Howdy! Why haven’t I been active? Why haven’t I had public updates, sales, etc?
I can’t yet! Over the summer when my productivity picked up I took plenty of orders. As soon as a wave of difficulty came into my life I stopped and still haven’t taken an order since and have just worked on getting through that list. I sat down with myself last night and the list is not long, and I continue to work towards the end of it. But it would not be fair for me to take orders, make premades, etc if I have people that have sat and dreamt of this set they created in their head. But don’t worry I haven’t disappeared! I know I’ve mentioned this a few times since then, especially my story!
Running a shop is serious stuff. It takes a specific kind of person and life to succeed and I’m so proud of the people I see absolutely kill it. My life is very unpredictable in its ways so I’m okay with being a premade shop because morally it’s the best, despite the disappointment. I know customs will be offered in doses I can handle. And I still have a whole waitlist to get through. But I know overall afterwards, premade shop is best as the general. However that chapter cannot begin until I meet my promises. I am over the moon grateful at how graceful and lovely you all have been. Even those that prefer refund than the current wait, have been with upmost respect. My list is filled with gorgeous sets, it makes the work I do accomplish feel like an adventure. You are all truly so creative. I am the kind of handler that can’t get away from black. So I live vicariously through all of you that crave color and make it look effortlessly professional and sleek. I made mistakes, as I have made in the past openly, but this time I’m not hiding from them or running, even though my activity is on the lower side! And as usual, an immense thank you to my customer service. Even in times when I’m unable to be at my phone from life events for days at a time, you are still persistent to get the customers word to my phone, and not let me forget a question. You keep my in track! Love you all, can’t wait to show you these sets. Can’t wait for the day I plan a sale.

Been a minute since I’ve posted an all black, couldn’t possibly miss the opportunity with this heavily customized one.
I’m still pretty tickled with shop progress. A manageable amount of delays and complications, feeling pretty organized and aware of what’s needed and what’s taking longer to arrive, doing what I can. I currently only take wednesdays off (except to ship something) and completing 1-3 harnesses per day depending on complexity/style. The recent yet again buckle complication (supplier doing a price gouge) put me a little back from original goals but right now August 1st waitlist return is still looking pretty promising. By the end of July, I’m projected to be way ahead of schedule for the first time in a long time, and cannot wait for that feeling! I will say; it’s very motivating with how many stunning orders I have on my plate to see finished.

IF YOU HAVE A PAID HARNESS ORDER, PLEASE READ:

So to preface before jumping into it, deepest apologies for being MIA the last 7-10 days. I was treated to a trip on a day off but got sent into a pretty intense pain flare with no time to recover since then as it’s been a stressful time. Normally I work when the kids sleep or during my partners work breaks but given some days I could hardly walk comfortably from this flare, I took any chance I could to simply rest. I am recovering slowly but surely and doing what I can in partner with my online assistant, but this definitely set me back with shipping and updates which frustrates me more than I can explain to y’all.
With that said. My husband is officially done working for the summer June 18th. From that point forward we switch to me working full time for the entirety of summer 💖💖💖. So:
-
IF YOU HAVE PLACED A HARNESS ORDER BEFORE MAY 15
Every single one placed before will be finished and shipped BY June 30th. Any excessive overdue will be contacted within the next 3 days for updates and offers 🤠
-
IF YOU HAVE PLACED A HARNESS ORDER AFTER MAY 15
All those will be finished and shipped BY July 17th unless stated otherwise.
-
I will begin taking orders June 15th from the existing waitlist. From there it will be the 1st and 15th each month I contact spots from waitlist. Again, customs opening date this summer is completely dependent on how I maintain this system since I am not at all happy with my turn around time and wait times that I ask of people. So want to make things a more guarantee and raise expectations!

Another Classic moment ❣️
So after doing my polls, my engagement is much higher on Instagram recently, and a faster reach. With everything tallied between both platforms the first premade sale will be on my Instagram, the next one 2-3 weeks to follow will be on Facebook! Just like when they were on my Facebook, a post will be made at the time specified (May 15th at 3pm PST) with photos. You will comment something specifying the one you want (ex: purple mine, claim purple, purple!!) the first person to comment for that specific harness will be contacted, if passed or not paid then it will go to the second and so on claim on that specific one.
Handles can be added for the corresponding rings at an additional cost for all premades. Occasionally I can add rings but typically nothing more than that.
For those that voted Facebook or do not have an Instagram, reach out to a TRUSTED friend to either allow you to log in and use their account or attempt to make a claim for you! I will post tips and tricks on how to have a more successful chance at a claim tomorrow on my Instagram and Facebook story, as well as color and size ideas you’ll be seeing on the 15th.
REMINDER: premades were not prioritized over your custom. Majority of these are custom mistakes, changes, drops, or down time I had between waiting on specific materials.

I have the technical knowledge of a dung beetle when it comes to Facebook so not sure how to create a poll here. Anywhoo just comment your vote down below. I will tally everything this afternoon between here and Instagram and announce platform, time, and details of premade sale once everything’s counted!

