I’ve been busy! I’m making all sorts of things for Loin Cloth Apparel and Accessories — I’m hoping to get more sales as time goes by, and have been doing some great bartering in the meantime!

I’ve gotten a couple of fabulous baby slings, and an awesome set of custom tie-dyed clothing. A whole matching set for me, John, & JR. There’s even a little onesie for when baby #2 comes along. It’s damn adorable. And I traded my goods for all of that!

I’ve come across some absolutely incredible natural/organic products lately. Mountain Madness Soap Co. has amazing soaps, shampoo bars, body butters, and bath boms that are all paraben-free and SLS-free! She even showed interest in buying one or two of my totes! Also, Robin’s Song has this heavenly totally organic shampoo that is just to die for, and it’s made my hair the healthiest it’s been in… forever. I love it, and can’t wait to get the other “flavors” she has. And I totally love that I’m helping support local businesses every time I use their products or rave about them!

I’m going to try to make friends with my sewing machine this weekend. Cross your fingers for me. It could be disastrous. I have a project or two in mind, but have no idea if it’s going to work in my favor or not. Here’s hoping.
