chaos dreams

Did you miss out on snaffling some of the gorgeously lush appliqued sherpa and bamboo velour fitted nappies featured in our recent ‘Pure and Natural’ Gossamer Dreams stocking? They’re now available through the Pookey Pockets store on Ozebaby so come on over and take a look! Perfect for those hot summer days in just a singlet and nappy with plenty of absorbency (booster upgrade option recommended for size small if intending to wear without a cover) and options for a matching Tshirt for the ultimate bright summer outfit.

Yep, you guessed it, we’ve all been hit by the winter sniffles that have been going around. It is truly amazing how many tissues a family of 6 can go through in a week! (been trying to convince them that hankies are a good alternative, but not having much luck yet!) Things are getting back to normal though now, which is good, because last week I felt rather like I’d been hit by a freight train!

The good news for the week is that microfleece is back in stock! YAY!!!

Thirteen gorgeous colours to choose from - details and photos will be up on the website in the next couple of days, once my internet is no longer speed-limited (but that’s another whinge altogether, so I’ll save that for another post!)

Finding space for all the rolls at the shop is going to be an interesting exercise though! *giggle*

I’ve also got minkee/Malden Mills fleece covers in stock at the shop, again details should be uploaded to the website very soon! Otherwise feel free to email me for details.

And last but not least, there’s some new products that will be available at the shop soon - Popit nappies, from NZ, and a range of ribbon goodies from Ribbonista. Oh, and a few special products from Pookey Pockets will be previewing at Ozebaby later next month, so stay tuned…

This has been one heck of a week, lol, with the shop opening on Tuesday, and then the Great Down Under Nappy Hunt starting on Wednesday. But I’ve finally had a chance to sit down this morning, and download the photos from my camera, so here it is!

Firstly, the view from the front of the shop - thanks to everyone who sent me photos of their gorgeous babies to put in my front window!

This is the current fabric stash - there’s more to come soon, including bamboo!!
(model doesn’t come included with fabric purchases, lol, sorry!)

And of course, everyone’s favourite part of the shop - the nappies!!

the cupcakes photo is especially for Carmen!

Now I have lots of people I want to thank, so please bear with me!!

Firstly my darling long suffering husband Mark, who has put many hours of painting etc into the setup of the shop! (and has also put up with the deteriorating state of our house while I’ve been focused on other things, lol!) And my children Rhiannon, Michael, Lukas and Ben, who probably still think mum is insane and never talks about anything except the shop and nappies! My parents - Dad who built all my shelves and cutting table, and Mum who looked after the kids many times so that Mark and I could work without distractions, and who also came round to the shop on Monday night and helped get everything out onto the shelves! (it was a *very* late night!)

Donna, Lesley and Shane (plus family) who have helped the whole way along with ideas and practical help (especially Shane who rescued me from the flat-pack furniture nightmare, lol!) I’ve got photos from one of the working bees to upload when I get a chance!

My friend Margaret, who listens to me whinge via IM late at night, and even *likes* putting together the dreaded flat-pack furniture

All the other WAHMs both irl and online who have listened to me talk and let me bounce ideas off them over the last few months - thankyou - you know who you are! And those who have supported me by sending me stock to sell!

I’ll be updating the shop pages soon, with more details of what’s in stock, and what’s still to come.

Hope to meet many more of you in the coming weeks!
