I realized today, I have totally been blowing off things I need to do. But the holidays are over & now it’s back to the grindstone- in a manner of speaking. I did put on a few pounds I want to hoop away now. I’m currently as of today in the process of making new batiks for the store. I may even try to churn out some simple womens dresses. Yes, I have festival season on the mind. And for good reason too, this year we are hoping to make it to Wanee Festival. That would be such a fun vacation! Anyways, so that concludes my quick update. More blogging later- life gets busy & now so will I!

Alright, let’s finally get this giveaway started! Last month I questioned my Facebook friends & fans to which saying they preferred- “free hugs” or “cuddles anyone?” Overwhelmingly “Free Hugs” won. So I sketched up a few ideas on how I would batik this. So once again it’s up to you- the public- to decide! At the end of the giveaway one lucky person will be chosen to receive a FREE CUSTOM shirt of the FREE HUGS design, before we even offer them in one of the shops!
So here are the designs. While I did color them in as examples of how they could look- any colors as always could be used.

I have become such a slack blogger…I know, I know. And so much has happened that I cannot & will not even attempt to catch up. We started homeschooling with the K-12 program. Started out rough but we are finally into the swing of things. I’m still sewing & hooping. As of late I have “sew” busy making costumes! Halloween is right around the corner too. Once I am all done with that I will be moving on thinking of Christmas. And I’m telling you now- please get your orders in early. I will be having a cut off date this year to avoid how overwhelmed I was last year! AND October celebrates FOUR years selling online! Yay!!! Thanks to all our lovely customers for their continued support. I’ll blog again later (I never am not busy!) about a special giveaway or check out our facebook page for special deals & savings!
I’m closing down my artfire shop this weekend and opening up at Esty…yes, finally.
No changes at my home shop located on Hyena Cart, too much love there to leave!
I’d like to announce I am closing my ARTFIRE SHOP in just a few weeks. I was just giving another venue a test run so to speak. But I am not very happy with the venue itself after a few months. I am toying around with the idea of opening a shop on Etsy.com or just having new products my own website J Tribe Creations. Maybe you’d like to chime in on your opinion? Of course my HyenaCart shop will remain open and soon I will be celebrating four years there.
In other news, school soon approaches and this year my youngest starts Kindergarten in mid August and we are going to home-schooling with the K-12 program & we are very excited. BUT due to this new transition in life we will be closed for customs for around a month as we adjust our new schedule (please take this into consideration for ordering for Halloween costumes for October-one of my most busiest times for customs). I will announce on both my blog here & our FaceBook page when custom orders will be accepted once again. Again, thanks so much for your continued support & business.
If you haven’t had a chance to check out my new shop on Artfire.com, you should head over there now and check out the new dresses that I stocked yesterday. http://www.artfire.com/users/JTribeCreations
Then I’ve made 2 new hooping videos. One is for my one year anniversary of hooping and the other is a parody video for a contest. Hope you enjoy!
Made this quick tutorial this morning. I wasn’t planning on making these anymore, but after a few days of confusing & overwhelming searches on the internet, I just decided to go ahead & make them anyway. So here’s how I do it.
I’m currently as of today in the process of making new batiks for the store. I may even try to churn out some simple womens dresses. Yes, I have festival season on the mind. And for good reason too, this year we are hoping to make it to Wanee Festival. That would be such a fun vacation! Anyways, so that concludes my quick update. More blogging later- life gets busy & now so will I!
