Gearing up

With the fourth quarter in full swing, I have been heavy into production and will continue to be in this mode for quite some time to come. So I thought you might be interested in what i have been up to. First up is a final product from last year's line up. This is a set of grubby candy canes that smell most divine. They are scented in the delicious aroma of warm baked cinnamon buns. These were a fabulous seller last year and this year is proving to be much the same.

I am currently working on a wholesale order for these from someone who couldn't keep enough stocked last year. This particular order is for 6 1/2 dozen, and with 3 per set, this means I will be dipping 234 canes for this order alone. Below is just a small part of the order, which I grubbied up this past weekend. I still have a lot more to go!

Now just because the holidays are fast approaching does not mean that I can ditch everything else. On the contrary. I have not lost sight of the many, many products that I will need to produce for the show in February. Here is just a sampling of what I have been working on this week.

Well, that's all for now....I better get back to work!!!

Looky, looky!




I found these in a closet today in the craft room. I made them a while back. I will be sewing them into more pillows right away. The even better news is that I have about 10 more sitting there ready to be stitched! So I have my "work cut out for me." LOL!

Pink October



This week we at Make Mine Pink will present a special shop hop called Pink October. All shops that are part of this special shop hop have contributed money to the Susan Komen Foundation to further breast cancer research. I would love it if you would join me as we present you with special items for your shopping experience. Please don't forget to support this special charity and honor the women in your life.
