As mentioned earlier, I'm in the process of switching blogs.
Getting rid of some of the clutter in hopes of staying more organized.
The new blog can be found over at http://gotyoume.tumblr.com.
There's not much there yet, but some important information such as my shops Terms and Conditions, have been updated over there.
Getting back to work.
Cheers!
みんなさん、こんいちわ。わたしわ ゆみです。どうぞよろしく。

Just a few things..
I'm in the middle of switching my blog over to another site where it will be a bit easier for me to make posts. As such, order status will not be updated on this page. Please check your etsy to see if your order has been shipped. For those who I have contacted, your orders will be going out as planned within the next couple of days. There are only a few of you left who I have to ship out orders to, so thank you all for your patience as I make my way through each order. I really appreciate it.
On another note, please note that when ordering from me (for new and repeat customers), no refunds mean NO REFUNDS. I can't say this enough. It's stated in my shop, as well as in the shop announcement. It is also stated that I've been backlogged (therefore there is a delay). By purchasing from my shop, you are agreeing to these terms. Sure, it may be easy for you to say you want a refund due to the amount of time it is taking me to complete your order, but please try to look at it from my perspective. There's only so much I can do in a day, and whatever is left over from that day, is carried onto the next.
There have been A LOT of things that I've had to make recently (photos coming soon), which all take up a great majority of my time. For the people who know me personally, and for the people who have ordered wholesale from me, they can all vouch for me that I spend a great majority of my day working on everything, and sometimes even when I want to get things out earlier, my hands are so fatigued from the amount of work that I've already been doing, that they can't work any faster. I literally have permanent scars on my index and ring finger now (on my right hand) from the yarn, from trying to get out orders fast enough.
That being said, if your order hasn't been marked "shipped" as of yet on etsy, it doesn't mean I haven't been working on them. It's easy to ask for a refund (although I will reply to your answer with a simple, "no" for reasons mentioned earlier), but take into consideration that I've already spent time working on your order for you. That time could have been spent working on other people's orders (who have been just as patient as you, if not MORE), and that time could have been spent doing other important things like studying, or working a real job...
I will no longer tolerate the excuse "you can give what you were making me to someone else"... A) It's not guaranteed that someone else ordered the same item as you; B) I've already spent a lot of my time working on this (these) for you, which took time away from someone else's order, as well as a great majority of my time (my hands cry and I become irritated if I see messages similar to that).
I know I can't please everyone, but I still try to do my best with what I can, and with the time I have. I too, have to eat, and sleep. And I can tell you now, the past few weeks, I haven't done much of either. During the last few weeks I've been up around 6am or 7am in the morning, working on orders until 3am the following day. If you tell me I'm not working fast enough, or that the wait time is unacceptable... may I point you in the direction to my shop announcement where it says I've been backlogged. And if you're a previous customer, you should know this already.
On another note: "birthdays" are not an excuse to request a refund.
The only customer's I'll believe who need their order as a birthday gift, are those who have contacted me when they've made their purchase. To tell me you needed your order as a birthday present, after becoming impatient with your order is unacceptable. For the most part, people do contact me either before placing their order, or they leave me a message upon checkout, but there are some people, who do not leave me any such message, and to those people, I cannot read your mind. So a message is greatly appreciated.
I know I too, can be sending you all messages to let you know the status of your order, and I'm trying my best to do that (at least to confirm when your order has gone out, or to let you know that I'm still working on your order), but because I already spend so much of my time working on orders to begin with, normally once I've finished (for the day), and once I no longer have the energy to stay awake, I just pass out in my bed from exhaustion, to get what little sleep I can before starting again the following day -- hence the lack of updates that you've been seeing on this blog lately. (Again, those who know me personally, as well as my friends in Korea and Australia, can vouch for me on this one, especially since I'm awake during "normal hours" in both timezones! -- that's a 13-15hr time difference!).
Lastly, on some occasions, I'm nice enough to send orders out via express-post because I know how important orders are when they are needed by a certain deadline. Although I cannot do this all the time (since I don't always have the money to do so, and since express mail is expensive depending on where you live in the world), I have sent out orders via express mail on some occasions. I work hard on each and every order (and I take photos of everything before they go out). If I could, I'd be making some of these toys for myself to keep, but I never have time to do that for myself since I'm always busy with the current orders that I have.
Also, I currently don't actively promote my shop because I'm still catching up with orders. Once I'm fully caught up with my individual orders (I think there are only 8 left to work on (but some of those orders are for more than one item)), I'll be working on the second batch of my wholesale order, as well as an additional order for Hootsuite.
With all that said, I'm really sorry if I sound bitter, and I understand not everyone will agree with what I have to say, and that's perfectly fine. But I felt like it needed to be said, so I took some time out of my day to write this. After I have lunch, I'll be getting back to work. Thanks to DST, I've lost an hour of work haha T_______T but I'll catch up somehow.
Again, I'll be contacting those of you who are still waiting for your order to confirm that it has been shipped. Thank you to those of you who are patient and who continue to be patient. I know that it might seem like I'm neglecting your orders since you've been waiting a long time, but I've been working hard on them to get them out to you, and to make sure that you'll love what you receive. I always put in a ton of effort to make sure everything is of great quality, and since you've waited for a long time, I want to make sure what I send out meets those standards.
Sorry about this long winded entry... it's been a while.
Lastly, it's my birthday next Saturday (YAY ME) but I'm pretty sure I'll be working on orders during that day too...
Who says I'm not working hard? hah! T___T

