OMgosh, you would hate living with my stash

I have colors Rainbow Brite would die for.
hmmm, i have days where i long for a uniform stash (and on those days your myriad of wool covers would bug me) then there are other days where i just want all cute prints. i've tried a uniform stah, but always end up branching out.
i have 4 baskets on a shelf above the changing table. the big one holds 8 prefold fitteds in one row and 8 assorted dipes (usually a mixture of homemade and cloud 9 softies) in a second row. the second one holds 8 elbee fitteds. the third basket holds 8 assorted mock AIOs (for easy changes) usually pre-stuffed disposanots and bumkins wraps with a trifold hemp soaker. The 4th basket holds as many covers as i can jam into it.

the extras go in a drawer under the changing pad. only the very top of the diapers peek up above the basket so it looks neat even if everything in it isn't uniform. i may have to revamp the system if she moves to larges as i'm not sure how they'd fit in the baskets, but it's worked well with nb, small and medium sizes.

Ok, I wanna see a pic of this Martha Stewart stash

I am kind of like that too -- I seem to find a diaper I like and want to have the entire stash of just that. Right now its SOS and Wonderoos (though I do have different colors). I have them all stacked in neat piles in the changing table. I used to be that way with Sugar Peas but I have gotten over my obsession with them.

How's this for weird - I ordered 18 medium FBs a little while ago, in a mix of primary and pastel colors, and the minute I placed the order I regretted not getting all white. I mean isn't part of the fun of CDing that you can get colors, prints, etc. But I want white? I think it's all about wanting things to be orderly and uniform. I hope I love my colors when they get here though, I'm sure I will once I can coordinate with her outfit.

And I just bought two great AIO prints, so my baskets of diapering supplies are gonna get wild and crazy!
I have to have all of my diapers piled in neat stacks, with the prettiest ones at the front. And I MUST coordinate liners, diapers and covers!
Most of my dipes are white (with colour on the trim), except for my AIOs. I just like how the white dipes look. Kinda boring, but also very cute and retro.
I freak out at DH when he just grabs a dipe willy-nilly and disturbs my neat piles. Now he which diaper he's allowed to use, first!

I wish I had time and money to be so neat! When I do have the time to make my stash pretty, I have 3 or 4 stacks. I'm bad to buy 2 or 3 of everything

trying to find that perfect diaper! I have 1 big stack of FBs and cuddlebuns. Then I have 2 Fuzbaby Gardens and 1 Firefly, 3 Knickernappies, and a few homemade

All my wool covers are usually hanging up or lying around the house somewhere

If I had the money and bidding ability, I'd only have Fuzbaby Gardens and my BaaBaaBottoms!
Summie, can you come have issues at my house?

I completely understand the OCD. I count ALL THE FRICKIN' TIME in my head. Everything is about numbers, and everything has to match up. I get uncomfortable when I hit a number that isn't divisable by 3, 4, 5, or 10. Like something bad might happen. Prime numbers are ok, since they're special.

After too many close calls while DRIVING and counting road dashes or telephone wires, I finally had to force my mind to not care so much. I still count all the time, and I still get uncomfortable when things don't add up, I just now have the power to decide if I should care.
Now, since the likelihood of you almost dying over your cd arrangement is pretty low, I'm sure you don't need to force your OCD over them out of your mind. :LOL Soooo, since FireFlies come in so many pretty colors, I'm sure you can find some to match your nursery! If not, they do come in natural - the serge color is different among sizes, though, so make sure you know what color they are trimmed in.

Hmmm :LOL I must be the oddball! I love vibrant colors and prints - I would be so bored with all natural colors! I do keep my dipes very organized in baskets and have each brand together (FCBs on one side, Muttaqins on another, and a basket for randoms) and my wool is stacked neatly by covers and soakers, but the colors make me happy.

I don't like having too many diaper brands, so I've managed to get it down to my faves. I have over 48 fitteds (2 in diapers

) so all one color would drive me nuts! :LOL
