Piece of a Rainbow... Drool Worthy!!

Thanks everyone for a great stocking Sunday!! Ashley's beautiful auction diaper Piece of a Rainbow went for $200!! It was featured on Dirty Diaper Laundry's drool worthy diapers board. What an awesome compliment to her diaper making skills :)


Our 1,000 fan celebration is only two days away!!! There are 35 different vendors participating and there is some awesome stuff up for grabs! I just want to share a few today... 


This cutie from Max & Meena is designed to go over cloth diapers. They are also great for baby wearing because the pant legs won't ride up. The best part? They are designed to fit from 3 months to 3 years!! You just roll and unroll the pant legs and the waist and they will adjust to fit your little one! The awesome WAHM from Max & Meena is offering up this pair and a sister pair for our giveaway. Go over and show her page some love :) She has a lot of other great products, too. I want to get my hands on some of her new woolie longie testers! 


 


Cupcake Covers is offering up this skully wet bag for our giveaway! She makes all kinds of other cute stuff too... Nursing Covers, Cloth wipes, Nursing Shields, Pail Liners, unpaper towels and more. I love her style... She has a great eye for coordinating fabrics! Check out her page to see all she has to offer :)





The Mama from SO cheeky is offering a great coupon towards a pocket or A12 cloth diaper! You might remember that we just participated in her 1,000 fan giveaway last month. This Mama makes really cute diapers and I am jealous of the baby shoes she's been working on to match her diapers! I want to give it a try for my new little squish that is due in May. She makes it look easy, but I doubt my first ones will come out half as well. Go check out her page and show her some love! 

We have so many other awesome vendors participating in our giveaway. There's no way I'll be able to get to all of them. So go take a look at the preview album here! You can enter as many as you'd like starting February first! 

Don't forget to join our B/S/T/ group here for games, group customs and all the Binky D chatter :)

Flying Solo...

I am away this week in NY with my boys visiting family, so Ashley is flying solo! She's a busy girl working on this beautiful group custom that's going to 5 lucky ladies! 


If you want to get in on a custom group in the future, be sure to join the BST group! We also do games and auctions and other fun stuff in there. You can find the link for the group here.

She's also getting all the diapers finished for stocking this Sunday at 5:00PM eastern time. You can preview the diapers for stocking here. This week we are bringing back a handful of favorite prints from the past :) 

Less than a week away from our big celebration February 1st! It was supposed to be for reaching 1,000 fans but we are now closer to 1,500!! There are a ton of amazing vendors so go check out the preview album of everything that will be up for grabs starting Feb 1st! Be sure to enter the pre-celebration giveaway for a fully custom diaper here. A winner will be chosen Feb 1st at 8 PM EST. 

On another note... Have you ever flown solo, while pregnant, with a 2 1/2 year old and a 1 year old? I wouldn't advise it!! Overall they did pretty well for two energy filled little boys stuck on an airplane, but there is always that one disgruntled person seated near you who thinks that children should sit quietly with their hands in their lap or else not be allowed on the plane. One flight down and one to go... Wish us luck on the return trip! Also, I have respect for all you northerners! It is not fun bundling kids up, dealing with cold and cranky children and trying to get them in and out of car seats when the temperature outside is in the single digits! 

Have fun at stocking everyone and don't be afraid to ask for stalking help in the BST group if there is something you have your eye on!

When Pigs Fly...

Ashley and I had a fun night last night!! Did we go to dinner? Have a girls night out? Not so much... We made diapers!!! You know you're in the right profession when working is exciting! 

Last night we worked on the flying pigs group custom. It was such an awesome print and what makes it even more fun is how excited our customers were about it! It was a total of 9 diapers, which is a big group. We worked on it like an assembly line, one step at a time. It was neat to see them all come together! 


Here are some pics we took while working...

So many inserts!

We really did have a great night and can't wait for all the ladies to send us their "on the bottom" pics once they receive these pretties!! 


Here is the finished product!!



Since we are stocking every other week now, we would like to try to find cute group custom prints like this for the off weeks. So if you miss a stocking or want to get your hands on a Binky D in-between, group customs are the way to go!! We will be on the lookout for special fabrics for these customs and will stock them in Hyena Cart. Make sure you join the Buy Sell Trade page, (HERE) because that's where you'll find all the updates on when these stockings will be happening! And remember, they will be first come first served! So if you miss out, you'll have to try again on the next one!

Hope everyone's having a great week and we will post later with some sneak peaks at some of the diapers for next week's stocking :)

And Then There Were Two...

My first Binky D Diaper
I started working with Ashley a few months ago. She showed up in one of my local baby wearing groups and I recognized her from high school. I found out she had started a cloth diaper business and that week I decided to try one from her stocking. We got to talking and she was super helpful and encouraging me to start making cloth diapers of my own. I asked her a ton of questions and offered to come over sometime and help her. Long story short, we decided to go into business together! 

But I'm just the newbie... When people hear the name Binky D Diapers, they think of Ashley! 

Ashley is really very new as a WAHM. She started last summer so she hasn't even been in business a year. She just has an awesome product and people love her diapers and they love her. She is very active on her page and she's become friends with many of her customers. 



Some favorite Binky D's past to present :)







There are a lot of exciting things in the works this year. We have decided to stock diapers every other week! Some stockings will be bigger than others, but you'll have the opportunity to get your hands on a Binky D twice a month :) We are going to limit customs to group customs of special fabrics and stocking individual customs once in a while. This gives us the opportunity to stock more often and get you more Binky D's! There are two blog reviews live at the moment... Both of which have giveaways attached to them. You can check them out here (Mommy's Block Party) and here (All About Cloth Diapers). We also are participating in SO cheeky's 1,000 fan giveaway. There is a custom Binky D up for grabs on her page live until the 18th. 


We will be starting our 1,000 fan celebration February 1st. There are a ton of WAHM's signed up giving away goodies and coupons to their stores. Go check out the preview album here



This week we will be working on a group custom order of a special flying pigs fabric.


We decided to start this blog to give all the fans out there a regular update on what's going on with Binky D. You'll hear about what we're working on, any awesome giveaways or reviews, and there will definitely be more about the 1,000 fan giveaway that starts February 1st! 

Thanks for being such great fans!!
