Re-opening

Hello gang!
I have been doing a lot of soul searching and thinking the past few weeks about a re-opening date.
I want to enjoy the summer with my kiddos and we have several trips planned over the course of the summer.
So I am anticipating a reopening date the week of Labor Day.
That being said, I won't leave you without new Skidz items! I will be making items as I am able and placing them in a "ready to ship" album. They will be a first come, first served basis.
This does not affect any previous orders!

Out of town notice

SWC will have family in town

AND be on a trip later this month.

I will have limited time and access to answer emails and questions from

June 16th-July 1st.

I try to get a response back within 48 hours but the time might be extended during this family visiting time.

Thanks for your understanding and patience!

I do not have a grand re-opening date yet....I will let you know soon!

We are dealing with some health issues that my newborn has so it will depend on how she responds to treatment. Thanks!!

Re-opening

Hello SWC fans!

I have had several requests for orders & questions regarding maternity leave so I decided to post! (I will try to update the website as well later today.)

I will be returning from maternity leave mid to late summer. I will only be accepting a limited amount of custom orders at a time. I want to be able not only to give YOUR order my full attention BUT also my family all of my attention too!

I will post when I have the max quota of orders and then when ordering is re-opened after I have completed the orders.

All custom orders must be paid for in full in advance now.

I have 3 orders from pre-maternity leave (thank-you for being so flexible!!)

and

I have 2 pre-orders right now.

That is the current information in regards to status updates.

Please remember....

if you have sent me an email and have NOT received a contact back in 48 hours that I have not received your message!

As always, I am grateful that you have chosen SWC to do business with and I look forward to serving you in the upcoming months!

100th day of school oops....

This week was my daughter's 100th day of kindergarten. I was swept up in the fun of it & wanted to make her something special for the occasion. (One of the downsides of sewing as your home based business is that your kids seem to get shorted on your talent!)
I was 30,000+ stitches in AND so close to being done when I had stepped away to work on a customers quilt. I was gone for 5 minutes and this is what happened......
So very frustrating for an embroidery project when you sew your project together then have to destroy it to get it out of the machine.
I am hoping for easier sewing the rest of the week!

Pictures...

Don't forget.....

if you have SWC pictures to post them on facebook

www.facebook.com/skidzwifecreations

or send them to me at

skidzwifecreations1@yahoo.com

I know that there should be quite a few homecoming pictures from the past few days!! (So when you come up for air make sure to share them!!)

Thanks :)

Happy Birthday Mr. Skidz

Happy  35th Birthday to the man who puts the "Skidz" in Skidz Wife Creations!

Thank-you for all the love and support you have given me and SWC in the last year and a half of business!

I couldn't ask for a better husband or partner!

For all you cloth diapering mama's....

Although I am not a cloth diapering mama, I am going to try to switch to cloth wipes for our third and final child.

I am excited to offer these cloth wipes to SWC customers starting this summer when we return from maternity leave.

What is a cloth wipe you ask?

A cloth wipe is......

Cloth wipes are the sensible and cost-effective alternative to disposable wipes. They also work phenomenally better at cleaning your little one’s bum, messy hands, and faces too! Simply toss the soiled wipes along with the diaper into your diaper pail or wet bag until laundry day.

Cloth wipes can be used a variety of ways, the most common recommendation are:


•Store them wet and ready-to-go in a wipe warmer (or a plastic container)


•Store them dry, then wet them as needed (use a spray bottle, pump pot, or run the wipes under the faucet)


Based on a modest estimation, you can save a minimum of $100 a year by using cloth wipes rather than disposable wipes!


Cloth wipes are washable and reusable many times. They have many different uses too. You can have a pile designated for wiping up little noses and a pile in the kitchen towel drawer for cleaning our kids up after dinner.
They can also be thrown in a wet bag for portable use on boogie little noses & sticky hands on the go!



If you are going to cloth diaper your baby, cloth baby wipes are absolutely essential. Cloth wipes are more convenient when you are cloth diapering, are healthier for your baby, save money and cut down on landfill waste.



