And yet more ...........

Girly goodness.

A very patient mumma has been waiting for these - thank you Samantha.



Tweet, Tweet in blue - which I just love and the gorgeous Tilbrook Fairies, both in the new size 1.



And then the nappy to match the mushroom pinnie from the Gossamer Dreams stocking in October.





And yes there is still more girly girly nappies just waiting for finishing for a fabulous mumma. And then watch out for the boy explosion! And keep an eye peeled on Sunday for a sneek peek at Novembers Gossamer Dreams Goodies.

Girly Explosion

Seems there is a girly explosion of semi customs and customs. Lots of frills, ruffles and super girly naps.

Firstly a 1st birthday set for a gorgeous little girl and her wonderfully mama. Butterflies have special meaning to this family. It's a reversible denim/butterfly print pinnie, with a frill and reverse applique minky butterfly - hand stitched in varigated thread.



And of course you can't have a pinnie without a matching ruffler can you, so the nappy has been made to match. Too cute!!!



Then a special custom set from the CK store that was auctioned during the hunt. Hand dyed AIO with hand embroidery and applique.



The little tshirt and nappy front - hand dyed in shades of green and turquoise to represent grass and sky - appliqued with minky flowers.



And the back - rainbow minky applique with clouds and sun.

And quite a few more either in the post or going in the next few days, more pics up tomorrow :)

Pre-orders are away

All posted bar one, which will go over the weekend :)



Size 2's.




Size 1's.

Don't forget to enter the photo shoot - if you are in Brisbane you just need to send a piccie of bub's smiley face, doesn't matter what they are wearing. Get those entries in - I know there are lots of gorgeous bubbas all around Australia.

Cherub's Kiss Photo Shoot

The Cherub's Kiss Family is looking for some cloth bottomed bubs for an upcoming photoshoot. The photographs will be used to promote Cherub's Kiss Products both on the web and in print as the need arises. The babies need to be happy, good natured, of course adorable and will need to be happy to go to someone other than their Mamas. Mums and bubs need to be available for a couple of hours and be flexible with dates and times - shoot date and place to be confirmed, but it will definitely be Northside of Brisbane. You and your baby, will be paid in Cherubs Kiss Nappies but please note these nappies will be chosen by myself and will be used in the photoshoot. I need at least two newborns (under 6 weeks) and then a variety in sizes/ages/sexes from 3 months of age to 2. I know there will be lots of gorgeous bubs to choose from so please don't be upset if your bubba isn't chosen this time.

Reusable Nappy Week - Sewing Workshop

Well Reusable Nappy Week is done and dusted for another year. It was an amazingly busy week this week, with lots of events here in Brisbane. All of those involved and well and truly exhausted but in a good way.

I had a lovely though flat out busy day teaching 15 lovely ladies and their gorgeous bubbas how to sew an AI2 from the soon to be released Pookey Pockets Pattern from The Cloth Nappy Shop.

A huge thank you to Jill and Tracy from Fairy Fabrics for arranging the hall and the kits - more kits are available from their store. The patterns are available from The Cloth Nappy Shop.

Thank you to Bek for allowing us to use her pattern. Thank you to Celena and Jade who watched countless little bubbas and made cups of tea and coffee.

I think everyone had a fabulous time.

If anyone is wanting to learn to sew nappies you can contact Bek at the Cloth Nappy Shop or Jill at Fairy Fabrics to register your interest.

A reminder to everyone that Bek also has available a snap press and overlocker hire service for those making their own nappies, ring to book a time to suit.

And some piccies of the wonderful ladies involved.




Just a reminder too that you can go into the draw for a Custom Slot from me - 2 nappies your choice by popping into the Cloth Nappy Shop in the next week to put your name down.

Cloth Nappy Shop

Well I am off to the Cloth Nappy Shop tomorrow for the RNW get together. So I thought I'd post some piccies for those not able to attend.



These two nappies will be up for grabs, one a lucky door prize and the other part of a raffle to raise funds for Breast Cancer - you can check out more items raising funds here from 4pm 19th October. The blue one is from the new divine range of minkys from Fairy Fabrics the orange/yellow one is a hand dyed cotton outer AIO.

I'll also have a custom slot on offer, just pop into the Cloth Nappy Shop tomorrow and pop your name down, the name will be randomly drawn by a little person. You will be able to choose 2 custom nappies, totally your choice, price will be dependant on what you would like and I'll post them out free to the winner, with some extra goodies.

And just a little something extra I've been working on isn't it divine?





More of these to come soon :) I'm sorta addicted to making the ruffles, now just to think of something just as stunning for the boys :)

We also have Gossamer Dreams stocking tomorrow night - we have 3 guest wahms, so be sure to pop along and see what's on offer. I have some nappies and girly clothing, simply ran out of enough time to do any more, but the leftovers will be stocked in the store late next week.

The pre-orders from 1st October are starting to trickle out, just check your account services on the CK site to see if yours has been shipped.

Now due to RNW and family committments the items from Gossamer Dreams will not be posted out until Monday. I am sorry for the delay but I only have so many hours in the day.

Custom order for Abbie

Just a couple of things

All those that had combined orders last night have been emailed, with revised totals.

Regards the lotteries, as the lotteries on Congo Cart are fully automated I can not remove your name or move it to another lottery. The owner of Congo Cart can, but we had so many enter the wrong lottery, that I can't ask him to do that everytime someone enters the wrong one.

Please read carefully before entering. If you have entered the New Customer Lottery and you aren't a new customer, the lottery will be relisted.

I'm away for the weekend, so any queries will need to be sent to angel@cherubskiss.com - please note that emails may not be answered as quickly over the weekend as during the week, please be patient, as Angel has a family to care for as well.

Hope you had fun at the stocking.

Okay that's it ..................

My back has had enough, so what is there is there and that's it.

Nappies will stock sometime after dinner. Will depend on my little ones and bedtime.

I've also put up 3 lotteries. 2 for anyone including existing customers and 1 for new customers only.

PLEASE only enter one lottery to be fair to all, and only enter the NEW CUSTOMER stocking if you've NEVER purchased anything from me at all.



And how cute did the Tweet Tweet set turn out :) I've also got this divine fabric in blue, so watch out for some more tweet tweet sets.

LOTTERY - It appears that quite a few people have entered both lotteries, so I've disabled one. There will only be the normal lottery and the New Customer lottery up - this is to be fair to all. Sorry that I've had to do this.

Some

Pictures up now on the store of the preorders, size 1's are coming as I finish them. Only photos are up of the fabrics, as I'm still working on the finished nappies, will see how many I get done today, my snapper has been absent from the team this week.







I've also just popped a couple of lottery slots up. Pre-order as per the others, but no fighting to get one.
