Cool New Big Stockings!

Okay so Halloween was kind of crazy.  I think it really hit me how nuts it was while half-listening to TLC  and wondering when baby reality shows and insomnia infomercials had gotten so popular, then realizing they hadn't, but the only other people up with me night after night at 3 a.m. were new parents and insomniacs.  Those of you who went to college and worked full time, you know that feeling right after finals?  Sort of the mental equivalent of running a marathon.  That's where we are right now. =)

So a big thank you to all of our customers, we learned SO much over the past couple of months and are really excited to get started on new things.  For right now we're kind of focusing on mini stockings, something we're pretty comfortable with, and are hoping to get most of our new product out by this weekend.

Last night I finished our very first BIG stockings.  I'm so stoked on how they came out. For right now we're doing these as custom requests.  I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle them, since I can only get pretty much 1 stocking per design, it's going to be a little tricky.  In the meantime, if you're interested, just send me a convo at the etsy shop with the color you're looking for and I'll send you pics of available fabrics.



Thrifty Thursday tip:  This ones a little different, but pretty useful for just about anyone, even if you're not into crafting.  Get a Staples rewards number and return your empty ink cartridges.  They give you $3 for each cartridge, up to $9 a month, and more if you start a business account.  It really adds up if you go through ink like we do.=)
