  • New stock is previewing and goes live tonight!

    We’ve got new stock up and it will all go live tonight.

    The kids have been busy cutting re-usable cotton balls, lots of pretty sets.

    Facial Packages:

    We’ve also got lots of single pads, and packages this week:

    Postpartum package:

    Sampler package:

    Ultimate Pads

    And our new product, “milk stops” for those who want control over when they have waterproofing or not. Great for with our non-waterproof nursing pads, at night, and when you need really great leak proof protection over your nursing pads!

    Your H.E. Nursing pads simply lay inside the “milk stops”.

  • Customs, and house selling update.

    Just finished up some more customs so I thought I’d share some photos.

    These first four photos are for one mama, her postpartum stash.

    Ultimate Pads

    Ultimate II pads

    Heavy Wrap Wings

    Ultimate Heavy Flow and Nursing Pads, including a new product we’ll be ‘debuting’ shortly, milk stops.
     A waterproof ‘shield’ for backing non-waterproof nursing pads (the white contoured shapes at the bottom right).

    The non-waterproof nursing pads simply lay in these contoured milk stops, as shown in the next photo!

    These next three are for another expecting mama:

    Ultimates and Ultimate II’s

    Heavy & Medium Wrap Wings

    Light Wrap wings and PantyWraps to round out her stash

    And one last custom, Homestead Colorway, dyed by Lisa, formerly of Selah, now Becoming Art.

     

    Thanks for looking! 🙂

    As for other news, about our house selling progress.

    As some of you may remember, we have a contest, still running too, where you can try and guess the date our house is officially sold, as in the closing date, you can see the details of that here: http://homesteademporium.wordpress.com/2009/05/17/win-a-100-00-gift-certificate/

    By the way, if the date you’ve chosen has already passed, all you have to do to enter a new date is share about Homestead Emporium, and link to our shop somewhere, then come back and leave us a comment with a link to where you shared and your new guess!

    We don’t have any new news as of yet, but we have had quite a bit of interest in the last couple of weeks so we’re hopeful that after this long wait, maybe, just maybe, we could be coming close to the end some time in the some what near future. LOL That’s as much an update as I can say, because that’s as much as I know. There’s more interest, but other then that, nothing new. We had a showing today, and we have another tomorrow, both times they were out of towners hoping to move to the beautiful west coast. 🙂 Tomorrow’s showing is ‘sort of’ a second viewing. Their friends came as saw it for them first, and tomorrow they will be arriving and will come see for themselves. 🙂 We’ll see how it goes.

    In the meantime, we’ve been going full steam ahead as per usual.
    Custom orders are still heading out the door and we’ve even got some new products coming up. We will be debuting our “milk stops” as shown above, and we’ve also been approved to start offering our own Homestead Emporium “Ultimate” version of Little Comet Tails Not-So-Flat-Wrap! We’re pretty excited about these.

    Here’s a sneak peek at one I sent to a good friend. 🙂

    Homestead Emporium’s “Ultimate” Not-So-Flat-Wraps will be created with luxurious fabrics, as you’ve come to expect from us! Plus these will be pinnable, and snappiable, creating the “Ultimate” fit for your baby! One side offers luxuriously soft hand dyed bamboo velour, perfect for pinning! While the other side offers a cute print, and bamboo fleece, perfect for snappis! Super soft, super cute, super fun, and even super absorbent with ELEVEN layers of absorbency through the center!

    We hope to debut the “milk stops” on Tuesday evening at our hyencart, and the “Ultimate” Not-So-Flat-Wraps on Thursday evening at LilyPadLanding . We’ve got three ready so far, two are girly and I dare say, covered in cupcakes. 😉 The other two will be boyish, or one boyish and one gender neutral. We haven’t decided which to offer yet. 🙂

    That’s all for now! Have a great weekend, and we hope to see you all next week, on Tuesday at the shop and Thursday at LilyPadLanding!

  • Stocking stocking stocking!

    I’m excited about today’s stocking. Some of these fabrics today are my absolute FAVORITES!

    I asked Pam of The Indigo Onion if she could dye some HomemadeMama colorway, in swirl! I think it turned out awesome and I have a couple of listings using that colorway. 🙂

    HomemadeMama Swirl

    Stormy Sunset (my husband and one of my twin dd’s both said these look more like “volcano” but… I just couldn’t bring myself to naming it Volcano, you know, since it’s just kind of TOO fitting for pads? lol)

    My personal favorite set this week, Jade Rainbow. I just love the mini me look of these two. The UltiMini just looks so cute! (yes, I have a problem, I know it and I don’t care! :p)

    There’s lots more colorways as well.

    We also have LOTS of EnduraPads listed this week. My source for our EnduraPad backing let me know a few months back that they could no longer supply me with the fabric I was using. Because of the economy, they were having to scale back on the fabrics they were offering. I was SOOOOOO sad and spent weeks and weeks searching for a new backing fabric that I felt was suitable! After a few ‘no-gos’ with other fabrics, I finally found this one. Nice crisp white, soft and comfy, and totally waterproof, just how I like it for the EnduraPads!

    We also have a few sets of Super Soaker nursing pads this week.

    HomemadeMama Swirl colorway, just one pair at this time.

    And Pink Sapphire colorway, several pairs.

    Thanks for looking! Everything goes ‘live’ tonight at 8pm est/6pm pst!

  • It’s A Swirly Extravaganza at Homestead Emporium, Tuesday July 14th!

    Come and check it out!

    I dug deep into our stash and found some pretty bits and pieces of swirly goodness to use for this week’s stocking. Most of this is the end of our current swirly dye fabric stash and I’m sad to see it go! I can’t pick a favorite, but I do really love the preppy swirl and the forest, oh, and the violet swirl, and… see what I mean? I can’t pick one favorite!

    When I cut the swirl dyes, I try really hard to fit each swirl ‘pattern’ onto the perfect sized pad, for that piece. I love playing with the movement of the dye. Pam does a lovely job with each each piece. 🙂

    So head on over, I’m only going to share a few photos here because everything is previewing and ready to be seen at the instock shop: www.hyenacart.com/HomesteadEmporium

     

    Enjoy! I know I sure have. 🙂
