KK AIOs available

KK AIOs will start being listed today-pockets will not be available until next week.

However I have a family commitment from Thursday to Monday inclusive so will not be able to send orders until mid next week.
Also because my cart is a manual one and I have to remove sold items, it is possible something may sell twice before I have a chance to remove it or mark it sold. For this reason it may be a good idea to give a second colour choice; otherwise I will let you know by email what colours I still have.
Yes I could have an automated cart setup, but I prefer the personal touch of dealing with each customer by email; also it is an added expense and I am reluctant to have to raise prices at the moment. I am in this to help people so don't like robotic systems as they are not personalised enough.
I am extending the discount for registered hunters into October to compensate for the late listing, but will not be doing any custom KKs between now and the end of the year (Knit orders will continue to be accepted). I have quite a bit of KK stock but will mark limited colours as such.
I would like to thank everyone for their patience in what has been a very difficult couple of months. I am looking forward to slowing down between now and Christmas but will be happy to accept knitting orders at any time.

Home again

We are now home after our caravan trip-which was a nice fishing holiday for DH( and he caught a few) but I worked non stop the whole time and now need a holiday to recover.
KKs will start going up from sometime on Tuesday 16th but as my 2 hands just will not do the work of 20 I am really flat strap trying to get them up so if the colour you want is not showing, please check back later as it is going to take me some time to take/load/edit/post pics and I am still trying to snap wings and finish boosters.

Because I missed the first 2 weeks I have decided I will extend the discount ( for nappies only) past the end of the month, to compensate.
However-this will be the last big batch of KKs for this year. I have never liked doing large stockings and have almost killed myself trying to finish these. For that reason I am not sewing any more KKs for the rest of the year. Orders will be filled from this current stock until it runs out.Hopefully I have enough to last until Christmas for anyone placing an order.

After Christmas I will resume making to order as I have been doing in the past.

I need time to catch up on all the things that I have not had time to do for months.
Knits will continue to be made to order.
I hope everyone is enjoying the hunt.
Gossamer Dreams stocks tonight.I have the pictured set listed.

And the hunt begins

This will be my last post before the hunt starts as I am away from early Saturday. As explained in previous posts and on the site, knits will be available all month with discount to hunters starting 9am Monday and orders will be answered by Frances.
Nappies will not be available until 16th when I return; this can't be helped unfortunately, but stock will be available then.
No clues for first few days- icon is too easy to find.If people are having trouble finding it,which is highly unlikely, I will add a clue to the home page later in the week.
Hope everyone enjoys the hunt and does not get as stressed as I have rushing to set everything up for whilst I am away!!

Nappy Hunt Month

The next nappy hunt is just over a week away. If you have not already registered to be a hunter please do so, as you need to be a registered hunter with a code to receive discounts
http://www.diaperdecisions.com/pages/gcdhreg.php
Unfortunately I will be away for the first half of the hunt so this is how Possum Pouches will be involved.
Firstly the icon will be extremely easy to find, no weird puzzles or difficult clues; it will be easily found right there on a page which you should be able to find quite quickly from the menu; if it becomes necessary I will add a clue on the home page after the first few days.
KNITS.All instock knits will have 10% off for the whole month or until sold; knits can also be ordered throughout the month, and the discount on orders will be 5%, but discounted orders will only be accepted for the number of items which can be completed by mid October; after that normal prices will apply. However with both of us knitting quite fast it is hoped all September hunt orders can be finished within that time frame.Frances will be looking after all knit enquiries and orders whilst I am away; please order via the website as other email addresses may not be checked until my return.
KK NAPPIES These will not be available until the second half of the hunt.I will not be here to receive orders and Frances will not have any nappy stock.
A discount of 10% will apply to all AIO and Pocket Instocks only from 16th of Sept till the end of the hunt. Orders for KKs will not be able to be accepted during the hunt period.There should be good instocks of KK AIOs and some Pocket instocks available on 16th.
Discount applies to products only; normal postage will apply and be advised by email on receipt of orders. I keep postage to the absolute minimum but due to rising costs it has become impossible to continue giving discounted postal rates.
The website operates on a manual system. You do not receive automatically generated replies from a robot; instead you get an individual reply from either Frances or me, usually within 24 hours.
As we write each reply as a personal response please do not quote anything we have said in that email to others, either verbally, by email or in forums.
Also our photos are copyright; please do not use them in forums or on blogs without our permission.
Sold items also have to be manually removed, so it is sometimes possible to oversell before the items can be marked as sold; if you have a second colour choice please add it to the comments box, otherwise we will advise what alternatives are available.
You must be a registered hunter to receive discounts and the code must be entered into the comments box- the discount will be applied and advised in our return email.
We hope everyone enjoys this hunt; it is a lot of work for sponsors and a huge effort for the organisers but should be great fun for all.

Home again

Have not had much time to update blog- have been enjoying a brief holiday in beautiful Cairns. Last time I was there was 1995, just before the SkyRail opened, so was pleased to be able to enjoy that ride to Kuranda, and back on the train. If I had to name the one best thing it would be the DOME. This is a large free flight aviary on top of the Casino, quite a few bird species and some lovely little furry people; black cockatoos who put a hole in the balls of DH's silver slave bangle, and removed buttons from the top of people's caps in a couple of seconds. They love attention and it was most enjoyable.
Now it is time to get back to reality, and with the nappy hunt coming up in September I am getting a few things ready for that busy month. Unfortunately it clashes with our caravan trip, but I have worked out a way around that; more info nearer to the end of the month here or on newsletter

My backpack

I needed a bag or backpack for my upcoming holiday and decided to make a patchwork and quilted one. This is the Jinny Beyer Backpack pattern, but I was using patchwork fabric from my enormous stash so did not have to buy any thing at all to make it. We quilters know to never throw anything away!!This is a hurriedly taken pic.

Slight change of plan- auction cancelled;items available for sale or order via PP website