I’ve weighed out the options and doing a premade sale on a third party site would be too complicated for me to keep as fair as possible right now due to a number of factors. I’ve decided I’ll do one premade sale on one platform and 2-3 weeks later another on the opposite. For this upcoming premade sale would you prefer it be run on Facebook or Instagram?

I don’t mean to play favorites.....but....

Had a hectic week from dog show, wedding anniversary, and then accidentally jamming my foot in the petal causing my machine to CLOCK OUT. She’s back up and running which means so am I. Have to get through some personal messages in my DM’s later tonight and get organized again 🤠. It looks like the highest demand day of the offered dates is the 15th of May for a premade sale. Still figuring out the details to run it on both platforms if possible and will get to that in the next day or two so y’all know what to do!

The next premade sale will be sometime between May 10-15. I’ll know exact date, time, sizes, and amount once I hit into May a little more, so keep your eyes out for that announcement early May!
-
Going further for the time being customs will be much more limited and we will not be having regular openings. As always, if you already had a spot on the waitlist you still do and we are working through taking orders (we are still slowed from buckle shortages).
-
I’ve come to a few understandings with everything. Since returning, I’ve valued honesty and transparency. Due to the nature of my life and various issues due to supplies and other delays it has been difficult to keep things timely. I’ve made changes that have helped significantly, like my online assistant, various forms, etc. But regardless I've realized that until we can get things more consistent it is not fair to ask everyone to wait undetermined times. I thought all would be okay with complete transparency, but to avoid further upsetting anyone that does not know me personally or having anyone wait too long we will be be restricting custom slot numbers, strategy, and frequency until further notice.
-
As the waitlist shrinks in size the frequency of premade sales will increase though so keep your eyes out for that!

Still on my posting Hemingway style harness trend 🤠. Have some Classics and Hybrids coming up on my plate.
Been very frustrated at the 2” buckle shortage. Feels like I’m a sitting duck at this point. Just been sewing as many pieces as I can so when the buckles arrive I just have to put it on and a few pieces together rather than starting from scratch. Need to put the chart up to date still, just tend to lack on updates when stressed out and this buckle lacking is NOT the bees knees 🥴.
Once they arrive and I see my pace, I will post a definite date for my premade sale and waitlist opening ❣️

UPDATED PINNED POST FOR ORDER INFORMATION❣️🤠

Please note that the waitlist is still currently temporarily closed for delays. I am currently looking at April 23rd but am waiting until the rough patch I’m in currently settles down or I adjust to it for more realistic expectations. I am still taking orders from the existing waitlist, just may be some delays for reasons stated above. Small price adjustments to certain customs will be made before reopening the list since I’ve been making improvements to many of the materials I use on aspects. This does not effect people on the existing list. Any changes you see made to the FAQ are from this point forward based off where I saw I need more self improvement or shop function improvement! This way I am not failing expectations but instead making them realistic for the time.

Tonight I’m doing an inventory order for not just orders that I’m working on within the next 2 weeks, missing pieces, but ALSO some premade harness supplies I’m missing. I want two other webbing colors aside from black and scraps I have, what webbing colors make your heart skip? 😊

So this month has brought me a lot of challenges behind the scenes and I’m noticing this week alone I’m missing a lot of my promises and dates. Due to some things going on my business productivity and at times ethic is suffering and I don’t wish to watch that progress into something bigger!
I’m making the unfortunate decision to close the waitlist openings until April.

ANYONE WITH AN ORDER OR ON THE WAITLIST:
I am still working, that’s not changing at all. And still taking orders off my existing waitlist. I am only closing new names on the waitlist before this gets any more out of control and will reassess where I’m at after all this to make sure I don’t get to this point and how to resolve all business glitches 😊. Anyone with a paid order will have their harness shipped out anywhere between the next 1-4 weeks (depending on when you placed order). I have so many photos, tracking a, and updates to send out the coming days as well! Waitlist contacts slowed down speed recently due to everything happening but the show will go on.

I know this is very disappointing to a lot of you, especially with the classic. But do know this means I will now have time for premades. I already have 7 sitting in my closet partially done, so I have a good feeling come March, its going to be the sale of a lifetime. And so know, this is not a closure. Just a pause button for the quality and betterment of this small business!

I hope you all understand. I’ve seen some shops drowning a bit recently, I know that anxiety too well, so I’m seeing tension rise in the small business department and want to extinguish any flames reaching my side of the hill before I continue accepting names onto my list and start a forest fire (go home smoky), and money into my account. Love y’all. Stay tuned for sale updates and waitlist reopening details as I power through my setbacks. Just need a little extra coffee is all 🤠. And extra k9 maybe (will accept k9s)

Been awhile since I posted an all black set. This time a holo baby 🤠
-
Had to take my productive b**ch pants to the laundromat before putting them back on. Last week was unexpectedly dark in the Coffee Casa. I try not to work too much when I’m not in a good headspace since that’s when I make the most mistakes. I’d rather make quality gear over quick gear (well....ideally I can do both but we are practicing 😂).
Today and tomorrow are prep days after I finish some sets so can’t wait to see what I have to show you and get these sets out. Happy on the decision not to open the list second time this month only since nothing but productivity can be focused on in the coming weeks ❣️
Y’all been enjoying on the clearance candy this last week?
