Survey Results and New Stock Lines! [May. 4th, 2008|02:34 pm]
[Tags|, , , , , , ]
[Current Location |North Devon, UK]

[Current Music |Mark Ronson]

Hi Everyone!
 
Lots of exciting things have been happening here at My Little Customs! ^_^
 
First off, I just wanted to thank everyone who took the time to take part and voice their opinions on my survey. I have had an overwhelmingly positive response, lots of really lovely comments and some great product suggestions!
 
 
On to the exciting new developments and results of the survey!
 
 
 
  • By far the greatest suggestion for stock has been for me to carry the FULL colour range of both the nylon and saran hair.
 
I am really excited to say that this is going to happen!
 
I have 32 new nylon colours being packaged up ready for shipping at the end of the month. This brings my nylon range right up to date and including my brand new “Melting” Colours range and my custom blends, this means that I will now be stocking 103 nylon colours!
 
The 29 new saran colours are also on their way and are due in with me on Tuesday 6th May. Alongside the full range of Katsilk Saran colours, I am also stocking 16 of the dollyhair saran exclusive colours with 2 more new Thermal Colour Changing colours on their way too!
 
This brings my total colour range in the saran up to 82 colours!
 
This also in turn means that My Little Customs is the ONLY online store where you can purchase the full range of both nylon and saran hair colours on the entire internet! LOL  
 
 
 
  • Another popular suggestion for stock was more Blythe goodies.
 
This is another suggestion I have responded to immediately!
 
I have a large shipment of Blythe eye chips that have arrived from Japan.

I also have foils and Lip Stickers fresh from Japan in stock ^_^
 
Some GORGEOUS handmade Blythe dresses in stock made by the fabulous Suzi
 
Some super cute Blythe hairclips handmade by me waiting to be photographed and uploaded
 
More of the tiny Blythe sized Kirby grips are also here ^_^
 
I also have some gorgeous vintage beads waiting in the wings which will make stunning pull rings
 
 
 
  • There were also lots of calls for rerooting tools and needles too which is another line I am implementing!
 
I have some Doll sized rerooting tools being made as we speak alongside some My Little Pony rerooting tools which are now in stock.
 
I have long doll rerooting needles in stock in packs of 3 sized: 6 7/8”, 5 1/8” & 3 ½”
 
I also have some 1.0mm crochet needles in stock for your Blythe reroots too!
 
 
 
  • There was also demand for Japanese imported fabrics for your dolly dress making
 
These too are also now in stock! They are so adorable your heart will just melt 
 
 
 
  • There were a few people who mentioned that my Pippa colour matching guide was a little confusing as different places suggest different matches.
 
I have hopefully addressed this by taking some photographs of original Pippa samples alongside the matching colours.
 
I would like to extend special thanks to Dianna for generously supplying me with the samples and to Suzi for identifying that White Witch Nylon is a perfect match for Gail so no more need to mix in a few strands of silver hair to white for every plug!
 
 
*phew* So much has been happening!
 
 
Now on to some slightly bad news.
 
The question of shipping has literally been a 50 / 50 split between keeping postage free and upping the costs of the products or keeping the products the same price and paying for postage.
 
With my postal costs spiralling out of control thanks to Royal Mail’s HUGE price hikes and introduction of large and small letter price structures over the last 12 months I have been forced to concede that I can no longer afford to offer free shipping on my website.
 
However, I will not be charging for handling or packaging ~ the postage costs you pay will be the ACTUAL postal costs and not a penny more.
 
Postage will start from 52p Large Letter First Class and a new shipping option of Second Class delivery will also added to give you more freedom, flexibility and choice over how you want your items to be sent.
 
 
That is more than enough news from me for now ~ I applaud you for sticking with it and reading this far!! LOL

NEW IN!  My Little Customs is now stocking amazing reproduction flutter wings hand crafted by the super talented Gypsywildflower

 Photobucket

My Little Pony Custom Flutter Wings

Hand made by Gypsywildflower

 

Made with stronger plastic that the original fragile Hasbro flutter pony wings, they also come with an iridescent finish which gives the beautiful colour changing effect to match the originals.

