Finally got my wholesale order finished today, after the nightmare that was cushion-gate Friday I finally finished, so there are now 4 cushions and 15 pin cushions waiting to be shipped off to their new home in York. Looked like postage stamp HQ in here today!
I'll tell you what though - and working in a post office there's no excuse for this - I've wildly underestimated the size and weight of these products! Not got a box big enough so this is going to end up being at least 2 parcels, which is annoying but it's my error!
So now I'm left with a house that's covered in threads, literally looks at though a cotton factory has exploded in here, and no time to sort it before I have to start the next job, even now I'm blogging on one screen and adding a new product listing in another...I swear, when I come to power I'm bringing 36-hour days into force!
But until then, I'm taking myself to bed for some sleep before another manic Handmade Monday begins!

You live and learn, don't you? I think we've all been there in underestimations. And the bit about sorting and tidying in between jobs? Pah! Until the 36-hour day comes into force, something has to give! x
ReplyDeleteForget the mess, there'll only be another one to clear up later! Love the big cushions, and the pincushions are so cute too!
ReplyDeleteI can never get the posting rates straight in my mind... But glad that you got it all done :) I think that the wierdest thing with thread is that it get everywhere, especially where you haven't been working !
ReplyDeleteI always under-estimate the weight of things before I take them to the post office!
ReplyDeleteLove your cushions though - well done on getting your order out!
Have a good week x
