A busy week, nappy plans

Since the last market and subsequent pocket nappy stocking, the Bean Sprout girls and I have been busy taking long car trips. One day trip was to Perth for passport-y admin things on Tuesday, the other was to Busselton for church camp on Saturday.

The younger of the two usually does not travel very well, but she did quite alright.

Suffice to say we are quite tired out, hence Bubba J-wise not much has been done around here.

Next week though I intend to cut out some Bubba J Hemp size 1 fitted nappies.
I might make 1-2 special ones with quilters cotton outers if I can bear to cut into my fabric stash.

I really loved the fit of these nappies on BSBubba when she was in between small/medium sizes (when I got the nappy), when she was a few months old.
She needed the fold down front for about a week before not requiring the fold down.

Now, at 11 months and 8kg, the nappy still fits like a glove on larger snap settings, albeit a little more low cut.
The size 2 seems a little looser for her but gives ample coverage over her hips.

I have some funky printed fabrics coming in the next month or so, so stay tuned for more news.

I’ll also be testing my email newsletter system, if you see some strange test messages please don’t mind me!
Hopefully it’ll all be up and running by the end of the week.

EDITTED TO ADD: Looks like another busy night last night. Had a little baby health scare at 4.30am involving unknown pain, bouts of screaming, and high temps, so I had to rush my little one to the emergency dept. She’s fine now, but I’m dead tired.

Quick Update

Has it been a few weeks already?
Since the market day, it has been really busy here.
I think my days are quite full, what with two young baby girls, a part time job and a house to keep.
Particularly with setting up the online shop, it has been really rewarding seeing it take shape.

With the rise of free and open-source resources on the internet I have managed to craft a half-decent shop, which will be unveiled as soon as I have uploaded the product descriptions and photos to the site.
Some of these resources have been mentioned an an earlier post of mine.

After that is done, I will invite a few people to test the shop and make viagraders (real ones, or dummy ones) just to kick the tyres so to speak, test the usability of the site and generally to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible.

A few credits to note: ezytrader.com supplied the free default basic Prestashop template I used and DG Craft supplied the awesome free ‘Minimaliste’ Prestashop template of which I heavily modified to suit my needs.

I still have a few compulsory things to do before the shop can open:
- Set up product attributes and features
- Outline a few care and washing instructions
- Write out some store policies related to T&Cs, returns policy, delivery policies…. yeah that kind of necessary but not too exciting documents
- Double check contact us settings and
- Check inventory and update product quantities
- set up a newsletter system (PHPlist anyone?)

Other ‘nice things to have’ that are not compulsory:
- A few more bits and bobs of nappy info.
- Figure out how to keep the cart collapsed when there is nothing in the cart
