For tonights www.fireflycollective.com.au stocking, a yellow tie dye minky nappy embroidered with a lovely tree





Nature Rocks

Let everyone know you think nature rocks - for the www.fireflycollective.com.au stocking tonight at 8.30pm

A small all-in-2 with cotton velour inner




A Nappy with a message

Being a cloth nappy user means you're taking steps towards being "eco-friendly" - how about adding a "green" message to that nappy to raise awareness - love recycling?




Song bird

Rainbow tie dye minky witha tweet little song bird. And a matching t-shirt ;)




Going green with a green tree on green minky

This month for the firefly Collective Stocking I am taking part in a collaboration. This is my offering a green tree on lime green minky - today is National Tree Day and our inspiration for August is "Going Green" so i thought this was pretty fitting


A new addition to the cotton prints

Michael Miller's Blast off print.

I have used it with red minky here but it would really look cool with turquoise too!!




A special custom

This special nappy was created for the "Free to be Kids" Auction winner.

I used a piece of my special "misty sea" minky and 5 separeate embroidery designs - a definite one of a kind!!!!

What's in a name?

This lavender tie dye nappy is embroidered with her new owner's name - and some pretty little butterflies


Tree of Tranquility

Tree of Tranquility embroidery design on Turquoise minky - medium sidesnap.
I love overdue custom from the May stocking. The order was bumped to the end of the list because a couple of changes needed to be made - but my lovely customer has been veeeeeery understanding - and patient

hope you love him :)



Vroooooom

Royal blue minky - yet another new minky colour - darker and more vibrant that the "cobaly" I have been using as my "blue"

This one has an orange cotton velour inner to match the Vroooooooom orange hot rod


A whale of a time

This nappy was made for a Nappy Review - I hope it's new owner loves him - cause I sure do!!!

This new minky colour I am calling "Aqua" it is a lighter shade than the old Aqua - which i am renaming "turquoise"


It's a busy little bee

I agonised for hours trying to come up with something truly unisex for a prize donation - in the end i decided on this medium side snap in yellow with a Busy Little Bee embroidery

I'd put it on my girl - or a boy - so i guess that makes it unisex :)

German elephants

If you are a fan of my facebook page you should know all about this fabric - I had my eye on it for ages and finally tracked one piece down - in Germany - i had to order in german (which i don't speak) from a woman wo can't speak english - but as you can see we worked it all out - and my fabric arrived - i love it!!!!!

thanks again Mandi!!!




A new embroidery design - owl

I created this owl applique design for a special swap - wonder if anyone can guess who it is for?????



Swim little turtle

Bright and cheery lime - in dimple dot with an applique turtle - so cute


Elephant stack on fuschia

It's difficult to find an embroidery design that will match this colour of minky - i think this elephant stack really hits the spot - fun bright and cheerful


For daddy's princess

Who's got a DH who cringes everytime fluffy mail shows up - this will soften him up a bit LOL

Retro pink minky - have i ever mentioned this is my favourite shade of pink ;)


pink camo - a little bit girl...

Who ever said camo was just for boys

Pretty butterflies on pretty purple

This new purple minky is a slightly different shade to what i was using before but it's Avlyn Oh So Soft! - and "soft" it is!!!!!

there is a little bit of metallic thread through this one - after repeated washing the metallic thread will lose it's shine a little, but the nappy will remain gorgeous!!


Tillbrook pink on cherry

I'm getting to the last of my Tillbrook Sprites in pink :( A gorgeous Alexander Henry print

There's still a few nappies worth there so don't panic just yet





Movie Monsters Frankenstein

It was totally unintentional but somehow this time the nappy pattern landed on frankenstein for both the front and back - the colours look awesome against the midnight black minky!!
