Sale Update

This fancy new store at fishnoodles.com is a little trickier than I expected. The coupon code for this week's sale event - FreeSF - will work a little differently than we all expect ;-)

If you put $79 worth of Solo Flyers in your cart (including the prints that are now listed) the code will take $4.99 off any solid color diaper.

The original buy 3 get 1 free sale was intended for the solid colors only. I just got some prints in stock and wanted to bring those to you right away. But that changes how I have to set up the code. If you buy all 4 in solid colors, it will be the same price as if they were buy 3 get 1.

In addition to stocking the prints, this deal gets even better -- once you hit the minimum of $79, the code will take $4.99 off every solid Solo Flyer, no matter how many you buy.

5 colors on Friday!


The dry spell has ended! Friday April 9 at noon, all 5 of the new solid color Solo Flyers will be available and should be in supply from now on.

Next week be on the lookout for Wrapper covers (side snap).

Prints? Well, as it turns out, the reason for the delay is that laminators are changing to more earth-friendly ways of processing fabric into waterproof PUL. So that's good, right? I'll have prints in stock as soon as I can but still no estimate on arrival.

Hope you are getting some nice weather where you are. Our tulips just opened and look so pretty. Happy spring!

The waiting is the hardest part

It's been a while since I've posted -- feels like I've been waiting forever for my next round of Solo Flyers. It's actually only been three weeks since the last stocking, when I stocked what would usually be a whole month's worth of diapers. I was delighted that they sold out in 3 days!

However, it's left the store mostly empty for a while and I apologize for not anticipating the demand. I'm pleased to say, though, that there are a whole lot more coming, and in future I don't think we'll have this kind of empty store situation.

In about 2 weeks I should have the new colors in hand, so without further ado, here they are:



These are the winning colors from the poll I posted a while back. The top girly color was violet, the favorite green was spring, and the best dark was black. Sky and mango as you know were the other winners and will continue forward.

Okay, so what about prints, which we all love? The main US company that does the lamination for just about every diaper company has been undergoing a reorganization, and without prior warning they put everyone's orders on hold for a month. This has delayed the new prints and I am (sigh) still waiting on the fabric.

Covers! Let's not forget these. I have Wrappers (side snap) in six colorways coming soon (probably about three weeks) and Snappers (front snap) to follow after that. Look for newborn covers next week (April 2) at Bitty Fluff.

It's a little like being pregnant, knowing all this lovely new fluff is in the works, and just waiting...and waiting...for it's arrival.

Solo Flyer Friday



The first batch of Solo Flyers are ready to go (on Friday March 5 at noon eastern) and they look great! We've started with sky blue and mango orange. A while back I asked for votes on favorite solid PUL colors. Sky blue was the winner among all the shades of blue, and mango was the winner among all the yellow-orange-red shades. So those are the colors we've chosen for starters. Fun colors that work for either gender!

So, you know how I like to give things away? Let's kick off this stocking with some freebie goodness. I'm going to do a drawing for one in sky and one in mango, in size medium (the most popular size). Put your name in between noon Friday and noon Sunday (EST) to see if you win!

Now, I figure one of the first questions I'm going to hear is, "when will you have more colors?" I've definitely got more in the works but it will be a few weeks. We're taking this one step at a time, making sure we do things right. "And prints?" Yes! I have yards and yards of print PUL on order, it all just takes a while, realistically probably May before I have fabric in hand and sewn up.

Many thanks for bearing with me through all these transitions. Starting a small business can be a wild ride (kind of like parenthood), so I'm glad you've stuck around to watch. And I really appreciate each and every order.