These wings fit both series of Flutter ponies ~ no need for glue on precious ponies as the tab bends to fit snugly

These wings flap in the pony's wing mechanism which make these ideal for play or display!

They are the perfect finishing touch for your OOAK flutter customs

Moving house ~ changing plans! eep! [Jun. 26th, 2007|10:46 am]
[Tags|, ]
[Current Location |somerset ... booo!]
[Current Mood | ecstatic]
[Current Music |the offspring ~ smash]

ok so as you probably already know we have sold our house and were in the process of buying a beautiful house just outside Taunton.

well, VERY long story short, MONTHS since our offer was accepted and the purchase has progressed not very far and at a snails pace.

well, a few things have emerged ~ the whole reason for living here is so that hubby has a short commute to work. Due to some recent restructuring at his work place,  from May next year, hubby will be commuting country wide for work.

we were left with the prospect of me rattling around a large house on my own for long periods of time in a village where I know no one.

on a total whim we booked to view a few houses in devon, more to convince ourselves we were doing the right thing by staying here.

weeeeeeeell we found a house which is PERFECT for us, big driveway, double garage, HUGE garden and overall a large 3 bed 1930's period house.

so last friday we pulled out of the purchase and had an offer accepted on this new house.

I am so excited to be going back home! the other big bonus is that the seller is desperate to move as he has lost 3 previous buyers so hopefully we can be in within the next 6 weeks!!!!

FINALLY some light at the end of this very messy tunnel.

all my friends, all my family and our hearts are in Devon so we are thrilled to be going home ^_^

its a risky thing to do with all this uncertainty but you only live once right? lol

 


lol so much for a long story short! LOL

wish us luck!

[Current Music |the rumble of the traffic passing by]

I can't believe it was back in February that I first packed up my ponies and announced we would soon be moving ....

weeeeeeeell we have sold our house and are just thrashing out the rather complicated details on the house we are buying >_<

We knew moving would take a little while, however, we didn't anticipate the monumental headache it is turning out to be! Fingers crossed we should be moving in the next 4 weeks (ish?)

* breathes into a brown paper bag * 


Anyway, onto the good stuff! LOL

I am now stocking BUTTERSCOTCH nylon hair ~ another few new colours are coming soon too ^_~
 




Also, I pulled my finger out and rerooted my first ever Sindy!

Isn't she pretty?





I used just under 2 hanks of Pumpkin Spice nylon hair to rehair her ~ she is a little bit of a WIP so please excuse her nakeyness ^_^

That's it really ~ not much to report!

As the sale of our house progresses, I have found that I was right in thinking I would not have enough time to devote to customs, I have, however, been able to grab the odd hour here and there to indulge in a little wing making!

I love wings nearly as much as ponies ^_^







I have lots of pairs of wings up for sale, both on Ebay and on my website.

Stop by and take a look!

My Little Customs is temporarily closing [Feb. 10th, 2007|06:30 pm]
[Tags|, , ]
[Current Location |my untidy desk]
[Current Mood | working]
[Current Music |silence ~ just the hum of my pooter]

ok guys and gals, my husband and I are planning on putting our house on the market in the next couple of weeks so I am having to wind down all sales and customs for a little while.

Hopefully it shouldn't take too long to sell our house and settle into somewhere new but until then my poor ponies are doomed to a life of sitting quietly in cardboard boxes.


Shelves and shelves of ponies, jiffy bags and glitter are not the best look when trying to sell a house! LOL

I am moving a lot of my ponies to Ebay at the moment and the ponies remaining on my website will be taken down over the next week or so.

Please note that all commissions are closed and no new ponies will be uploaded until we have moved house!

Anyone who is interested in buying anything ~ now is the time to speak up!


In a couple of months, once we are settled into our new house My Little Customs will be undergoing a relaunch ~ I have big plans afoot! * exciting! *
 


Thank you!
 
Robin xx