Quick Note:
Due to the wholesale order that I need to ship out tomorrow (was suppose to be today but I'm still finishing it off), the individual orders that I was planning on shipping out this week, will be going out next week instead. Sorry for the delay. Lots to ship out next week!
I will not be updating my Etsy shop until the rest of my orders are finished. I need to catch up on so many things. Sorry for the delay but thank you again for your patience. I appreciate it... very very much!
..Back to work.

It's been a while~
Good morning folks!
Sorry for the lack of updates. I know it's been a while since I last updated this page.
Orders have been shipping out. The ones that I've mentioned in my previous post have gone out already.
The second list of orders have also been shipped (although a few days late from their original shipping date as posted on my Etsy page, since I wasn't able to get out to the post office until later that week), but you should be receiving those soon!
In other news, my goal for this week is to finish up one order per day and have those shipped out by Sunday. We'll see how that goes. I've still got to get more work done for my wholesale order as well, along with one of my other larger individual orders that I'd love to get out by the end of this week as well *crossing my fingers that I'll be able to do so*.
Last Friday was a super productive day for me. I meet up with a good friend of mine and we had a "work" day together. He was working hard on his art pieces, and I managed to get through quite a bit of Etsy orders that day as well (when I can get through 4 orders in a day, I consider that a pretty productive day!).
I'll try to update this space more frequently, although I haven't been that successful at doing that recently! But I'll try to keep things updated on here at least every week!
Again, order status is updated on Etsy first, followed by an update on here. Thanks for being so patient with your orders. Hopefully by the end of this month I'll be fully caught up on EVERYTHING! ^_______^
Cheers*

UPDATED!
Okay, finally, time to update! So I just finished with exams which means that I have more time to work on orders. I've already contacted some of you already to let you know your orders will be shipping out this week (since I've been really busy over the holidays and studying for finals).
Now that I have more free time on my hands, I should be able to finish the remaining orders by the end of next week. Therefore, this week and next week, you can expect that a great majority of orders will be shipping out! So terribly sorry for the wait time on some of your orders, but I'll be working hard to get them all out this week and next week. I have about 10 or so orders left to work on. Order status has (finally) been updated on here, but I always update on Etsy first.
I hope you've all had a great weekend! My week has been pretty hectic due to studying for exams but I'm happy that's over with. Staying up from 5am until 2am studying everyday was completely exhausting! But I think it went well. I finally caught up on some needed rest and plan on using the rest of the day to work!
Happy new year everyone.
I'll have a list up on here again later to let you know which orders I'm planning on shipping out next.
For the people who I did contact through etsy, your orders will be going out this week for sure.

The Owlys have been spotted, and Happy New Year!
Happy New Year (well almost) to everyone! It's been a pretty crazy year, and yeah, I'm still catching up! But thank you to everyone who have been super supportive and patient! I can't tell you enough how much I really appreciate it. I've been working hard on getting orders finished. There are still quite a bit that I need to ship out, and I apologize for the delay T____T I'm heading out to the post office to ship some out today, and more will go out next week. I've got a final coming up which I have yet to study for (my exam is on January 8 for those of you who are curious, which is REALLY SOON! So I really need to study for that. BUT after that exam, I'll have a lot more free time to work on these orders (while I job search haha).
ANYWAYS, some more exciting news!
I woke up to an awesome tweet, which was posted by Hootsuite. Photos of the owls that I had made for them is now posted on their blog!
Some of these photos you've probably seen before if you had read my previous blogpost over here. But there are some additional photos of the owlys traveling around the world, along with other Hootsuite fanart made by many other people! So definitely check it out~!
Again, I haven't updated the order status on this blog yet (I will on the weekend however). But the packages that I have shipped out have been marked shipped on Etsy already, so do check there. There are still a lot that I need to get out, but the holidays have been super busy, and I've been dealing with a bunch of weird allergies this week. First on my hands, and now around my eyes. It's SUPER annoying T_____T! Anyways, I need to finish off a couple of owls and a dog so that I can ship them out today.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! I'll try my best to get all of these orders out to you really quickly!

