My “inflatable people” mannequin hasn’t yet arrived (hopefully today), so the good-ole fence pics will have to do for now.

Also… some fabric coasters:

Yarn bangles!

And Pin Cushions

These Pin Cushions are able to be tied closed into a “book” type thing, where you can put your sewing needles and even slide in things like a seam-ripper to keep it all together and neat.  Having the top for pins.

Or you can flatten it out when you need more surface area for your pins.

and they come with a selection of decorative pins

New stuff up!

Posted in Updates at 11:27 pm by obsidian

I swear, photographing and putting stock online takes longer than making it does (4 hours!)  But anyway….  lots of new stuff up tonight.  Some of it is newly made, some of it is from me going through the boxes of stock I have and making sure it’s all actually online (a lot of it wasn’t).

So…. we have…..(this is just some of it)

Pantyliners

Pads

And older stuff I found and added to my Online store:

Sneak Peek

Posted in Updates at 12:30 pm by obsidian

I’ll be adding new stock once it’s finished :) I’m aiming for tonight. I’ll be finishing off the last of the Cultures theme, as we have a new theme for next month… so I’ll be restocking with Gorgeous Geisha liners, Australian Aboriginal print liners, some Hawaiian Girl pads & liners, and a few more Tribal Maori design pads….

I spent last night sewing in the overlocker ends on this stack of pads! Took a while ….but I got to watch a taped episode of Torchwood and Jet Li’s “Hero” movie (plus the special features) while I did it.. so that was alright :D

Now I just have to snap them all and photograph them.  Though it’s blowing a gale outside today, so I’m a bit worried if I take them outside, they might end up blowing halfway across Australia… (so if any pads mysteriously land in your backyard, that’s probably why hahaha)

If I get time…  *cough* … I might even get these out….

This is a stack of pocket pads I’ve had sitting around since about this time last year!  They have just been waiting for me to get around to making the inserts to go inside them….. and….. well, they are still waiting.  Though I did make 6 inserts the other day, until I ran out of washed bamboo and had to go onto making something else while  waited for more to wash and dry.  I’m considering listing the empty cases and the inserts separately, so that I can get them listed and make the inserts as I go (just keep adding inserts to the inventory as I have more made).  Anyway…. back to the sewing room I go :)

Order Delays

Posted in Updates at 3:21 pm by obsidian

For some reason I keep going in to check orders and find there are ones there that weren’t last time I looked, so they have been sitting there a while. I don’t know what the problem is, but it’s been happening for a couple of weeks…. my apologies to anyone whose order has taken a while to get to them!

Also…. I’ll be doing another stocking of “Culture” themed pads next week! so stay tuned!!!!

I thought I’d brag LOL I still get a kick out of sending an order off to an exotic country (and “exotic” is anything other than Australia and America LOL)

Austria
Germany
Sweden
Norway
Scotland
Ireland
England
India
Indonesia
Canada

Can’t think of any others…

Who would have thought the cloth pad business was so cut-throat!

Posted in general at 8:31 pm by obsidian

I don’t normally like to get into bitchy slagging off about other businesses – mostly because I don’t generally have any reason to, but also because I don’t think it is an appropriate way for someone to conduct themselves… but in this instance I felt something needed to be said.
