Making progress

Yesterday and today alone I have appliqued/monogrammed about 14 things. I stayed up until 11:50 last night but I've gotten a lot done (and the kids are down for nap so I hope to get lots more done)! My sinuses are not normal but are definitely better, so I'm feeling alive and motivated again! I might make a dent in all this work yet! Here is the new design I added yesterday to Applique Cafe. The sale has ended and we're setting up the instant download e-mail application tonight! If all goes well my life will become a little more easier!
For every 50 things I do for other people I get to squeeze in 1 for my own kids! HA. Who doesn't love Walmart? I put the EB Raggy Pumpkin on this $3 Garanimals tee this morning. The orange & white striped leggings are actually from a $6 pajamas set (also from Walmart) and this makes a cute outfit for little Mallory for school! Hopefully they won't look like pajama pants!! They look like all the other leggings they are selling now so I got them. I also got her the lt pink top like this swing top and pink leggings and a hot pink set as well. Add an applique and you've got a decent outfit for preschool!

For embroidery people, you may have noticed price changes on the Applique Cafe website. In going to instant download we decided it was best to level out the prices so that most all appliques are $4.00. There are a couple we kept at $6 (the ones with more than 1 design included). We should have started out that way but trial and error and we decided to change them all as we get ready for ID! Back to work...

Clearing up?

OK I just read last night's post to see if it made any sense! I feel like I've been in a cold/allergy medicine fog for about a week now. Friday I bought Tylenol Cold nighttime and it worked GREAT after I was up half the night Thursday night. I slept like a champ this weekend! Today I figured the Tylenol Cold daytime would do the trick so I got a bottle on our way to church. I'm not so sure if those meds shouldn't be controlled substances? I felt pretty loopy all morning and after lunch came home and took a good nap! I do feel better though, so maybe they did the trick! Jeff is at Publix with B and is bringing me a late afternoon Starbucks. The little ones are still napping so I'm trying to crank out some shirts! I may pull a late night tonight just so I can put a dent in all this work!

We're VERY close to instant download e-mail on Applique Cafe! The ghost is already set up so the people who buy it, get an e-mail with the download immediately. This is a little confusing but we hope to get the rest set up either tonight or tomorrow night! It's going to take Jeff sitting down for about 2 hours getting all the files uploaded. We want to do it with the least amount of confusion possible so keep us in your prayers!!

I still have 1 design to put on the site but we haven't added the one thing we think it needs. Maybe later this evening! Off to work!

70 and counting

Yesterday I tried counting the items I have in my neat little 'organized bins' to monogram or applique. Let's just say I got to 70 and quit... October 13th became very unrealistic as a catch up date so today I bumped it out to the 19th. I have bunko at my house this week (and my cleaning lady has a pinched nerve and is out for a month) and I will be out of town for several days too (camping trip and visiting my parents)! I'm wondering if I can get caught up by the 19th?? I will try my best to do so! I've also been having war with my sinuses for over a week now which does not help matters one bit. I've done Sudafed (nighttime and daytime), Allegra-D, bought myself a Neti Pot, was up from 2-4 one night this week (then slept on the couch). No fun!! So.... if you have any questions please e-mail me! I still have pumpkin shirts to do as well! I hate to turn people away, but am having to do so. I can't keep up this pace or I might be in the looney bin by Christmas!!

Regarding Applique Cafe, we've installed the instant download software and are in the process of setting up/organizing/uploading all the zip files for the designs. We may have our computer science degrees after we finish! We're also in the process of converting all of our designs in to ART format! We have some designs already available in .ART and .ART50 and I sent 9 designs today to be converted (and will send the rest over the next few days) When we go to instant download ALL designs will be in ART format as well. Exciting, but also very time consuming! I also tested a cute new design today but we have 1 thing to add and will probably list it tomorrow.

If you have any questions, e-mail me! If you have shirts you want me to work on after the 19th, e-mail me! I will try my best to get caught up over the next 2 weeks on all that I have. I'm also working on an organized system so that I don't find myself with 70+ items waiting for me too! Thanks!