There are two ways to use cloth wipes, the dry method and the wet method. To use the dry method, you'll put your wipe solution (or water) in a small spray bottle. When needed, spray your baby's bottom and use a dry wipe to wipe clean. This is also the method we recommend for your diaper bag. To use the dry method, you'll need wipe solution (we recommend Kissaluvs Diaper Lotion Potion) and a stack of wipes.


To use the wet method, you'll make your own wipe solution in a small bowl, plunge your wipes into the bowl and store them in a wipe warmer. This ensures that you'll always have warm wipes ready for the next diaper change. To use this system, you'll need a wipe warmer, wipe solution concentrate and a stack of wipes.


If you are cloth diapering full-time, we recommend purchasing 2-3 dozen wipes.

When your baby is born, hospitals recommend that you use plain water to wipe your baby's skin because disposable baby wipes can be harsh on tender new skin. If your baby has a rash, disposable baby wipes can actually make the skin more irritated!

Cloth wipes will be available Summer 2012.

They will be 4x8 and 8x8.

Tentative pricing will be $2.00 each or I will quote your price on your specific number if ordering in bulk!

Stay tuned as I am looking up recipes for making your own wipe solution!

Something old & something new....

Just a reminder....

Skidz Wife Creations is closed for new orders at this time due to maternity complications.

Thank-you so much for referring me to your friends and for returning for 2nd & 3rd orders. I so appreciate it! I hope that when I come off of maternity leave that I can continue to serve you and your family!

After much research, I will be adding Mylar embroidery upon my return. (I am hoping to add quite a few new items to the line!)

If you would like to check it out, please look at the designs that I have already purchased....

For those of you non-facebookers.....

I have also purchased several new regular embroidery designs that I am looking forward to using! You can find those at

Customer Input

Hello all!

I am looking for some input on what you would like me to introduce to our SWC line.

I have a few items on the list for my maternity leave already....

• Bag tags
• Sleep sacks
• DSLR camera strap covers
• Photo wall hangings
• Dance bags

What I am wanting to know if what you would like to see available for purchase.

I am currently on early maternity leave due to pregnancy complications so I anticipate re-opening late this summer BUT in the meantime I need some new projects too!

Please email me at

skidzwifecreations1@yahoo.com

or post on Facebook

www.facebook.com/skidzwifecreations

with your suggestions.

As always, your help and ideas are much appreciated!!

Update of sorts

Just wanted to touch base with y'all who are still waiting on orders & those who are asking about mine & the baby's health,

I am currently only able to work 1/2 a day without severe hip/back pain & Braxton-Hicks contractions.

This is 1/2 a day of my normal household duties, child-rearing, & the business. To say that my sewing has been slowed down is a tremendous understatement.

I so appreciate your time and patience with the current status!

As usual, I have been trying to keep you updated via email as I get to your orders. Please don't hesitate to email me with any questions!

I have whittled down the list to only 11 more orders!

I am extremely grateful and blessed that they seems to be going smoothly thus far!

I will keep y'all posted as I go!

Order Closing

Earlier today, I posted on Facebook our date for order closing. It will be on

Saturday, January 7, 2012.

All orders that have been finalized by this point will be completed but I will not take any more until I come back from maternity leave.

I have been emailing most of the morning to anyone who contacted me to ask about orders so if you don't see a message in your inbox from me, please contact me at your earliest conveinence

skidzwifecreations1@yahoo.com

Again, I appreciate all the support that y'all have given me. The baby is fine and again it is just some issues with me that have to be taken care of! I will keep you posted as it goes along! Also, when my maternity leave will be done!

I wanted to share this little blurb to close this blog entry from a good friend of mine, Leelee. Just because it is very fitting!

Skidz Wife Creations is a one person shop. I depend completely on your sales to support this business and all sales are seriously appreciated, from the bottom of my ♥ . I know you work hard for your money and I do my best to give you the best from me as well. My items are limited in volume, but I hope the wait is worth it. I wish I could sew faster & produce more for each and everyone of you. I do hope that if you purchase an item it meets all of your expectations. Thank you all for your support in 2011. I hope you stick around for 2012 and have a safe and Happy New Year...............
