No more custom slots for the month of April

I am so sorry everyone. Due to the illness that has been flying though my house, I have gotten SO behind. I must get my backlog caught up. It is not fair to anyone for people to be waiting weeks and weeks for their custom.

So I instead of letting my backlog get longer, I am going to get caught up and work on the store stocking for the 30th.

I am planning a fun way to score custom slots for the month of May in honor of my birthday.

thank you so much for your understanding.

Been Very Sick

Wanted to let you all know that I have had a rough case of the flu. I am doing a little better now, just feel like I was run over by a truck.

So those of you that are up soon on my custom list, I apologize for the delay. Hopefully it wont take me long to get caught back up.

shipped out!

Turkish Delight and Asian MT are headed home!

some in process pictures

Since I am a little behind because of the holidays and the sickness that followed, I thought I would post a picture of some of the appliques I have been working on. Enjoy!

Baby is finally feeling better.

so after days of the kiddo being sick (and the holiday weekend), I am getting back into the swing of things.

I am currently working on:

Eva conversion
Turkish Delight conversion
and Asian Mei Tai

Sick Baby Equals No Sewing

Not one thing got done yesterday. My baby was sick. Not horribly sick, but the kind of sick where she was achy and lethargic, and would SCREAM unless she was laying right on top of me. Needless to say, we spent the day just sitting and watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 4 on DVD.

She is doing much better today, so I hope to get some work done!

CUSTOM SLOTS!

ok, I will be posting 2 custom slots a week. The day/time will NOT change.

The day/time will be:

Tuesdays at 1pm CST
Thursdays at 9pm CST

If there are any changes to this schedule I will let you know. These custom slots will be for EITHER a Mei Tai OR wrap conversion. It will be for whatever you want.

I will ask though, please have your wrap ready and your fabric choices picked out before purchase. Having a delay in materials makes it very difficult for me to get orders out in a timely manner, and I get back logged.

I am also on schedule for another store stocking at the end of the month.

Please note new Applique pricing

Hello all! I wanted to give you guys an update that I have to increase the prices on my appliques. I am getting more and more requests for intricate and difficult appliques. I do not mind doing them, but I need to price accordingly. I am going to base my prices on hours of work. I don't think a lot of people realize the time those appliques take. For example, the much loved "Tree of Life" applique takes me 8 hours to do. I hope everyone understands why I have to do it. Let me know if you have a budget you need to meet, and I can help get you the correct applique to hit your budget!

Thanks again so much everyone!

slowed down production

Hey everyone....

if you are waiting on a custom order from me, I wanted to let you know that my production will be down a little. I had to take my sewing machine in to be serviced. It wasnt working correctly. I have a back up machine, but it doesnt have all the fancy features. Therefore it takes me a little longer to get things done.

Thanks for being so understanding!

THANK YOU!

to everyone that made my Store Stocking on Monday a complete success!!!!!!!!!!

Sad News...

My production has been slowed this week. We just had to put our beloved dog, Daphni, down today.

She was much loved, and this came as a shock and a suprise.

Daphni, you are much loved, and will be missed.....