Merry Christmas!
I just wanted to quickly wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I hope you're all having a great day today! Is anyone going out on boxing day??? haha! I still have a ton of work left to do T___T so I'll do my best to get out more orders out to you within the next week! I had an awesome opportunity to meet two of my Toronto customers the other day, which was really great! It was a bit of a hectic day that day, since the night before, the unthinkable happened... I had run out of yarn! I had stayed up all night to finish as much as I could, and then headed out early in the morning to quickly buy the extra yarn that I needed to finish an order for a giant and small mushroom bear! I ended up showing up to our meeting location late (since I was trying to finish making 3 bears that day), but thankfully both people were still there. It was really great meeting them and being able to give them the stuff they had bought ^___^. Afterwards I headed back out to do some last minute christmas shopping for my family~! I had no sleep that day, but happily passed out on my bed after coming home and eating dinner~
I hope that everyone will have a wonderful christmas and enjoy the rest of their holiday! I'll be working on orders (like usual starting again this afternoon) as well as studying for my finals. Yes, while most people had theirs before the holidays, mine happens to be in January =___=. Good news is, I'm going in with a really good mark! HAHA, lets hope I give myself enough time to study so that I can do just as well on the exam!
Orders that I've shipped have already been marked on Etsy. I have not updated order status on this blog yet, as things have been extremely hectic around here since it is the holidays, but I'll update that as soon as I can.
Within the next week I'll post up more orders that will be shipping out (in a list format like in my previous post). There are a couple from the list in my previous post that I still have to ship out. Sorry for the delay, but again, thank you all so much for your patience! I greatly appreciate it, and I wish all of you a wonderful holiday!
Rest up, and enjoy your time with your loved ones~!
And again, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Photos!
For those of you who want to see what I've been up to, and why I've been so busy~
This post is picture heavy.
+--- Note important information from previous post --+
Again, if you see your Etsy username in the following list, it means that I have either already shipped out your order this week, or I am planning on shipping it out really soon...
- doodlebugart
- CindyBraniff
- blancamonrosgomez
- chupala
- cpelliccioni
- bananeanne
- JasonJaySharma
- neraEcri
+------------------------------------------------------+
Don't see your name? It means I will be trying to ship your order out to you next week. Therefore you will receive it after christmas. Really sorry about that. I will have another list up later. I still haven't slept yet T_____T and I'm suppose to head out with my family later today, so when I get home I'll need to continue working on orders (assuming I don't pass out). When do I even have time to sleep today? I honestly don't know haha =____=;;
OMG I just realized I've been awake for 24 hours! ...
.
.
.
Anyways, here are photos of what I've been making! If you're wondering why it takes me so long to get out your order.... this is why! It's because there are a lot of you, and some of you order more than one thing from me. PLUS I had my wholesale order to do. AH! I need sleep haha. Enjoy the photos. I'll try to update again later~ Anyways... proof that I've been busy making everything.

Busy Schedule.
Good morning folks! Just a quick note (since I have not slept yet), but the following orders will be shipping out this week (at least I'm trying my best to get these ones out this week):
- doodlebugart
- CindyBraniff
- blancamonrosgomez
- chupala
- cpelliccioni
- bananeanne
- JasonJaySharma
- neraEcri
If you do not see your Etsy username here, it means that I will be shipping out your order out next week (hopefully!) These are shipping out (roughly) in the order that each order was placed. So if you do not see your username listed, please check back again next week.
I really wanted to get all of these out before Christmas, but it's super difficult (this year) considering the amount of orders that I have, as well as how long each one takes me to make (my mom already complains that I do not sleep, even though I did get my 8 hours of sleep in yesterday.... not yet today however). It didn't help that I had very little time last week to work on these considering I was in the court house the entire week for jury selection, as well as a final paper to write for school.
This whole week I'm dedicating a great majority of my time to finishing up these orders as quickly as possible which means, no sleep for me! lol. But anyways, the people I've done wholesale orders with are complete angels. I've been busy finishing up one of my wholesale orders heading for Australia, so I'll have photos up later (along with the other photos that I keep promising to put up... they'll all be up later). The other person that I do wholesale with has given me a bit more time to work on her order as well, since she knows how much work I still have to do for my individual Etsy orders, and I honestly can't thank her enough.
Thank you to everyone again for your patience! You have no idea how much I appreciate it. To my most recent orders, most likely you will be receiving yours in January, but if it is possible for me to ship it out before then, I definitely will.
Cheers!

If you do not see your Etsy username here, it means that I will be shipping out your order out next week (hopefully!) These are shipping out (roughly) in the order that each order was placed. So if you do not see your username listed, please check back again next week.
I really wanted to get all of these out before Christmas, but it's super difficult (this year) considering the amount of orders that I have, as well as how long each one takes me to make (my mom already complains that I do not sleep, even though I did get my 8 hours of sleep in yesterday.... not yet today however). It didn't help that I had very little time last week to work on these considering I was in the court house the entire week for jury selection, as well as a final paper to write for school.
This whole week I'm dedicating a great majority of my time to finishing up these orders as quickly as possible which means, no sleep for me! lol.

