I'm back!! With news!!

After a massive haul with the move (why we spread it out thinking that would be easier, I have no idea!!) and waiting to get the office set up and back online, I have finally survived!

Firstly, a huge thank you to the last of my customer orders, who have been SOOOOOOOO patient with me!!! I'm sorry it dragged out at the end!

So, my big news, other than that we are now in the new house (although yet to unpack most of our belongings, including the sewing machines, fabric etc!!) is the we are expecting a NEW BABY!!! We are very excited to be having number 3 and I am due late February. HENCE, I had tried to organise the finishing of orders and the move to accommodate MORNING SICKNESS (which is actually more midday to night sickness for me!), but it all happened a tiny bit earlier than planned, therefore wasn't quite finished my orders etc. I am still not 100%, although feeling better than I was, but still no energy, hence the house not being unpacked!!

This also means I need a little more time to get back into the swing of things and get sewing again!!! I have yet to decide whether to take some custom orders in the meantime before setting up the new site, or how it will work. I am guessing I need a couple more weeks to decide. But I will post news on this site as soon as I have any!

So, thank you to everyone for your patience, and to all the emails I have received about taking orders again, I'm sorry it has taken so long to update the blog!!!

Have been a little slack! I took a little time off for my birthday, yes another year older! And have been busy due to end of financial year - for my own business and my father's - which incidentally coincides with my birthday! Anyway, had a quiet day with my boys, unfortunately the weather was horrible and we couldn't think of anything much exciting to do!!

Am finally down to my last couple of orders! Will finish them off and get to the joyful task of packing up house - woo hoo!!! Ok, I'm not exactly looking forward to that! Although, thanks to our last move, I have culled a lot of stuff.... but then again, I have gained a lot too...... oh well!

A couple of orders that included new designs recently (been slack with the pics!). The top one is for boy/girl twins, how adorable!

Check out a nappy available for a charity auction!

There is a size MEDIUM very girly nappy available right now on a charity auction - check it out!! http://www.ozebaby.com.au/auctions.php?VA=1209

Sorry about missing out on the boys, next time I promise!!
And here is the pic - you can own it!

The auction is to raise money to help a very special baby girl with a very rare, life threatening genetic condition travel to San Francisco to attend a medical symposium. For full details, please check out her website at http://www.princessnicola.com/

Another update just to remind everyone that I will be having some time off (hopefully including my birthday!!) once I have finished all of the current orders over the next couple of weeks. We are then packing up the house to move early August. Once we are settled in and I have new AWESOME amount of workspace, I will be updating everyone on the blog as to where I stand with taking custom orders, or how much stock I have for the new website (new logo finished yay!! Just all the other stuff to organise now!!!)

Email mishaps!

I have recently become aware of a few missing emails!! PLEASE, if you don't receive a response from me by 24 hours, please feel free to email again! Also, sometimes best to check Junk Email for randomly diverted emails! This also applies to open batches - if you have been promised a spot in a certain date batch and haven't heard from me, please email me!

Here are a couple of new design orders in the last few days:

And a special mention for this keepsake for a precious girl who sadly passed away due to SIDS but whose memory will never be forgotten:

New Snaps standards on all Larges

No piccies today! All the most recent orders have been using designs we have already seen!

I have now decided, to help prevent the possibility of wing droop on the nappies (now that the wings aren't as wide which helped prevent it in old style), that I will now automatically put 4 snaps on each of the wing snaps instead of just 2. If you are ordering a medium and would like them added to the mediums as well, please ASK SPECIFICALLY for this during your order.

I have a BIG batch of orders in the next group, I will definitely be wading my way through those orders! But will hopefully have some good piccies to share in a few weeks time!

Some news on the personal front....

Ok, so we have just decided, in our ever so spontaneous fashion that we are going to move house!!! The aim is at this point around early August, but we have a lot to finish on the house before we move out..... so on the downside, it will probably take a bit longer than I planned to get some stock together for the new site.....

on the UPSIDE, my new workspace will be HUGE compared to what it is now (seriously, my study/office/sewing room is like a sweatshop - apalling conditions!! lol).... think a 3x3.5m room presently with a filing cabinet, tall cupboard, 2 desks, 3 machines, sewing cabinet, computer, fabric etc etc.... so, hopefully it may even make my time more efficient so I can get more done! (am I dreaming?!)

Here are some recent orders that included some more new designs:

What's in a name?

I have had a few name nappies amongst the orders lately! I love them!

Custom orders have CLOSED! I still have orders already booked until July, so I will re-evaluate during that time, and also how I go with the testing and getting stock ready will determine when I will open orders again, and for how long.

Thanks for your patience!

Absorbency vs Drying Time and Custom Orders

I would love some feedback on the absorbency of Mijee-mite nappies.... I know most people find them very absorbent, yet still quite quick drying.

What I would like to know is, would you like them more absorbent, which will increase drying time?

Is drying time important to a lot of people?

Or is absorbency more important?

PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH YOUR OPINIONS!!


CUSTOM ORDERS!!
Also, unfortunately I will have to stop taking custom orders for a period of time to make some stock and spend time on the launch of the website. Hence I will stop taking any NEW enquiries of custom orders from this WEDNESDAY 13 May. I may close the orders earlier than that, as there are only a few spots left!!!!

