Oh Neglected Blog, what is going on at A Lovely Start...

Yes, I am still around!  Things have been busy at A Lovely Start these days.  If you are on Facebook, be sure to hop over to our fan page.  Things are always hoppin' over there!  That is where to be to get all the notices about stockings and lots of special offers, sales and auctions!
I am currently part of an amazing "Character themed" auction at Manely Recycled by Audioamy Fan Page on Facebook!  I have this truly unique My Little Pony upcycled longies up for grabs! Auction closes Monday, October 10, 2011!

You can find A Lovely Start stocking regularly at Bitty Fluff on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month and A La Mode on the 15th of the month on Hyena Cart.  My own poor Cart has been neglected, but I hope to get a regular monthly or bi-monthly stocking date happening for it as well in the New Year.
Tomorrow, October 7, 2011, I have this fabulous little girls set stocking at Bitty Fluff.

I also have a New Years goal to get back to blogging regularly as well.  In addition to highlighting the items I am working on, I would like to write some general Cloth Diapering and other posts that represent me, my philosophies and my business, as well as answer some common questions I get.

So please continue to stick around!  I will see more of you soon. I will leave you with some pictures of some products I have recently completed!

Hyena Cart News!

I am excited to announce A Lovely Start has become a regular vendor on two popular Hyena Cart Congos!  A La Mode and Bitty Fluff have welcomed me to their groups of talented mamas and you will now be able to find me stocking my wares each month on these great congos!

What is a Congo, you ask?
A congo is like a little online "mall" or "craft fair" where all the vendors work together to offer the shopper a nice variety of products from one location.
You must sing up for a Hyena Cart account to purchase from here, but it is easy and essential the same as purchasing directly from me.

A La Mode
This will be the new home for my wetbags, pail liners, hanging diaper pails, wipes, kitchen wetbags, unpaper towels, change pads and gift sets.  New items will be stocking on the 15th of every month with the first stocking this Friday, April 15th at 7:00pm Hyena Time!
The following are a sample of what kind of goodies you will find from A Lovely Start on A La Mode!
Apple Gift Set includes Change Pad, Wetbag, Wipes Bag, and 4 wipes!

Bitty Fluff Congo
Bitty Fluff is such a fun congo as it is All Newborn, All the Time!  I just love making itty bitty newbie stuff.  I will be stocking on Bitty Fluff on the first Friday of the month and usually on the third Friday as well.  I was a guest vendor with these wonderful ladies in March and I was flattered to be invited to join them on a regular basis starting in April!  My debut regular stocking with Bitty Fluff was April 1st and I will be participating in the  Scrappy Stocking this Friday, April 15 at 2:00pm Hyena Time!

Busy Busy Busy...

Thought I should get a post up of some of the latest things happening at A Lovely Start and share some pictures with you! My FaceBook page has been buzzing lately with new products and giveaways! I know some of you don't have a FB account, so I need to hold a giveaway over here on the poor neglected blog. Tell you what, if I get 100 follows over here, I will hold a giveaway over here! *wink*

News: March 4th is my guest appearance on Bitty Fluff! I have so much to do for that stocking and I think I still need to confirm my place with them. The time sure gets away on me!

What I have been sewing up:
Wool Footies Gift Set

Lots of Super Soft Deluxe Waterproof Change Pads

A bunch of multisize diapers. These come in two sizes, Size 1 (NB/s/m) and Size 2 (m/l/xl)

Today is the first big stocking at A Lovely Start on Hyena Cart! I am very excited! It will be at 3:00 Hyena Time (EST) and there is a lot being stocked.  I have been working on more embellished longies and footies.  Oh how I love doing these!  Here are a few I have completed and will be on Hyena Cart today!

Here are a couple things you will find in the sale.

Sneak Peaks and News...

I am excited to be a guest vendor on the Hyena Cart Congo - Bitty Fluff in March!  A Congo is like shopping at `Mall`online.  Bitty Fluff Congo is a group of vendors that all feature Newborn items and items that pamper new moms.  Items stock the first and third Fridays of each month at 2:00pm and in March, my items will be stocking along with many other great Newbie things!  Very Cool!

And I want to share some sneak peaks at some Upcycled woolies that will be available in my store soon!
