And the hat goes to...

OK - I have to admit that I was so excited today! I can't wait to see who the lucky one will be. So, with full of excitment I got up at 5:30am this morning - lol.

And here are pictures step by step :D

1) The preparation

I wrote down all the 39 names (I have 40 followers but 1 of them is myself - lol, so I didn't put my own name in there ;) and put it in my favorite chinese bowl (Yes, it is clean ;)

2) I then slowly reach the bowl and stired them well for a few minutes or until I feel that it's time.

3) Then I just picked one of them and my heart went crazy with full of excitement...who's gonna be...

4) Here it is, I got one in my hand. Now, there's no going back...! So, I open it up slowly. It's kinda difficult to multi-tasking at this stage. Take pictures and tried to roll out the paper. And as you can see. The picture didn't turn out that great - the name was on the other side - duh!

5) And the hat goes to...

Can you read my handwriting? OK - I was a bit lazy and didn't wrote down everyone's full name. This one says "NovemberSun" as for "NovemberSunFlower"

What's your favorite diaper cover?

So, I wonder what's your favorite diaper cover as they are tons out there.

I got a lot of recommendations for the imse-vimpse diaper cover but it looks so...plain...just white and that's it! Not many selection. So, it's kinda boring to me. However, I really can't resist all the oos and ahs about this diaper cover, so I may just have to order one or two, just to see how it works.

For those who have this diaper cover, what's your verdict? Like it, love it, or hate it? Let us know before we spend money on it ;) though it's not that expensive.

Now, move on to the more $ friendly option. The Thirsty diaper cover. It's only $11.25 per cover, it's water proof, and it's great for day time. However, judging from the quality I personally don't think that it will last for more then one child. It's very colorful, though. That's what I like.

One reason to cloth diaper is to have fun, so when the cloth diaper or the cover come in fun color, style, and pattern make it even more fun!

Here's something for night time that work pretty well but very pricey! The little beetle diaper cover. It costs? $38.95. It organic wool, so it's great for night time and nap time as it's more absorbance then the plastic cover.

But let me show you my absolutely favorite covers! My own! I love these diaper covers so much that I acquired a license to sale. It's absorbant, stylish, and so-so cute. It make with 100% peruvian highland wool. I just love them :)

Of course you don't have to get them from my shop. You can find hand knit diaper cover in many sources, just google them around. They are better for you baby bunz because it's airy, so the chance that your little one will get diaper rash is even less. However, be carefull, though, which hand knit diaper cover you buy as different pattern provide different absorbancy. So, if you had use hand knit diaper cover in the past and wasn't happy with the absorbancy, then it's highly because of the pattern, and perhaps it was lanolized.

Now show me your fave diaper cover, which one is it?
