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! 

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!

Facebook Fan Page coming soon...

Teaser!

Hello!  As the weather has cooled a bit over the past couple of days, Hannah and I stayed busy making things for the shop...  Here is just a small sample of what will be available next week on our Etsy site:

key fobs

cosmetic bags

Superfly handbag with magnetic snap closure and 2 inside pockets

(ok, this one is actually spoken for, but we can do custom orders, so if you see something you like that happens to have sold already, just leave us a commet or email and we can get a similar one out to you!)

Hope you all like, and thanks for your patience as we crank out some new stuff!

Happy Mother's Day!

Some more goodies

For some reason, Hannah was taking pictures of her earliest stuff with her computer webcam, but I wanted to post pics of them.  So I'm just thinkin' we'll laugh at these one day:)  But here they are, Hannah's first handbags:

I have already talked to Hannah about using a REAL camera; she IS a photographer after all!  So expect better pics in the future...

Some of our Goodies

First pillow cover, bag, and bolster pillow

Meditation pillow

(anyone have any tips on how to make it so that the filling doesn't get all lumpy???)

Zippered make-up bag with lining

Wallet/Checkbook cover

Key fobs

Headbands

Linen-lined purse

Linen-topped purse

Just a smattering of wonderful goods; most of these are our beginning products and are just for our own personal use until we get a little more comfortable with the process.  Hope you enjoy and we will keep 'em coming!
