Diapers or No Diapers?

I am considering making cloth diapers. They will be shaped like dispoable diapers, have absorbant inserts and they will be waterproof. They are supposed to save tons of money. What do you think?

What's Happennin'

Next week I hope to have more products on my Etsy page. I ordered some awsome vintage fabric for aprons. I hope it is enough for two. I should have some hot/cold packs and bibs with matching burp clothes. I can't wait to hear your comments about them.

What is in a name?

So I picked a name. It was Meredith Made. I checked the trademarks and stuff to make sure it had not been taken. I meant to register it on Etsy BEFORE I ordered tags but you know how it is when you are on pain mads. You don't always think straight. So I oredered 100 tags that say, "Meredith Made" in cursive on top and "meredithcrafts.blogspot.com" in print on the bottom. THEN, I went on Etsy and ofcourse it was taken. So I went with Meredith Crafts since it is on the tags and everything else. Oh well.

Help me pick a name

I am trying to decide on a name for my products. I was thinking Miss Amy's Thingies. You know, like Miss Amy's Hair Thingies, Miss Amy's Boo-boo Thingies, Miss Amy's Baby Thingies, etc... But since I do make adult products like the hot/cold packs and aprons (some aprons have matching children's size) I'm not sure if that is so good. I want something that stands out a little, but not too much. I need to decide before I start posting to Etsy. Any ideas?

My daughter's will you be my...?



I saw these on oncewed.com. My daughter is getting married so we decided to make them for her Matrons of honor, bridesmaids, junior bridesmaids and flowergirls. We had to break it down into groups since she had so many attendants (13). The sets were 3 matrons of honor, 4 bridesmaids, 3 junior bridesmaids and 3 flowergirls. I put the doll representing the girl it was going to on top. I learned what I would do different if I had to do it again. They turned out so cute. Everyone just loved them.
