Oh Bother!

So the other day as I was working on setting up a hang tag for our goods I got some strange error message. I thought nothing of it and went about my work but when I go to put my disk with all of the work I have done over the past few months back into the computer..... It was all blank!
I lost everything I have done for BTM! Every thing! I have never had that happen before, were a disk erases its self.... Oh well, now I get to redo everything and maybe even try to make it better. Though it is never the same. Maybe I will make a few new things instead. It is hard to get back into doing the work when things like this happen. So now I have to find the motivation to get back on it.

On another note, all of the label info has been turned into the manufacture and now I am just waiting to get that back. Once we have the labels we can start finishing some of the kids that Meg. has cut out. All we are doing is waiting for the labels. Oh ya, and we can sew the labels into the tee shirt samples that we have as well.

Photo shoot

So it has been a while since I have updated this blog. But a lot has happened!
Lets see, we got our first tee shirts back from the printers.



On May 13th we did a small little photo shoot with my best friend Jon Glover, who is an awesome foto taker and maker! He has been my foto friend for a long time and he keeps getting better all the time.
here are a few more pics from the shoot.
Niro and Samy play'n around

All of the kids pose'n for a shot.
We set up our web site, well we at least registered it and have a "coming soon" page up. (thank you Jon again for that) http://www.thebedtimemonsters.com
We also found ourselves a label maker and are getting our labels made for the dolls and the tee shirts.
Megan has also started sewing a bunch of the Niro monsters so we have a few on hand.

Ok well it doesn't sound like that much but until you start and do your own thing then you may never realize how much effort and time can go into even the smallest things, especially when you have a full time job that takes the bulk of your daylight hours.
I have Just started to put together our catalog and main pages for our web site. The plan is to have it all done by the end of June so we can go out and start showing to shops and start getting some orders and interest going. Well back to work.
