Mamas Froggie Girl - BumGenius

Eva’s vocabulary is growing fast. So far she says: bread, bottle, diaper, Grandma, Daddy, Mama (only when she is mad!), ball, yes (nods her head and says “sssss”), and a few other words. She just got tooth number 3, with tooth number 4 on it’s way soon.

I have to admit we are still really enjoying cloth diapering. Eva still has not worn a single disposable since she was still in the hospital. I just need to find time to sew some more medium diapers for her. I have so many tester diapers now, you’d think I have enough, but I really want to make her some more all in ones like the happy face diaper on my Twitter account. So far those are my favorites.

The BumGenius diapers still fit her really well, though we are on the largest snap setting now. She is so long and thin. She was sick for three whole weeks (can we say sleep deprivation!) but now that she is feeling better she is eating like a horse. Last month she would only eat a few tablespoons of food a day. Suddenly she is eating 4 ounces at a sitting 3 times a day. I need to get my baby food site working.

This week I have been sidetracked working on a diaper cake site. http://www.diapercakebakery.com.

I have too many web sites, but I keep finding cool stuff to make sites about.

So soft on the tushie!

Had to share how cute Eva is in her new Drybees Gone Natural bamboo diaper. It was tough getting this pic though cause she keeps rolling onto her back when I put her down on her stomach. I managed to catch her mid-roll!

I love bamboo diapers because they are so soft and absorbent. I just got these in stock today, so I haven’t really field-tested it yet, but they look awesome. Nice and thick where it is needed but trim fitting overall. The fold out soakers mean fast drying. This is good, since I have no patience for any diaper that won’t dry fast.

 As you can see, she finds this bamboo diaper very comfy!

I am on a mission to get rid of every scrap of fabric in the house before I am allowed to buy more (ok, kinda). I had 8 pail liners to serge in that stack (with another stack of 20 cut out pail liners I had planned to sew today). I wanted to get to an even 40 serged for the day before I moved onto a more creative project). Suddenly tail of the gusset got caught in the serger and broke both needles. I have at least 100 sewing machine needles and NOT ONE serger needle in the house. The other serger uses regular sewing machine needles, only this one machine has to be different. I tried to buy needles last month when I got the machine fixed, but the repair shop wasn’t sure which needles I ought to buy so I planned to look it up and pick them up later. But, these days I don’t leave the house much. Trust me to break the last two needles on one of the few days when all the fabric stores are closed.

Sure, it is Christmas, but the baby is sleeping again and James is doing his own thing, my family is not coming over until Sunday. Why not give myself the gift of some completed work?

Sure, I COULD use the sewing machine or the other serger to do something else, but I WANT to use the serger that is threaded with white thread, not the colored thread one. (Heaven knows I am NOT gonna rethread a serger on Christmas Eve!) So, like a junkie, I was sorting through my massively cluttered sewing room last night desperate for the last two used needles that I am pretty sure I did not toss. My husband muttered something about me going through trash looking for used needles. Is it so wrong to want my fix?
