Well, I have been terribly lax on my blogging this summer, and I can't imagine I will get all that much better during my final year of University, but I am going to start again. And perhaps I will get a few posts done before life gets away from me again!
The grant has been moving forward, and I am starting to get to my new phase. I have had wonderful feedback on my bamboo fabrics, and just went and picked up my large shipment today.
However, there was a glitch. The bamboo supplier lost their supplier who makes the bamboo satin. Literally. They are apparently lost somewhere in India. This, of course, is problematic, since I now have no supplier for my satin eye pillow material. Of course, I have been frantically combing the web, searching for somewhere new, but have found nothing this side of the Atlantic ocean. So switching to new materials for those will have to wait. If anyone knows of bamboo suppliers in North America, I would love to hear from you!
On the positive side, the bamboo fleeces and velours are amazing, and I love heating one up (yes, even on the warm summer evenings!) to go to sleep, and I find myself waking up hours later, with the heat still retained, and the stress I carry in my shoulders from chasing a two-and-a-half year old all day, having slipped away.
We will soon be blowing out the rest of our merchandise to bring in the bamboo materials for our wonderful "green" lavender heating pads. Which in the summer we also point out are great for sticking in the freezer to cool down on hot summer nights as well.
Well, motherhood calls, but watch for my next post on our new bath salts!
