Countdown Update


Yes, as many of my emails have stated, we're on a fast track to getting up and selling. By mid-October, this web address will become our online store. If you didn't know how hard we're working, this might seem a little crazy to you. Yes, we're gonna do it.

So, it's a learning curve of course, for you and us. One of the things that coming up for our prospective vendors is having a pricing plan that works for wholesale. Some of the suggestions I'm passing on to folks is to leave more of the kit "raw". Meaning, if here's fabric cutting to do, let the crafter do it and provide paper patterns. Things like this can make a huge difference.

In many cases, once you have instructions for one kit done, some simple editing can make those work for another kit. That really is the way the development of a kit works. There's a certain amount of time up front, but then that gets passed onto the sum of all the kits your sell us.

Things we're still looking for? Crocheted and tatted lace kits, embroidery kits for finished items like table linens.
