DDF @ PP

I am really pleased to announce that Possum Pouches is now the Australian licensee for Daddy Flats, created by Dawn from That Bottom Lip Designs.
These are a 2 layer flat nappy, with no elastic, that folds as easily as a trifold, simply flip to one side then back the other way and you have a flat nappy complete with soaker pad. It comes in a day version ( 6 absorbent layers) or night version ( ten absorbent layers).
I will be making these in all fabrics including bamboo.
It is planned that from early May all nappies will once again be sold from email orders at any time. This will include the fabulous KK windpro nappy for night time and/or heavy wetters; the ceejay fitteds (and pul version) for everyday, your budget nappy choice in small medium and large, and daddy flats.
Pockets, wool KKs and pul KKs will be offered only as instock OOAKs as time permits.
Mother's Day Jewellery is now listed at Ozebaby, check my earlier blog post to find out how to get a discount for very limited time only.
And last but by no means least we got our very first egg from our lovely new chooks today;hopefully I never have to buy eggs at the supermarket again.The first to lay was the one Jacob had named "Eleven".
Easiest way to contact me over next few days is via the website-I have redirected the contact email and will be checking that address a few times when possible.Orders will come to that email if sent via the site.

Mother's Day Jewellery and ???

Hand dyed Australian made silk or chiffon scarves with beaded scarf rings, necklaces of lampwork, twisted wired, gemstones and asssorted beads, bracelet,watches, listed tonight on Ozebaby, these would make ideal Mother's Day gifts. Purchase early to be sure of postage in time for gift giving, as I will be away from Thursday of this week until Monday, for my 60th birthday party. For a limited time blog readers can get a discount code for jewellery only, for orders placed and paid for between 9am Qld time 27th April and 9am (Qld)Wed 29 April, by emailing me using the email address with which you will place the order;I will email you back your own individual code which is valid only until 9am Wednesday QT-can only be used by you once from the same email as you apply for the code and proof of payment must be received by email.
Also "watch this space" for something new

Happy Birthday-party time

Early in May I celebrate my 60th birthday. I am having a BIG party where you get the surprises.It will be held at my Ozebaby store and on my websiteI am starting it a little ahead of May to allow for some jewellery to be listed in time for Mother's Day.These will be at very special prices for a short time only.Free gifts too.
There will be some surprises, and some OOAK's but always in keeping with my goal to provide the best nappies to do the job for which they were intended, at the best price. More info on nappy products will be here on the blog.
KKs will be available once again by email order- I do not have stockings, random or regular; if you want a KK please email me from the site. I am slightly changing the way I accept these orders, so I don't get swamped; please check the KK AIO page for related info in the coming days. I will always try to provide you with your nappy when YOU want it.
Intro to cloth pack orders are full for May, possibly into June. A medium pack will be introduced soon.Other things in the pipeline too, more on that later.
I will be MIA over the May long weekend,when my family is throwing me a small party.
Emails replies may be slightly delayed at that time.

Happy Easter

Some sad news

Many of you have heard me talk about Frances, my lovely knitter from Adelaide;some of you will be the owners of garments knitted by her.
Sadly this morning her husband David passed away.They were married for more than 60 years,something quite rare these days.
Please keep Frances and her family in your thoughts and prayers at this time.

Changes are coming

I am taking time during April to implement these changes.
However if you urgently need something by all means email and I will do my utmost to help if at all possible.
I try to keep one or two KKs on hand for emergencies,but stock is low after the nappy hunt and I will be unable to promise that I can supply a KK this month, depending on how other commitments proceed.
Do keep an eye on the home page of the site-you never know what might just pop up there during the month;any surprises will be posted at top of home page and/or on this blog.

April-Hunt over

Well the hunt is over for another 6 months.I have added the solution to the webpages and will leave it there for a couple of days.Congratulations to those who found it.
During April I am taking a break from sewing nappies. I have been working from 6am until 2am most nights, usually sewing during the day and knitting at night and I have had little time to do "normal " stuff so need to catch up on my life.
I turn 60 in a few weeks and DH turns 65 the week before that.
I have decided to put a hold on all NAPPY orders for at least April. Any stock on hand will still be available to purchase as instocks, until cleared, but please do not ask me to do a custom as I have a problem saying no and I really need some time to do other things.
I will continue to accept knitting orders ANY TIME for soakers and longies but please be aware orders are filling very fast and at this stage I can not promise anything more for April; it is however impossible to gauge the waiting time accurately but I prefer to err on the side of later rather than soooner. My lovely knitter in Adelaide,Frances needs some family time also.
I have some limited stock of KKs, and some minkees which are on the fitted page.
All nappies are priced below $30, in keeping with the theme of cloth on a budget. Knits are also budget priced, but these prices apply to standard items,with wool chosen by us on your behalf; extra leg or rise lengths may add to the cost as they use a lot more wool.
All my stock including jewellery will be on the Possum Pouches site only, for April and if I get time you may see a few items listed during the month as one-offs.
Please watch this blog for updates in case anything gets added to the site during the month-you never know what you might see there.
I am also cutting down on my online time; I am here so much of the day that it also is eating into my work time. I will answer emails once or sometimes twice a day,either early morning or in the evening and will possibly not reply at weekends.
We have had some additions to the family this week with the arrival of our lovely chooks. DH built them a Chook Hilton, complete with CD Rack ladder ( we are not big fans of Ikea so were happy to give it to the girls) and last night was their first one in their new home;I am not sure if they enjoyed the noise from the lorikeets early this morning though.We are hoping for lovely yellow yolked eggs very soon.
