Carrier LUSTx2

Posted by Michelle on Jan 5, 2009 in Babywearing, Crafting | 1 comment

OMG. I was just looking at The Babywearer DIY boards and I found someone making the most gorgeous DIY meitai with angel wings on it!! It turns out that it’s a faux take on a Scandinavian custom meitai maker called Eye2Eye that makes some seriously luxurious meitais. Here’s a TBW thread featuring the original E2E Angel carrier.

I am in awe. AWE I SAY. I can’t say I’ve ever salivated at the thought of a baby carrier but there’s a first time for everything, right? To hell with the all the other uber expensive, luxrious baby carriers…. I want this one. My daughter’s name demands that I have an angel themed carrier.

Sadly, Scandinavian carriers are uber expensive and not really available in the US. Guess I’ll just have to make one huh? But not now. First I have to make the original Scandi-style meitai I’ve been planning so I know what I’m doing when I make this E2E knockoff.

Presenting… The Schedule ™

As I’ve mentioned in a few previous entries, Mommy Misadventures will now be following a posting schedule. Be forewarned, I tried to making up cute, day related names but failed miserably so just nod and say yes.

Menu Monday
I’ll write about what I’m planning for our meals for the week with any relevant tips on grocery shopping. This will also be linked to Organization Junkie’s Menu Plan Monday.

Tutorial Tuesdays
Links to various craft tutorials from all over the web. I’m a beginning crafter so you won’t be seeing me make any of my own just yet

Delishiono Wednesdays
First, I tried to think of a better name and all I could think of was “Wok Wednesdays” which was so bad that I just couldn’t bring myself to keep it. Inspired from my now-defunct Delisihono food blog, these will mostly be recipes, geared towards either make-ahead and may be followed in future weeks by leftovers made from previous meals.

Thoughtful Thursdays
I’ll take a topic — which may or may not be related to parenting and/or  home management — and expound on it.

Photography Fridays
Link sharing about photography and may also include photos of my own and my experience taking them

So that’s it! There’s the schedule. I tried to include topics that I think are interesting and may be of value to others. Hopefully folks will find these topics interesting! And I’ll always post up my own random thoughts about parenting, life, etc. Like I said in other entries, this will always be a personal blog.
