Barn Sale News Flash

Phew!  That was a whole lot of dyeing in a very short time.  We looked at each other last night and just laughed and laughed. It is actually the most fun here these times where we are just slammed. Most of us and especially the me of us handle stress and exhaustion by getting goofy.
The kind of silliness where an innocent comment is totally taken the wrong way and insane hilarity ensues.
Like the little hot pink accident I had on Wednesday.

Online Sale

There have been some questions so I thought it would help if I addressed them here for everyone to see.

When exactly are we activating the code?
We are activating it at midnight Friday (PST) evening that magical moment when Friday mysteriously turns itself into Saturday.

Will we crash the server?
No, you will not. We have a very big dedicated server and I have been assured all is well on this front. It did gives us the opportunity to come up with some awesome, “my server is bigger than your server” juvenile humor. So thanks for that. Of course, my server is sooo bigger than your server! (sorry could not resist)

Is there enough yarn?
I love this one. I also have that yarn nightmare where the yarn runs out or that the little sheepies go on strike or some other such wool disaster will happen. Rest assured this is not that time. We have yarn, lots and lots of yarn.

Please keep in mind that your order might take a wee bit longer than normal because of the numbers. All the elves that usually help us get this done are out helping Santa.

I think that covers it for now. If you have any other questions let us know.

We are ready!
