*sigh*

of relief!

When I began designing children's things and opened my shop not too long ago, I knew nothing of the CPSIA legislation, so imagine my shock when I began hearing about it and reading the requirements for makers of children's items! Third party testing for my handmade items?? By February 10, 2009?? Impossible!

Thank goodness the CPSC listened to the cries of the many crafters across the U.S. Yesterday, they voted to suspend testing requirements for another year until the details are worked out - phew! Read it here for more info...

And please... continue to support handmade and write your legislator to keep it alive!!
