Order Statuses..


Wooo! that sale was so crazy.. I don't think I will be doing another one for a little while.. (just kidding perhaps at the end of the year but I will definitely prepare first my making everything or at least half the items ahead of time!)

If you have noticed Hyena cart has not been restocked and Etsy, only has a couple of items.. I have not had time to re-list and also I'm trying to space out orders so I can finish these and work on Halloween as well as next stocking which will again be postponed until Tuesday. Sorry again I did not expect to be so overwhelmed and my priority is always to get your orders out as fast as I possibly can well, next to my mommy duties of course.. :)

Soo... I figured I would out up a quick reference to let you know where your orders stand and an Estimated Time of Arrival for them.  Hopefully you all  noticed the "please allow 7-10 business days for delivery" on the Etsy welcome page during the sale.

The majority of you have received yours, I have been shipping every day so today some of you have mail.. tomorrow, Saturday etc.. will get mail as well..  People with  one cover got theirs shipped the earliest as it is easier to fulfill those orders and I can get the most done that way.

So anyway..  here's the list.

And that's what I got so far.... Tuesday will be stocking day and those samples will of course ship the very next day if not the same day.  :)  and after I should be all caught up.

I might take a couple of days off second week of September which will delay orders placed around that time (I will let you know)  because I need to prep the house for a midwife visit yaay! .

Thank you all so much for your support and patience! If you have any questions or concerns email me at rockabyebootyfluff@gmail.com.

100th sale on Etsy Celebration!



YAAAY! We did it! 100 sales on Etsy!!   Thank you so much for your support!  I want to celebrate by doing a giveaway with my Etsy Customers (don't worry Hyena cart customers you will get a chance soon!) your entries will be each purchase you have made if you bought 3 things in one purchase that's 3 entries.. if you are a return customers those entries count too!  The Prize?

2 covers of your choice from the next stocking!  (August 23rd) Brand new fresh out of the oven.. err.. sewing room lol.. completely free! <3  That's how much I love you guys :D


Also to celebrate I will be having a 24 hour sale! ALL covers on Etsy will be reduced to $10  there will only be 1 of each cover so once it's sold it's gone.. until the sale is over and it goes back up to regular price.  Shipping will be $2.00 and only 0.50 cents  for each additional cover so if you order 4 your shipping will only be 3.50 as opposed to 5.00 .

The Sale will be happening The Friday following the day we reach our 100th sale.. (we need 2 more to go for it to happen this Friday!)  at 5pm PST.

October.



As some of you know I'm nearing the end of my Pregnancy,  I have about 8 weeks to go  I will be working hard during those 8 weeks but I will be taking a break during the month of October.  I will not be completely closed though  The big change will be that for the month there will be no "made to order" covers available.  I will be stocking  10 new covers that month.   5 at the begining of the month and 5 at the end of the month (I am due somewhere in the middle.).    and I will be opening a couple of "open slots" each week for customs or for anything I usually offer at the store.


Here is the Calendar so far of what will be happening (subject to change)

August . 23rd    *New Sample Stocking
September 13th  *Halloween Stocking
September 27th  *New Sample Stocking
October 3rd   *new Sample Stocking  (5)
November 1st *New Sample Stocking (5)

Friday October 7th - November 1st  Hyena Cart  and Etsy "made to order" will be closed.  "Open Slot" weeks to be determined.

November 1st  Hyena Cart and Etsy "made to order" will open again and I  will be starting  Christmas Stockings yaaay! and  custom orders (think of those cute pictures!) as well. 

 Hopefully this all goes smoothly and allows me time to bond with baby and get used to being a mommy of 3 :)  

Thank you so much for all your continued support!!

Lots of Love!

One Woman Shop!


Hi everyone!   Wanted to let you know on the happenings here at  Rock-a-bye Booty central.. A.K.A  my living room  tee hee..

First I wanted to thank you all for the HUGE support and encouragement I have received from you, your orders, pictures, feedback, questions, reviews, suggestions have motivated me and are making this journey super fun.. you all are giving me some work! :)

I think my prices are pretty  low compared to other similar covers when you take into account a lot of them are sized meaning you  have to get small, medium, large.  I also ship very fast with the max wait time for the U.S being 1 week from time or purchase.  All of this takes a lot of work..  (don't worry this isn't a whinny poor me post to the contrary I am blessed to have gotten such awesome response)  But Just wanted to paint a picture out there..

I am a mom of a 5 yr old, a 16 month old and in the third trimester, I also take care of a 4 yr old during the day.  (my daytime kid as I call him)
I have all of my mommy duties plus chores plus the business..
in this business I am the seamstress, the accountant, the marketing agent, the secretary, the mailer, the packager, the designer, the manager, the advertiser, the messenger etc..  all me! lol..

I wake up sewing and I go to bed sewing..

but wait you said this wasn't a poor me post.. what gives?

Yeah no worries I am definitely not complaining.. I just wanted to paint  a picture of why I may sometimes, unexpectedly get a delay, or sometimes I forget to reply to emails.. or sometimes I can't do a custom right away, or sometimes I e-mail you offering to send something extra if you can wait for me to complete and order an extra couple of days. 

So please don't be shy and if I have forgotten about an email.. please feel free to kick by booty and say "hey! what gives! I need an answer woman!" lol... chances are your email somehow slipped through the cracks and I am super sorry...  If you need something super fast contact me before purchasing and I can definitely tell you "YES you can get it in 3 days" or I can tell you .. "you know what at this time it's not possible"

I also will now be making a list of customs and will let you know what order you are in (I have about 6 of them pending 1 of them for a dear friend whose been kindly waiting for about 2 months now lol) .. I can only do so many a week I don't ask for payment in advance on customs but if you have your hearts set on something and you want it super fast, if we set up payment beforehand I will absolutely then do everything rain or shine to get your order to you out that same week.  I love customs I just admit I need to get more organized on them so that I can fulfill your every fluffy dreams! <3

I will be working on hopefully getting an assistant soon to help me be more organized

Thank you all soooo sooo much I wouldn't be here without all of your kind support you make what I do fun!  sure it's overwhelming at times but it's fun nonetheless!

I hope that didn't sound too whinny? I have seem some sellers do the "poor me" card before and I definitely do not want to do that.

P.S  I'll tell you a secret.. sort of.. I am near my 100th sale on Etsy.. and when that happens something awesome will happen..  1 of them involves a giveaway where the entries are each item you have purchased on Etsy. and the other involves the other part of the secret.. but we'll find out soon enough tee hee!  (and Hyena cart friends no worries same will happen when I reach that milestone on hyena cart)

Lots of Love!!
