Hunt week 2


I have put 2 Kknitted and fitted sets up- bamboo nappies and longies- on the PP Ozebaby store.
One of these is a St Patrick's day set so it will not be there for long.
The other is gorgeous winter white velour bamboo nappy ( it also has a lovely soft bamboo velour inner) with dusky pink roses and lovely crochet longies to match.These longies are gorgeous and beautifully shaped to fit over cloth nappies without looking ugly like some of the patterns do.
The nappy is the famous KK and makes a great absorbent night nappy when used with longies.
KKs (AIO's )are going up in the next few days; includes a few minkee.
It is very hard on my own to do every single bit of the business as well as answer a lot of messages relating to the hunt and my sewing time is being constantly lost to admin.I can only sew during the day so if other things get in the way I have trouble fitting sewing in elsewhere.
During April the only KKs available will be any stock left over from the hunt, I will not be sewing at all that month.
All nappies are now under $30-they are still the same top quality KK nappies, the best night nappy you can own, but my only interest is in helping mums to use cloth whilst still saving money. KKs are fabulous absorbent nappies and regular price was just under $40. Many of the nappies appearing now for close to that price are not worth half of that, and the really cheap ones do not work and/or fit well ; I became tired of seeing people ripped off so decided to offer the top quality nappies I have always made, at a better more affordable price.
I have now put up as many clues for the hunt as I can at this stage, on the relevant pages.The mini hunt is not hard and if you read the clues carefully it should give you all you need to start nutting it out.More clues will not be added before the halfway mark.
Even though the prize for first to find the icons has been won I hope everyone will continue to find as many as they can to support all the sponsors and organisers.

KK Instocks

These should have been up for sale by now. Unfortunately the amount of admin required with running a small business has lost me the last 2 days so yet again I have had no sewing time.
If anyone wants to buy a nappy business (you can't have the knitting part though)I would listen to genuine offers as I can no longer do both sewing and admin.I just get stuck at the computer all day; last night I got to bed at 2.30am and was up again at 6.
But seriously KKs WILL be up next week.( knits are going strong,if you want to order longies you need to do it asap so you don't have too long a wait.
I am away from tomorrow until probably Monday but will get stock up in small lots as soon as possible after that.
There will be minkee KKs as well as windpro ones.
Because the Possum Pouches site is a manual one, items have to be removed by me when sold; this is not a problem where I have several of one colour, but for items which may only have one of a particular fabric, I may list those on my Ozebaby store to avoid overselling before I can mark them sold.
I will have limited access to internet, especially emails, but will be trying to check in each day

Our knits are always available to order.

KKs. The fabulous KK (Keester Kovers) windpro AIO will be sold from instocks only during the hunt. They will not be listed in large quantities as there is only one of me; so I will add different ones as they are made. Large size instock from first week of hunt, med longs will follow. If sold out please do check back as stock will be added randomly. No KK will be priced over $30 (excluding postage).
This may be the last chance to get a KK for a while as I plan to cut back on sewing during April.

Nappy Hunt time- and a $10 soaker


March is nappy hunt month.
For the month of March I have decided to change from my normal way of doing things and will be selling KKs only as INSTOCKS.Med Longs may not be listed straight away but large should be instock for 1st.
However Knits will, as always be available ANYTIME by order and there will be lots of special prices so please quote your hunt discount code when purchasing.
I hope to have a few jewellery pieces on my minicuteture store as well.
Intro to cloth pack orders are full so will probably not be on offer during the hunt.
I have a couple of family commitments during March so will be away for 2 weekends and possibly on limited internet access at that time. March may be the last chance for a while to get a KK as I am planning to take a break from sewing straight after the hunt.My big O birthday is approaching and I don't want to be too tired to enjoy it.
I will continue to take knitting orders at all times, no breaks there.
The pictured soaker is a gorgeous rainbow and fuchsia one in lovely soft all Australian pure wool- but sadly the rainbow wool is leaking a little pink colour. I had hoped it was just residual dye and would stop after the first wash but there is just a little bit too much pink in it for me to sell it as a first.I thought there may be someone who would be happy to buy it as a second so am offering it for half price at $10. Please don't buy it as a gift for someone else without first checking with them whether they are happy to accept a bit of "bleeding".If you are interested please send me an email from my website; if more than 1 person emails between now and 9am Saturday Qld time I will draw the name out of a hat on Saturday; if nobody emails I will list it on Minicuteture during the hunt. It is regular one size fits most- Rise is approx 50cm.
My hunt is fairly easy; there will be a clue on the home page, scroll down to the bottom of the page to read it; that clue will take you to another page with more clues;these will lead you directly to the icon page.
More clues may be given on the Diaper decisions hunt thread, but not for the first few days.
Happy hunting
