WOOOOOO HOOOOOO MAMA’S!!!!!
I got an unexpected call yesterday when I was out of town!! It was the seamstress and he told me that he would be delivering me some Himmel’s today!! I have six of the customs right now and he will be bringing more tomorrow!! He has promised me that ALL will be done and delivered by WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok so I have had a very long weekend and I have not done anything with the carriers except give them each an inspection and all look AMAZING!! I will get to ironing them and taking pics tomorrow.
Here are the names of the custom’s I have in my possession so far… Tika, Ru-Jen, Andrea, Tiffany, Ashley, and Jane.
Have a wonderful night!!

Hi everyone,
I went to the sewing house yesterday. The main sewing area is still closed but things are moving at a modified pace. I was not able to take any Himmel’s home with me but they have promised me that they will be done next Friday. The main seamstress has taken his sewing machines home with him so he is working from home until the main area is back open. This means that only one person is making the Himmel’s right now and that is the reason for the slowness however the upside is that he lives about 10 minuets from my house so I am going to see if I can pick up the HImmel’s individually as they are completed to get them out faster
I feel very confident about this update
I will be going out of town this morning for the weekend (family visit). I will be back to work and answering e-mail on Monday. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks, Amy
I did not hear back from the sewing house today so I left another message saying that I will be there tomorrow morning.
I have been following the thread on TBW. I want to clarify what direction my business is going in.
When I announced that I was closing my website on August 18th I had every intention of never selling retail again. I had already hired the sewing house and they had promised me up to 25 Himmel’s every 10 business days. Obviously this has not happened or even come close to happening. My business is switching over to wholesale only. The only reason I have started sewing again myself and posting up custom spots that I myself will make is because I am at a complete standstill and cannot take on any other orders to be made at the sewing house until the ones that they already have are done. I need to come up with money for bill’s so we doing lose our van or have our electric turned off. I know that what I am doing is upsetting some people and I am so very sorry. I am not trying to do anything underhanded or playing any games.
I promise I will have a better update tomorrow. If they cannot guarentee me them with-in 1 week I will take them home with me and finish them myself.

I called the owner today and an employee took a message. I didn’t get a return call so I sent an e-mail. Usually he responds pretty quickly so if I don’t have a call or response by 11 am I will call again. I have decided to take a drive out there Thursday morning reguardless because I want to take a look at what is going on with the carriers myself and see what I can take home with me either completed or that I can complete myself. I will keep you all posted!!
Have a good night

Hi everyone,
I just read through the post on TBW and I want to apologise for not posting an update sooner. I wanted to come back here with pics of Himmel’s and not another “it’s going to be a little longer update”. I talked to the owner of the sewing house today and I am so frusterated. They are not done yet. I am waiting to hear back from him tomorrow to find out exactly how much more work they need because at this point I am ready to pick them up and finish them myself. I am at a complete standstill and to be very honest I am completly broke and that is why I have made some instock carriers and posted some really cheap custom spots because if I don’t make some money soon my van will be repossessed and my electric will be shut off. Believe me I know posting instocks and custom spots before the already ordered carriers ship is in bad taste but I honeslty have no other choice.
I can tell you that they are ALL started. I have seen them in progress so I know that each and every one is being made. I will update again tomorrow to let you all know what he says after I speak with him.
Again, I am so very sorry for the delay!!

Hey Mama’s, I just wanted to address the tag situation. Some of the Himmel’s that recently went out went out tagless. I took all of my tags to the sewing house and only kept 10 tags at home since I am going to have the sewing house sew them on from now on. Well, Elle managed to spill watercolor paint on most of the tags and I had to throw them out. I had already sewn them on a few of the Himmel’s (Emy’s, Tiffany’s, Amanda’s, and Julie’s) but the rest went out tagless. If there is any problem with re-sale or if anyone wants me to verify upon selling that the carrier is actually a Himmel I will be happy to do so. I am very sorry for this inconvience!!
On another note, I will be going to the sewing house tomorrow or Tuesday (going to call them first thing in the morning) and hopefully I will be able to pick up the last of the Himmel’s!! I will keep you all posted! I really appreciate your patience, because I am certainly running out of patience over here with the whole re-modeling situation!!
Amy
I just wanted to post an update on the last of the customs. The sewing house remodeling is still an ongoing process. Something went wrong with the main manufacturing room and it is temporarily unable to be used until they fix something with the support beams and the inspector clears it. So they are using a very small room right now and things are going slow. They are promising me just a few more days. I am sorry for the additional delay but I promise that they will all be very much worth the wait!!
Have a good night Mama’s!!
