New Items - Testing Ideas
Well, I've been working on a bunch of new stuff over the past months. Some took off like crazy, others were 'meh'.
Best idea - catnip toy witch hats. Super easy to make out of felt, nice size (the cone is about 3" tall) and they go together quickly. AND the felt is stiff enough to have them stand up nice and straight. If I made them in brown and scruffed them over in a bend and tacked that in place I'd have a Hogwarts Sorting Hat.
Another good one is Squiddies - little squids made out of different colors of polar fleece, with cotton bottoms (I found a print that has dots on to represent suckers, it added interest) and a folded piece of polar fleece at the front that I sliced up to make the tentacles. The eyes went on above that, just plain black beads, but I pinched and sewed the area right above those to make a sort of eyebrow. They look grouchy. HUGE hit with the Steampunk crowd!!!!
I've seen interest wane in the normal things - carrots, chili peppers and such. Mice are still the best sellers though.
