Oh my goodness...it's already February. Just wanted to post a quick note to say that if you are interested in a custom order, please e-mail me. I'm still stocking at iCrave as well. Look fore more toy balls in the next few stockings!

Update...

2008-11-07T09:49:00.000-08:00

Well, October was a blur. It featured everyone in the house either getting sick or having some kind of medical issue. I was also on jury duty for two weeks. I'm so happy to be back to a normal schedule. I'm looking forward to making a few things for the stocking next week. I will also have a few custom slots as well!

Waitlist progress

2008-10-04T10:26:00.001-07:00

Good news. My baby is finally taking good naps, which will give me a bit more time to work on dryer balls! I sent out a few PM's and e-mails today to folks on my waitlist. Once I'm through the current list, I'll be offering more custom spots at the iCrave stockings.

Charity auction and stocking!

2008-09-25T20:10:00.000-07:00

Please check out this charity auction for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society!http://hyenacart.com/BellaBeansKnitsnThings/index.php?c=37&p=95444I have this gorgeous set of dryer balls up for auction there. This is in honor of Tammy's (from Bella Bean's Knits & Things) daughter Brianna. The bidding ends 9/26.

Also, coming tomorrow is a fun hedgehog collaboration with Apple Bottom Baby at iCrave.

I've been so busy with custom orders I only have the one set available for this stocking. I'm hoping to have a lot more next month.

Previews are up!

2008-09-11T21:14:00.000-07:00

I have 4 dryer ball sets that will be available tomorrow at noon ET on iCrave! Hopefully as my baby gets on more of a schedule, I can increase production a bit.

For next week's stocking I'll have a two styles of dryer balls on Hyenacart for the first time. Look for the very popular Japanese style and colorful blends. And stay tuned for the 9/26 "woodland" themed stocking. Perhaps you'll find owls and hedgehogs.

Stocking update for 8/22

The past two weeks have just flown by. I was able to get three fun sets finished for the themed stocking this week. I will also have two custom spots for the Swirly Wool Dryer Balls. Look for mermaids, seahorses, clownfish and more later today!

Thank You!

Thanks everyone for a great stocking. Everything sold out in under 30 seconds. The lottery for the custom slot will end on Monday night at 8PM ET. Click here for more information. Also, be sure to check out the collaboration for a fun monster themed 1st birthday party. Your little boy or girl can get a cute hat, shirt, shoes and matching toy wool ball set.

Over the next two weeks I will be concentrating on custom orders and our next themed stocking. The theme will be based on Heather Ross' new Mendocino line of fabrics. Hmm..mermaids, seahorses, fish, and octopus. That should be fun!!

Now testing: Wool Toy Ball Kits

2008-08-06T08:11:00.001-07:00

If you are crafty, but short on time, these kits will fit the bill. These are currently in testing phase. You can see the testing thread here. Look for these kits at iCrave soon!

Stocking update for 8/8

2008-08-05T18:25:00.001-07:00

For Friday's stocking I'll have:

Maui Sunset, Poodle Skirt, Sea Glass, Watermelon (a new color), and a fun Alien Galaxy set. I'm hoping to get one more set finished tonight. I'm undecided on the number of custom spots. I will have at least have one, maybe two. I will also have a least one lottery this week to give everyone a fair shot at scoring a set! Look for previews tomorrow afternoon at iCrave!

Hello!

2008-07-30T08:13:00.000-07:00

Welcome to Littlejohn Lane. I thought I would start a blog so everyone could keep up with my growing business. The nice ladies at iCrave have invited me to sell my items on their congo full time. We stock every other Friday at Noon ET. There is also one themed stocking each month.

I'm currently making wool dryer balls and toys. Here are answers to frequently asked questions:

What are they made of? The balls are made of 100% wool, including all designs. They are made with a combination of needle felting and wet felting. This creates a well bonded ball with a nice smooth finish.

How do they work? You just place them in the dryer with your wet clothing or diapers. The bouncing action helps reduce drying time and will soften your items as well. They will help reduce crunchiness in everything from hemp to bamboo velour.

Do you do customs? Yes, I do have a customs list that is full right now. I hope to have at least 2 custom slots available at each stocking.
