Broken Internets and Fish
♥ Comments (11) ♥
Ok just a few things.
1. Wednesday I went intot he basement at 8am to package up some orders only to find several inches of water in our basement. It was flooded. All day and most of the evening was spent ripping up old carpeting, carrying sopping carpeting up and out, recycling some soggy cardboard boxes, and moving stuff. Our basement has never flooded, it was due to a water seal breaking near the meter and spigot. fun fun. not.
2. Yarncon was a success. It was fun and a nice event put on by two girls. Their hard work paid off and it was an enjoyable saturday. I’ll have a picture post on that tomorrow.
3. Our mailing list hasn’t been working for like 2 weeks. If you signed up and didn’t receive any kind of notification, it didn’t go thru. I have now got the brokn internets fixed, thanks to the web genius nathaniel is. So again if you want the skinny on our updates, shop stuff, fabrics and whatnot...please go here and re-sign up. If you don’t care that’s cool too.
If any of you know my sister and i have been in sewing overdrive for the past 3 weeks getting stock up for yarncon and the etsy shop. 3 solid weeks of sewing. Plus the basement flooding. So when our favorite customer Alexis posted her feedback on etsy and i clicked the picture..sometimes a simple picture makes everything all worth it. She posted Osiris her fish with her newest pouch and it’s matching yarn.
I just love to see Osiris. She sent me in July this picture of Osiris enjoying her goldfish pouch. (thanks for permission to share the photos alexis!)
Sometimes it just takes a simple little thing like this to make me laugh and feel like...oh yeah that is all woth it. Man, you guys rock.

3rd time is a charm...... i am on the mailing list! I will try and get a pic of maggie showing the fish tank my project bag, this week… :) she shows it to them regularly… and either counts the fish on the bag, or gives them new names.