If you have already been booked in, or promised a place in a certain batch, these orders will STILL BE FILLED don't worry!!

I'm sorry, I just cannot keep up with the amount of enquiries and orders, and would still like to maintain a healthy relationship with my family :) I would also like to focus on the store stocking and get that happening for all those people who prefer to have fluffy posted the day after purchasing!!! Thank you all for your understanding.

Happy Mother's Day to all the gorgeous girls!

Just wanted to wish all of you loving, self sacrificing, hard working, caring, wonderful mums out there the best day!! I mean, you can truly feel that you are contributing so much to the world when you put so much thought, time and effort into investing into the future generations! Our lovely children, as trying as they can be sometimes :) only make us stronger and challenge us to try harder and better ourselves. Enjoy and take the day off!!!!!

Here are a couple of new designs....

Some more newies

Some more orders using some new designs. I didn't quite get as many orders done as I would have liked, but I am getting through them!

Monday is the start of the next batch - if I promised you were in this batch and you don't receive an email by Monday night, please email me again :) I don't mind being pestered and I wouldn't like to miss anyone!!

I am also giving a MCN talk at a local meeting this Monday, so I am hoping I go ok with that!!! I am trying to think of ways to make the talk interesting! But it is an unusual format, so I'm not sure how much I can do!

I am also sorry to announce that I cannot continue to offer the same bulk pack discount as I was. The prices of individual nappies will stay the same, but bulk discounts will not be quite what they were.... I think we all know the rising cost of all materials ... but I am trying to absorb it as much as possible :)

I'm back!

Well, I got back for the weekend actually, but I'm back in the swing today. You know the unpacking, tonnes of washing and cleaning that you need to do when you get back... And I did a major overhaul of my sewing room, which was being quickly overtaken by stray bits of cotton, fabric, cut out boosters, minkee, PUL and suede, fabric for my "secret" nappies!!, scrapbooking stuff, photography stuff, computer, filing etc etc!! And it isn't a big room, I can assure you!

Working to finish the latest batch of orders, hopefully early as it is my DS2's first birthday tomorrow and we are having a party on Saturday, so I know I will spend late into the nights stuffing goody bags, organising games, photo slide show etc!! And it would be nice to have Mother's Day off :)

Here is a special birthday nappy recently with glittery green stars:

Ok, I'm off!

Off on a little trip, that is! DH informed me the other day he decided we were going away for a few days to a conference, so I got ahead on a few orders so I could take the break. It will be fun, and we are staying on the Harbour in Sydney so we can take the boys to the aquarium etc. However, they are both terrible sleepers, very light and easily woken, and I have never had them sleep in the same room!!! Even at Christmas when we were away, I stuck one in the study off our bedroom and the other in the walk in wardrobe, both with white noise (which is also in both their rooms at home!)!! So, with especially the youngest having woken heaps and cried for hours the last few nights (sick, teething etc), and DS1 who gets in the WORST moods with not enough sleep or getting woken, it should be fun with us all together!!!

I will still have access to emails, although a little limited!

Here are a few recent orders that used different combinations, or designs I haven't used before.... I have a few more that are nearly done, just need pics, but will add when I get back...See you again later!

Hehehe, I have a secret!

about nappies that is!! I made my first draft today of a nappy I have had made in my mind for a couple of months.... one that is.... different, but I'm sure you will love!

As soon as custom orders slow down abit, and I actually get time to work on these "other nappies", they will be launched on my new website. The "other nappies" will ONLY be available by the store stocking system - a regular time each month when you can purchase the nappies that are in stock. These nappies promise to be original, and ultra special! They will not be able to be custom ordered (unless a pack is ordered, in which case one of these may be included).

Custom ordered embroidered nappies will still be available to a certain extent - I won't stock my current style embroidered nappies as a general rule in the store stockings - I think customers prefer to choose their own embroideries, colours and sizes.

I have lots of ideas, however limited time (as much as I enjoy what I do, I don't want it to take time from my family) and so it is just working as hard as I can when children are in bed, husband working etc.

IF YOU HAVE A NEW SIZE STYLE NAPPY, I WOULD LOVE ANY FEEDBACK ON THE FIT. Since making my sizes larger, I have had a small amount of feedback, but would love more, even if negative. So if you have a new style nappy, (can be differentiated by the fact that the snaps are hidden), please feel free to drop me an email, or a piccie!!

Yay! So, look forward to the coming months and all will be revealed!

WOOHOO!!! Finished!!

Ok, it was a big haul in 2 weeks, but I did it!! Mind you, I won't be able to have that many nappies on order at once again!! I'm pretty sure I have contacted everyone I need to, but if I haven't responded to you, and I mentioned that you were in the batch due THIS WEEK, please feel free to email me again! Others, I have promised in 2 weeks, will be the next batch. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE!!

So here are some pics of some recent orders, not all of them, but most of them, with a couple of ones previous to this most recent lot of orders..... enjoy!!!

Almost there!

