Hey all- I just wanted to send out a quick note since I've had some messages come through about items being available.
1) Here in South Korea, certain features aren't avilable for messenger. I can't read or reply to anything posted on marketplace and some other places. I can see a message was sent, but I can't respond. If you've messaged me and I haven't responded, this is why! Send me a direct message and I can respond there.
2) I do every single item on a custom made basis. I do not hold stock of anything, which means I'm not a place to grab a last minute gift.
3) I do not have a good yarn store nearby, nor a home big enough to just have every color of yarn in every fiber option readily available to me. This means I have to order everything, wait for it to arrive (normally 2 weeks or less but occasionally longer), then begin the making process.
3) I haven't had any issues or complaints, but I wanted to state this piece as well. This is a self sustaining hobby, not a full business, but I am still charging for the time, effort, and energy I put into an item. It takes time to communicate with you to figure out what yarn color/s, what fiber you prefer, what sizing you need, etc, it takes time to find and price the yarn in the proper colors and fibers and yarn weight, it takes time to wash and color set and rewind the yarn into balls or skeins, it takes time to do the actual crocheting or knitting, to sew all the pieces together, to tuck all the tails so they (hopefully) don't come out, to wash and shape and pin the final product, and to get it over to the post office and shipped out. I love the creating, and this isn't a complaint, but please understand this is not fast fashion. I cannot and will not compete with Shein and other companies that pay employees almost nothing to create pieces, and have massive quantities of materials bought at cheap bulk pricing available to work with.
