The Shop is coming back this weekend!

I’m hoping to get the shop back up and running at some point over the weekend.

My mum and stepdad are coming to visit and the extra pairs of hands should make it possible to stock check, re-stock and re-activate the shop, update all the relevent links, and keep baby!W happy.

(At least in theory.)

As for the (hopefully) resulting orders… getting orders out as quickly as possible, and giving great customer service is still right up there among my highest priorities for the business. I consider my customers my boss(es) which I find is a great way to make sure I get the important things done (like get orders out) as soon as I can.

The shop information says to expect your order in 3-5 days but, as people who have ordered from OKY before will know, I like to get orders that come in the middle of the day, sorted and in the post on the same day whenever possible. Basically I’m still intending to do this, but given that I have a six week old to look after, and he’s my first baby, sometimes it might take a little – and i do stress little – bit longer.

But if that’s the case, I will let you know, and keep you informed when the parcel goes out.

Basically, for you, it should be business as usual.

And I’m really looking forward to being back. 🙂

Incredible Work… (and – amazingly and despite everything – an FO!)

Sometimes you receive something that just blows you away :

It’s SO beautiful. And soft. <3

It was crocheted by Moothing – thank you! We’re very lucky indeed!

In other news I finished a pair of Blu (ravelry link) for baby!W, since the boy had no pants. (The boy needs no pants! 😉

I knit the 3-6 months size, but i think they’re going to fit for about 5 minutes. Mind you, they were a fun, quick knit, so I won’t mind knitting another pair, all too soon. 🙂

Next up… some toast for me…

Thank you SO much for all your kind messages. im starting to slowly but surely work my way through replying to them. I’m sure you can understand what’s holding me up. 😉