Ok, I am nearly ready to take the next batch of orders, and will be contacting anyone who wanted to be included in the next batch. Thank you all for your patience, I just have to get the last 10 in the mail in the next couple of days.

As soon as I get a chance, I will upload some of the latest order pics. Some great new looks!

Phew!!

Ok, I have sent off the first lot of orders, and still working like crazy! In all the chaos, my 2 boys both have terrible colds, which means they cough, cry and vomit all night!! And of course, they got sick about the second that DH left for a few days, so I don't think I have sat down for 5 minutes in 4 days!! (except for a few hours sleep each night).

Let me just say, that when we get busy in our family, EVERYTHING happens at once. Is that the same for anyone else? And when one thing goes wrong, other things go wrong? DH malleting his thumb doing the paving (do you know how many things you can get out of when you can't use your thumb?) DS2 ended up with 2 black eyes and nose after falling TWICE on the coffee table (I wasn't there) and cracking the bridge of his nose on the edge. Then DS1 dropped a large full can of food on its rim on my toe! Ok, it hurt more than you think!!! To the doctor with a skin condition for DS2, (ok, he is in the wars at the moment!!! poor thing, and it's his event on the weekend! Hopefully his skin, cold, and black eyes disappear by then!!!). And a variety of other incidents, including closed Post Offices, Emails crashing etc etc.

So now just to get through the seminar tomorrow, event all of Sunday, pack and clean up on Sunday night while DH is out again, and have the next lot of orders out on Monday...

To my lovely customers, and potential customers!

At present, I am extremely busy. Let's just say I have in excess of a LOT of nappies/embroideries/singlets to finish within 2 weeks! During these 2 weeks, my husband is going away for a few nights, we are paving the backyard, I have a "speaking" commitment, a family event at which I will be hosting 40 + people, a half day seminar to attend, and other various commitments. This is amidst my stay at home boys and my Accounts work that I do.

So! I am so very sorry to all those people who I have delayed making orders until the next couple of weeks. I do not like to do that, at the same time, I do like to deliver on my promises when it is in my control. And I don't want my children to forget my name, or my house be taken over by rodents or something (is that what happens when you neglect housework??!!), and I would most like to stay married lol!!

Please bear with me during this time, I may not be as quick with emails etc... I do extremely appreciate your "business" I promise!! But I do so hope to have all happy customers who have exactly what they would like, eventually!

Thank you all so much!

New Patterns and SUPER heavy wetters

After some feedback commenting on the small make of my nappies (yes, I like them trim!), I have added a slightly higher rise to all 3 sizes. The nappies are still as trim as ever, they should just allow for more growth in the rise. All for my lovely customers!! :)

I am also offering an option for SUPER DOOPER BOOSTERS!!!! Please note, you will NOT need these unless you have a bub/toddler that outwets any other nappy in an hour or so - Mijee-mites are still super absorbent the way they are for the average bub. I had a super heavy wetter first time round and could not keep him clothes dry for more than an hour in any AIOs or Ai2s, so I know what it is like! If you have one of these, please ask about this option :)

New Fabrics Arrived!

I have received some gorgeous new fabrics! The colours available for embroidery:
Misty Sea

Huckleberry

Aqua Gelato (pictured below)

This is a red blankee minkee. It is a longer nap minkee than all of my other colour minkees, also available for embroidery:And this stunning Dynasty print which is a very dark chocolate brown (not for embroidery, not that you would want to anyway!):

I am also working on some special and unusual nappy designs which I will be getting ready for when we launch the website.... ohhhhh, exciting! You won't want to miss them!

Large Butterfly on Ivory Minkee - size LARGE - SOLD

Gorgeous large butterfly embroidery with lavender snaps on wings

DISCOUNTED...

Was used for some action shots!! Only worn for 10 minutes for some piccies using her own boosters, so the boosters with the nappy have never been worn. Also a slight indentation in the minkee (about 2cm by 2mm) where the embroidery was started again. Not noticable under normal inspection, could disappear altogether with a few washes.

$34 plus postage - 15% discount

Can organise matching singlet if desired. Please email to enquire!

Victoria Fires...

To all of my customers (and anyone else reading) who are from Victoria, I truly hope that you are all safe and well. To any of you who have lost anything or anyone, I can only try to imagine the pain and loss you must be feeling. It is such a sad and devastating time for so many people. I have just been shocked and saddened by all the news reports on the area. Our thoughts and prayers are with you...

THANK YOU to the fast response for testers!

I now have enough for the time being. I will let you know if I need more in the future...

Thanks again!

Some changes to come....

Bundles of Buns has some changes to come. Make sure you keep an eye out!

We are looking to move to a "real" website in the near future! There are also some slight changes in design for the large size nappies (initially and potentially for the other sizes depending on feedback). We are also considering a wider range of different options to suit your individual baby.

We are always open to feedback! We do want to continually improve our product, so if you have suggestions, please email them to us!

Testers wanted!!
Also, looking a bit further down the track, we hope to have a great newborn nappying system that is easy, cost effective and has continued usefulness through your child's nappy life! If you are having a baby soon, and would like to use cloth from the start, please enquire about testing these products for us.

Keep an eye out for further updates!
