Apologies!

I'm sorry! I still haven't finished up those new pieces yet--OR found my patterns that I wanted to share with y'all.  It seems like the universe has something out for me lately. If I'm not sick, someone else in the family is!  And we're still fighting my three-and-a-half year old for potty training (we're almost out of diapers; if she's not on the pot by then, well, she's outta luck because we can't buy anymore).
And then Saturday at work (I posted this on facebook and twitter), I had a pregnancy brain moment.  I'd started brewing decaf... about half way through the pot, I forgot that I'd just started it and didn't seem to see the stream of boiling liquid. I tried to dump the coffee grounds. Instead I burned my hand pretty good.  [BY THE WAY, did you know that yellow mustard helps with burns? I didn't, but everyone else at McDonald's did!  and it really does help.]  I can use it now--it still hurts to grip my pliers, so I won't be doing jewelry for a few more days, but I can crochet now!
My husband has a sinus infection and his nose won't quit bleeding.  We spent 3 hours at the doctor's office today--I had an OB appointment to check on our little boy and we were trying to get him seen by a physician's assistant (spent half hour in waiting room, hour in the room waiting for the doc, half hour in check up, half hour waiting for his appointment, half hour in room with the p.a.)--a lot of the issue today was their system kept crashing. But we're always waiting an hour or more for my doctor.  It's that way no matter who I'm seeing.  But, back to the hubs. So he's pretty worthless right now.  No matter what pain killer he uses, it quits after about two hours. Ibuprofen does nothing for him, acetaminophen just dulls the pain, Alleve took the pain away completely--but then came back full force after a few hours.. My poor hubby.  I wish I could do something to take away the pain.... besides, you know, knocking him out.  Really don't want to add a concussion to his already long list of ailments.
Feel free to look around my facebook page. There are a lot of really awesome shops with giveaways going on--and ALL of them have really awesome items!  I love each and every one of them!  I still need to update my link list here on the blog. But, until then, check out facebook! And, as always, my shop at storenvy is open  (I still need to get kypress designs fixed and running again.)
If you have any questions or any suggestions, feel free to e-mail me at kypressdesigns@gmail.com !  I hope you are all having a wonderful year so far!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful evening and I pray that 2012 is better for us ALL!

I'm going to keep this short since I waited until 9:46pm to even START this post.  I'm working on getting a lot of inventory stocked up and organizing my work space a bit better (I'll eventually post photos...I'm just rather embarrassed by it).  Life can be a bit hectic, as you all know!  I will also have a few sales going on soon too!  Keep an eye out for new products in the VERY near future!

(and don't forget to go check out my lovely crafty friends that make things that I don't and/or make things even cooler than mine!)

BLACK FRIDAY + SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY + CYBER MONDAY!!!

Alright folks! Just want to let you know I've got one last sale before I close for the year (don't worry, i'll post things, and keep you updated, and will be up an running in January).

http://www.kypressdesigns.com  has pretty much everything on sale.  Different discounts, different items, and more customization options!

http://kypressdesigns.storenvy.com use promo code HOLIDAYS2011 to get 40% off your purchase there!

AND there is a giveaway on the fanpage.  A Kypress Swirls necklace and earring set in navy.  You don't want to miss that! It's set to end the end of Cyber Monday.  Go check it out!  http://www.facebook.com/kypressdesigns

As always, e-mail me at kypressdesigns[at]gmail[dot]com to negotiate custom orders that I don't have listed. OR I have one trade spot open!  If you'd like to do a trade if you have something you think I might like (boutique, photography, business items), don't hesitate to e-mail me.  You never know, I'll probably accept!

Last Chance

I already posted on the facebook fanpage, but I wanted to post a blog as well.

I have thought long and hard about the holidays coming up, the stressful events of finding a last minute gift for family members if I don't have time to create one, and THAT made the decision for me.  NOVEMBER 20th is the last day I will accept custom orders.  I will figure out something with the stores--basically, I'll have to put the items on hiatus or "hide them".  I will put up ready-to-ship items throughout December until the new year, but NO custom orders.

Work at the restaurant has been super stressful lately, and that is taking a toll on this pregnancy.  Add in being mom to a three year old red head (YES, the myth is true about redheads) and wife to a gamer, and I have no energy.  I'm in the second trimester! What happened to the promised energy?!

I apologize for any inconveniences... Keep in mind, though, if you e-mail me and plead enough, I will probably cave and do a custom order for you.   I hope everyone is safe and healthy!

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALE!!!!!

SO I'm having a sale (in case you didn't notice the title...) and everything's on sale! 24% off (at least) on http://www.kypressdesigns.com however there are some glitches.  The webpage won't let me adjust the options on the sales.  So, the following items, if you choose anything that subtracts from the price, please e-mail me your order instead of using the webpage. Otherwise I will be refunding your money and sending you a message about your order with the new cost.

• Kypress BABY Layette set
• "Swirl set" is the entire set; "Kypress" has not been adjusted and is listed at the original prices with the differences for buying them not as a set.
• Animal hats--anything smaller than "Adult" needs to be messaged.  Again, the differences in cost of sizes won't adjust according to the sale.

For this sale, I will accept Money Order as well as my normal Paypal method.
And for super unique orders (or any questions) e-mail me at kypressdesigns [at] gmail [dot] com.  I hope y'all take advantage of this sale; I'll probably have it going on for a while. But prices will still be adjusted to higher prices after the first of the year--that whole cost of materials and being told I'm under-pricing my labor (by the husband).

Don't forget to send your friends to the fan page on Facebook too!
