This years yearly update...

Yikes!  What's up with me only posting once a year?!  Anyway, its semi-annual whole shop sale time!  This year it's also moving sale time.

The Army has decided our time here in Hawaii will be up after 3 years.  I'm going to miss this place but I'm sure I won't really feel it until winter hits where we're going next.  Miss Fiber Fox will be brought to you from Fort Leavenworth in Kansas coming in mid August 2013.  I'm both sad and excited to make the move.  I've really grown to love Hawaii.  Then again, who wouldn't?  The 80° weather with partly cloudy sunny skies year round is SOOO nice.  But I can't stand being 6 hours behind my friends and family on the East Coast and I really do miss the changing of the seasons.  We have found an awesome rental with 80 acres of land where we can't see our 1 neighbor or the road from the house.  When you live here in Hawaii where land is worth so much, your house is built 8 feet from the houses on either side, your yard is small (ours in big compared to most) and privacy is somewhat lacking.  In the new house I'll have my own art room to make awesome MFF creations.  No longer will I spread out my material on the guest bed in my "office".  My husband will have all his wood working tools too so I plan to design and build the perfect cutting table and maybe even a sewing table for my machine as well.  I'm getting excited just thinking about the things I will build/make!

Lately I've been working to network my shop in new places and improve certain aspects of my online presence.  I had created a Facebook page awhile ago and added a couple things but never really used it to list sales, new prints, etc.  Facebook has also changed the way these pages are laid out of as well so last week I created a new cover graphic to match my Etsy shop graphics.  I'm slowly getting the info updated there but I have been posting links to new prints and other little tid-bits like selling 10 bags in a 24 hour period over the weekend has to be a record.  I also added a COUPON CODE in the notes section for $2 off your next order.  Kinda hoping it will drive people to my page to like it and then get/use the code in my shop.  One can hope anyway :)

Our household goods are being picked up July 10th and I haven't decided if my shop will go into vacation mode until we are in Kansas and I have all of my bags again or if the bags will be packed in a suitcase to come with me (they are very portable) so I can keep selling.  We are going to be very busy in Colorado renovating a tiny house my husband bought off his dad so we can finally rent it out so it may be too much to do all at once.  If I do close my shop for 5 weeks I may reopen with my sale for a month afterward, we'll see!
