Wild Things at LilBees

I mentioned recently on my blog that leopard print inspires me....
So I switched the machine to black thread yesterday and look at what I've just listed!

Velour-lined diaper with a side-snapping design (great for toddlers who have figured out how to undo velcro/snaps on the front!)

Nursing pads (because you know you wanted nursing pads to match your leopard-print bra!)

Pantiliners...because every woman deserves to to walk on the wild side

All of them are part of my "It's a Jungle Out There" promotion for March: Buy any item from the themed section (including all those shown above), and get 25% off another item in the store. See LilBees shop announcement for details.

I ♥ Etsy

One of my other teams (the cloth diaper team) started doing a "theme of the month" series to inspire our designs, and I've taken that and carried it into all my products. This week is the beginning of the valentine's oriented "I ♥ Etsy" theme which includes a variety of hearts, flowers, reds, whites, pinks, and purples.
Here are a few of my theme of the month items (and I add more every few days!):
I'm putting all my themed-stock into one section, and best of all, when you purchase any item from this section, then you can get any other item in the store (equal/lesser value) for 25% off!

I also have a new sales & clearance section, with items up to 30% off--come check it out!

By the way, I am one of those shops which is affected by the pending CPSIA legislation. Cloth diapers are about half of my income, so I will try to stay open with my other items, but many other members of this team are being forced to close their shops entirely. Please, contact your legislators about this bill! Some of them have begun working to make changes, but no improvements are official yet, and it's not over till it's over, so we need to keep working! If you've already contacted them, THANK YOU! Please help spread the word!

Cloth Pantyliners have arrived at LilBees--win a FREE SET!

I used to make these, but had to discontinue them for a while when I was without a serger... I have my serger again now, and have been working to restock these popular pantyliners.

These have soft absorbent flannel on top, and slip-resistant, leak-resistant fleece on the back. Cloth pantyliners are a great option for daily use, as both flannel and fleece hold up to frequent washing. Popular uses include: mild incontinence (such as during pregnancy), protection when using vaginal suppositories, mid-cycle moisture, and, of course, the end of ones period.

These are now available at LilBees!

Now for the exciting part!

Follow this link and leave a comment on the post on my blog to be entered into a random drawing for a FREE 3 pack of pantyliners! (not necesssarily the ones shown--I will have several options for the winner to chose from). The contest is open until August 31.

Cloth for your Lil Bee--and for You!

I have been working to add stock to my store these last couple of weeks. Yesterday I posted a diaper (finally!), and last week I posted my menstrual pads and patterns. Several more projects are underway, including designer fitted diapers, more sizes of AIOs, and more burp cloths and bibs... but I just wanted to share my etsy mini (I finally figured out how to use it!)

Something for Moms, Babes and Children

Hi all,
I'm Angeline, a Canadian Mama of 3 wonderful children. Apart from being a mostly stay at home Mom, I'm also a student (which explains my etsy store name because all proceeds help fund my education). I've always loved making crafts, it allows me to fulfill the creative side of me. I also love natural products and try my best to reduce the amount of garbage our household produces.


I love Waldorf style dolls for their simplicity, timelessness, natural fibres and plain old cuteness! I try use the best materials I can find. I sew the dolls and their clothes in a corner of our family room, amidst a sea of toys and laughing children. I'm pretty sure the dolls I make absorb some of this happy karma! I am in awe of the fact that despite the distinct Waldorf doll style, every doll is different and varies from Mama to Mama.





I also sew cotton pantiliners. As an alternative to disposable liners, these are soft, washable, breathable and even more comfy. They close with a polyresin snap (no more hairs stuck in the adhesive!) I make them out of 3 layers of flannel in white, black and various prints.




I used to hand print T-shirts and diaper shirts. My sister and I used to sell our wares at summer festivals around Ontario. Although, I don't do it so often anymore, I have some stock left and so up it goes on etsy! The diaper shirts are Made in the USA American Apparel.


I am honoured to be a part of such wonderfully creative and inspiring Mamas.

Lil Bees / Brightonwoman

Hi, I'm Jenni Brighton aka Momma Bee to a bunch of little Bees (yeah, I know, corney to make a pun off my last initial, right? But it was my last initial of my maiden name as well, and my nickname in my teens was Jennibee...one thing led to another...)
I'm sorry I don't have much in the way of pictures at the moment...I'm working on building some more stock right now! My baby was born a year ago, then just as life was calming down we moved 2000 miles to rural Alaska, and I am still catching up with life, LOL!
At LilBees I offer a variety of baby items--snuggly blankets, bibs, burp cloths, slings, hats, and custom ordered clothing (such as christening dresses). I have finally finished all the diapers for my own baby, so now I'm starting tomake some AIOs which I will be selling there also. I also make cloth nursing pads, cloth menstrual pads (of my own design), PUL purse pouches for cloth pads, and cloth pantiliners. I also sell copies of my pad pattern (3 sizes of pads--youth, regular, and overnight/postpartum). Right now I only have a couple of things in that store, but I have a whole bunch of pads cut out that I hope to get sewn and listed soon!
On a different vein, I have a nice selection here of Christmas stockings and tree skirts which I made a couple of years ago and would really like to sell! I keep dropping the prices in an effort to recoup something out of my investment... (it started as a family project and a bunch of us were going to do it together, but only i really did, and very few ever sold...)
