This Week in my Kitchen :: Blog Hop

"Each day I find myself snapping a picture or two in the kitchen - a pile of ingredients, a table waiting for us to gather around, a sink full of soapy dishes, a cup of tea, dinner as it comes out of the oven - simple, everyday moments in the kitchen. These photos serve as a reminder of days gone by and as encouragement to carry on in this busy kitchen of ours when inspiration is lacking."

This Week in my Kitchen :: Blog Hop

There hasn't been much time in the kitchen this week, thankfully I had some meals to pull from the freezer and some chick peas for lunch time hummus.  I managed to sew a new apron after I think one blew off the line and across a field (or two?).

Newness

It feels unusual to post about anything new about the shop.  It hasn't been getting much attention for new stockings but all other areas of life have been really (really) busy.  I do have some new prints to stock and also a new absorbency.  I've decided to add an option for ultra-absorbent cores.  This core option is made using 2 layers of bamboo fleece and 2 layers of flannel.  This will be ideal for very heavy flow and also postpartum.  I'll be adding a couple of these ultra core pads to the shop tomorrow.  I'll also add this option for made to order merino wool backed pads.

morning cup, kimchi for one, daily school lunch dilemmas (any ideas?) spring fiddleheads (lots, I need to look into preserving these, cleaning them was half the battle)

A Cotton Yarn Along

knitting:

a nice little free pattern, I'm modifying it to have sleeves so I can use up more of this recycled cotton blend yarn, I think it was from Sidar?

Merino Wool Interlock Backing

I've decided to bring some wool backing into the shop again.  I used to offer wool backed pads but the fabric climbed to such a high cost I stopped offering it.  The wool I was buying years ago was thick and best suited to serged pads.  This new wool is beautiful, it's 97% merino wool and 3% spandex and has been milled in the USA.  It  makes a nice trim pad and it is so soft and has some stretch too.  Wool is a natural breathable fibre that offers natural moisture protection.

To prep this fabric I've washed and dried it on hot three times, this allows you to machine wash your pads on cool.  After a cool water wash you can put your wool backed pads in to the dryer on a low temperature or hang them to dry.

To test out interest I'll be offering some mad-to-order pads in the shop, hopefully I'll be able to continue to offer wool as yet another option for you!
