Today is Black Friday.. and today I spent the day FINALLY updating the website. I’ve been kinda sick for about a month. Pretty much since Halloween, actually. It’s been rather unpleasant.
I’m finally on the mend and ready to get back into the swing of things.
Check out the Holiday fabrics I’ve put up in the store!
In honor of Cyber Monday coming up, I’m running a special! 25% off any collar purchase plus FREE Shipping!
This is Monday the 30th ONLY. Use Coupon Code CYBERMONDAY to take advantage of the special!
September will be here in only two days! and after that is October, which means HALLOWEEN!
I’m so very proud of myself. I’ve actually managed to get some Halloween fabrics up in the store on time!
Anywho, take a look at what exciting new things are in the store, just waiting for your poochie! Remember, I need two to three weeks to get your collar together and ship it out so better order soon!
As an added bonus, I’m offering my readers a 25% discounton any Halloween collar ordered between now and 10/30/09! Use coupon code BOOTOYOU for your 25% off! (orders received after October 15th may not be received in time for Halloween)
Carol held this as a fundraiser for the Eastern Canada French Bulldog Club, and French Bulldog Rescue. They raised quite a bit of money thanks to the generosity of all the sponsors
I got an email from Hope of Golly Gear saying she won one of my collars in the silent auction! Hope and I “met” when I found her blog the The Golly Log. Hope has a dog named Dax and I knew immediately I needed to read this blog. Dax is named after Dax from Star Trek and my dogs are named with Star Trek names… too funny!
Anyway, Hope sent me this awesome picture of Dax in her new collar!
In 2005, I start my Animal Communication and Animal Reiki business, Sacred Paws. In 2007, I burned out. I had been selling holisitic products as well, so I needed to get a tax id number.
Turns out, that most people really just wanted the collars I was making “on the side”. So I had been using that business name for taxes etc.
I’m off work today and I’m going to the County Clerks office to file my dba for Sew Crazy Dog Lady. I will be closing up everything for Sacred Paws, but keeping the website and blog up.. I have to post more info… I found that I’d really rather just inform and educate rather than work.
oh and sew.. I’d rather be sewing…and knitting ! which is my new passion.. I think I’m going to change my karate blog from Karate-Kyu to KicknKnit .. right? why not?
enough for now.. this short and quirky post is done.. hoping I can post more now that my job is settled down a ibt.
These are only in flickr right now. Hopefully tonight I’ll get them up in the shop!
They are all 1 inch wide and adjust from 14″ to 20″ but for most of them you can special order any size! Some patterns look better at diifferent sizes so I’ll be sure to recommend what size dog collar would look the best!
Wow! We have gotten almost a foot of snow! The girls are very happy
I’ve also started a group on Flickr.. if you have pics of your dog in one of my collars, please add it to the pool! I’ve already added some but if you want to show off your dog, that would be the place to do it!
I am not known for my organizational skills. Well, that’s not true. At my day job, I’m a whiz! Maybe because I’ve been doing some incarnation of that job for over 10 years. (YIKES!)
Usually, what happens is I outgrow my space and then don’t upgrade. And then I run out of stuff and don’t realize it. Annoying!
This is how I used to store my hardware and webbing.
This box is 8.5 by 11.
The Most organized Drawer
Er.. the 3/4 inch hardware
This is all the tiny hardware and all the extra stuff like split rings and charms
Today, I went to Wally World and dished out $42.50 for Big Momma here.
Big Momma: She's a tackle Box.
Isn’t she purty?
Check it out.
Here is all my 5/8 Inch Hardware and some extranous stuff
All my 3/4 inch hardware.
See that Lonely Little D-ring? yeah.. see what I mean? I had no idea.
All the 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch hardware. I kept it in bags since I don't have an individual spot for each item.
Leash Clips on the side. Not sure why the dividers have little slots. Probably a fishing thing.
Webbing at a Glance in the top bit.
These are less than a half inch wide.. Yes that bag says CAT . I have some safety clips for cat collars. This is one of the three small boxes that go in the side bit there.
Is this not perfection? Now I can use the old box for invoices and orders waiting to be made.
