Current Orders

Hey everyone! It's been such a busy week. Catching up on orders, homework, and writing my assignment for school. I feel so overwhelmed and drained. I spent my week working on orders and doing readings for school. I spent my saturday researching and writing up my assignment, submitting it at 5am, and falling asleep around 7am.

It's now sunday, and current and past orders are being worked on right now. I will probably not be online as much as before during this week because I will be extremely busy catching up on everyones orders so that I can ship them out. I also need to grab more supplies because I'm running out! T_____T

If you had messaged me on etsy last week regarding the whereabouts of your order, I most likely have replied back to your message already to let you know that I would be shipping them out this week. And I'm going to do my best to do so. There's really a lot to catch up on. I still need to ship out one of my wholesale orders as well. Actually 2. But they're almost finished.

For any new orders that do come in (although it is unlikely for the time being), I would really appreciate it if you let me know in advance whether you will be needing your order by a certain date. It's really hard to accommodate an order in a really short amount of time, when I have a lot of other customers who have been extremely patient with their orders, and I really do not want to make them wait any longer.

I know what it's like to wait and wait and wait for an order to arrive, and I know it can feel frustrating, and leave you wondering "is she really working on them? did she forget?"

I really am working on them. And no I did not forget. ^__^

As always, you can reach me via Etsy convo. If you are going to send me a message regarding your order, please do so through Etsy Conversation rather than Email. I don't check my hotmail as often because it gives me a lot of problems. So it's much more convenient for me to check my Etsy page to see if there are any messages.

For this week, there are some bunnies that need to be shipped off... as well as some bears and monkeys. If these sound familiar to you, they might be your orders.

I haven't had time to update the order status section of this website this week, but I will try to do so tomorrow, or when I get most of the orders out that I planned on getting out this week.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
It's time to get back to work. Time taken to write this is time taken away from making!

Hope you are all having a good sunday.

Quick update.

I'm going to do my best to ship out additional orders next week. Since I have an assignment for school that is due by the end of the week, this week is going to be really busy for me, and so I will not have as much time as I need to finish orders to ship out this week. That being said, after I finish my assignment, I'll do my best to get everything out as soon as I can. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding, as I try to find a balance between my studies and my etsy shop. Sorry for the delay and inconvenience that this may cause some of you, but I am trying my best, and I really need to do well on my assignment.

Quick update + General Info about Christmas Orders

Just a really quick update everyone. I'm sick. Been resting a lot today (I think I've pretty much slept this entire day). Super drowsy. Anyways the photo above shows a fraction of the stuff that I had been working on over the week. I'll try to ship out more orders asap, since I know you've all been patiently waiting. Thanks again for being super awesome.

Quick reminder:
If you plan on ordering something for Christmas, please place your orders in early. With the amount of orders that I currently have left to complete, it will be very hard to fulfil christmas orders if they are received in December. So please try to place your orders in ahead of time (meaning during October and early November) so that I have time to work on them, since as most of you all know already, everything in my shop is currently made-to-order.

Thanks again!

Another busy day

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today will be another busy day of studying and working on orders. I've actually made a list of everything that I have left to make, and posted it on my desk so that I can keep track of everything, and eventually cross things off the list once they are completed. Seeing the list itself really made me realize just how much work I have left to complete. I literally have around 100 things that I need to finish up in terms of orders (and that includes individual and wholesale orders combined), as well as one more chapter to read for class before being caught up (since I do not want to fall behind in that). I'm hoping that having a physical list right in front of me will help me to visualize the amount of work that I need to accomplish, so that I don't lose track of things. It also helps me determine the amount of time that I'll need to spend working on orders versus studying versus having a social life.

On a side note, I was able to see some of my friends over the weekend whom I haven't seen in the longest time. It was really great getting a chance to catch up with them while we had lunch. I hope I'll have more time later on to see them all again. But first things first...it's time to get back to work.

Here are some more behind the scenes photos of some of the orders that I had been working on. Additional photos will be posted up later.








Again, if you feel that I'm taking long with your order, or if you just want an update about its status, please don't hesitate to contact me. But please do understand that I do have a lot of orders that I have to work on, and your patience is greatly appreciated. Each one does take time to make, and so if you think that I've been taking too long with your order, please understand that there are other people as well who are patiently waiting for theirs too, and that I'm doing my best to work on them all at the same time so that I can get them all out to you.

NOTE: Because of the amount of orders that I have gotten (and I'm really thankful for all of them), please note that I'm not sure if I will take in any special requests for christmas orders this year. Last year I received many orders right before christmas, and although I am not flying off to another country this year for the holidays, I don't know if I will be able to handle a high amount of last minute orders. Please take into consideration that I'm currently backlogged by about a month, and while I am trying my best to get everything out in a timely manner (as humanly possible), creation and shipment of your order may get delayed.

Thanks again so much for your continued support and for being so patient with me as I work hard to complete everything. For now, I will leave you with this photo that I took during my recent mini-photowalk to Centre Island. It's one of my favourites out of the batch that I had photographed that day~!

Quick Progress Report

So, all of these owls that I'm making for Hootsuite all have their wings and are awaiting their faces to be sewn on. I hope to have that completed by the end of this week and have them shipped out promptly after. Photos of course will be posted up to show their progress.

I've also got some new owls started up (different colour scheme), which I hope to have finished soon, so please look forward to seeing them in the shop soon.


Aside from still working on individual orders to get them all shipped out, as well as some new wholesale orders that I've been working on, I cannot take in any more custom orders. I've still got a ton of work to catch up on, and with the addition of school into my already busy schedule, I'm finding myself quite, well, busy. Overwhelmed might seem like a more appropriate way to describe things.

Although I am still happy to take orders for anything listed in my etsy shop, as far as custom orders are concerned, I'm afraid that I cannot take in any more requests for the time being. By custom orders, I'm referring to the ones which I would have to design and make from scratch, and I really do not have the time to work on any additional ones at the moment.

Once my schedule has cleared up a bit, I will happily accept any new custom order requests that people may send in.

Thank you for your continued patience. I'm hoping to have more stuff shipped out this week, including a pair of wedding cake toppers! More photos to come, so stay tuned.
