New Nursing Covers

I just added some nursing covers to my Franklin Goose page. They are getting ready for Breast Feeding awareness month in August! (something I will be doing alot of, I only have 3 more weeks til my little one arrives!)



FRONT recycled from an old velour track suit

BACK includes a soaker made from the same velour

I am also working on posting reusable snack bags made from PUL ( same fabric that makes diapers water proof) and a few diapers made from recycled fabrics

Bento give away and more...

There is a great bento giveaway going on at Another Lunch and it benefits a child in need!

What did you wear?

So Im taking a casual poll as to what most women choose to wear to labor in. With my 1st son I wore a poly cotton blk mid thigh length tank night gown. Know I know 99.9 % of most woman end up in the buff when hard labor and delivery starts ( as I did too!).And those hospital gowns are not an option for me, I even but it in my birth plan! dont ask me to but that on its not going to happen..haha! But I think its important to have a special gown or shirt that you don't wear until that moment you know your laboring. I choose not to wash the gown I wore when I was in labor with Brix, I still have it unwashed in a special "baby" box along with a large piece of hair that I cut before I washed that day out of my hair.


Im am thinking with this baby I am going to opt for a tank cami with a built in bra, what did you wear when you labored??

Amy Butler organic towels!

These arrived today (thanks mom!)Lime and Orange 1st and 3rd from left to right!! They look great in my newly painted bathrooms....err uh ... well one down one to go. Im also finished with my Franklin Goose swim diaper orders!!! all in all I think I made close to 50. Although I wasn't able to attend the Tiffany open house at The VMFA I did receive this..



7 more weeks to go, Im hoping he waits until the end of the 1st week of August to arrive, I stop working the 2nd week of July so that will give mw a nice two weeks to relax and sew some diapers for him!! I really like this newborn pattern..

I cheated on you!!

Im not going to even comment on my lack of blog post in months, all I can say is Im busy! Ive been busy helping my husband move his restaurant, busy making a recreation of a Loie Fuller dress for the VMFA, busy making over 80 back ordered swim diapers for Franklin Goose and oh yeah busy growing a baby!!!

I did cheat a little and was asked to write a blog for Franklin Goose about homemade beauty products you can check it out here

I have been documenting my work and when this little guy comes in aug. and things slow down I'm sure I will be making a few late nite nursing post!

Things Ive been working are more cloth diapers, fitted hemp crib sheets, cloth baby wipes made from organic 14 oz terry cloth ( heaven!!) a new diaper bag of my own design no pattern thank you very much!!

cheers Jenny

I want to make this, sans the oilcloth to toxic for my new baby boy, I'll use this instead arriving soon here.

And this, for Brixton's, Oh and this to match my wallet.

OH well back to "work" making these

Vegan Stuff

No I'm not vegan,( right now I was for 4 yrs) but given the choice I will always choose vegan food. I eat a very small amount of cheese, and usually only goat cheese. I have not drank cows milk in over 6 years, but I do eat eggs, local free range, and organic if I'm feeling like the splurge ( my neighbour down the street has 3 new chickens I'm dying to ask for some eggs)

One thing I always, always eat vegan is dessert, whether I make it my self or buy it. Mostly because I feel if I'm going to indulge I want it to be as healthy as possible and vegan ingredients are usually of a higher standard.

So I was delighted while grocery shopping today I stumbled upon a new ( or new to me) line of vegan gummy candy! Usually something that is totally off limits to vegetarian and vegan due to the gelatin.

I am also trying my hand at vegan goat cheese.

And after 5 yrs, 4 films, countless shifts at 821, 1 1/2 pregnancies my Danskos have bit the dust, and since they don't make non leather Mary Janes any more I have my eye on these solely for just working in!
