I'm going to be hand dyeing flat diapers and selling them in an etsy shop called Pretty Baby Bottoms! I'll be getting my first shipment of diapers in today and I'm going to start dyeing them while V sleeps. I'm so excited! Also in my shop I'm selling allspice anklets (and necklaces down the line here). Allspice anklets are GREAT for teething babies. V wears one all the time and she cut her first tooth on Sunday without any of us noticing any change in her mood. She was her normal happy self!
Allspice contains tannin which tightens up gums and helps teeth pop through faster. It also relieves irritability and sleeplessness related to teething. I've noticed a huge difference in V and how she acts during the day when she wears allspice. I'm so happy with it! It also reduces drooling, which is WONDERFUL in the winter when babies get those horrible dribble rashes on their faces.
I'm selling two kinds of anklets, a beaded kind and a classic unbeaded kind. I'm so excited about this! I'll be sure to post more when I put the diapers up!
As for V and what she's been up to, she's been playing TONS. She's becoming more and more comfortable with strangers, which is a huge help during the holidays when she's being passed around from family member to family member. She got to meet her Great Aunt Marlene and her Great Uncle Larry on Sunday (along with some of her cousins), and that was so wonderful! We also spent Thanksgiving with my Aunt Lois and Uncle Dan and my cousins Kelly and her husband and kids and Danielle, my other cousin. We all had such a great time, I am so thankful that we have family here.
Before Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, we went to a city about 2 hours away to see friends of ours that moved to Nashville right before we moved to where we are now. She is expecting their first child (a girl! Yay!) in April and they've never met V, so it was a long overdue visit. It was so nice to see friends from back home! I'm getting so excited to meet their new little one, I want to spoil that little girl like crazy! I've already got a huge list of stuff to knit her and things I want to make. Good thing she won't be here for a few more months, I've got a lot to do!
With that, I'll let you all go. I'm going to be up to my elbows in dye pretty soon!
Here is just a cute pic I took of V's hand. It's amazing how tiny it is! xoxo
