Supposedly the dashboard organization is better. What that means, I do not know. But I trust her... or rather, I have no choice.<br /><br />I did notice it has a cool navigation strip at the top, and now we can reply individually to your comments! Sidenote--we do read each and every one of your comments. We just haven't found an effective way to reply to them--but now we have, so yay!<br /><br />This blog and everything here will remain, but no updates after this one at this location!<br /><br />So make sure to book mark <a href="http://boojiboo.wordpress.com/">the new blog</a>! All the posts and comments on this blog have also been transferred/copied to the new one.<br /><a href="http://boojiboo.wordpress.com/"><br />http://boojiboo.wordpress.com</a><br /><br />*note, it is BOOJIBOO.wordpress.com, no "ILOVE" in the front!<br /><br />-Boojiboo :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136380039169753907.post-6763657994298541942009-08-03T15:04:00.000-07:002009-08-03T15:41:19.128-07:00Screenprinting experience!This weekend was certainly an eventful one!<br /><br />We needed some totes that our customers could use over and over again, compared to the plastic ones we're used to handing out at shows. So we decided to make some simple totes!<br /><br />My son helped screen print the images, and my daughters will be sewing up the bags. We can proudly say we made all of them ourselves, from start to finish!<br /><br />Here we have all the pieces cut out... took us all night!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ViItW4cuKjE/SndiMD8s5JI/AAAAAAAAAMk/ZOYtWm1Dyc8/s1600-h/IMG_8136.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ViItW4cuKjE/SndiMD8s5JI/AAAAAAAAAMk/ZOYtWm1Dyc8/s320/IMG_8136.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365865440393094290" border="0" /></a>Prepping the screens/alignment...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ViItW4cuKjE/SndgbV0umXI/AAAAAAAAAMM/JPDwxWnnsM8/s1600-h/IMG_8138.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ViItW4cuKjE/SndgbV0umXI/AAAAAAAAAMM/JPDwxWnnsM8/s320/IMG_8138.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365863503866272114" border="0" /></a>And the printing begins!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ViItW4cuKjE/Sndgagjvm_I/AAAAAAAAAL0/gh8S2GPiLig/s1600-h/IMG_8149.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ViItW4cuKjE/Sndgagjvm_I/AAAAAAAAAL0/gh8S2GPiLig/s320/IMG_8149.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365863489567955954" border="0" /></a>At first we laid the pieces out on the table to dry, as the lines that ran across the ceiling weren't hung up yet...we ran out of room though, so we were all scrambling around like chickens with our heads cut off.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ViItW4cuKjE/SndiLgPAIvI/AAAAAAAAAMU/2Z3K8X4nAHk/s1600-h/5855_1179870183105_1418693202_30503648_8192199_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ViItW4cuKjE/SndiLgPAIvI/AAAAAAAAAMU/2Z3K8X4nAHk/s320/5855_1179870183105_1418693202_30503648_8192199_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365865430806176498" border="0" /></a>Here's a picture from under the clothes lines--Much better!

It's very unlike the typical boojiboo apron as it has a FLAT bib. It has a ruffle around the bottom of the skirt and even on the pocket!<br /><br />The apron itself is a few inches smaller than our other aprons.<br /><br />We might tweak it a bit, but so far this is what we got! This is the prototype we settled with, we have another one with a scalloped edge and a few others where the bib has a different shape.<br /><br />What do you think?<br />-boojiboo :)<br /><br />PS: Become a fan on facebook! Spread the boojiboo-goodness :D<br /> <script src="http://static.ak.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php/en_US" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">FB.init("174750899cd6a907852dbb2c31948efe");</script><fb:fan profile_id="108720398645" stream="" connections="" width="300"></fb:fan><div style="font-size:8px; padding-left:10px"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Boojiboo/108720398645">Boojiboo</a> on Facebook</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136380039169753907.post-43104409964314829212009-07-25T18:42:00.000-07:002009-07-25T19:01:44.600-07:00Random Bits of Lovely Information<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3474/3273889056_8aff9d46ce.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 449px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3474/3273889056_8aff9d46ce.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a>We made it to the front page of etsy!

