Cotton for nappy panels – a preview

This year I am sewing down the stash! If you want to help me to stash bust please read on…

I’m a fabric hoarder, just look at what has been accumulating in the past 2 years:

I plan to take close up shots of each of these fabrics, and put them up as options to embellish ecoBumba nappies. Something like this:

Healthy Child Expo – 11 February 2012

If you are free on 11 Feb (Saturday – today), have young children and are in the vicinity of Bunbury and surrounds, come on to the Healthy Child Expo organised by a local Montessori group. It’s just a short 10-minute drive down from Bunbury to Southwest Montessori, located in the Dardanup township.

Entry to the Expo is free, and there will be 25 stands covering various aspects of healthy  living in young children aged 0-5 years. It will be open from 10am-2pm. There will also be children’s activities, food and drink stalls and tours of the Montessori school available for visitors.

Make it a day trip by including a visit to Gnomesville after the Expo.

I will be there as Bean Sprout Bubba, with a small selection of modern cloth nappies (mainly ecoBumba handmade nappies) and laundry aids. Ask me for a demo.

Milestone giveway results are in!

I’m back with the results for Bean Sprout Bubba’s Milestone Giveaway!

Method of drawing

I listed commenters in order of commenting, adding extra entries as mentioned for sharing or for being a past customer. For the main prizes, 19 commenters impressively generated 62 entries.

I then went to random.org to get 5 winning random numbers between 1 and 62. Interestingly, random.org loved some of our winners’ numbers: I had to get 15 random numbers before 5 different winners were picked.*

Seven past customers were in the draw for the special prize of a $50 voucher. Number 4 was picked.