P.S.
for my Toronto folks (kgigi and tensing) I'm hoping to have your orders ready by early next week, so I will contact you both soon about a meeting location.Thank you to everyone again for your patience!

Jury Selection
Just a really quick update.
Order updates will be slow this week on my blog because I've been summoned for jury selection here in Toronto. It is something we must attend. I originally thought it would be for just one day, but found out today that it's for the entire week. If selected to be on the jury, it means that I'll be in the courthouse for more than a week, and depending on how long the trial goes, it could be even longer.
Because of this, it's going to be a bit hard for me to get as many orders out this week as I would like to. Today I was there from 8:30am - 4:30pm, and for the rest of the week, I've got to be there from 9:30am - 4:30pm. I've also got a final paper to write which is due this weekend, and wholesale orders that I MUST ship out this week.
That being said, I still have individual orders to catch up on. I know I say this time and time again, but I really do appreciate how patient you've all been, and I'm really sorry for any inconvenience the delay in receiving your orders have caused. Please do know that I'm doing as much as I can to get these out as soon as possible to all of you.
I really want to be able to get all of them out before christmas, but some of you may receive yours after that date, due to the large volume of orders that I have received.
Unlike last year, when I didn't have school, and didn't have as many orders to work on, this year, the response on my characters have been quite overwhelming. I'm really happy that you've all liked them enough to purchase them, and so I'm working as hard as I can to get these out to you, even if it means little sleep.
I do ship out multiple orders each week, so if you haven't received yours yet, please expect that it will go out soon. I've been trying to ship everything out in the order that I've received the orders in, accommodating different deadlines when I can. There's only so much I can do in a day, and now because of jury selection and the possibility of jury duty, I'm having to re-arrange my schedule this week in order to finish all the work that I need to get done.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do send me a message on etsy. If you send me an email, please send it to oddlycuteyoomii@gmail.com, as it's hard for me to check my hotmail address (since it doesn't always work). If you haven't heard from me first, and you're concerned about your order, please don't hesitate to contact me, but please also know that I do not read minds... there's a lot on my plate, and so if I am contacting you first, it would be to let you know that I've finally shipped out your order after the long wait.
Again, I greatly appreciate how patient everyone has been. My short update has turned into a bit of a lengthy one.
I'm going to have some dinner (since I missed breakfast, and they didn't give us enough time off for lunch for me to find something decent to eat.... I only had yogurt for lunch today).. and after dinner I'll continue on orders until about midnight.
Have a great night, and again, please contact me on etsy if you have any questions.
Thank you~
(p.s. more photos WILL be posted soon.. .they're all on my camera still....but I've been so busy with making stuff and studying, that I haven't had time to upload and edit pictures.
p.p.s to those of you who had contacted me recently, and I said your order would ship out last week, I'm still working on those, as I had to finish up wholesale orders and that took longer than expected. I'll try to get those out to you this week. sorry T___T)

Hootsuite Plush Owls: Behind the Scenes
So, I've finally finished my Hootsuite order!
It feels so good to have finally finished, although it has taken a lot longer than it should have (but that was because of all the other orders that I also had to work on at the exact same time... my fingers are definitely crying right now~). Anyways, I wanted to quickly share the photos that I've taken during this whole process. I've posted a few of them before, but I guess I'll repost those ones as well, for the purpose of this blog entry. This post will be a quick one, as I still have a bunch of other orders that I need to work on (which I'm trying to get out before Christmas), so for the most part this post will be pic heavy. My desk feels a whole lot emptier without those owls around. I kind of miss them already~!
Here's hoping for their safe flight to Vancouver! Can't wait to see photos of them once they're in Hootsuite's HQ hehe~
+--- In The Making ---+
+--- Finished Owls ---+
+--- Extra Photos ---+
*red hat borrowed from one of my other owls~
Getting 20 owls to fit in the box was quite challenging. I thought it would be impossible...hahaha, I don't think the little owls were looking forward to this part either~
^ The Medium Box (it was a bit small, but the Large box CanadaPost offers would be too large)
^ All 20 owls waiting to go in
^ The first 10 have gone inside
^ Now there's 12 inside
^ Make that 14
^ The last 6 have made their way inside. No more space! They're all so squished >_<
At this point I'm wondering whether or not I'll be able to close this box properly
Horray! They fit! And yes, I drew doodles on the box for fun~
Side note:
Sorry about the poor editing job on the photos... I rushed through them (while eating dinner) since there was a lot. I might go back to re-edit them later if time permits, but I still have many other orders to catch up on, including two more wholesale orders. Must.. get.. everything out.. before christmas!!!
