Yards and yards, and yards and yards

  • May 16, 2008

It’s been one crazy week! Lots of running around and activities with the kids and sewing all the spare minutes I have. I’m a gal who likes a routine, so this has been a good experience for me to practice rolling with the punches. Probably not the best time to start weaning my son hard core, huh? He’s doing better than I thought he would and I’m hoping that after 5 days of just nursing first thing in the am and right before bed has him over the hump. I’d like to get him sleeping through the night, then I’ll cut another nursing session out, then we’ll stop altogether. It’s a bittersweet process, but the lack of sleep is really wearing on me and I’m more than ready to have my body back. It’s time, for us both.

I’m looking forward to the arrival of almost 400 yards of fabric. I’ve really missed the loop terry and am excited about the fleece and interlock that’s coming soon. I’m also developing some fun collaborations and dyed sets for the summer, it should be lots of fun!

When it Pours, it POURS

Well, I know I told everyone about my hard drive crashing and me losing EVERYTHING. It unfortunately didn’t stop there. We recently got over a week long bought of the stomach virus that’s been going around and the entire family had it. Then, Magnus cut my hand open when I was taking a piece of broken glass from his hand. Thank goodness he wasn’t hurt. And to top it all off, one of our dogs ate almost two pounds of chocolate covered raisins and we were worried she might not make it.

The good news is that we seem to be on the mend, whew! I’m almost done with a big round of custom orders and will be open for more soon. And, I’m anxiously awaiting a big shipment of super soft loop terry and fleece. I can’t wait to get my hands on it. I’m thinking of stocking a 6-pack and 12-pack every other week so people know when they can get them. I’ll probably stock natural dipes in every size and serge color every week in one of my fabrics and rotate a new fabric in each week. That way everyone will have some options of fabrics as well.

I’m also working on an email newsletter, I’m just deciding which program to use. It will be much easier to fill everyone in on the stocking stuff that way.

Oh! And I’m getting ready to stock some gift sets that will be so much fun, woo-hoo!
