Before that, however, I want to let you all know what I have been contemplating the past few weeks. I am about 50% through the process of becoming a substitute teacher. My Certification is pending the receipt of my transcript, which I mailed almost 2 weeks ago. They should have that information entered any day, I am sure they have gotten it by now. After that, I have to turn in my certification and my application and hopefully I will be called in to interview.
Right now, I have set November 19th as the last day I will be taking orders for Pink Punk Boutique for 2011. This will give me enough time to make sure that everything is delivered by Christmas time. My advice is this, if you are planning a Christmas order so it soon. Especially if it's a big one. If I do get hired as a substitute, I will most likely be closing my shop for good and sooner than 11/19/11. My goal is to try to work 3-4 days a week and that's going to leave me very little time to sew. I am going to re-open my Etsy store and I will stock it with pre-made items, but I will no longer be taking custom orders. I will still take some custom work from local friends and repeat customers, but that will be all. I think that I am going to look closer into craft shows for next year too. Since I won't be doing custom orders it will give me time to work on pre-made stuff throughout the year. I am not definite on that, but it's something I am considering. I am also considering working on the Pink Punk Patterns angle. I wanted to do that this year and just never had the time, so since I won't be doing custom work I can make my patterns available to those who do want to do them.
So, if you have an order you want to make sure and get in before the shop closes you need to do it right away!
Here is some of what I have finished and mailed out recently.
A couple of Insulated Lunch Bags
A couple of Hanna Diaper Bags
An Angela Purse
Some Coupon Clutches
I got my hair cut on Saturday, but I am not quite happy with it...I need a little tiny bit of work done on the top and then I will take some new pictures! I think that it's weird having it so short again. It's not been this short in probably 3 years. It's close to this right now but it's still a little longer on the top so this is the look I am going for...
Pictures coming soon!
