Custom Items Update

Hi guys! I just wanted to give everyone a quick update regarding custom orders. Due to the high volume of orders I've been receiving and the upcoming holiday season, I will not be taking any new custom item requests until mid January 2012. This includes wedding orders of all kinds. If you sent me a request before 08/04/2011 and confirmed that you were ok with the time frame/price you have been added to the waiting list and will be receiving your custom item(s) by September 15, 2011. I apologize to everyone who has sent me requests over the last week and to anyone who was planning to order custom items for Christmas gifts. Unfortunately I am only one person and there are only so many hours in a day:(

Yay We're open!

The Sleepy Robot 13 Shop has re-opened. I have made a good size dent in the orders received while I was out of town. I should have all pending orders shipped by the end of the week (hopefully, the weather has been horrible where I live the last few days). Thank you all for being so patient. Can't wait until the craziness of the holidays is over so I can get to work on creating some new products!

Shop Temporarily Closing

The Sleepy Robot 13 Etsy shop will be CLOSED starting tomorrow morning (12/1/2010) through the weekend while I try to catch up on the orders received while I was out of town. If I make a decent size dent in my current orders I will re-open sooner. I apologize to everyone hoping to place Christmas orders this weekend.

Christmas Custom Orders

I know it's crazy to be talking about Christmas already, but over the last 2 weeks I've been getting a lot of custom order requests for Christmas gifts. Usually customs take me about a week to a week and a half to finish. I want to make sure everyone gets the customs they want to give as gifts and make sure I am also able to complete all of my regular orders during the Christmas season. Therefore there will be a cutoff date of November 6th for ALL custom orders. If you are interested in a custom item you MUST have it submitted to me by Nov. 6, 2010. My goal is to have all customs completed and shipped before I leave for Designer Con in CA on November 18th. Custom order requests can be sent by sending me a convo on Etsy or emailing me directly at lisastarchild@yahoo.com

While we're on the subject of Christmas I also want to mention that the cutoff date for Christmas orders this year will be Dec. 13th for domestic orders and December 3rd for international orders. You can still place Christmas orders after these dates, but I cannot guarantee that they will reach you in time for X-mas. If you place a late Christmas order you do have the option of contacting me for a faster shipping method. To all international customers, for reasons unknown to me there has been a delay involving customs/transit stations that are causing extended delays to customers in Canada and Australia(these are the only ones I'm aware of so far). Please take this into account when placing orders for Christmas gifts.

Blue & Gold Golden Ticket Wedding Cake Toppers

I recently made custom wedding cake toppers for Mrs. Mollie Ruth using the color theme of their wedding as well as the golden ticket design of their invitations. She was kind enough to send me a few photos of their cake and I wanted to share them with you!

A Few New Robots

I had a chance this weekend to work on a couple of new robot designs including a few customs. This will probably be the last new batch of robots for a little while. I currently need to make 80-120 robots for an event as well as two sets of custom robot wedding cake toppers, as well as a few other custom orders. Enjoy!

Finally Some Booth Pics!

I have forgotten to take pictures at almost all my recent shows(I received a few emails recently reminding me of this!)I finally remembered this time! Sorry no pics of me in my booth ): But you don't want to see me anyways lol! The following pics are from the "Art Is Alive" in North Canton, Ohio this past Weekend. Friday was a looooooong day. I got up at 6am to finish up last minute items and parts of my display. The show didn't start until 5 but I had to be set up by 3. I got to there at around 1 and was done setting up by 4:15 (I would have been faster but I had a mishap with my table, I really need to get a new one!) I had a lot more space than I was intending (as I had a corner spot) I should have brought a 2nd smaller table so I could have spread my items out more, but it all still worked out ok. The show didn't end until 11pm. There were a lot of big crowds so by 11 I was exhausted! I finished covering up my table and left around 11:30. I got home about 12:15, but it wasn't bed time yet! I still had 3 custom orders people had placed during the show to complete that they were pick up the next day during the 2nd part of the show. I finally went to bed around 2:45 in the morning, but it wasn't the best sleep due to butters snoring all night. I got up around 6:00am the next day to finish painting and glazing my custom orders (I usually don't do much painting, but someone requested a robot wearing a Lebron James jersey. I had to paint on the name as well as the numbers. I left for the show at around 9:45. The show didn't start until 11 this day but I wanted to be a little early so I could re-set up what I had to take down to cover up my table and to get coffee. Oh sweet, sweet coffee! All in all it was a great show and there were some amazing artists there. I can't wait until next year!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

So I have craft shows lined up 3 weekends in a row, I'm releasing my new "Mr. & Mrs. Zombie Toast" set this week and I've got tons of customs to finish! At this point I wish I had an extra set of hands and on top of all this I have a killer tooth ache! I can't complain too much, I love doing shows! I really like meeting other crafters and seeing the look on peoples faces when they see my figures for the first time. Last week was the Cirque Imaginaire show. Great turn out for their 1st show, but we were literally packed in there like sardines! I actually had to crawl under the table to get into my booth because the tables were set up end to end. I think the planning could have been a little better in regards to set up. This weekend I have the Cleveland Craft Correlation show. This is a fun show. it is monthly and all the other vendors are awesome! Next weekend I have the 2 day "Art is Alive" show. I am really looking forward to this show. I'm also hoping to unveil a new display set up. I will try to remember to take pictures of my booth. I have forgotten the last few shows.

Aside from shows i have been working on a lot of new figures, mostly robots, but I hope to get a few new monsters done this week too. Also I just ordered a few Munnys this week to customize. I should have photos of those up later in the week as well. Below you can find pics of my latest figures. Enjoy!
