How's the aftermath going?
The sale fueled a record month for us, which is great! However, that means we also have a lot of work to do...
We got the cutting out of the way first. Mom's been busy all week hemming. At this point, almost all hammock bodies have hems and channels, and all bugnets and covers have hems. I'm currently the weakest link in our production line, since I work during the week. I usually do all of the work with the zippers, and can do about 2 Nettys/Envys a night. I'm taking tomorrow off from my full-time employment to sew. I expect to get a lot done this weekend, but it's going to be a couple weeks before we catch up.
Unfortunately, I had a failure with my sewing machine on Sunday, in the midst of the sale. I spent Sunday and Monday evening trying to fix it, but to no avail. We have since replaced it with a new machine, which I'm still getting acclimated to. It's almost like upgrading from a Civic to a Corvette - it has a higher top speed, so the "throttle" is much more sensitive. I expect my output will increase dramatically once I get accustomed.
I love seeing a new business succeeding. Congratulations.
Exciting to think my hammock is cut and hemmed. Can't wait. Thanks and thanks again for the demo at MAHHA. Having the Argon Envy there sealed the deal. If you weren't there, I probably wouldn't have bought one.
Just thought you would like to know your participation at the event paid off...and the sale helped push me over the edge to do it now.

Yep, I finished yours up last evening, and it went out today. Mom and I shipped 6 hammocks yesterday, and another 3 this morning. If all goes to plan, there will be at least 3 more going out on Monday.
Stubby, if you see this message, I'm posting it from inside your Envy. :P Just need to do your Peekaboo cover and straps, yet.
