Commission hiatus

As of July 2, 2011, I am currently closed for commissions. I need this time to make the orders I already have in my queue, as well as work on prizes for the next Speed Demos Archive marathon, Summer Games Done Quick, August 4-6. As such, I feel it would be irresponsible to commit to any other projects during this time, when I am unable to provide an accurate “finished” estimate.

I will make another blog post announcing when I am again ready to take on new commissions.

I am working my hardest to get through my queue and get everything out to my customers. I appreciate everyone’s patience, and thank you all for supporting me. <3

Not as planned

So, I did indeed travel to the UK, and stayed with my fiancé for a good long while. In fact, I stayed a whole week longer than I had planned, due to some travel mishaps. At any rate, I am now back in the states, and very, very far behind in my queue.

Moving, especially to a different country, is not exactly easy. In the process of bringing over my possessions, I had to leave some important things back here. That included all of my acrylic yarn, and my fiberfill stuffing, both of which are vitally important to my work. Long story short: I didn’t get any work done while in England, and despite being back a week, I still have not done any. All I can do is apologise and promise to work harder, but that won’t make my commissions be done when I had promised them. I am very, very sorry. If anyone was expecting a commission to be finished by this point and won’t have it in time, I am more than willing to refund their down payment and cancel their order.

I have to reorganise my queue once again, as well, as the European orders I had placed on higher priority are just going back to their original positions. In addition, I still have quite a lot of wedding planning to do, considering it’s only three months away and I haven’t even finalised the guest list. It’s going to take me a while to sort out my orders and my site (and my life, for that matter), but hopefully I will be back up to speed soon. Thanks, everyone, for understanding and being patient.

Still trying

My last post still stands; however, before I go to England, I’m going to try to whip out some of the fast projects in my queue. I wonder how many I can finish before I leave on Saturday?

The first down is a Kirby plushie for Andreas Karlsson.

Kirby!

Each time I make a Kirby, I have a harder and harder time sending them away! One of these days, I’ll have to make one for myself. (His Ravelry project page is here.)

Slowdown

This Saturday, I’m leaving for a month. Where am I going? England! 🙂 I will be living with my fiancĂ© and trying to get as many things sorted out as possible. We’re getting married this autumn, so the more I accomplish now, the easier things will be for the both of us when it’s time for me to actually move.

What does this mean with regards to commissions? I’m still accepting them, and updating my queue. The thing is, there may be more of a delay than I had at first told you because of my travelling. I am going to focus on the European commissions while I am in England, because it will be faster for European customers to receive them from there. My queue page will be rearranged to reflect this. No one has been forgotten or ignored. If I finish all of the European commissions during my month stay, I will work on the North American ones again; I won’t stall on your projects just because I’m in the UK.

Thank you all for supporting me by ordering items, spreading the word about my site, or even just reading my blog. It means so much to me to help support myself by doing something I truly love, and something that I hope makes others happy.
