Update!

It's been too long since I posted, so I figured I would write a quick update!

I'm about to be going into my very last semester of college! Very exciting and very scary at the same time!

Starting 2012, Maine residents will have to pay the 5% Maine state tax, whether paid online, cash or check. I'm going to be working on getting a tax ID number, so I will have to report this information. Out of state residents do not have to pay sales tax.

I haven't had much need for policy information as my order volume is generally pretty low and I've never had a disgruntled customer *knock on wood* but in the coming weeks, I plan to write up official policies (most of which I follow, and discuss as situations arise, but I need to state them up front) on custom ordering, shipping, returns, and many more topics! If there's something you think I should cover, please let me know because I know I will forget something I want to write about.

I'm hoping this semester to get some items in stores! There's a few small businesses I would like to talk to and I think would be willing but I feel I should have a consignment contract ready, and I haven't gotten around to figuring out how to write one yet...

This semester I think I miiiight have a little more free time and I am hoping to SEW! I have my own sewing machine and my own serger which I haven't even gotten to take out of the box yet (sorry, honey! I will use it, I promise...). I have many ideas... I have fabric specifically set aside for some tough and sturdy tote bags, baby quilts, pillows, possibly stuffed animals, fleece hats, and much more!

I have been very busy and haven't been able to update the store in a long time (I think since summer... >.<), but I'm going to try to do that! At least for ready to ship items, because it's much easier to keep track of orders if they're all in one place and not every which place!

And, as always, if you have an idea for something you think I can make, let me know! I have many many projects on my project list, but I love new ones :)
