OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

Finally. I won’t even grumble about manufacturer’s who don’t keep up with their color swatches, thus making me have to scan a lot of products (which I neglected to anticipate). Throw in last-minute, unexpected, severe issues with the shipping module, thanks to good old USPOS USPS and you get a lot of extra time required to get things up and running.

With many hours of non-stop work into the wee hours of the morning, I can finally present to you…



One Star’s Light
Needlework Supplies

(I’m only 5+ hours late…)

Oh! I nearly forgot. The correct guessers in the “Guess My ONS Name” Contest were: Jenn L., Belinda, Michelle, Christine V., Coral and Lina. I had Terry choose a winner at random, but I’m exhausted and nearly incoherent, plus I have a conference call to attend in 3 hours, so I’ll post that later today.

P.S. If you run into any issues with the website, please email me ASAP at jenna (at) magees (dot) net. Thanks!

    Brilliant!! I have put in my first purchase, and now I already want to add to my back order!! Can we arrange that?

    Paypal has taken off too little money – so we will have to chat about that!

    Congratulations, your baby is up and running!!

    Your site is fantastic, Jenna. Very clean, easy to browse, everything looks great! I love the way the pictures crop up when you click on them- very neat. 🙂
    Will you be adding a “Terms of Service” page to explain your shipping policies etc.? It might be safer for both you and your customers. (but maybe I just didn’t see it! LOL )
    I’ll be bookmarking a few items to my wishlist, that’s for sure! 😀 Love your selection of threads and designs, yummy!

    (((Jenna)))
    Congratulations on your beautiful work.

    Hi Jenna

    Looking great. I’ll be back on tonight (when I get home from work) to place my order. Already seen about 5 charts I HAVE to have lol.

    Hope it’s all going well honey, and that you’re getting some rest now it’s all online and done.

    Thanks to the Dragon’s generosity (love my Mum!) I’ve placed my first order … it’s not everyone who gets their Christmas gifts in March!! I get to go stash buying and still stay within my 50 project challenge yippee!! 😀 I still have plenty on the wishlist, though, for later! LOL. 😀 Congrats on the website, it seriously easy to navigate. Only one question, though, is it right that the postage with the lowest price has the quickest shipping time? Hope you manage to get some decent rest after the last minute dramas 😀

    I was so excited when I saw theheader loaded. Then more so when I noticed the spot for Margaret Sherry and Valerie Pfieffer loaded. Now there are all these lovely proces and shopping carts next to them! Hee hee
    My final (I promise) request- Could there be a gift certificate option in the horizon?
    Can I create a button for my blog too to your shop? (oops, one more slipped!)
    Must be all the stashy goodness getting to me!

  10. Angela says:

    Note to self: “Do not type around the coffee cup Angela”
    *prices, not proces. Sheesh.

  11. Jo says:

    Congratulations Jenna! I second the idea for gift certificates. I don’t need any more stash but it would be nice to RAK a few people and help you out at the same time 🙂

  12. Outi says:

    WOOHOO! I am glad you got it up and running! 🙂

  13. Carol says:

    Fantastic Jenna! I am so proud of you!!!!!!!!!!

  14. Isabelle says:

    True, gift certificates would be lovely! But we’ll be patient. Take all the time you need! 🙂

  15. Svenja says:

    Congratulations Jenna! It looks great. And now don’t forget to sleep! 🙂
    It would be nice if you could note somewhere your shipping costs and the payments you accept (though I gather from Coral’s comment that you fortunately accept paypal!).

  16. Kali says:

    Congrats Jenna! It looks great… will go nose around when work quiets down a bit 🙂

  17. coonie says:
