Here is a pic of my little diva.

Another one down!! The WC order is complete and awaiting pick up.

I am moving ahead to the GH order as it is paid and sorted out. I hope to have this done by the end of the weekend. The accessories will be complete tomorrow along with all of the dyeing. Over the wknd the dipes will be completed. Well, that is my grand plan at any rate, we will see what curve balls life tries to thow ;)

I also have a few items to make for Hidden Elements grand opening (July 7th)

I stocked at dotCA today. Have a look http://www.hyenacart.dotca/ Several $HC, and FFS offerings to enter.

I will be taking a good part of next week off as I will have company and they will be staying in my sewing room (after I move about 40 bolts of fabric off the bed LOL).

Back Online

What did we ever do prior to our computers? I hardly remember but I was certainly lost without mine the past couple of days!! I am getting all caught up on orders and emails and then back at sewing!

A big shout out to Dean of Central Computer and Design who got me back up and running and even worked on it on a day off!! While I hope I will never again need his services, I am sure I will and I will return! Great service and prices!

Ahhhhhh...celebrate with me!! The MI order of 40 dipes is done!! YIPEEE!!!

This order was the largest I had to date and it was daunting...it seemed to take forever to do a single step....combined with waiting for fabrics and a trip to Vancouver for a week for medical stuff I was getting antsy.........but the satisfaction of seeing all of those dipes complete is SWWEEEEEETTT!

I had a hug in the mail today from my friend Selina (ya you who follows LOL) and I celebrated my order completion with a cup of Healing Pixie Chai that she sent me...YUMMMMMM! Thank you Selina...you made my day!!

Tomorrow I am taking a day off from sewing...sorry but my house REALLY needs it and if I do not take care of it, the job of cleaning it will become more than daunting!

I have at least two sets of company showing up in the next couple of weeks ( all parents of ours) and my mom will be using my place as a base of sorts until her new house a few doors down is renno'd. We are also doing some pretty extensive rennos this summer so I need everything in order to be able to cope with all of the impending chaos!

Thursday is back to sewing and it is my hope to have the next order done by the end of the weekend (20 dipes and accessories). I need to get as much cleared out as possible before company arrives as the sewing room is my guest room. My dh is still working on renno'ing the basement for me to move the sewing downstairs and let me tell ya, I cannot wait!

When I get to the slot for Ben, I will be working on my fitted pattern. I have several YUMMY fabrics on their way to me, some more knits, and cotton velour. That reminds me, I need to photo all of those and get them up on my fabric galleries!!

Ohh...also some purple and camo oogas are on the books and some of it will be on poly and laminated!

So, that is the update for now. Wish me luck cleaning....if you do not hear from me in a couple days please send the search party out!

Home Sweet Home!

Ahh...home...what a wonderful place to be!!

Ben's appointments went very well and we do not return to Children's for his eyes for two years when he will likely have some surgery.

A week away from the business was tough! I am back at it tonight, after spending the day at hospital for medical stuff for me, catching up on emails and some web based work and am also planning a late night/early morning to get some more cutting and sewing done.

All of the small orders were cleared up prior to my leaving. Now onto the large orders of small dipes. Sewing in 60 soakers tonight.

AT received her fabric today.

Continuing working on fabrics Galleries on main site. Need oldest son to bring the camera home so I can photograph the remianing fabrics (dyed bamboo and solid flannels). Canada Post web site is not my friend! I have been trying for two weeks to finalize the shipping module but it seems to always have an error or be down for maintenance when I have time to get to it. I will call them tomorrow...they work on EST and I am on PST...go figure!

I was invited into a new congo! Hidden Element will open on July 7th. I look forward to working and getting to know another group of artisans. I will post links closer to the grand opening!

Making Progress!

Well a couple of orders are out of the way now!

MG and ZD complete and delivered! CB to be shipped Monday.

MI cutting and remaining fabric arrived.

Did you know for each diaper there are five pieces of fabric as well as five pieces of velcro in each unit? There are many steps to each diaper and thread changes as well which make these a time consuming item to produce. All fabrics need to be cut, the soaker layer sewn in, the labels (2) affixed, the velcro pieces all affixed, layers stacked, pinned, sewn, trimmed and clipped, elastic sewn in, turned and top stiched....ah done a diaper!

Glorious weekend, wish I was getting outside some. Finishing up some other little projects in the sewing room and packing over the next couple of days for the flights.

Well it has certainly been eventful of late! I ended up having a few down days with the business as I had my folks show up again just days after my mom went back home.

It was a very busy visit as they ended up purchasing a home a few doors down from me. WOW was ALOT ever squeezed into three days LOL....they will be back up in Aug to renno their new home.

So the list looks much the same I am afraid....well with the exception of having more added to it that is!

MG~ in progress (20 dipes)
ZD ~ in progress (5 dipes + acc)
MI ~ cutting and awaiting fabric (40 dipes)
WC ~ in wings (20 dipes + acc)
CB ~ awaiting fabric (wb)
AT ~ awaiting fabric (fabric)
JA ~ working details
GH ~ working details

I was also called by Children's on Friday and have to fly down with Ben next Wed. I am going to try to get the MG and ZD order and any quickies I can out of the way prior to leaving. I will be gone just shy a week as it stands unless they decide to do surgery on him on that trip.

So, as you can see, I have LOTS of sewing to get on! The weather is glorious and I planted my deck barrels finally today. Have still not gotten to the yard work however! Also need to do more on the website....all in time, just when to get it ;)
