KK Orders will start getting posted on Monday, so I will send out emails for payments over the weekend. I am still working flat out to finish them in that time, because so many interruptions keep occurring.
At this stage I am unsure when I will return to accepting nappy orders in any large numbers, but when I do I am taking to steps to ensure I do not get overloaded.
I am still trying to sort out this mess of boxes, and soon it is school holidays when I will have my eldest grandson visiting; after that we have holidays coming up and I plan to make it a proper holiday this time, not like last year when I sewed in the caravan the whole time I was away.
I am staying offline as much as I can at the moment to try to devote as much time as possible to sewing.

Still surrounded by mess
I still have a couple of weeks ahead of me with the moving saga;but have stopped and put it all on hold (despite the house still being covered by boxes and bags) to try to finish the current long list of KK orders.
I am still not taking any nappy orders but will be able to do that once everything else is caught up;however I will be limiting the time period each month when orders will be accepted. If I don't do this I am finding I have no time to do anything else and I do have other interests and commitments which I would like to pursue.
I am looking at a wholesale option for KKs but that is a little way off and may not be the path I decide to take.
Frances and I are still accepting knitting orders but need to advise that currently we are full for June and into the early part of July.
I will not be online now until next week, I am taking a weekend free of the computer so I can sew and knit without getting distracted, as I do everytime I look at the screen.
Those of you who have ordered KKs should receive an email early next week with payment info and I apologise for the delay. I am wishing I had never started moving anything. For the record I am not actually moving house, just the workshop. I had spread over the spare bedroom, the lounge, the office, the front verandah, a store room and a large guest room and DH was getting fractious. I have no idea how he expected me to condense it down to 1 room as I am still using 4 of those with quite a bit of mess to still be sorted.
We are hoping to take the caravan away in the coming months for a couple of short breaks. The caravan parks we visit tend to be on calm water so DH can take his car top tinny out easily and pretend to fish. This means I am left in a boring caravan park miles from civilisation so usually end up filling the truck with sewing machines and fabric to give me something to pass the time. I refuse to do that this time and am just taking books and knitting.
I will update this page when I can, and also need to update the website but until someone offers to be my assistant that is one job that gets put at the bottom of the list.

The move goes on!
I am still lost in a mountain of boxes and fabric; this is a mammoth effort and I am working my butt off to get it finished but a few spanners have been thrown in the works to drag it on a little longer.
I have been absolutely inundated with KK orders, which I am totally unable to sew until the machines are in place again, so I have decided to put a temporary hold on all sewing orders from now until further notice(excludes those already received this morning).
If you have emailed and I have not replied, I will have received it and will answer asap; it loses me many hours in the day answering all the emails that I get and my priority in daylight hours is to move and sort everything; so please don't think I am ignoring you, but you will be on my list for nappies as soon as I can get to them.
I sincerely apologise for the delay but hopefully the new setup will be more efficient-if I ever get it completed.
Knitting proceeds at night as usual.
A large piece of the tiger poly velour fabric in pictured nappy is free to anyone who can pick it up from Brisbane Western suburbs , otherwise it will go to Lifeline along with a mountain of dress fabric lengths and probably flannelette.
