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)
