Oh glorious day!

As I have said before my current obsession is baby carriers. I have owned a Mei Tai for quite awhile but just recently realized its usefulness. It has made my life so much easier (and Sofie more content) to be able to carry her hands free while I chase after Lily, so much so that my poor double stroller has been living on my porch for the last few months. In opening up the marvelous world of "baby wearing" I have realized that there is a great deal beyond just my marvelous Mei Tai (and if you yourself would like to discover the MT love, I highly recommend www.babyhawk.com . Their mei tai's are wonderfully supportive and their design center is addicting, soooo many gorgeous fabrics! I may actually "need" ;0) another one of these as well). While I would love to have an endless budget for baby things, it just isn't in the cards, so I have been carefully weighing the benefits of other sorts of carriers to figure out what I should try next. I have been stuck between a ring sling and a woven wrap carrier for awhile! Let me back track slightly, the wrap is more supportive overall to the baby and the person carrying the baby but it also have a higher learning curve and is more complicated to tie for quick errands, the ring slings seem to be generally less expensive and I like how easy up/down, on/off they are for in and out of the car, between stores, etc. Today I happened upon instructions for a no-sew ring sling, melding two obsessions into one! Which pretty much means I could buy the wrap I have my eye on (the fabulous earthy rainbow, doesn't it just make ya happy looking at it?) and use it as a wrap or a ring sling as I so desire! Squee!! If you would also like this marvelous knowledge to use to your multitasking advantage...all you need is a wrap (or piece of fabric that you like), rings (I suggest www.slingrings.com as they are made specifically to be weight bearing) and these instructions.
