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.

KKs INSTOCK

KKs are starting to be listed on the PP AIO page today. These are just $29.95, less if you have a hunter's discount.(postage applies)
There will also be a few minkee KKs listed on the Fitteds page-while minkee is not waterproof, it is close, so these do NOT have any pul in them but do have a layer of lightweight windpro in the wetzone,making them ideal for daytime as is, or as a night nappy with a wool cover,which we can knit for you.
Photo is of a beautiful aviary escapee who lobbed into our back yard this morning to join the regular lorikeet feeding session.We often have cockatoos,galahs, king parrots and rosellas join in but have only had a couple of these, obviously escape artists.

Longies set

This luscious pink rosebud velour and bamboo nappy with gorgeous crocheted longies is currently listed on our Ozebaby store- will be removed soon.

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
