Just finished this. It's cute! The next one will have bigger ears, I think, these are a little small on it now that it's done, but overall it's quite nice. Lined inside with fleece, with a band of very soft white fur that crosses around the ears. Very warm!
aww that is adoreable!! but yes bigger ears next time! Might just be me but I love big ears .. hehe I have a pair of kitty ears that are like HUGE!! that I made a few years ago.. .. like 6 inch(at least) wide by 6 inch tall each.. hehe .. I'll have to take a picture of them one day.. but anyways..
I think it looks okay. Personally, I think the bottom of the hat comes down too far.
By the way, has there been any progress of the Fawn suit yet? I know theres not much too it, but I really did want it by early December (even if I said I *could* wait until Jan) So, you know.... I thought some work may have been made ^^;
I do want it by the 15th of Jan at the latest. I don't mean to be rude, but I commissioned you for it waaaay back in the year, and I'm a little concerned at the lack of progress I see. I know you're a busy person, but... well, maybe if I just saw some scrap of fur sewing.
I know you said you've got a suit ahead of mine, but even then, I haven't seen anything about that suit either, so I don't even know when to expect work on my suit to begin. I'm sorry to pressure you about it, and I really don't want to come off as a jerk or anything, it's just... well, it's a fair sum of money to be investing, and... I'm sure you can understand the concern about it.
Also, as I have limited access to a comp at the moment, I'm allowing my IRL friend Mirches to handle further conversations/dealings about it. She'll talk to me about it and let me know what's going on, but as I'm in the process of moving, I can't get to a comp readily 24/7. Just letting you know so that it doesn't look like she's butting in on other people's business
I suggest you be kind to the people who have PAID YOU FOR A PRODUCT. Furthermore, you ARE behind on this. She gave you the full payment a long time before this and 'early december' will be gone within the next three days. That makes you late. That means she should have a discount, so be glad that she's decided not to press you for it.
And I understand her concern seeing as how you decided to make a random hat when having this product on your list of things to do and already being paid for it.
Now than you have had your little snippity piece, finish, get this in the mail, and send it to her ASAP so we will no longer have to deal with this bullshit. She hasn't been online, therefore hasn't been able to check her e-mails. I suggest you READ WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT NOT HAVING ACCESS TO A COMPUTER before badgering one of your CUSTOMERS. CUSTOMER. As in she paid for something. Therefore had the RIGHT to be upset.
Gee, thanks. I didn't decide to make a random hat, I made a hat for a customer who bought and paid for it BEFORE she did.
I have been trying to get in touch with her, and have been freaking stressed because she hasn't responded in any way. If she was on line to see this, why didn't she check her e-mail? Who the flip checks random lj posts and not e-mails? Having her get on my case when I'm just days away from finishing her thing, and she hasn't even bothered to try and find out if I've sent her any messages was kind of annoying.
It will be done. I've promised it will be done, and I keep my promises.
Look, you're close enough to being late to cause conern. Even if you did get it in the mail tonight, I would still consider it late.
She just now contacted you about this. She's been busy with moving and living her life, so please excuse if she didn't answer at the drop of a hat. The reason she didn't check her e-mail was because she was on my computer and we were in a rush to go places, therefore I was pushing her for us to leave. She was the one that pressed to check your LJ. She simply chose the post she was scrolling at at the moment I came in and decided to contact you. I cannot answer for why she didn't see the paws; perhaps she missed it.
And the way you responded was outright rude since you didn't even know the whole situation. She was extremely nice and even apologized for pushing about it. Maybe you need to read a bit on how you're supposed to treat customers before running a business.
If you want to get a message to her more directly, you can send me an e-mail at JulieAndrewsJunkie@gmail.com She'll know about this whole conversation by the end of the night though, but will still probably be unable to contact you directly for a while yet. I would prefer we moved this argument/discussion to e-mail if you wish to continue, but that's your choice.
My business is with her. If SHE is offended by my response, she can let me know. Her not having internet is her problem, not mine, and if she's concerned about her project, it's her responsibility to make the minimal effort to check on it.
And considering that SHE herself said it would be okay if I took a whole month more, I'm STILL not late, even if I didn't send it out until after New Year's.
Now I suggest you take JJ's suggestion and get out. This has nothing whatsoever to do with you.
Actually it is my business seeing as how i am the only one that can stand up for her at the moment and I refuse to let you jip my friend.
As I thought you would wish to continue publicizing drama; I suppose you get a thrill from it. As long as you cotninue, so will I. She said it would be okay because she's too nice for her own good. I am not. That's another reason that I'm taking over. Next year is too long, we have both decided that. And she is unhappy with the current service as she will be happy to tell you when she gets back on the internet.
