It's Closing Time

Thought I would take a moment to keep everyone that is interested up to date.  As most of you know I did reopen to new orders.  With that, came a slam of new orders.  I didn't realize how many I had until a couple of days ago.  The day after I opened is when I began experiencing bouts of terrible migraines again (this is a daily thing, not a weekly, or a couple of days a week, this is severe, can't do ANYTHING migraines, that don't just go away, they simply either weaken or strengthen.  I've learned to work through the mild ones but these severe ones, I can't possibly work with.)  I was also diagnosed with Anemia, which means that explains my extreme fatigue.  When I shut down, this means, my housework also comes to a halt.  My husband tries, but let's face it, he's a man, and men just don't do the cleaning necessary for a family household.  My children miss me when I'm in my funk.  SO when I'm out of the funk I have to be sure to spend quality time with them.  They are soooo desperate to spend time with me that they fight over who gets to rub my feet with lotion when I am having a severe migraine!!!  (So I give them my arms to do too!)   

That being said.  My much anticipated quick turnaround time has disappeared :(  I can't help it.  It's completely out of my control.  If you can't wait or don't like waiting, please send me a pleasant email requesting a refund, I'll be happy to comply.  I promise I work as often and as quickly as I can.  That's all I can offer you.

I do have a goal (very reasonable goal) to have every order OUT by June 1.  Then I will be out of state for the entire month of June (and the beginning of July!!).  A MUCH needed vacation and opportunity to visit with family and friends.  I will be working, a little.  As much of my family and friends do still work  and/or go to school.  But it will be limited.  I think it will just be ready to ship.  I'll probably do a handful of camera pals, then a bunch of basic beanies with fun accessories.  (to start with) I'll probably do a few fun designs that I've been dying to try out! I won't do photo props during that time, as those take up space, and when traveling with 3 young children, I need all the space I can spare.  

As many of you also know, my paypal account was hacked.  I did receive my refund.  SO all packages that are ready to ship will ship either later this afternoon or early tomorrow morning.  Reminder, I do have a note that dictates where your order is on my list.  If your name is not on the list, please do not be nasty with me.  I try to stay as organized as possible, but some orders do fall through the cracks (which is why I prefer etsy... I can stay organized with those purchases).  Simply email me and let me know kindly.  Don't assume I know who you are, b/c I receive sooo many emails a day, I can't possibly keep them all straight, I try, but I can't.

Thank you all for being oh so kind and patient with me.  Please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers, as my medical condition is actually still not fully diagnosed.  There are lots of unanswered questions.  I love providing you with affordable knits, so I won't stop until I absolutely have to... but the shop will be closed to custom orders until further notice.  Thank you again!!
