Stocking Friday Jan 29

Put previews up tonight for Friday's stocking on my Hyena Cart, Heartland Dreams. New items will 'go live' at 2pm (that's Eastern time). This will be the last stocking to get the new snappiable/pinnable one size fitteds at introductory pricing.

Just a little teaser:

New fabric!

Nothing like a little new fabric to rev up the motivation to sew.

Got these today.


The 2 giraffe prints on the left are poly pul, and will become pockets or ai2's. The other 4 prints are all cotton interlocks.

I've got a custom to finish up, and 2 more in process dipes to finish, and then I can cut into this yummy goodness. It's already washed up and ready to go. Need to wash up some more bamboo fleece tomorrow.

These won't be ready for this week's stocking most likely, but I should have some done for Main Street on the third of Feb.

I will be stocking again this week on Friday (the 29th) at 2pm (eastern time).

Well, it happened again.

Didn't take long did it? For me to forget to blog that is. But, new year, new start, right?

I took most of December off to enjoy the Christmas Season with my family, and we had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I hope you did too.

I started the year with a bang by unveiling not one, but TWO new diaper designs!

The first--a one size snappiable/pinnable fitted. The fit is almost infinitely adjustable with the ability to fold over the rise as much or as little as needed, and to fasten with a pin or Snappi where ever the fit is best. Adding to the flexibility is the snap-in snap-together soaker system. Depending on which soaker(s) you use, and how you fold them, you can achieve up to 14 layers of absorbency in the wetzone! In addition to the snap-in soakers, each diaper comes with a separate lay in booster as well.

Oh, and did I mention that Introductory Pricing is in effect for these through the month of January? You can get them for $18 rather than the full price of $21 that will be in effect Feb 1. There are some available on my Hyena Cart, as well as on the congo, Sugar N Spice where I was a guest vendor this month.



The second new style is my Dream Fit Stages. Stages are a multi-sized diapering system. Stage 1 is sized nb/small, Stage 2 is med/large. This is an economical option for those who find traditional one sized diapers bulky on newborns, but don't want to invest in a diaper that only fits for a few weeks like most newborn sizes. Stage 1 fits babies approximately 7-19 pounds. Stage 2 fits babies approximately 17-35+ pounds. The size adjusts with a snap-down rise. The snap-in snap-together soaker system provides flexibility in absorbency to the needs of your baby.

There is still a Stage 2 available on my Hyena Cart.


And, I was still in a designing mood this weekend, so I cooked up a One Size All-In-Two, and tweaked the wings to be a bit longer on the snappiable/pinnable above so I could add snaps to it.

I'll be debuting those soon, so be on the lookout!

A special stocking for the kids of Heartland Dreams

Our kids are pretty crafty, and enjoy sharing their craft with others. So they decided to do a special stocking of giftable items just in time for Christmas. These items will stock on Heartland Dreams on Monday, November 9 at 1 pm (eastern time). They have been working like crazy to complete a variety of items, and I think you'll agree that they've done very well.

Our dd is 11, and quite handy with a crochet hook. I'm so proud of how her crochet doll family turned out! She started with a basic pattern, and then added details to create each individual personality. I couldn't wait till she finished another so I could she what she'd come up with. I must admit, Grandma and Grandpa are my favorites.

She's got some playfood in the works too. We'll get those up in the next day or two.




Not to be left out, the boys have been busy at the scroll saw making ornaments. I love the way the natural wood beauty shows through on these. So unique!












I hope you'll come by on Monday, November 9 to support the next generation of Hyenas!

One Size testers are ready!

I've been working on new product development lately and finally have a couple of one size snapped fitted testers ready to go out. I'll be handpicking these testers, but if info comes back positive, I'll be making more testers and listing them on my cart.

I've also worked up a one size snappiable fitted, and a multi-sized staged fitted.

I am excited about all the new products I'll be able to offer soon!

New product Introduction! Bamboosters (TM)

For all those times you wish you could have just a little more absorbency in your fitted diaper, now you can!

Bambooster (TM) Ovals are 2 layers of rayon from bamboo fleece, serged smooth side out. You can place them between the petals of your Heartland Dreams fitted (or any other fitted for that matter). If you need even more absorbency, fold in half and place directly in the wet zone for 4 layers of super thirsty fleece.



Have you ever wished there was a natural fiber option for pocket stuffers? Well, there are prefolds of course, but bamboo fabrics are so much more absorbent. Now, with these Bambooster (TM) Tri-folds, you can have it all. Two layers of rayon from bamboo fleece give 6 super thirsty layers when tri-folded. Generously sized to fit all sizes of pocket diapers, they can be folded the opposite way to fit smaller sizes. Fold lines are stitched in to assist in folding and to keep the insert from twisting and bunching after washing.

For a nap or night solution, combine a tri-fold with 1 or 2 Ovals for unbeatable protection.
