Give Away

This is the deal, I am pregnant and would love nothing more than to sleep but that can't and won't happen so I am going to make the day of the next 3 shoppers in my store. So the next 3 people to buy something from my shop will get a free gift. (hint: it is Red Sox, Yankees, Patriots related). If this goes well I may extend to more people and I will do a give away weekly or monthly. So shop shop shop, have fun then sleep for me.

Oh and just FYI I am due Oct 30th so if I'm a little late at getting back to you it means my son decided to make his entrance into this world.

Finally I bought a scale

So how long have I been selling online and using paypal, well almost 10 years and I finally decided to take advantage of paypals shipping method. I bought a postal scale and all I have to do is weigh on my nifty new scale and then I can pay and print out my shipping labels and no more post office issues. I never really minded going into the post office until my daughter turned 2 and I ended up having to put her in a stroller (and thats crazy in itself since there is no automatic door and there are 2 doors I have to open to get in this tiny little post office) oh and did I mention I'm pregnant now 34 weeks so its a little hard to get this done and I'm going weekly or maybe 2 times a week so I have been having my hubby go for me and even though he hasn't said it, its his least favorite place to go especially on his way to work. I think I have solved sooooo many problems buy making this purchase I can't wait to get it. I am so excited I am going to mail so much, so this means as soon as I get it going, I think I'll have to have a big SALE!! I'll have to decide what it will be. But seeing I'm still not getting any sales on etsy and that is where I'd have my sale it really doesn't matter now does it? LOL Ebay has been good to me lately but my prices are already on sale there unless you buy it now, so hmmmmmm what to do? I will have a sale on etsy though and see what happens, ya never know, especially close to the holidays.

So this week I've listed some maternity items on ebay and also some super cute toddlers Etnies skate sneakers. Also my usual red sox, yankees, and patriots tag blankets, I will put up more soon I have some drybees pocket diapers and inserts and tiedye dog coats. So take a lookie loo at ebay.

Free shipping in September

So this is turning out to be a sports month for Little Mamas Diapers.

I am offering FREE SHIPPING on all of my sports related items. Not including Diaper Cakes and also only in the U.S. anyone wishing to order from outside the US please contact me for a shipping rate at littlemamasdiapers@gmail.com or convo me on my website. Everything that is free shipping is already marked that way so its just order and pay and I will mail, that easy. So since football is starting baseball is still going, I seem to be very sports minded lately and I will be adding more tag blankets (red sox real soon, like in the next day or 2) , little pillow decorations (they just flew out), maybe even some cloth wipes (football).

So for all you sports fans its time to stock up on your gifts and any if theres any birthdays coming up.

Remember that 10% of all my sales this month will be donated to the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation in memory of my grandfather who passed away last month, he was a big outdoorsman that loved to garden and be outside, check out my earlier post.

This is all about "I need a Sale"!!!!

Little Mamas Diapers

Ok, so I'm not sure what else there is to do, other than wait. I've blogged, listed in the forums alot, posted pics and tags on flickr added my pics to my facebook and myspace page. What else is there? I don't think my prices are high, I do try to go lower than what I think they should be. Maybe its that people aren't shopping for babies right now, or are not looking where I'm posting. I feel like I'm constantly on this computer promoting somewhere and really I spend too much time doing this and not enough with my daughter lately and that needs to change but I just have this feeling that I'm going in the right direction and I will get some sales soon. I see so many people on etsy say I've had at least 1 sale a day or 10 sales a day. Boy o boy I've had my last sale in july. Well I've had more on ebay and also my hyena cart shop which I just recently emptied, I just don't want to keep paying to keep it open. So blah blah, I keep looking for more places to put my things and I've added some different items like my tag blankets and pillows, and also finally got to adding more green things like my cloth wipes and nursing breast pads. I ordered more business cards with all my correct info, so I will no longer be crossing things out on them. I also made more tags for my items and am looking for cloth tags to sew on, which will look nicer and will keep showing my name and website without the option of throwing it out.

So as my little pregnant mind gets sidetracked again I'll put up some pics and keep on keepin on!
Oh and just so eveyone knows I do know my pics are bad and need work and yes that is on the top of my list and will get done asap.

Introducing Yankees and Patriots

So you asked and I made, whatcha think? New York Yankees Tag Blanket and New England Patriots Tag Blanket. I have them both listed on ebay right now and also Yankees is listed in etsy now and Pats will be tomorrow. This should be interesting to see where the fans are and how many of each. So far interestingly enough they do not come from New York or Mass. Maybe they will at some point. Well short and sweet I just wanted to show my newest tag blankets and show that I do follow through. :D Now I'm off to watch my Red Sox!! LOL

Showin some new items to Little Mamas

Just a quick one to show what I've been up to lately.
Of course I made more Red Sox items, little pillow door hangings, or wall hangings or even use as a pillow but of course make sure the ribbon is cut off if a child is playing with it.



Now for some Green things.




I have been wanting to add these to Little mamas for so long and I finally made some. Cloth Wipes, they are a wonderful alternative to disposable wipes, they will fit right into your wipes container and you can just add water (or many people make a great diaper wipes spray).



Hemp Breast pads, they are a 4 layer hemp flannel material and are reuseable and work GREAT!!! They are so much better than the disposable ones, they can be washed with your regular laundry and reused and they are already soft and keep getting softer and softer with each wash.




I will be adding more tag blankets and wipes real soon, so keep on checking back.!!

Peace~

Little bit of saturday

I sold a Red Sox tag blanket today, I am so excited, it was on ebay too. I have this back and forth dealieo with ebay and etsy sometimes I love one and hate the other, depending on where the sales are of course. I wish I can just stay with etsy but ebay comes through when I need it too sooooo. So of course I'm a Red Sox fan which is why I'm selling those blankets, although I have had requests for Yankees blankets and didn't really take them to seriously but then I got thinking, probably a good idea, so I just may go get some Yankees fabric, and while I'm at it, I think I'll get some Patriots too, since football season is starting too. We'll see what kind of fans we have out there.

Any suggestions on teams you'd like to see/buy just leave a comment and I'll see what I can find.

So I haven't been feeling so hot today, I was hoping so get some sewing done today, I have some hemp cloth wipes, hemp breast pads and some more tag blankets to make, hopefully tomorrow I'll get some of that done. I just can't seem to get off the couch and move today, I'm thinking that I did too much yesterday and didn't give my body the much needed rest it needs. I am trying to get lots of my started projects (which is crazy because I am very anal and always need to finish something once its started but lately I have sooooooo many things to finish) taken care of before this little baby boy comes in Oct or Nov we shall see.

Oh I finally have Maya in her big girl room, its about 95% complete, but she is moved in and loves it. I have not made the toddler bed transition yet, we are starting with the crib and then we'll take done the side of the crib and then go to the toddler bed. So by the time her brother comes she will have her very own big girl bed. Now to tackle the nursery, little by little I can do that. So I feel much better and I did get major help from my mother with finishing Mayas room,or there would be no way I could have got it done myself.
Heres a pic of Mayas crib still in her old room.


Ok so a fun game, who wants to give name suggestions just leave a comment my daughter is Maya Rain, we don't want plain and overused, lets be creative, even bring back the old, we are pretty set on what we choose for the little man but we are open to suggestions. Have fun!!
