Wow. Big changes afoot

February 18th, 2010

I’m super happy to report that my website is getting a complete and total overhaul. You literally will not recognize it. I intend to have it launched by the end of February, which is only a week away.
There’ll be much more content, including articles I wrote and loads of pics. It’s actually the pics that are slowing me down, because I had to make up a bunch of beads. Too fun.

New shopping carts

December 3rd, 2009

Well, they ain’t pretty, but they’re here by popular demand. Emphasis on demand.
People crack me up. It was only five years ago when I put my first site up that I was a bit ahead of the curve. Now, everyone is so web savvy.
We need to develop a buy button that hands you a cup of coffee while you wait for the checkout pages to load.

I’ll make the checkout prettier when Christmas is behind us all!

Ready for Christmas?

November 7th, 2009

I am. I love this time of year when I get really busy and have to squeeze every minute out of the day. I get super efficient. Of course, then I’m really glad when it all calms down about 1 1/2 weeks before Christmas. So I guess I’m a pretty happy person more times than not.

Turn-around is about 1 1/2 weeks. Feel free to order.

What’s new

October 4th, 2009

Hi all. All is well here in my middle of nowhere world. It has been an intense harvest season. Not so much because my garden was great, but because my CSA organic food pickup every week has been loaded with food to deal with. So on top of twin toddlers, gardens, chrysalis and chickens in the yard and glass chrysalis in the studio, I have added canning canning and more canning.

I know I have promised a new and improved site, but when ya got a box of pears threatening to rot, you deal with that kind of thing first. Besides, I like to dream big, and have a special piece I’m making for my new upcoming frontpage splash. It’s a sculpture-very cool stuff. It will all happen in due time.

As always, if you need to contact me, just zip me an e-mail for the fastest response. juderose at juderose dot com. Turnover is still around two weeks and I am trying to get ready for the Christmas push. And the January push too. That’s probably my favorite time of year. It’s when all the people who asked for a chrysalis from loved ones who didn’t get the very heavy hints end up taking matters into their own hands and buy one for themselves. It’s awesome and happens every year. Hope you’re not one of them! Hint louder!

Cheers,
Jude

Thank God I got a big order to keep me busy this summer because my site is a mess. I’m so sorry.

Gah.

July 19th, 2009

My sincere apologies for anyone who wants to see my chrysalis. I guess when I thought it was all working, it was only working in my preferred browser, Firefox. Which explains why Firefox is my preferred browser. 

I’m going to post some recent pics of my chrysalis here while I figure out how in the world to find time to make a new website. My husband gets me first. He’s got a gorgeous website in the works and needs me to plug in all the goodies. I figure by the time I get his up to snuff, my creaky HTML skills will be oiled to make my site kick butt.

 

In the meantime, here’s the chrysalis and my new chickens. Jade is $85.00 and almost-born is $125.00. Chickens are pretty cool. BTW.

Back to normal-sorta

June 2nd, 2009

Hi all. I am starting to get my site tidied up again. To be honest, it just was a good yet bad time to have some jerks mess with it. On one hand, April/May tends to be really slow every year, but I tend to use those months to get my garden well underway. And in fact, I still plan to keep being outside even if it means some of my links are dead. Winter is the best time to website making!
Right now, my head is focussed on my wonderfully spreading patch of milkweed, our new fenced in area to keep two 2 year olds contained so I can weed, and my very large organic garden this year. I am already harvesting lettuce, spinach, and radishes!
Peas are probably two weeks away.

Oh, and biggest of all, we’re getting 6 chickens in a couple weeks! We’re deep in the process of building an addition off the old outhouse. Being in frigid Wisconsin adds a bit to the process. DH bought a mind-numbing amount of insulation, so those chickens better appreciate how cozy they’ll have it and give me some December eggs.

Losers

For all of you who got to my website via searching for children’s porn, I have your IP address. No, it’s too late. You may click away, but I already know who you are. Thank your Bush administration. The Homeland Security Act makes sure that I can submit your information to the authorities and they can bully your web provider to spill who you are.
Now I don’t have a problem with ‘normal’ porn as a rule. But I do have a problem with lazy business people who decide being a parasite off a legit site is better than becoming legit yourself. So to you I say, go f%$# yourself-but you’re already forced to do that since noone wants you, aren’t you?
