Diapercuts.com (Not to be confused with Diaperkits.com)

I made my first order of diaper fabric about two weeks ago and it came in the mail this past week.  I ordered:
1 yard of hemp fleece
1 yard of white microsuede
1 yard of white 2 mil PUL

Before making this order, I spent about 2 weeks researching what I wanted to buy.  I looked at all the different fabric stores that I know of (Found in a list in my sidebar) and I researched each type of fabric and what it looked like and what it does.  But here's the thing--it's hard to know what you really want until you see it, touch it, feel it, and maybe even run it through your wash or drop it in a cup of water to see how absorbent it is.

So I ordered one more thing from diapercuts: a sample packet of all her different fabrics for only $1.00

They came in about 2 inch squares and were each carefully labeled--with the exception of the microfiber which she wrote a note about in my invoice.  It was WONDERFUL! I now have something to touch and feel when thinking about making my next fabric selection.

But these little sample squares aren't only good for those of us who like to sew our diapers, I think they're good even if you just buy them.  Why?  Because you'll know exactly what you're getting when a diaper is advertised as "Minkee" or when they claim to use sherpa for the insert.

You can't go wrong for $1

And if you're into sewing, I did the research and for my order, including shipping, hers was the best price. It might be different for different orders, but I highly doubt it.  Besides, she's a WAHM (Work At Home Mom) so you it's a win, win situation

Mail

Okay, so it's well-established that I'm obsessed with my cloth diapers. I'm also obsessed with shopping online. (Almost all my Christmas shopping was done through Amazon and Snapfish :-D). With that obsession comes a new obsession with the postman. No, not that kind of obsession! But I eagerly await the mail EVERY DAY because I always have so many wonderful things to wait for! For instance, this week I'm expecting an aqua Haute Pockets One-size Diaper , an apple green one-size Fuzzi Bunz, some Rockin' Green Laundry detergent in the Cherry Almond scent, a present for a friend's little girl, and a nursing bra for my abnormally sized rack (currently a 36H). I can't TELL you how excited I am! It's a good thing my husband and I are on a tight budget. I know exactly how much I can spend on my cloth diapers from pay check to paycheck and in the two weeks that anticipate that paycheck I carefully plot my purchases, searching through websites posted on Diaperpin.com to find the best deals with free shipping (the only thing I've bought without free shipping recently is the laundry detergent as it's nearly impossible to find detergent that ships for free because it's so darn heavy!). So, what's on the agenda for next week? A diaper sprayer. Found one at nicki's diapers.com that's 29.99 but I couldn't find any with free shipping that are cheaper. It will total to about $34 with the coupon code "Madison" that I found on retailmenot.com that has always worked to take 10%--or is it 5% --off my Nicki's Diapers orders. Normally the things I buy from Nicki's Diapers ship for free (Diaper covers and pocket diapers) but alas, the diaper sprayer does not.

In any case, I'm at work, supposed to be prepping for my Spanish 2 class and blogging about my incoming packages instead because I'm just so excited!

Do you know I've banned my husband from opening said packages simply because I relish the joy of doing it myself? I'm already jealous enough that he's there when the postman comes bearing my precious gifts, so I've kindly requested that he keep the packages intact until I come home so I can still savor that small pleasure! :-)
