May Gray

Santa Monica has been so gray this month. I have been crazy-occupied with non-Zoom related issues but I have gotten a new wind and the biggest to-do item on my list is a website redesign. I am kind of bored with what I have now and a whole new look has been in the back of my head for a ling time. My ZOOMZABEBE labels, which I have had for 8 months now are evidence of the direction I want to go. Very clean and stream-lined. They are natural twill with light teal and brown lettering. On my recent trip back to Chicago, I talked to my cousin Jen of Starving Artist Bazaar and she is totally on board to set me up.
My goal is to seperate the baby and kids line from the adult tees and knits. Big changes ahead!
For now, I am going to redo the existing site to have a clearance page seperate from my new kid stuff. I have been working on new designs and methods.
I also need PR stuff like media kits, Line Sheets, and probably a new press realease. Also and the hardest for me, is going to stores to peddle my wares.
I decided not to apply for Felt Club in July but I do love that show and hope to apply for the Holiday one.

New Ladies tees

Yeah-our new ladies tees have been added. These are the latest designs and I think the are pretty darn cool. For now the supplies are very limited.





Other colors are available on the website

New kids tees

Here are some new kids tees I have been working on. I am phasing out my old blanks and will be using American Apparel tees from now on. I think they are softer and of better quality.


Zoomzawear is due for a big update. I am thinking of putting my in-stock merchandise on-line at a huge savings. Stay tuned.

Zoomzawear goes solar

Please forgive me for being extremley lethargic with Zoomzawear. I have been very busy helping Solar Forward. Happy New year by the way.

I will be giving much more attention to zoom in the middle of Feb. My sister will be having another zoom baby this week . Yahoo!

Phresh/art/live show

Well, at least I got to hear live music for my $75 application fee...It's too bad the organizers did not really advertise this show as one with vendors. Instead, it was a gallery shwing that happened to have some vendors in the back room.
Here is my booth. I was a decent size (5'x10'). I made the zoomzabebe display for this show. I think I will be using it alot more.

I barely made the fee back. The worst part is that the one credit card transaction I had turned bad. The buyer was another vendor and I have emailed her about it. It would be a little uncomfortable since she is also a vendor at Bazaar Bizarre. Hopefully she will make it right and give me a valid CC number. ugh.

Christine (Two Space) and Anne (Anne Ma Designs) were also there and pretty much had the same experience as I.

I met a few cool peeps and there was even free wine (2-buck Chuck), beer and snacks. That was nice but it was kind of unnerving when someone would be shopping your booth with a large cup of alcohol teetering in their hand. I ended up leaving before the midnight end of the show since there was little happening.

This weekend is Felt Club XL. The pr has been fab-o-lous and even thought the booth sizes are tiny (4'x6') I have higher hopes.

I have a mention on the Sweet Juniper Blog Yeah!

Blankies and more

Here are some blankets that have been completed. Lots more styles will be available in soft flannels, cushy fleece and minky. Bibs and burb cloths are on the way too!

prices have been slashed!

Pretty much all the prices for zoomzabebe tees and onesies have been lowered. Tees that were $25 are now $20. Same for onesies.
I would like to clear inventory before the end of the year.
Don't forget the free shipping!

New stuff

I have made about 5 baby blankets and they are pretty darn cute, if I say so myself. They are all made with minky dot fabric that is sooo soft and cuddly. The first one I made was with red minky and a flannel that had circles on it. I will post some photos here later.

I got into the Holiday Felt Club XL show! It is December 9 at the Ukranian Center in LA. With Bazaar Bizarre the next weekend, December should be rockin.
