“What is family cloth?!” some of you are asking. Some of you don’t want to know. lol
It’s cloth that’s used in place of toilet paper!
I’ve had to come to grips with the fact, probably well known by ALL others in the human race, but constantly denied by myself, that I am indeed, NOT wonder woman!
*gasp*
With this profound conclusion, I’ve begun accepting co-ops again, outside of those run by myself, on the facebook page. I just can’t do it all, and running co-ops is a lot of extra work! However, I keep having to say “no” every time someone asks if I will be hosting a co-op soon! So… after deliberating, arguing with myself, many times over, (yes, I talk to myself, quite often actually. Don’t you?), with, “Yes! let’s do it!” then “No! don’t!” I’ve settled on “Yes! Let’s have some co-ops, run by others, again!”
We’ve got two upcoming co-ops, both open now actually.
One that is closing on January 19th, (that’s coming soon!) on this site here: http://www.crunchy-cooperative.com
I’m quite sure some of those on our facebook page are already a part of the Crunchy Cooperative, and may not realize we have a co-op open there at this time. For that co-op, participants order directly from the co-op host, and I will be shipping the full order to her when it is complete. From there, she will ship to the participants!
The next co-op is being hosted on the hyenacart forums, closes on Feb. 7th and is being hosted by Becky, here: http://hyenacart.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=156124
I’ve known Becky online a very long time, and she’s done co-ops for me in the past. We’re doing things a little differently. She’ll be rounding up the orders and answering questions, and then handing them over to me. I will be posting private listings with the co-op orders individually on my cart once I have received them all from her. From there, participants will be in direct contact with me about their orders and I will be shipping direct to participants.
But… the pièce de résistance? The information that’s most important of all, what you’re all really ‘DYEING’ to know…
THE COLORS!
I’ve put up a gallery of the fabrics dyed for these co-ops, and you can find it here:

But of course I must share a few photos here!
Close ups.
Bright! Fun! An all time favorite of our customers. Deep deep pinks, golden yellows, some aqua, lime, and orange with some softer tints of pinks here and there.
Red, blue, yellow, and everything in between! A primary rainbow of color! Variety is the spice of life and there’s lots of variety here!
Grapes, blueberries, raspberries, boysenberries, even bumbleberry! You name the berry, I’m quite sure you’ll find the color is in this piece of fabric!
When the gemstone turquoise was first discovered, it was named Turquoise but was also called Pierre Turquoise. A natural turquoise gemstone is a gorgeous mix of aqua with hints of green and even bronze. Turquoise, one of my absolute favorite dye colors!
And there you have it. Four lovely shades, for two great co-ops. If you’re interested in purchasing our pads at a discount (20% off is the typical discount) then head on over to one of the above links and join in on the fun!
