It is pretty Char. All Sparkly Good Job[img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

Have any of you ladies ever asked NEC why it is taking so long for the approvals to be mailed back this past month? Also has anyone asked about the approval list and why it is taking so long? I am asking this of the gals who may have called asking about their packages taking so long.
They told me certain gals inspect certain projects. That is all I know about all of this. I do not want to ask them any questions. They stated on their paper work they sent to me not to call. But if anyone has been told anything by the staff would you post it please.
I could assume they are really busy and what some have posted. But when I think that it makes no sense to me. But I have no idea how many people work for NEC or how it goes for inspecting and so forth. Am always fearful of asking the wrong questions and or saying something wrong but the time it is taking this month is bothering me. I can not afford to buy all the supplies it would take to keep making and practicing while taking this long.[img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img] Also you can get just not motivated with it taking this long. I realize that is my problem but I am getting discouraged.

Thanks Kim and Cindy....[img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]
Please don't get discouraged, I know they are always very busy. I don't know how many work there but I'm guessing maybe around 10 or so??? I really have no clue, I have spoken w/about 5 different ladies in the past. I haven't asked why the approval list is taking so long to update.....but I'm curious too. I should be on the next list since I got approved on the Scotty since Jan 3rd. Try to hang in there. [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img] Since I'm approved on 5 projects and working on getting approved on a 6th, the waiting is never an issue for me anymore. I usually have supplies for one or several projects waiting for my attention. [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]Edited by: craftinggranny

Hey Cindy,

ya know a lot of us are waiting...i sent an email for them to please check since i had loss of voice....its gettin better, but i can hardly hear myself...I know it got there i just don't want it to be lost....it was the #3 toe, so if i need to redo i need the supplies....Feb had some holidays in there, and it was a short month....

you got instructions from a critique not to call? I did not get anything like that...or is it in all the intial paperwork sent or their site....
....
WooHoo Char its fab.....and in my fav color......

Char thank you
I realize once you get going on these crafts it all falls into place. I was doing so well with being patient and waiting two weeks was easy enough for me .

It is now a month of waiting on the third critique so it is getting more difficult. I wanted to think maybe I got approved but because of everyone still waiting I am thinking now that probably is not the case. Just some anxiety and nerves from not knowing all that is going on. Also without my bookmarks to make and running out of supplies to practice my sheep am getting anxious and some what discouraged.

Havetime in the info they sent with my kit it stated whne waiting for approvals to not call for info about them. I would have to go reread it but that is what stuck in my mind. I did email about critiques and asked a few questions. Just got more confused. Answers and info sent from NEC were contradicting each other so decided just to keep quiet and using trial and error would be best for me. It is getting through the beginning of working with NEC that is causing me the questions. Like Char said it gets to be a nice job once you get going.

To all in wait for toes.

Just got email from NEC, i have a minor fix....and mine went out yesterday.........i think the hold up was supplies.....

WooHoo

[khsmith]

Well, thanx for the word...don't guess they said anything about mine, like they started a fire with it or anything?

[havetime]

hey Kelley,

Nooooooooo but i really think it was refilling of their supplies, but when i send this back in its comin back pre-priority from the PO....not whatever postage this is...

i'm rolling a toe right now....its almost like i got to do it everyday or i loose my touch....that's how it will be eventually for us...

[khsmith]

Yeah, We'll be dreaming about toe rings, not that I don't already...toe rings, scotties, poodles, the list goes on and on.

I'm taking the TBH to the post office when the kids get home from school and I'm gone put differerent postage on it too. Snail mail stinks, I think the internet has us all spoiled....

Hey Ladies,

Nothing in the mail today, how about any of you? Wow...this is really weird to go from a week to a month with no critiques...

Maybe by the end of the week.
