Getting the new year off to a great start!

Well, we haven't just started a new year, but a new decade. In this new year, I plan to debut some new products, as well as open an Etsy store. I will be stocking in my store on HC this Friday, and plan to start stocking on the Etsy store soon. I'm going to be expanding the items that I do in military fabric. In the works right now is a woodland maripat bag/purse, and an ACU Mai Tei.

I've been tweaking my waterproof doll pattern, and will be selling those soon as well. Valentine's Day is also very near, so I'm going to be listing some items to get ready for that as well.

I have about 4.5 months left here in Leavenworth, and then we will be on the move again, and I will open up my waiting list for those that want to order, so that I can get started on your orders as soon as we are finished moving, and done with whatever vacation we take.

Wrapping up customs and getting ready for vacation.

Summer is creeping up (or at least when you have a busy May ahead of you) and I will be wrapping up custom orders next month and getting ready to move and go on vacation. Sound like a lot to do? Sure is. I will be taking the last of my custom orders this coming week, and then will only be doing crocheted custom orders for the rest of May and majority of June. At the end of July I plan on opening back up custom orders for sewing (crocheted custom orders will be avaiable off an on through June and July). We (my husband, two sons and I) will be moving to Ft. Leavenworth, and Crafts by Christina will be relocating there for the 10.5 months that my husband is at ILE. In the meantime, I will still be stocking at Creative Mamas, probably just not as much as usual. When I open back up, I will be working on a few new items that I am currently doing testers for (Mai Tei, and wrap in military fabric themes). So check back frequently to see what new items I will have available, and in the meantime, get ready for the GCDH!

Military Custom Orders

I will be able to take military themed custom orders until 30 May. After that, I will be taking a small break, and will be doing one order every two weeks roughly. On June 16th I will be starting on a much deserved vacation with my husband. It will be the first real vacation we've had together since before the deployment in the fall of 2007. We plan to settle down in our new home middle/end of July. Once we get settled, I will open military customs back up again.

In the meantime, I can do crocheted orders, as those only require yarn and hook, not sewing machine, cutting table, fabric, pins, and patterns. If you would like to place an order, I often have a custom spot stocked at my store Crafts by Christina on www.hyenacart.com/creativemamas. I also have a WAHM listing on www.clothdiapernation.com as well as www.diaperswappers.com, but am more likely to respond quickly on my HC or CDN.