Her not having internet is your problem because she is your customer. But since she doesn't, you get to deal with this bitch instead.
Perhaps you didn't hear me the first two times, so I will repeat. Get the fuck out. You're a pathetic white knight with an idiotic idea of what a 'gyp' is. Maybe you missed where the project is half-done and waiting on input? I suppose you could be that stupid.
I'm not doing this because I want drama. I'm doing this because I don't want to talk to you any more. Goodbye, you're banned. Tieran can contact me any time she likes, any way she likes.
Telling her to check her e-mail before getting on my case is not being a bitch, and if she has a problem with me, she can let me know. Just because YOU are a bitch doesn't mean jack to me, you're not my customer. You're not "taking over" anything. If she really is unhappy with me, she's free to let me know however she likes. Heck, here, I'll give you my phone number.
....aaaand now you're banned. See what happens when you act like an idiotic bitch? You stop being able to do your self-appointed unnecessary job! Enjoy your failure.
Got a question. Did either BSpark or your friend exchange phone numbers? Just a thought, but if your friend did not give any method of communication, other than email or LJ, perhaps BSpark isn't completely to blame for this wild miscommunication/drama?
Granted, this sort of thing *should* be taken offline, because it looks bad for a business person to have arguments online, right or wrong, but there are always two sides to a story.
I won't take sides, as I was not privy to the actual contract/communication regarding the project, but I really think you can attract more bees with honey.
That said, perhaps BSpark should get a phone number (and/or give hers) when a client goes into contract with her.
I do disagree with one point. It is NOT always up to the customer to initiate communication. True, if you have paid for something, and haven't seen any indication the project is going to be completed on time, you *should* try to contact the person you paid for the product.
On the other hand, good customer service is maintaining contact, even if it's a quick email (spare me the "my friend has no interweb access") saying, "here's what I have done, how about some input?"
Of course, a quick phone call is better than email for some. No matter how nerdy geeky we are, some of us may not be able to get online for whatever reason.
Also, there's the whole snail mail address part of the equation. At least ONE of you has the other's address. Perhaps a quick letter in the post would work, too. Antiquated? Perhaps. But there are ways around misunderstandings and unhappy clients.
I will note that I HAD e-mailed her, a few days ago, and was waiting for her response. Given that I'm NOT past the soonest possible deadline for this, and am a WHOLE MONTH from the latest deadline, I sort of was worrying about other things. I figured she'd get in touch when she was ready to. I'd have started trying to track her down in a few weeks, probably. I had no sense of urgency on this, because I wasn't given any. Until seeing Tieran's first comment here, I had no clue whatsoever that she was concerned in any way about the timeline on this. As far as I knew, I had until FC in January to complete it.
I dislike giving people my phone number. Customers have horribly abused my IMs in the past, and I really don't want to get phone stalked by the kind of guy who's attempted to yiff me over IM just because I once sold him a tail and was willing to talk to him because of it.
Well, maybe get their phone number? I dunno. Sometimes you have to take the initiative to correct problems that crop up.
That said, I still won't take sides. If the person said it was okay to get the suit to her before FC, then you definitely aren't late.
HOWEVER, it is understandable that she got a bit paranoid seeing other people's projects getting done without seeing whatever post you had about her project previously. Sometimes people just don't scroll past the first page on a person's journal.
Honestly, if I didn't have access to internet at home and was worried about a paid project, I'd find time to get my butt to a library and using one of their computers.
It's pretty easy to set up a free gmail account for such things, just in case you can't get to your real account for whatever reason.
Either way, I won't presume to tell you how to run your business. But I'm vocal enough to point out positive ways to help out.
I think coming into an unrelated thread and name calling was uncool on the other person's part, and I'd have never responded to her in the journal. I'd have sent a private message via LJ, if there was no email address in the profile.
But that's just me.
I don't tolerate the drama in my own journal. I'm surprised you would allow the amount you did on yours.
Ha. I refuse to delete comments, mine or anybody else's. I ban somebody when they've crossed the line, and that's it. If they want drama, bring it, I'm there.
Oh, and Mirches won't be able to respond to this. When I say I don't want to talk to you any more, I mean it. I don't want to talk to her anymore. If you want an answer to your question, you'll have to go over to her journal and ask it.
Oh, I don't particularly care if that person sees the post or not. I was offering constructive criticism for you both. No skin off my nose of Mirches doesn't see what I wrote.
No, really, get the fuck out. You come in here telling people how they need to run a successful business, this makes you a nosy, stupid, know-it-all bitch. You don't know jack, and the sight of your avatar disgusts me.
