True Colors

The True Colors dyer's charity challenge is on and items are being posted every day. It's a great cause no matter what you end up bidding on. I did a Cuddle Blanket(tm) for the cure. The Susan G. Komen foundation (now known as For The Cure) is a great organization that has raised almost $1 billion dollars for finding a cure for breast cancer. My family has been touched by this disease so it's an effort that is close to my heart. Be sure to check out all the fiber artists who are participating, there are gorgeous things to be had!

The Labels are Here!

Well, I'm officially official! My current clients know that I have hesitated to include labels on my products to date. Why? you might ask. Well, I did a lot of testing of various diaper designs in order to find the perfect diaper for my family. My goal was something that performed better than other prefolds but that was also very easy to use. Part of that ease of use for me is the ability to throw them in the wash, into the dryer, and then pull them out of the dryer and just fold them in half and stuff them into the changing table drawer. When I change my son, I simply reach into the drawer and put a diaper on him. There is no front, back, up and down to any of them. They are the same fabric on both sides, no side seams or serging. I think this makes for a better diaper, especially for those looking to save time and effort in their diapering routine. The moment I put a label on my diaper, there is automatically a front, back, up and down to worry about. After all, you don't want a label scratching your poor little one's back or tummy!

After lots of requests and a long time deliberating, I will be providing the option for labels on all custom diaper orders. The labeling will also include a s, m and l label for easy size identification, which will help those with two or more in diapers. I will also be adding labels to my Cuddle Blankets(tm), towels and clothing, but not to my wipes (lol!).

So, for those who have been waiting, the labels are here! I will not be adding labels to the diapers that I stock on Tickety Bu, this way, everyone gets what they want. ;)

Fresh Stuff Going On

Well, it's been one crazy summer. I was so looking forward to fall, but now I'm sad to see the summer go. My daughter is going to school full time which has been very bittersweet. My son is growing like a weed and it's too fast for my taste. And work just keeps growing too.

I joined Fresh and we just had our grand opening. It's been great working with such amazing WAHMs, not to mention the support and laughs they provide. Custom orders have filled my plate for the last month, and will for part of this month. But, I'm adding some products to my line and the first, hooded towels, will be offered in a Bath stocking later this month. I'll be focusing on my Cuddle Blankets(tm) more with the coming of cooler weather and of course doing tons of fun diapers. I am loving a new dying technique that I recently did and call them Double Dipsicles.





Some more fresh news, my cart and blog are getting updated. Andrea of Wanted Web Design has helped me out, tying all of my online worlds together and giving Tickety Bu a much needed polish. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do!
