Order status updates.

I've updated the order status section, so you can view when your order will be shipped. I had to push back some of the dates by one or two days because I seem to keep running out of time each day to complete all of the ones that I had planned on completing. I really hate how time seems to fly by so quickly and before you know it, it's a brand new day.

At night I'm usually trying to keep myself awake in order to finish as much as I can. In the day, I still try to keep myself awake in order to get as much as I can finished, but I usually end up passing out around the afternoon, and waking up around dinner time. Because I'm shifting in and out of regular sleeping and waking hours, I think it's definitely taking a tole on my health. I'm finding lately that I've become a lot more tired than usual during the day when I am awake, and at night during certain hours I feel very unfocused because of fatigue.

I'm not trying to make any excuses for myself, as I'm already pushing myself as much as I can to complete these orders on time. But I do promise that they will get out to you. I'm super, super sorry for the delay and any inconvenience this might have caused you. Please know that I'm working extremely hard on finishing these as fast as I can.

My goal is to have all of my orders completed by the end of this week. Most of your orders will be shipped out between Monday and Wednesday of this week (so between Feb. 8 - 10).

If you have any questions or concerns about your order please do send me an email or a convo message through Etsy and I will respond to your question asap (usually right away).

Thank you all again for being so patient. I really appreciate it.

NEW* Order Status Updates.

Lots of late nights working on orders (many nights where I go without or with very little sleep). Trying my best to finish them all as fast as I can. Thank you so much for your patience as I finish all of these one by one. Similar items will be made at the same time and shipped out at the same time as well. Again thanks for being patient with your orders as I try to work through the backlog of orders that I had over the christmas holidays when I was away. Please do know that I'm working day and night and every time in between whenever I can to get these out to you all asap~~ Thanks again for being so patient, I really appreciate it :)

Thanks everyone for being SO patient with your orders. I really really appreciate it! Please don't forget to let me know when your order arrives by leaving me feedback on Etsy (if you ordered your toys through my Etsy Shop), or just send me an email (if you did not order through Etsy). Hope you will all have a lovely weekend. I took many photos of the orders that I shipped out today (before I shipped them out of course). I will post them up here shortly (after I finish eating my lunch :D).

Side note--to the people who try to order from my shop without paying:
Under certain circumstances I can understand why someone might not pay for their order right away. Maybe you are new and need time to set up your PayPal account in order to transfer funds and purchase your item. But sometimes I come across a few people who order from my shop, and deliberately do not pay for their items. I can understand if you forgot. But if I email you back right after you have placed your order and still have not received any payment from your OR any REPLY from you to let me know that you need more time to pay (or that you really just don't plan on paying)... I'd appreciate it if you would LET ME KNOW. It's not that hard to reply back to a simple email is it? I don't like chasing these people down to try to get a reply back... I don't think that I should have to, and I don't like doing it either because then I feel like I'm coming across in a bad way. I'm not trying to be negative, but all I'm asking for is a simple reply -- 'sorry I forgot' or 'I will need a bit more time' or 'I've changed my mind and would like to cancel' -- it takes 2 minutes to reply back to my email. Yet when I see that you have not yet paid and I send you that email as a reminder, I don't get a reply back.

From now on what I'm going to do is this:
- I'll still send out the email if I notice that I have not received your payment yet. So I'll send it out as a reminder.
- If I do not hear back from you within 3 days, I'm going to cancel your order (so that I do not get charged the extra fees that incur when a transaction takes place

Lesson: Immediate payment is greatly appreciated! BUT if you need more time that is understandable, just PLEASE do let me know. Thank you!

Awaiting payment from:
✿ acciohecka - Order received on December 3, 2009 for 1 Kai Owl - PAYMENT NOT YET RECEIVED - email reminders have been sent... no reply yet. -- order has been canceled***
✿ simplefreak - Order received on December 5, 2009 for 1 marching polar bear - PAYMENT NOT YET RECEIVED payment received :) - email reminders have been sent... no reply yet.

Featured in Jenny's Holiday Picks.

A big shoutout goes to Jenny N. of JennyNDesign over on Etsy for featuring my winter mushroom bear, among other Christmas inspired goodies from numerous Etsy shops. I love her picks of Joy since Christmas has such a big joyful and fun-filled theme. I'm definitely looking forward to spending Christmas and New Years this year in another country and numerous cities (Seoul, Daegu, Busan, and back to Seoul). I'm sure that my friends and I will have a lot of fun getting to spend the holidays with each other :) Thanks again Jenny! Definitely stop by her shop and her blog for more goodies! She makes the most fantastic bags. I already own a pouch from her (which looks like her Travelers) and definitely want one of her shoulder bags!

