Mermaid Tales

Our first test run of mermaid fabric samples have arrived, and it feels like Christmas over here, y'all. As careful as we are to follow all the needed fabric design guidelines in our design software, it's always a surprise to see what they look like once they're printed on fabric. Let's take a look, shall we? (crappy phone photo warning) Well, first off, SQUEE! Fabric design is my most favorite kind of design work to do, and it is SO satisfying to see it and hold it and feel it in your hands. Such fun, you guys. Okay, now critically:...

After two solid days of processing, we have the Keiko (kid sized) monofins in stock and ready to ship!  The team assembled the foot pockets and straps, applied the 'patent pending' stickers, folded thousands of monofin instruction and care guides and now they're being shelved at the shipping center. Pre-ordered monofins will ship first, and after that they'll ship lickity split with any new orders.  Hooray! Surprise Mermaid Monofin Discount: We were a little bummed out to discover that a lot of the green monofins had irregular coloring.  But we cheered up when we saw how cool our kids thought...

If you've been thinking about backing us on Kickstarter, today is your last chance!  Mermaid tails and monofins at pretty awesome prices until 8:30pm MST tonight! We are sooo close to the finish line; we've raised over $12,000!  Our kids are in awe, and say they feel really rich.  Ha, ha!  12K sounds like a lot of money until you look at how far it needs to stretch. 80% of the funds will pay for the mold for the larger fin.  The rest will go towards manufacturing the actual plastic fin part for the larger monofins.  We'll have the new...

I like to joke that I enrolled in Kickstarter 101.  I think I've read almost everything about starting, and running a Kickstarter campaign available on the internet.   I guess I won't have graduated valedictorian until our campaign for our mermaid monofin is successful, but either way I have had one heck of an education.   If you're not familiar with Kickstarter, it's what they call a "crowdfunding" website.  Where new start-up companies like ours can get funding for new products from people just like you rather than say, an investor.  But it's not just asking the masses for money, no, we...
