The NEW WOOly Owl - COmforting upcycled Owls with Oganic flax seed and lavender

wOOly Owls 

Filled with love, wool, organic flax seed and soothing herbs

These one-of-kind wOOly Owls were made especially for your little owlets:

Each wOOly Owl carries on his back a sachet of organic flax seed and herbs which can be put into the microwave or freezer to cool or calm your restless baby. Becoming a little pillow that one can rest their little head upon or something to be clutched in the night, wOOly owls take on a personality of their own.

From their filling to their eyes, every part of your wOOly owl is made with natural fibres that one can eventually lay to rest in the compost ~ Back to which it came.

Aunt whOO? Reusable Menstral Pads

Throughout a woman’s lifetime, it’s believed that she will use an average of 16,800 pads or tampons. Tampons and pads can be cheap, but what if you could eliminate having to purchase them each month?  You’ll be saving so much money over your lifetime, and also eliminating thousands of tampons and pads from making their way into our landfills

Aunt whOO? reusable pads aremade from flannel, and are nice for women that prefer pads to tampons.  Cloth menstrual pads are used like a regular disposable pad, and are much more comfortable.  A large benefit of cloth menstrual pads over disposable pads is the fact that you are not exposing your feminine parts to toxins by direct contact.  Disposable pads are made of chemically treated wood pulp!  Yikes!!

Random Acts - Farmer's Market Season Opening (May 18th)

          "The expression "pay it forward" is used to describe the concept of asking that a good turn be repaid by having it done to others instead." 

The idea that by "passing it on" to three people, they in turn will "pass it on" to three more people and on and on and on......

 

 The idea that one good act of kindness in turn reciprocates further acts as a consequence is an inspiring way to begin a season of natural goodness at the Gravenhurst Farmers' Market starting this May 18th in the Muskoka Wharf Events Field. 

I thought it would be best  to take this idea and transfer it into one that will assist an unknowing mother in need in the town of Gravenhurst.  Individuals can submit a name of a deserving mother  who will be chosen to receive a  wOOly Owl Care Package which  includes a wOOly sOaker, Reusable Organic Nursing Pads and even a calming, herb-filled wOOly Owl. 

 Please take the time now to think about this particular Momma-in-need of some natural loven (of a wOOly kind:) and bring her name to my tent. 

And do your part....pay it forward.

How to Wash or Lanolize wOOly Diaper Covers and wOOly Diaper Wraps

Lanolin is the natural waterproofing on sheep's wool. This natural lanolin is what makes the wool "waterproof". Wool absorbs about 30% of it's weight without feeling wet, which means "overspill" gets absorbed by the wool and, ta da! No leaks. Just let the wool air dry between uses, and you can go for weeks between washings. Wool doesn't get smelly like synthetics do. The lanolin on the wool cover gets used up by the urine as the cover air dries, so after a while you will need to restore lanolin to the cover to maintain the cover's effectiveness. Getting lanolin back onto the wool is call Lanolizing.

To wash a wool cover without lanolizing, follow the same instructions but omit the lanolin.

1. If there is poop on the cover, use some olive oil bar soap (Kiss My Face makes some) and gently wash it out prior to lanolizing. If you don't have olive oil bar soap, Ivory bar soap will work fine. Do not use Woolite or other commercial wool detergents on diaper covers. (Try to use only unscented natural or organic soaps to ensure the most natural washing for your covers.)
2. Melt 1/4 inch of Lansinoh Lanolin in hot water. Add 1/2 cap-ful of Eucalan Woolwash to the hot water. Mix to break up and mix in the Lanolin. Fill sink. The water should be room temperature. Not ice cold, and not too hot. 
3. For wOOly diaper wraps, affix the Velcro washing safe tabs to ensure the integrity of the Velcro through washing
4. Place wool cover in sink and gently push cover under the water. 
5. Let it soak for about 15 minutes, flip over and turn inside out (if wOOly soaker) to ensure all surfaces are coated with lanolin.
6. After soaking, gently squeeze excess water out, then roll it between two towels to get even more moisture out. 
7. Let it dry COMPLETELY for about 24 hours.

 For the first time lanolizer, you can order the wOOly Wash - love and care for the first time lanolizer for only $3.00 with your next purchase of wooly diaper wraps and soakers
