· We've finally got our vests up on the site! These were prompted by a gift from a friend in Japan where there is no central heating (I cannot imagine! Brrrrrrr) and babies and children wear lovely thick vests indoors to keep warm. We've managed to recreate this frigid environment by moving into a(nother!) century home. Cold and expensive to heat (but oh so charming!) I started fooling around with different vest configurations and came up with this one. (link)

· We've switched to using only 100% organic wool. I am over the moon about this stuff! It's so soft and stretchy. Takes dye like a dream and wears very well. Want to make wool things yourself? You can buy it at www.vtorganics.com

· We are working towards offering a simpler, more affordable line of diapers, using the same organic fabrics. When will this happen? Who knows! But it's definitely buzzing around in my brain. Tentative name : 'plain bee'
This is something that I've been thinking of from the start of el bee baby. The first diapers that I used with my son, the ones that inspired me to go into the business, were flat, shaped terry diapers. So affordable, so adjustable for fit. Took no time to dry. I've changed my ideals slightly but we're working on this!
