It's May

So guess whose DH forgot her birthday yesterday? I am so annoyed. We only talked about it on Monday, why can't men remember on their own? Fortunately my family did remember as did two dear friends, both 80+ years old. Must be just mid 60's year olds who have problems remembering from one day to the next.
I have given up spoon feeding people.
I am starting to reclaim some space in my sewing room/s but still have a long way to go. I am being pretty ruthless, a lot has gone into the wheelie bin.
I planned to list some nice wool for sale with proceeds to charity but am now thinking I would rather knit it up and give away the items I make. It still benefits those who need it and is more pleasurable for me and keeps my mind off other problems.
If anyone is interested in a simple charity knitting and crochet group check out the link on this page to Cloth Nappies Made Easy forum.

My mum is now back at her unit following the passing of my stepfather;she has not yet decided whether she will stay put or look for a small unit with a view;she has only ever wanted to be able to watch the ships (Caloundra,the most beautiful spot in the world).

Lest We Forget

The passing of another World War 11 Veteran

I am currently with family in Toowoomba for my stepfather's funeral on Friday. He has been very ill for some time, and doctors thought in January he would not see the week out,but he came home (Caloundra) and my mum nursed him full time until Sunday when he reached up and managed to give her a hug then just went to sleep.
I was with Mum from Sunday and then brought her to Toowoomba yesterday. I should be back at the weekend for a while so if anyone is looking for me I will be checking emails when I can.

Sale items now listed

All for sale items have now been listed on the Cloth Nappies Made Easy Forum Market. They are there until Friday and this is the last time they will be listed anywhere. There is hook and loop tape, snaps, FOE, and other stuff. You do need to join the forum to see the rest. I have nowhere left to store leftovers so grab yourself a bargain now before I get tired of falling over it and dispose of it into a skip.

Make sure you join Cloth Nappies Made Easy because on Monday there will be free boosters on offer,in assorted absorbent fabrics, plus some bamboo boosters which will be cost price.Great way to get some spare pocket stuffers or additional night boosting ;also touch tape, snaps, FOE and who knows what else.

The last of my nappy making odds and sods

I am still madly sorting out cupboards and cupboards full of bits of "stuff", not just nappy making fabrics but also dress fabrics, craft bits and pieces.
There is no way I can sort it in time for listing at ozebaby during the hunt so I have decided instead to list it on the Cloth Nappies made Easy forum in their new market section.

There will be coloured touchtape, snaps, bamboo, and whatever I find. Some will be odd shaped pieces of fabric, some dress lengths.At some stage there will be some great wool bargains. I won't know what it is until I list it, so will not be available any other way than on that forum.
You need to be a member of that forum to see the lists, and I have to say the offer of a free Cherubs Kiss nappy as a prize during March is a great incentive to become a member.
