No knitting. Sorry, just an update.
We hope this finds everyone well and staying warm as we make this last push toward spring.
We had a power surge, and lost most of the info off the shop PC, and our web host was having issues and our website crashed (a few times) and we lost all our orders from the beginning of Dec to the end of Jan. We thought we had recovered all the lost info and orders, but it seems we are still missing a few orders. If you ordered during that time and you did not get your order, please let us know and we will get it out to you. We are sorry for any trouble and we have backed up everything and have been backing up weekly in order to keep this for happening again.
The Jan club shipments went out late due to a few set backs. We were waiting on the patterns for this month, and our wonderful designer had some family issues to take care of.
We also had a death and medical emergency in the family that added to the delay. With out going into too much detail, the death was a child, but not one of ours, and a close family member is having heart trouble and we are waiting to find out what the next step is with that.
Everyone in my house is fine, and so is Navy man. We are taking a month off from the clubs to take care of some wholesale orders. We have added a number of retailers and will be adding some new items in the next month.
This month is our 2 year anniversary here at Doodlebirds (I can't believe it's been two years already!). We will be celebrating it next month with some new yarns, colorways and hand made products, and some great sales.
We also have a new "employee" who is taking care of customer service when things get busy around here. That would be Navy man. I guess he isn't really an employee, he "volunteers" his time so long as I don't make him look at too much knitting, feel how soft the yarn is or ask him if he thinks my new socks I just finished are pretty. He has learned very quickly the knitting terms and about the yarns that we carry and about that "dye stuff". I also ply him with baked goods and cookies, so it seems to work out in my favor.
Happy Knitting,
Beth & the rest of the Doodlebirds Crew