In it was a beyond-cute toy pattern--a deer! I had some spare time and decided to make one.<br /><br />I made it with a scrap bandanna and some felt. It was not fun to sew, and took much longer than expected. Turning the legs and neck inside out was a real pain since they were so skinny... But I am quite pleased with it!<br /><br />I added bows to each ear and eventually added a big one to the neck. Sadly, I've misplaced my button jar so for now, she shall remain eyeless.<br /><br />The book advises you to put metal wire in the feet--being the rebel i am, I didn't... and now her legs are too weak to support her body, thanks to the massive un-proportionate head. I had to use a metal ring to hold the legs together, allowing her to stand up straight on her own. Another day I'll have to do some 'surgery' and add wire to the legs.<br /><br />I named her Bitsy!<br /><br />Has anyone taken a stab at these japanese felt/vinyl toys? Any suggestions?<br /><br />-boojiboo :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136380039169753907.post-24015048296328949802009-07-12T21:40:00.001-07:002009-07-12T21:48:03.528-07:00AssociationHello!<br /><br />I would just like to address the many questions we received about our associations on etsy.<br /><br />Would just like to confirm quickly that we are NOT associated with ANY OTHER apron seller on ETSY. As similar as the apron designs may look, we DO NOT sell our patterns (EVER).<br /><br />The only stores we are associated with are <a href="http://BOOJIBOO.ETSY.COM">boojiboo</a>, <a href="http://boojibootique.etsy.com">boojibootique</a>, <a href="http://thesnootypoodle.etsy.com">thesnootypoodle</a>, and <a href="http://izznit.etsy.com">izznit</a>.<br /><br />Thanks, hope you had an exciting weekend!<br />-boojiboo :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136380039169753907.post-26434524898724023492009-07-10T18:56:00.000-07:002009-07-10T23:54:26.195-07:00Thank you!Totally forgot it was Boojiboo's etsy birthday yesterday. Can't believe it's already been three years since we've joined, I'm soo glad we did!<br /><br />Thanks for those of you who commented on our post that asked for feedback/advice, we really appreciate the time and effort some of you put into your answers. Very good points were brought up and we will definitely try to put some of those into effect.<br /><br />An 'about me' page will be put up soon, and we will try to post about new styles/custom orders (if I remember, sometimes everything goes by so quickly!)<br /><br />What threw us off about our 'casualness' were the e-mails/replies we sometimes received. No "hello's" or "thanks", we would just wonder if they thought we were crazy? Perhaps unprofessional for responding in such a manner?<br /><br />As for pictures, there is really nowhere in our house with good lighting, and sadly photo shopping all our pictures would be too time consuming. When I get the chance, I 'borrow' a friend's studio, but that's rare. I was just curious as to how people felt about the apron backgrounds, I wasn't sure if it was a major/minor factor in a few people's decisions or if the majority/minority liked the kitchen setting. We'll keep it for now, but I suppose I will have to spend a little more time fixing those pictures to make sure they are true to color.<br /><br />Giveaways, we love them! It makes us so happy when our customers tell us they 'love their apron' or how 'cute' it makes them feel, as corny as that sounds. And who doesn't love free things?<br /><br />Lastly, our babies! We do try and keep our dogs away from the aprons as much as possible. There are a few pictures where our dogs are seen next to the aprons, but we only take apron pictures once, meaning only one apron was 'exposed' to our dogs so directly. Before we ship each apron, they are ironed, 'cleaned', and then folded and stored in a container, so really aprons aren't exposed to the dogs as much as one would think.<br /><br />Anyway, onto the winner! We have decided that the winner is <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tricia Chaves</span>! Thank you so much for providing such wonderful advice, especially about giveaways and such. Your idea with blogging about related kitchen ideas was also a great one! Please e-mail me your address at boojiboovc@aol.com :)<br /><br />A twist! Since we really appreciate all the time you others took to answer our questions, it would be our pleasure to give you a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5668368&section_id=5926107">mini wallet/coin purse of your choice</a>! Please e-mail me your preference and I'll ship it out to you ASAP! (item must be in stock at the time I am notified, cannot be from our 'sold items'). In the e-mail please provide your comment number and/or name. Thanks!!!<br /><br />Happy Friday!<br />-boojiboo :)<br /><br />PS: I only see 11 comments, so any comments after the 11 will NOT be taken into consideration.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136380039169753907.post-30763585571451288682009-07-04T22:15:00.000-07:002009-07-04T23:11:46.496-07:00Happy 4th, Need Your Input, and a Free Clutch!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ViItW4cuKjE/SlA8Qt9gkrI/AAAAAAAAAKU/9RjAuksbEMk/s1600-h/IMG_0612.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ViItW4cuKjE/SlA8Qt9gkrI/AAAAAAAAAKU/9RjAuksbEMk/s320/IMG_0612.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354846214856676018" border="0" /></a><br />Helllllooooo!<br /><br />Hope your 4th of July was safe and beautiful!<br /><br />We finally have an <a href="http://iloveboojiboo.blogspot.com/2009/04/faqs-frequently-asked-questions.html">FAQ</a> page up!

The photo uploader isn't working and hasn't been for a while. The server times out everytime I try to upload pics...will attempt to upload some later. Anyway, the page has a nifty events calendar on the side, so if you want to know when our next show is, take a look!<br /><br />We also decided that our twitter and fb page will be to alert you of new blog posts/giveaways ONLY... maybe a tweet here and then about a new fabric. Only newsworthy stuff. Not sure many of you would be interested in hearing what I ate for lunch. (Perhaps I'm the only tweeter out there who is actually scared of boring my 'followers').<br /><br />We're trying to line up some giveaways for you guys. We've had so many offers-- Boojiboo is very flattered, we really do appreciate your interest in us. Wish we could accept them all!<br /><br />Other than the giveaways, the head cheese of Boojiboo has been sewing up a storm. The apron stock has been quite pathetic as of late, and the next craft show/festival is coming up in late August! It's the <a href="http://www.harvestfestival.com/visitors/index.aspx">Harvest Festival</a> in Las Vegas!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ViItW4cuKjE/Sj9DfS4NGHI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/xDWCdxfnPIg/s1600-h/las-vegas-skyline.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ViItW4cuKjE/Sj9DfS4NGHI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/xDWCdxfnPIg/s320/las-vegas-skyline.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350069087262021746" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">picture from visitingdc.com</span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br />An FAQ page will be put together soon as well.
