Wow so many milestones within a week, this calls for a celebration!

Fireworks starThank you all for all your support through the past 3 years of business.

A big thank you to my dear Husband for putting up with business stock at home, for organising to mail a large proportion of parcels in 2011, and for generally being supportive of my endeavours.

I’m a one-woman show. Every single order out of the 500 has been prepared and packed with my hands.

Stack of prepaid Australia Post satchels, packed, ready to be posted.Those 100 blog posts? Fun to write! and I love sharing about how to use cloth nappies to newbies, more nappy tips and how to troubleshoot many common modern cloth nappy problems. Highlights of blogging was a guest post on newborn cloth nappies at The Crunchy Mum (BubHub resident cloth nappy blogger) last year. It has been an honour to serve your modern cloth nappy needs since 2009.

Stirling Street Art Centre Arts & Crafts Market, Bunbury (Saturdays, now closed)

…was the very first time Bean Sprout Bubba came on the market after taking over the Bubba J label in April 2009.
This was the Bean Sprout Bubba / Bubba J stall. It was my very first market attendance, so the stall arrangement was quite simple. I was building up my stock at the time and only had cuddlefleece covers to sell.

What shall I do to celebrate? One year has just gone by so quickly, oh my!! What a year it has been!

Since that first frigid morning, www.beansproutbubba.com.au was launched, this blog was added, I took on other quality nappy brands as a retail stockist, added on baby ring sling carriers and then collaborated with local mums to create ecoBumba one-size cloth nappies.

I did a few more Stirling Street Art Centre Saturday Craft Markets until it closed, then did a few big market days like Australia Day 2010 in Bunbury and Capel Fest 2010 in April. Meanwhile, the website began to thrive as word-of-mouth of people (like you!) spread….

Then in March 2010 came the Great Cloth Nappy Hunt, and June 2010 was My Green Nappy Green Promise Nappy Winter Giveaway. I will be in the September 2010 Cloth Nappy Hunt before bub arrives.

Throughout the year I have met up with various local clients who came for nappy advice and ring sling demo sessions.
I’ve also sent out mail order parcels throughout all states of Australia, with the furthest parcel being sent to Torres Strait Island!
Internationally, I have customers close by in Malaysia, Singapore and as far flung as Norway in Europe.

Thank you all for your support throughout these last several months.
I hope to continue creating beautiful nappies for a few more years, and share all that I know about using cloth nappies with you whenever i have time to spare.

With the imminent arrival of Little C in October, I may be closed for a short while for babymoon/confinement month, but rest assured I will be back! :)

Sorry for the very ‘Me’ post! Simply tell me, how did you come across Bean Sprout Bubba? i would love to hear your stories.
