Diaper Garden Gallery: Strawberries

June 2003

Fuzbaby Diaper Garden: May Flowers and Trees, May 2003 The garden is alive with bright, sunny flowers and abundant greens. Have you noticed the festival season has started among agricultural towns? Strawberry are often the first fruits for the first festivals. They will be followed in other areas and climates by peaches, apples, oranges, and other fruits. Where we are, in New York, ripened strawberries mark midsummer for the Iroquois. What is ripe where you are?

Setting. We took the strawberries to the wild organic garden of a friend. The strawberry pots are ours, dragged and transported from our backyard.

June 2003 Strawberry wool diaper cover #1, it is crazy to sew individual wool strawberry seeds all over a diaper cover. #2, it is far too crazy to sew seeds on dozens and dozens of diaper covers. #3, I liked it. I just like fine, detailed work. I wrapped myself up in a big chair under a bright lamp and listened to movie after movie for about two weeks. You must see a close up of strawberry seeds.
June 2003 Firefly Diapers Strawberries & Cream Quick Dry Diaper We had planned to have only the cover for June because I chose such a time-intensive cover design. People really wanted a diaper, though, so I had the contractors for our sister company Firefly Diapers make a strawberry red diaper with fluffy organic cotton sherpa inside.
June 2003 Wool Berry Book I used to make "Quiet Books" as a child, and I've made a few wool books for my own children, so I decided a simple book might be a nice something extra. Original. Count to four with 1 Strawberry, 2 Raspberries, 3 Cherries, and 4 Blueberries. OK, cherries aren't berries and they grow on trees, but they are red and ripe and beautiful fruit. Is your mouth watering? See the rest of the wool berry book in detail.
