SALE ! Looking For Good Homes...

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 03:37:32 GMT

Ok, so here's the deal:
Some of these were made by yours truly, many from upcycled clothing, back when I could still kid myself that I needed dainty little pads- the winged ones are still in need of snaps. Others were mangled in an attempt to figure out what works best for me- my apologies to the sellers; please don't cry when you see what happened to your babies. Some others were botched or custom orders that couldn't be returned, and others are well-loved but never get the attention they deserve.

If you likes 'em, comment below and we'll work out shipping. When we agree on an amount, you can PayPal me at: Tahanet09@yahoo.com with the $, and I'll mail out pads once or twice a week. Make sure to mention your username on the PayPal request, to help me figure out what gets mailed where (or email me your address).

RE: Quirky Quin Strikes Again !

Wed, 13 May 2009 03:57:18 GMT

These are awesome liners ! They're 10"x 3", with one layer each of flannel, bamboo and PUL in the cores. I use them as boosters under my shorter pads, to protect against the dreaded Leaks Off The Back while I'm sitting with students (in the rare moments that I get to sit down). Get yourself some of these gals- you won't regret it !

Hip "New" Lunchbags

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 23:09:19 GMT

Got a bunch of juice bags and don't know how to repurpose them ? Look on the back of a Capri Sun box the next time you're in the grocery store- you'll find patterns for baskets and lunchbags like these.

The Capri 100% Juice bag was made by Torrilynn123, and the
Capri Sun bag with side water bottle holder was made by CreativeSewingSue.
You can find both of these sellers on Etsy.com:

Susie Shiver's Creations

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 04:23:41 GMT

A friend and former coworker of mine, Susie Shiver, is a well-respected (and much loved) special education teacher/ mother of three/ wrangler of multiple animal species, both at her school and at home- don't get me started on the emu. Susie somehow managed to squeeze a few extra minutes into her busy schedule and made a few sandwich wraps and baggies, some with PUL and some without. She also made a cute dishsoap cover, which I was able to get a shot of. I thought her lunch mates were so cute that I just had to post them (along with a pic of her smooching her true love).

Susie's daughter was kind enough to supply some popcorn for my photo shoot.

Susie's wraps have unbleached jersey backings and a hidden layer of PUL.

Cute apron and even cuter horse !

Susie and the school emu share a tender moment.

Reusable Snack Baggies

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 02:46:17 GMT

I have a fabric jones, so it's a good thing that I happen to need lots of baggies to store things in. You can find these sellers over on Etsy.com.

Wastenotsaks are lined with food-safe nylon, perfect for hauling
pretzels and crackers around town.

Wrappers, Made By Yours Truely

Wed, 18 Mar 2009 05:22:31 GMT

I've been making lots of sandwich wrappers lately, which is weird, because I don't even eat sandwiches. I do, however, haul taquitos, bagels, and scones all over the place, and these come in very handy. My coworker, Susie, made one for her daughter out of an old pair of jeans.

My very first sandwich wrapper, made with a hidden layer of PUL between the 2 layers of cotton.

Arrrrr ! Ahoy, mateys, time to chow down !

Tattoo Mermaid with hunter green interior.

I may not be Irish, but my shamrock wrapper is !

Mini-wrap for cheese pieces or other small foods.

My camera doesn't pick up green well, and that's what the interior is.

Halloween candy wrap with former pajama pants kitties for the interior.

Stash Pics- Wetbags

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 23:57:05 GMT

Wetbags... where to begin ? When I'm not hauling pads around in them, they accompany me to the store to keep things cold and prevent leaks, to the pool so I can stuff swim gear in them, and to lunch (where everyone oohs and aahs over my cute "lunch bags", not knowing that they were aquired for another purpose).

QUIRKY QUINTESSENTIALS

QQ wetbags are hands-down the best for your hard-earned buck !
No bottom seams, so these bags never leak, and they're affordable, too !
If you ask nicely, Kim might sew up a bag in whatever size you ask for,
just like she did for me !

PETUNIAS

These adorable wetbags have become my favorite splurge items ! They come in 2 sizes and with coordinated straps for hanging on door knobs or stroller handles.

CLAIRE DE LUNE STAY GOLD HANDMADE

The red envelope has PUL, and is great for discreetly smuggling a single pad to-and-fro.
The green wetbag has a light PUL lining.
