Do you Cloth Diaper? Know someone who does? Or, maybe you just love CUTENESS??!
I would love to introduce you all to my friend and fellow artisan Joanna. On top of being a wonderful and hardworking mama, she makes MINIATURE cloth diapers. Just when I am tired of making another set of diapers, I think of Joanna sitting behind her machine making 2" pocket diapers with ruffles on the butt. Thank you for the inspiration Joanna. Now on to the cuteness factor.
HURRY - Run like the wind to my facebook page and enter to win this Adorable "Love and Kisses" Keychain. The giveaway ends at midnight on January 22nd, 2014. You can get a head start by Liking her Facebook page here.
How do I know how fabulous these keychains are??? well, I own several of them. Including this one below in a pocket style diaper with an insert. It's attached to my wallet and my kids LOVE to play with it while they are in the shopping cart. It has been yanked, pulled, mauled, mutilated, chewed on, drooled on and loved. But guess what - I just throw it in the washer with my other diapers and it's as good as new. Her diaper key chains are made from the SAME high quality fabrics that regular diapers are made from.
And now, here's a few words from Joanna:
"My name is Joanna, and I am the WAHM behind Weensy Baby. I am
married to my childhood sweetheart, and a stay at home, homeschooling mom to
seven wonderful kids, from toddler to teen. When I am not sewing itty bitty
diaper cuteness, I teach my kids, manage my home, and raise goats, chickens,
and a large garden to help feed our growing family.
I started
sewing as a young teen, and have enjoyed creating new and fun things for my
family and friends ever since. I cloth diapered all my children, starting out
using flats, pins and plastic pants. When my sixth child was one year old, I
really wanted to try something new, but the thrifty part of me could not bear
to buy cloth diapers when I knew I could learn to make them my self. Learning,
and then making and using them became a passion that I had not expected. I have
been sewing diapers for 4 years, and have made just about every type known to
man (or woman).
Early in
2013, I was part of an online discussion
about cloth diaper key chains, and I decided I wanted to try and make one for
myself. I had seen many simple ones, but I wanted to challenge myself and try
making a miniature cloth diaper with all the details. I found that I really enjoyed
the challenge, and it turned out so cute that I had to share it online. The
response was overwhelming, and I had several requests to buy one. Weensy Baby
was born shortly there after, and I have found my own “little” niche in the
cloth diapering world.
Since the
beginning of Weensy Baby I have continued to experiment, challenge myself, and
develop new products for my fans. I make a variety of cloth diaper styles
including most of the popular types of cloth diapers on the market. I have even
made replicas of a customer's favorite diaper style and brand.
People have,
at times, asked “Why key chain diapers? They are adorable, but what's the
point?” It is a great question, and I will share my thoughts. Many people out
in society have not heard of cloth diapers, or if they have, they have a
picture in their mind of soggy, saggy prefolds and pins, covered by poofy
plastic pants. These cute little key chains are a great conversation starter
that allow you to show others what modern cloth is, how cute and convenient it
can be, and just how modern cloth diapers work. They are portable, visible, and
are kind of like a bumper sticker for your keys, diaper bag, or purse, allowing
you to share your love of cloth, and, perhaps, introduce others to modern cloth
diapers."
Thank you Joanna.
