same_skyMy pleasant baby has been back today! She has also been hung over from the lack of sleeping this weekend, and she slept very much during the day, which allowed me to DO STUFF! I was really excited. I finished a diaper and.. well, I don't remember what else I did but who cares? I was not sobbing over my whiny baby! Whee!
I bought some PUL on ebay with which to make diapers. PUL is a laminated waterproof fabric and it costs the earth. Well, no, not really, but it's not locally available and it costs quite a lot more than any other fabric I've ever bought... but I shop clearance where possible. ;) I bought this on ebay and it ended up at about six dollars a yard, but that's cheaper than average, plus the cost of shipping heavy fabric. It seems like every time I get into a hobby, I get into some weird subset where I can't buy the right supplies locally. It's the damnedest thing. Anyway, I am loving the diapers I've made since I started using this fabric. For those who haven't cloth diapered, what it means is that you don't have to have a separate cover over the diaper.. so it's a one-step sort of thing. Anyway. I have eight yards, and can get four diapers out of one yard. I probably won't make that many, though, because I have something else I want to make out of one yard.. namely, a naked time blankie. Also, I don't need 24 more diapers. Anyway, Evelyn LOVES one of the prints. She has two diapers in that print so far and she completely freaks out when she sees them, trying to grab them and eat them. I feel like I should make her another taggie toy or something since she clearly loves it so very much, but I also feel a bit protective of my specialty fabric. PUL tag toys? Way overkill! So my question is.. is it normal to have such strong protective instincts for a piece of fabric that I don't want to "waste" it on my sweet, sweet baby? For whom I purchased the fabric to begin with? Maybe I'll just make a scrappy toy. By the way, she loves her tag toys. So simple! And they contain no lead!
