DHL lost my parcel !

Not just any parcel ..a huge box the size of a coffin ! with 60 dolls in it ...60!

my stock ..I am just numb ....

all the Brackens ,normal Mina . Red Mina ..its the size of a bloody house how can they not find it

at least they phoned me ..so I can get the rest of this weeks wigs out

they have told me they will know more Monday ..but they did mention the LOST word

at least I have some Mina ..thats positive ...I have a doll show Sunday , it will go ahead ..but without Bracken

Ive had to let Dennis know ...chances are if the parcel is lost ...it will go back to Germany

and turn up in about 3 weeks ...dose that help me ...Nope

So I took a picture of MY ..yes this one is mine ..dark tan Mina ..and I love that lily ..its a giant lily and the smell is just beyond beautiful ..I have a new lens and filter on the camera ..the doll is lovely ..the lily is heavenly ..so I forgot the troubles of 60 lost Elves ....sigh

I had a weekend off ...Took Rosie and her friends to Weston-Super-Mare for T4 ..we dropped them off ..and what an atmosphere the town had ... had a great day ..time off
sun sea , sand and amazing rain LOL
walked so far ..my feet are still acheing LOL
hand is feeling a little better .AND So do I ..not so grumpy LOL
.a few more weeks of this ..Im feeling very optimistic

update.. Good news and bad

what shall I call her :), originally uploaded by sleepingelf.

I have sold out of white ...I have A LOT of pelts on order ..but they still haven't arrived .they are being chased up

Im Ok for the orders I have now taken last week ..but it will affect a lot taken after today

GOOD NEWS

I am having treatment on my hands ...the damage I have done to them over working ..basically ..can be reversed ...
but I have been told
I HAVE to have a day off ..and I must take breaks
and use ice-packs every couple of hours , if I do this ..my hands will get better ..and I will be able to continue for may years to come

BAD NEWS
If I dont do this my hands will be damaged permanent
and I cant risk this ..
.I apologize if you have placed an order
IT IS BEING MADE
WAIT LIST ...up to 3 weeks again ...
this isnt because of the lack of materials ..but the state of my hands

it wont affect my orders, this is my job ..I have to work with it
..Im a little behind because of my holiday
and how long its taking me to make the pigglets sewn for Charles
These are now finished ..and the last bit of assembly is being done now

but I have to pace myself ..and Im haveing a day off ...as soon as I finish the pigs for Charles

As long as I slow down
and stop off the PC more ..rest ..meds ice-packs and the hand-brace should work ..Ive been offered injections ..but dont want these yet as I feel these will just mask the problem ..I have to learn to take some time off and stop abusing my poor hands ..starting now :)


I have so much planned for the future as long as Im careful ..I will be able to do it

POSTAGE CHARGE ..and look whats comming

a bit of an announcement ..postage is now a flat rate of $9.00 insured

I am subsidising it a little and not chargeing for packageing
...but I am having to ship everything insured
the last 2 months I have had to send out an amazing amount of replacement wigs due to packages getting lost ...i have had 2 return to me ..so I can add them back to stock
but too many are getting lost
my policy is to send out replacements ..but there are just too many

when I sent them out International Signed for ..very few go missing so from today EVERYTING is sent Insured

ALSO

look whats comming soon ..sample is being sent to me to see

will be fantastic with Large Moona , Yo , LittleFee

My design again...well ..with the help of Mina and Moona !

straight from the Elves woodshop !

Bracken has been busy for his girls
