It definitely feels like February around here, at least weather-wise. (At last glance it was 4° actual temperature outside, yuck!) I am still catching my breath from a very busy January here in Just-Joshin HQ. Business has really picked up and I couldn’t be happier. My total number of orders for all of 2012 was 26. Sure, I made a ton of sample shirts and an entire Disney World wardrobe for my family. So far 2013 has been a frenzy of shirt-making:

• 38 Etsy Orders
• 59 Total shirts in those orders (Many of my offerings are Twin Sets.)
• 42 Samples stitched out to use for photos in my listings
• 2 Separate photo shoots I teamed up with Amanda at Loch and Key Photography
• 15 Adorable Models posing for photos, ranging in age from 10 weeks to 3 years old. 

Now I am finishing up the very last of the Valentines orders and stitching out samples for St. Patricks Day and Easter. The nice thing about working ahead is the fun Spring colors warm up this cold, cold weather.

Thank you to all my customers, my models and my friends who are willing to lend me their kids for brief periods to play dress up. I can’t wait to get more things in the store. My goal for February is to top 100 listings.

Here are a couple new things you can find in my shop, with lots more to come.
