January Projects

Hannah and I have been working quietly (okay, not so quietly, really) behind the scenes since recovering from the holidays.  We've been having weekly meetings and getting quite a bit accomplished, though the poor blog has suffered somewhat.  We just wanted to let you all know we're still here, and are so excited about our new website launching soon.

I know we've talked about it for a while now, but we just got the "rough draft" copy sent to us and couldn't be happier.  With just a few tweaks, we'll have it up and running in no time!  And we will have e-commerce for those who just want to buy straight from the website (without going through etsy). 

We're also close to finishing our press kit which will got out to certain blogs, boutiques, magazines, and local TV stations.  Hopefully, we'll have a date soon that we can tell you all about the launch.  Oh- and don't worry, we're keeping the blog (it may have a new address, but we'll tell you all), and plan on doing more tutorials soon.

Hannah started making iPad covers and after she made a laptop cover for her computer and mine, she started making more- ours are 15", but as always, we take custom orders, so just email us or convo us on etsy if you're interested in having a one-of-a-kind cover for your latest techie gadget!

Here's a little peek at some of the goodies we've been making:

we're starting to think Spring!

a little craft organizer- grommets are going in the top so you can hang it on the wall



laptop case with my most favorite fabric ever





iPad cases- these were scooped up out of our etsy shop almost as soon as they were listed!  yea!

these cute dog collars almost make me wish I had a dog!

So even though we have been working on a lot of logistical things behind the scenes here at FlyChicks, we're still managing to remain crafty and productive (lots of knitting going on too!).  Hope you all are enjoying the new year- we're ready for Spring!  Can you tell by the purse above with the fun, bright graphics?

New Items in Shop and "About Us"



After a somewhat stressful week of photo-editing and mini-meltdowns, new items are now in our shop.  Some of these items have made an appearance on the blog before, and some may be brand new to you.  Also, there are three that I couldn't upload pictures for because, well, I'm really not sure why, but Hannah is going to get those three up and running in the next few days.  So check now, and check back in a few days if you like.





 There's a pretty big gift giving holiday coming up if you haven't noticed; we're running a FREE SHIPPING special through the end of December for all those who may need some last minute gift ideas. 


Also, we had a close, long-time friend and very talented gal write our About Us page.  Check that out, too, if you want to know more about FlyChicks and the girls behind it!  She put that together as part of the Press Kit we will be sending out in the new year.


We're also working with an extremely talented web-designer who is crafting up a brand spankin' new website for us.  We're really excited for the launch of that (look for it at the beginning of the next year) and can't wait to become a real business.  Hannah has been busy catching up on custom orders and designing new laptop covers.  I don't know how we're ever going to focus; there are always so many great ideas running around in our heads!


Hope your Holiday season is going well!

Etsy Outfit

Okay, since we're in the business of handmade, after my last post I started thinking about a challenge for myself: to create a similar look all with items from Etsy!  Here's what I came up with...

Info on where to get the above items (starting from upper right and going clockwise):
-Scarf by House of Mofei
-Ring by  Ring Ring Ring
-Earrings by Rio Rita
-Boots (pattern) by Flower Girl Design
-Wrap Top by Studio Shihar
-Leggings with foldover skirt by Sandmaiden

Whaddya' think?  You can put together your own Etsy Treasuries and make wishlists for the upcoming holidays...

AfterthoughtAfter posting this, I decided to add up the two outfits to compare- mind you I didn't even look at prices when putting either of these two posts together  (it's supposed to be a dream wishlist!) and here's the damage:
Polyvore outfit: $969
Etsy outfit: $283

Who says buying handmade has to cost more???

Another Shop Update

Hannah is unstoppable!  More goodies in the shop now; go here and find something you like.

She's mastered the "boxy" cosmetic bags and they are even lined with a clear plastic (except one) so that if your make up spills, it won't ruin the interior!  Cute coordinating fabric+boxy design= SUPERFLY






Go!  Shop!  Now!
