my new fabric ninja. She is now hired as my official fabric finder! It took me months to find The Alexander Henry Ghastlies Fabric on white let alone on the super amazing grey! This will make the cutest diapers,shirts, pants, and dresses! I can not wait until it arrives!

Here is an example of what I made with it using the fabric on white:

Cute right?!

Life is great...just busy!

I have to be honest. Life is great! Hubby just got the okay that his job is secure for the next 4 years (can I get a woot woot) or a (raise the roof) whichever you are into!

I've been a sewing Machine. I kid you not, ANY free time I have it is spent sewing, sewing, sewing. My mothers day gift was 5 wait no, 4.5 hours of kid free sew time. I took 100% advantage of it and got a LOT done. So much done that I actually have time to post on my beloved blog. Which I miss SO much. Seriously, I miss you all. I got a couple reviews/giveaways up and there are still more to come. Exciting ones too!

DS1 is such a big boy now and DS2 is growing like a weed, 4 months already! He is an amazing baby, I really couldn't have asked for anything better. He sleeps and eats like a champ and just gets happier and chunkier each day. Such a cute little chunky monkey, we are all in love with him, even DS1...can you believe it!?

My next cloth diaper stocking will be on Friday the 13th (insert blood curdling scream), with lots of goodies to be had by all. Don't miss it, you will really want to try out one of my diapers! My order's are getting out in less than 2 weeks time and customers seem very satisfied. I plan to keep it that way!

My addiction to fabric has gotten out of control, I have an obsession with finding the most perfect and unique fabrics that will go perfectly in my shop. I even have my own fabric Facebook group. So if I start posting too much about a fabric that I found, just ignore my new geeky pleasure.

I have so much more to share but babies naps only last so long...

Bamboobino offers you a unique line of children's wear and accessories made from super-soft, viscose from bamboo, plus nursing pads for mom too!
Please check our website often for more updates, specials and new products!
Why choose textiles made from viscose from bamboo?

It's more absorbent than cotton.
Its cashmere-like softness is great for babies.
It comfortably wicks moisture away from skin.
It's hypoallergenic - suitable for newborn's sensitive skin.
It's easy to care for - all our baby clothes can be machine washed and tumble dried.

As a plant, bamboo:

Possesses a property called bamboo kun, that makes it naturally anti-bacterial.
Grows easily without pesticides or fertilizers.
Takes in five times the volume of greenhouse gasses as an equivalent stand of timber trees and releases 35% more oxygen.
Needs no replanting, and its roots retain water in the watershed, sustaining riverbanks and reducing water pollution.
Is eaten by pandas, but not moso bamboo (phyllostachys pubescen), the species used for making textiles.

Try it out, you'll be wonderfully surprised!

"Your products were a hit at the baby shower I attended! And the best was the thank you card I got back from my friend. She said that her husband asked if he could order a bathrobe in his size because it's sooo soft!" - Selena, Victoria

We were sent the bamboo hooded enclosed wrap: Snuggly, absorbent, fully enclosed wraps for infants newborn - 6months. I love everything about it! To be honest my only negative feeling towards it is that it only lasts until baby is 6 months! They do offer an apron hooded towel for older babies though, I will have to try that out next! I would love one that would last until a year. It really simplified bath time for us. I was able to just lay him in it, pull the hood up, and tie the wraps around him, all in less than minute! No more struggling trying to pull and tuck square tabs on regular towels. I loved the cozy little cocoon it put him in, and he loved it too. He didn't have enough time to cry from being too cold, he was one happy little camper! This would make a great gift for any new mommy! Read more about bamboobino here.
