Well, it’s getting down to the wire. We’re not moving as fast as I would like, but God knows. Currently, here’s where we stand:
{Confused as to what is going on around here? Read here and here}
*YIKES*
Please remember this is just an average that needs to be sold still. Tee shirts and scrap boxes are not included in this total, so when those are sold it changes the average for the better
I’m trying not to worry. Yesterday at church I had a good talk with the Lord about this week. Yesterday’s service was one of those where I felt the minister was speaking DIRECTLY TO ME. Ever been there? At our church we have two of the exact same service one right after the other since we can’t fit our whole church in the building. Brandon and I, when we are in town, usually attend both to help our Pastor and lay minister team out. When a message touches me in the first service, usually during the second I am more focused on everyone else. But this message touched me BOTH SERVICES, which I can’t say has ever happened to me before. So my point? God knows exactly where I am at. He sees my needs and He is walking with me. That’s the best part.
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.” John 15:4
Thank you Rev Jim Kilgore for the amazing message. THANK YOU.
So onto today….Please, if you are waiting to buy something, today is your day! {Want to shop? Click HERE} Anything helps. ANYTHING. Tee shirt, scrap box, kids hoodies, adult hoodies..anything. Here’s the plan:
Preorders will cease on closing day, which is Friday July 6 at 11PM PST. On Saturday morning Maddie and I will be sorting through orders and inventory and figuring out what we have left. We do have a couple hundred raw and finished items sitting on our shelves that I MUST get rid of, whether we manufacture or not. Soo…
Saturday evening, July 7, the shop will reopen for five days and we will sell at near cost prices our raw and whatever finished items we have left. What are “raw” hoodies you ask? They are hoodies bought from American Apparel that we did not embellish. I actually have a BUNCH of pink and chocolate brown kids hoodies in all sizes that are no longer available at American Apparel, as well as some adult hoodies. I will sell these at nearly the price I paid for them with my wholesale account number. I just need to get rid of them. As far as the finished hoodies, I will take everything in the limited section that did not sell {as well as a couple preorder items that didn’t sell} and mark them near my cost, just to get them off my shelves. I guess you can say we are having a clearance sale. Clearing out the studio, whether it means forever or not. If we stay open, I need the shelves for manufactured goods, if we close, I need my garage back. I will also be selling most of my jersey knit via scrap boxes starting Saturday. There will be two sizes of boxes you can choose from and it will be a mixed assortment
Remember: If you want a preordered item, you MUST purchase by Friday, July 6.
Whew…exhausted yet?!? ha. Want to see something cute? The last couple days I have had Philippians 4:6 and 7 on my mind. It’s been of great comfort to me.
I have this little photo printable sitting on my shelves to remind me of it. Well, this past year in Jake’s class, his music teacher taught them all a little song. Jake LOVED it and would sing it at home all the time. Apparently the rest of the kids in the school liked it too, because at the spring concert, the pre-k – 3rd graders sang it for the parents.
NOTE: Jake is the kid on the far left who is rocking out and not paying any attention whatsoever. Right.
Whelp friends. That’s it for today. Thank you for reading this blog. I have been such a horrible blogger lately, talking only about #saveevystree {don’t forget to use that hashtag on twitter and instagram!!}. So sorry about that!
OH!!! I have something SO VERY EXCITING to share with you on Thursday regarding my husband. I am so proud of him and want you to know what he’s been up to. Come back and see on Thursday!!
You are so inspirational! I am happy to hear I can order next week. I find out the sex of our baby on the 10th and want to order for the little one….but not sure if I’ll need more boy stuff – or pink! Love you!
Received my Brilla and cardigan last week…LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! Can’t wait for it to cool off so I can wear it. Just ordered another!
Praying for God’s desire for your company.
