On that note, a quick update as to why I have been a bit silent these past few days. I had a ton of orders come in, and have even more streaming in by the day! This called for me doing what I had been putting off for some time now. I have hired someone to help with the sewing. He is a close friend, and a beautiful artist. I will introduce him once he has gotten into the swing of things. I can run a VERY tight ship, and if stuff isn't up to my standards, then the crap hits the fan. So keep your fingers crossed that I can have some patience with this exciting new change at Brooke Van Gory!
I have been working pretty non-stop since last Wednesday, and Gerg has been off work since Thursday. On Friday, he started getting sick, and long story short, both Gerg AND Gory have the swine flu. It is a very mild case for both of them, and Gerg has really been the only one tested, but we really figure that Gory has it by default, he has been sick since before christmas. So keeping up with orders, AND tending to a sick hubby AND 10 month old has been TONS of fun!
Not really.
But I am slowly back into the swing of things, and new stuff should be posted in th shop in the next few weeks! Including a new camera bag design, tons of new longies, and fleece soakers and ruffled bloomer soakers!
I'm glad their swine flu case is mild! Sending lots of *feel better* dust their way. Can't wait to see the new stuff!
ReplyDeletesorry to hear they have the piggy flu!!! no fun!!! we had it at our house (yeah, all three of us at the same time...fun!)at the end of October (had to put out a sign so the little trick-or-treaters coudn't come to our door..so sad!) Anyway, we found it was much more mild than the regular flu! We had appts to get the vaccine the same week we got sick, so that was a blessing in disguise!! I'm not big on vaccines (and especially not on being a test dummy!)and I'm sooooo glad none of us took it! Warning: it may come around to hit you twice...the second time a little worse and a few days after you start thinking "hey, I feel all better!"
ReplyDeleteOh, and thanks for the link to your other blog! I saw that after I made my last post...oops!
You've got to be pretty much amazing. I don't know how you do it all! Good luck with your "employee"! :) Hope the boys feel good soon & that you & Evan avoid the ick!
ReplyDeleteGlad it's a mild case! The swine flu takes forever to go away. My dad's brother, his wife, my dad, mom, sister and brothers ALL had it and it was a mild but really lingering case. Annnd of course since I'm allergic to egg whites I couldn't have the vaccine, but randomly never got the swine flu. Hope you all feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI really hope everything gets back to normal, and you don't have to take care of any more sick Gs!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the new designs!! =D
