earth child

2 days, 2 nights and 4 liners :)

Day and night sets...


2 days, 2 nights, 2 liners and a wet bag (not pictured) and ofcourse a few disco wipes for her little one :)

Well Cloth Pad mania has struck Earth Child.. Stay tuned for pics of cloth pads before they head out to their new homes

So the rules were to spend $20 on materials to make something/s for someone else and someone would do the same for you. The catch.. you didnt know who was making for you and you weren't to tell who you were making for..

So here is what I made..

For the Mamma :)

A day and a night Moontime pad set

And for the little girl
A groovy placemat with napkin and knife/fork/spoon holder and a pink one side/purple the other minky mobile with appliqued name. This is about a metre long and is soo soft (i have managed to delete the pics of these from my photobucket account :( will have to update later)

Anyways I hope my swappee likes it, I worked soo hard to try and make some nice pretties for a mother/daughter duo

What has been happening with Earth Child? A new design is taking shape, some beautiful mama pads have been born over the last few days. I have been working on fine-tuning my design and am feeling pretty confident with how it is turning out. The first that leave the Earth Child haven will be heading off to Victoria as part of a secret swap on a forum I am a member on.. When the swap is complete I will post some pics - I have a few ideas in the works and can only pray the transition from my imagination to reality is a smooth one ;) Oh, if I had a dollar for every idea that I thought was fabulous and that then fell incredibly short in real life LOL. That though is where I have learnt the most. An art teacher I had once taught by a similar creed "The learning is in the doing".. It was his answer to everything.. And as frustrating as I felt he was at the time for not sharing his knowledge, now with hindsight it was really the best answer.. and a true sharing of what he knew, without putting his own opinions or judgements on all that he said.. The Learning is in the doing...

And as another wise man once said... The most certain way to succeed is to try one more time.

Hope all is going beautifully with you dear friends

Luscious minky combined with velvety panne.. Who says bath time and change times can't be fun.. The perfect accessory for any nappy bag or a gentle wipe for the face after a picnic in the park







And for a more natural touch a minky and cotton velour combo.. So soft!!

The Earth Child blog is finally here!

I will post pics and updates to share with you an insight into what is going on both behind the scenes and at the forefront of Earth Child.
