Customs update

I've been a busy little beaver this weekend, and managed to finish up MonicaJoy's trainers, as well as EvaliesMom's Trainers. I am about to start the trainers for LaRees Creations, and Klamb, but I am waiting on an order of Fold Over Elastic. It should be arriving no later than the end of this next week, and since my weekends are when I do the most work, it should be just in time.

An Update;

We are finally starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. I have 2 knitting customs in progress, one of which is nearly done, for MamaElle, her faded denim cotton longies, and the other, for Emz, her zebra longies.

Direct your attention to the side bar for where I stand on Prefold Trainers and Diaper Repair/Upgrade.

Hiatus

I've been avoiding blogging for awhile, plus I was insanely trying to finish Christmas knitting (now that I can see a light at the end of the tunnel) and now I've turned my mind towards Spring. For at least the next month, I will be on sewing hiatus while I finish the knitting projects, including customs, that I have halfway started. In order:

MonicaJoy, cotton longies from the CDN auction. ALMOST done, I have like 2 inches of the second leg, and then the ruffle at the bottom.

MamaElle, well, I bought the yarn, I printed her pattern measurements, but I haven't cast on yet.

MayasMommie, 2 pair of longies in ooga colorways. Yarn is dyed, the trim is purchased, the needles are here, just waiting for me to finish christmas knitting;

Emz, Zebra longies, WAITING for the yarn to arrive, probably will arrive after Christmas.

Also, now have a pattern for knit trainer shells (think of them as woolen underwear) with side snaps in case of an accident, and a snap in soaker. Look for these soon.

Sale!

So I've just finished marking down prices over at my etsy store for a sale we are having. Sale and prices won't last long, so hurry on over there for discounted pricing.

I've also got some new products in the works. Currently we have the wool in one trainers stocked, 1 in boy style, 1 in girl style, I also have some flannel pocket fitteds, including a 3 pack set for $24. That's $8 a piece. You can't get stuffable One Size Fits Most fitteds that cheap. Also just stocked, this adorable set of a flannel pocket fitted and matching PUL cover.

Customs vs instock

I've done a lot of prayerful soul searching and realized that I HATE taking so long to complete customs. With the new job, I just can't get things done the way I used to, and I certainly can't quit the outside the home job at this point. So, I will be closing the customs list for the time being. I have 4 customs I have received which I will be getting down and out, but after that, I will be taking a break from customs and moving onto instock only. I have a number of ideas I would like to work on and get listed, including the wool-in-one trainers, and I would like to list some stock prefold trainers....

I have a lot of things I would LOVE to finish that I can't because I am stressed out over customs. So the customs I have currently in progress are Diorama Mama (she has 1 more trainer to finish); sknowlto with 6 medium trainers with no PUL or anything fancy; anjcolijn 8 with PUL outers; and 2 for Emily-Joe's Mom on CDN.

After that, instock ONLY. And I will do my best to get them done if not this week, then next week

Productive?

So I finished the order for TXMama on Etsy. These are already postage paid and ready to be dropped off. She should have them by Friday, in plenty of time to prewash them for her vacation.

Also in progress is the box for dioramamama. I have 1 cover with snaps on it, and 1 of 4 prefolds converted to underpants.

I know it's been awhile since I posted or even stocked my store. I want to apologize. I'm sorry. I've started a new job, about a 35 minute drive from my house in good traffic, so I haven't had all the time in the world to stock my store. I am trying, however, to at least make good on everything I have promised people.