A little bit of change.

I'm up early again. My current sleeping habits have adjusted to a different time zone (such as that in Korea lol), even though I am still in Toronto -- meaning I'm awake when I should be sleeping, and sleeping when I should be awake, haha. I guess I am more productive during the night time/early morning.

Tuesday was an extremely productive day for me. Usually I am only able to complete 1 order in 1 day. Sometimes it might take longer. But on Tuesday, I was able to finish 3 different orders (4 toys in total: 1 owl, 1 marching polar bear, and 2 custom small momo bears). I'm also half way finished the mushroom bears. I'm really proud of myself for being able to catch up on these orders fairly quickly after being held back a bit while finishing up and shipping out my wholesale orders 2 weeks ago.

I hope that this level of productivity will continue today, although I can already feel fatigue setting in. But it's okay because I am having fun with these orders and I find that they are turning out better and better and I'm getting faster at making each one. I really love the way that I currently make my owls and question myself as to why I hadn't thought of doing it that way a lot sooner. I think the finished result looks a whole lot better compared to my original. I really should post some photos of how my owl has evolved from the very first version of Kai, to his current version. I think I will definitely stick with his current version because it makes him look a lot cuter but he doesn't lose one bit of his character :). I am also really tempted to do a line of mushroom bears. I really love their size -- I love how they sit comfortably in my hand, and how they can sit on their own. I hope I'll have time.

Order status will be updated again very soon. Most orders will ship out tomorrow (Thursday December 3, 2009) or on Friday (December 4, 2009) -- in order to minimize the number of trips to the post office.

My most recent orders will also ship out very soon as I'm sure I'll have a chance to finish them this week :D So please do check back as I'm continually updating the status of each order as I make further progress with them.

Once these are finished I'll finally get a chance to work on my special order for Alex! I'm really excited to work on it and I hope it'll turn out great!

Photos to come soon :)

Oh yeah! And I changed the look of the blog. I'm still in the middle of making changes, but I thought that more colour would do me well lol.

Reminder:
The last day to place your order is November 30, 2009 if you want it to arrive on time for Christmas. Reason being that I will be in South Korea from December 17, 2009 until January 1, 2010. So most likely, any orders placed after November 30, 2009 will arrive to its destination after January 1st, 2010 (unless I have enough time before hand to make it and ship it out before I leave for South Korea :) Thanks for your understanding :D
*Nov 30, 2009 is also the last day to use my instore discount. Please note that the 10% discount is only applied if the discount code is present in the message to seller box upon checkout. I cannot issue a discount unless that is present :)

*Sorry for the delay. I had been working on finishing/shipping out a very important wholesale order. So I'm a little behind in individual orders. Please do know that I'm working as hard and fast as I can to get these out to you asap. I will keep you all updated =)

Some random (but important) notes:
- My felting needle that I use to needle felt the eyes of my pandas and owls broke :( So I've ordered a new set and they should arrive in the mail next week (I'm hoping).

Updates.

Sorry for my absence as I have been extremely busy working on everyone's orders and trying to get them out there on time. I will be shipping out a bunch of orders on saturday so most of you should receive them soon. As for those who have ordered from me recently, I will be updating the status of your order here on my blog :)

Also did you notice that I've changed my shop banner? ^^
What do you think? Do you like it? I was trying to go for a christmas/winter theme haha :)

I hope everyone is doing well ^^

More updates will come after I come back home since I have class tonight :) Hope you are all having a lovely day ^^

My dad said he saw a really cute furry teddybear hamster in the pet shop yesterday... I'm still debating if I should go and check it out tomorrow (since I'm still grieving over my little Kazu), but he said the ones he saw were very adorable so we'll see :) Maybe if I get a new one, it'll help me get over my sadness ... hmmm (but maybe it's still too early... )

Cute Treasuries and updates.

On October 24 and 26, 2009 my pandas and my owls were featured in two very super adorable Etsy Treasuries!
Have a look! I'm so thankful to both ShyPanda and fantasTshirts for taking the time to feature my panda stationary, and my knitted amigurumi owl in their own treasuries :)





I've been super busy this week/last week with finishing up some orders. Here are some photos of the owls that I have most recently finished and shipped off to their new homes :)
