Crazy, Sexy new boyfriends!!

No, I'm not talking about a new paramour in my life! Shush you, get your mind out of the gutter and don't be starting any rumors! I'm talking about Todd's lovely new boyfriend styles! They are seriously gorgeous, I squealed with delight when I first saw them. Check them out:





I haven't added them all to our etsy shop just yet, but over the next few days I will be slowly adding them. I just don't want the entire first page of our shop filled with adult items!

But you know, I just have to say something about these boyfriends. They are not just for the bedroom! They work wonders on back aches (Todd used one on my back just last night and it was heavenly!) and the mini pocket pals work great for your sore hands and for someone like me, who is constantly typing on the computer, they are perfect for my poor paws. Also, they are just too beautiful to keep tucked away for just you and your partner to see, why not display them somewhere in the living room or ....?? What I'm getting at is that they are just gorgeous and they have more than one use. Get creative with them! Ok hopefully now I can stop blushing....

Summers end and what have I to show for it?

LOTS!!!!
It has been a fruitful summer my friends, hence the lack of updates (sorry 'bout that!). This has been one of the best summers of my life. We have been spending long, lazy days down at the river with our animals and our daughter, tending our vast garden, spending time with good friends and family, and of course working into the wee hours of the night updating our glass and fabric shops.
A couple months ago we adopted a new family member: Berry the donkey.



He is the sweetest, most mellow donkey you have ever met. I never in a million years would have ever thought that I would enjoy the company of a donkey so much..... he is truly a blessing and a such a fun addition to our animal family! Only thing is that he gets a little possessive when the grain and orchard grass comes out. He doesn't mind sharing it with the sheep as much but he absolutely REFUSES to share it with the alpacas. Feeding time takes a little more coordination these days but that's ok. Everyone gets their fair share and that's all that matters!
Speaking of new family members, Todd also adopted about 10,000 new family members this summer! We got a hive of bees and they are just great!!



They work all day long out in the field and are incredibly easy to care for. The best part:




The golden, delectable honey, of course! Todd is somewhat of a "bee charmer".

He has a way of getting into the hive at just the right time of day and getting into the honey with as little affect on the bees as possible. He only got stung once but he was such a trooper about it. It was worth it for the sweet honey! We'll have a good amount of honey for the rest of the fall at least. We tend to use a lot in this household!

My parents also came to visit from the east coast so that was lots of fun too. We went to the beach, aquarium, the high desert, the woods and just hung out and worked on home projects together. For an 8 day visit, we parted on surprisingly civil terms!



Visiting the ocean inspired Todd to work on a new line of aquatic creatures such as this shark:


this fish:


and this Orca whale:


On the fabric front, I have been having a ball with this new bamboo woven fabric! It is so wonderfully soft and versatile. I've been dying it up in many different colors. I have listed lots of it in my fabric etsy shop and will be adding more soon! My new shipment of bamboo/organic cotton knit blend fabrics should be here in about a week and a half! I'm so excited! I will have velour, jersey, fleece and 2 different wovens. Yeah, you already know that though, as I have mentioned it a million times already! Can you tell i'm excited?

Anyways, now that the weather will be turning soon, I will make more of an effort to keep you all abreast on the Infinite Cosmos happenings! Love you all!

IT'S HERE! 100% bamboo fabric and lots more fabric tales!

As some of you know, I have been looking into sources for more fabric and I had decided on a wonderful 100% bamboo woven fabric. Well the long waiting is finally over and the fabric is here! I can now call myself a successful importer! It was quite a learning experience figuring out things like harmonized tariff codes, import fees, duties and taxes and talking to people like import brokers and mill representatives. You can't even imagine how insanely complicated it is to figure out a harmonized tariff code if you don't know where to look, especially on things like textiles.
So anyways, the fabric is finally here and it is just fabulous! I'm super excited about it. I just wish I had more time to actually use some myself! In the next couple days I'm sure I'll be able to finally sit down and sew something beautiful with it. But for now, I'm offering it to all you wonderful sewists out there for $6.25/yd for up to 10 yds, 11-25 yards the price drops to $6/yd and 26 yds+ the price is $5.90/yard. You can either email me at infinitecosmos420@yahoo.com and place your order that way or check out my etsy shop: http://InfiniteCosmosHemp.etsy.com. Believe me when I say I have enough for everyone who wants some! I am also working with the mill from whom I bought this fabric to produce some hemp fabrics too so be on the look out in the next couple months for that. It has been difficult finding just the right mill and fabric for my inventory but I have a lot of confidence in the mill that produced this bamboo fabric so I'll keep you all updated on the production of the new hemp fabrics as the weeks go by.
In other fabric news, I found another bamboo fabric supplier that produces wonderful knit fabrics! So next month I will have a stock of various bamboo/organic cotton blend fabrics including velour, fleece (I decided that there was enough interest in the black fleece so you can expect to see that in the future), jersey, and a couple other luxurious woven fabrics such as an EXTRA wide (230cm!!) sheeting fabric that will be perfect to make sheets and bed linens! I can't wait to make myself some awesome sheets and pillow cases with that stuff. Since these fabrics will be made from the highest quality fibers, the prices will be slightly higher, but still competitive. The fleece will be around $10/yard (I haven't seen it for less than that online, especially the black!), the jersey will be around $7/yard and the velour will also be around $10/yard. But I will crunch the numbers after I figure out all the duties, taxes and fees when it arrives and see what kind of prices will be reasonable after all that.
If you've made it this far, thank you! Not the most exciting post if you have no interest in my fabrics, but since I'm obsessed with fabric, I'm pretty excited about all the new stuff coming my way! Talk to y'all later!
