Intro to cloth packs-Preorders

Later today I will be putting up pre-orders for the Intro to Cloth packs. These will be on the Ceejay site for the time being but may move to my main site later
It has been my observation that one of the reasons people don't go to cloth is because they believe it is expensive. Yes it can be; if all that is available is highly priced and decorated nappies. To start off babies need basic nappies that they can wee in, and when small, bubs are (or probably should be) changed frequently.
When I first started making nappies quite a few years ago there were only about 3 nappy makers in Australia, if that. Prices were good, products were good, service was good.
Times have changed, the market has been flooded with cloth nappies, some good, some not so good, but a lot is highly priced; also people are confused. It was never my intention to make nappies for profit; my primary aim was to get the message across that cloth not only was better but also was heaps cheaper.
I have decided to supply a good basic nappy pack, which could be given as a gift to new mums or used to supplement a small stash already acquired by a cloth user, and to make it affordable.
Packs will be by pre-order only. They take some time to make so there will be a slight waiting time, depending on how many are on the list, but probably 2 to 4 weeks. Packs contain 6 fitted nappies (with cotton outers which could be flannel, knits,fine corduroy,quilters cotton etc, bamboo or BKT soakers,velour, or sherpa or similar inners, hook and loop closures); 6 bamboo snap in boosters; 1 Little Jakes hand knitted soaker in pure wool, including hand dyed wools in our Colours of Australia theme,6 Cloth Wipes plus a drawstring PUL wetbag. The nappy is a modification of my original ceejay pattern, but is not one sized and does not have the fold over front; also the fabrics have been brought up to date to include bamboo.
Details will be on the Ceejay site, with price.
Yes the price is low
BUT the quality is not.
I have kept the price to the bare minimum to allow everyone to have a chance to try cloth.How long these packs remain at the special intro price is not known.
The fine print: These packs will NOT be customisable. Packs will be supplied in random colours-my choice. You will have the option to say boy,girl or unisex, but not to choose actual colours or fabrics, or alter the packs.They do not come gift wrapped, but will be packed the most economical way as this special introductory price will include regular postage within Australia.
I will offer slots for a particular date, and once full, the next slots will be for a later date. I will try to keep a space in case someone wants a gift in a hurry but these packs are very time consuming to put together on my own, so it is unlikely I can do them in under 2 weeks-unless of course I am bribed with something yummy.
Lindt orange or pistachio chocolate bars might work.
Nappies are classed as size small-they are not newborn size.(If you want a newborn gift pack I highly recommend Cherubs Kiss). However it won't take long for most bubs to fit into them and the length of time they will fit obviously depends on the individual child, but approx 8 or 9 kg.
By that time mums will be looking at night nappies so it is possible I will be offering larger size packs in different varieties, but that is uncertain at this time.
I am currently taking a break from sewing KK's but as I made such an enormous batch of them in September I do still have enough if you would like one; keep an eye open for some heavily reduced ones too, on the AIO page at my possumpouches.com.au site.
Knits are mostly made to order although I have a few soakers and longies in stock.

Quick Christmas Gifts & KK Limited Specials from $20

Coming to our Minicuteture store just in time for Christmas are some inexpensive pretty beaded gifts, made by my daughter and myself. These include phone/camera dangles, bookmarks and wine glass charms. We have been working very hard on some gorgeous clay jewellery but I am not sure when this will be listed as Christmas is coming so very fast and so many other things take priority.However they will become a regular feature of our Minicuteture store.
The beaded items will be available shortly.
KK SPECIALS: very limited number of KK AIOs from $25; and POCKET KKs from $20.
SOAKERS:Instock soakers for 20% off ($24 instead of $30 and free post) until Christmas but you need to mention a special code word, which you will find in the description of one of the items in our Minicuteture store. Just look for a word that seems out of place in the description, but please don't pass it on; the fun is in finding it for oneself.Instock soakers can be found here

CRAZY PRICE SALE TODAY

The crazy price sale items will be listed at the Possum P store on OZEBABY after lunch today, (assuming I manage to finish the listings in time)
Prices start at $5 plus postage.Payment direct deposit only and payment must be made after purchase, as soon as you receive payment info; postage will be combined if buying more than one item. Pictured item is a regular KK in Minkee, which is the dearest item listed, at $20 plus postage

Quick Silly Prices Sale

Sometime this week I am having a brief silly prices sale.It will include stock that has been sitting around for a while which I had forgotten about,with prices starting at $5, plus some current stock of woollies which will be significantly discounted.
I am not sure exactly when it will be but it will be in the middle of one day and the prices will be worth waiting for; I still need to find what I have and organise photos etc, so I can't tell you what will be included until it actually happens. I have been installing a new computer and have not had a chance to organise the photos yet.
Ceejay Intro to Cloth packs are also on the agenda very soon; these will not be of interest to dyed in the wool clothies, but will be ideal for gifts for new mums.
I hope to have the info up on the ceejaynappies site this week as long as everything works on the new computer.

Possum Pouches at Minicuteture

Possum Pouches is pleased to announce a new store at Minicuteture
There is one KK listed there at the moment at almost 40% off, as an opening special- it is only there for a short time.
However Possum Pouches is making changes for 2009 and this store will not always have just KKs and knits.New items are planned so watch the blog for upcoming info.

December already?

The year has flown by, especially the last 4 or 5 months.
I have spent a lot of time contemplating the future of PossumPouches as I have a "big" birthday fast approaching.
I decided to venture into some different products to give myself a chance to pursue some of my other interests and add variety to the site/s. Although I have been working hard to get these ready I have had a lot of family things on so am not sure exactly when they will all appear but I hope it will be soon. I am also making a few other changes- more about those later.
Watch this space.

Our trip to Australia Zoo was, as always fantastic. It was uncomfortably hot but Jacob had a great time at his farmyard visit and DH loved his wombat encounter.
