update.. Good news and bad
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
