Well it was a very busy Halloween season here at Ma Cobb's Hat Shoppe. I think there must have been quite a few Jaynes out there trick-or-treating this year... or perhaps it'd be more Jayne-like to be intimidatin' and steal candy from the trick-or-treaters... Whatever the case may be, the Jaynes were out in full force this year, which meant for a very busy October, and thus my lack of blogging.
Another thing keepin me busy this past month has been the launch of my brand new site with a new design! Now you can find me at MaCobbsHatShoppe.com. Take a perusal and let me know what you think. :)
I've also launched a few new products on etsy! I plan to go into more detail in future blogs, but I've added a few new rubber stamp designs, as well as a new Jayne-inspired cowl. Most notably, I've also added a few new button sets designed by fellow Browncoat Elizabeth! Check out the very fine designs in my shoppe here. More details and posts to come.
Also look forward to my ever popular "Christmas shipping deadlines" post in the next few days. Looks like you'll be hearing a lot from me in the next little bit. We must make up for lost time. ;)
Stay shiny,
Love,
Ma Cobb

More Cunning Browncoats in Very Fine Hats
Today's customer appreciation photos come from two very cunning Browncoats:
Here is a very happy Robert.
And Ma Cobb's Hat Shoppe got a "thumbs UP" from Butterguy.
Thank you both! :)

Last Weekend for Holiday Shoppers
Get your Christmas gifts while you can!
Just a quick reminder that this is the last weekend to order your Jayne hat or buttons in order to receive them in time for the holidays! Of course, my fellow Canadians still have a couple extra days left. ;)
I will still be knitting and taking orders, so no worries to those of you ordering non-holiday items.

Reminder For Christmas Holiday Shipping Dates
There are only a couple weeks left to order Jayne hats and buttons so that they will ship in time for the holidays, and I just thought I'd pop in and put up a little reminder about these dates. These are suggested mailing dates, and with occassional customs hold-ups for orders going outside of Canada, it's important to order early if you want guaranteed delivery for your Holiday gift-giving. So here they are:
Expedited within Canada: Dec 12th-22nd (depends on location, if you're in a remote community, or outside of Ontario, err on the side of caution)
Airmail to the USA: Dec 9th
Airmail to the UK & Europe: Dec 8th
Airmail to Australia: Dec 8th
Airmail to Everywhere else: Dec 1st-8th (depending on your country)
With that said, of course I will still be knitting and shipping Jayne hats after these dates, so if you're not worried about getting them in time for the holidays, then just ignore my frantic worrying. ;)

Milestones
Howdy friends of Ma Cobb,
Things have been bustling around here! I'm fair certain that the Christmas shopping season is in full-swing here on the cortex... or at least at my little shoppe. I'm not nearly as prepared as I wanted to be, but I think that's only because I have underestimated just how busy things can get. But I am wholly enjoying the busy-ness (business? lol). And I'm not frantic... yet. Also: I am so grateful for early Christmas shoppers! Thank you all!
So a couple of little milestones happened this week. First of all I wore out my first pair of knitting needles! Well, okay, it's not like they're completely worn down to the nubs or anything, but they got a couple little cracks and started splitting a bit and kept catching the yarn, kind of like a hang-nail. My diy patch-job with pink nailpolish really wasn't cutting it, so I decided that with 300+ Jayne hats under their belts, it was probably time to retire my much-loved needles.
Which brings me to my second milestone: 300 Jayne hats! Yes folks, that's right! I have passed the 300 mark! There are over 300 Browncoats walking around in the world wearing one of my cunning knit Jayne hats! Well maybe they're not wearing them right this minute, but... you get my point. The number isn't completely accurate, as I didn't start keeping track until sometime in 2005 when I started selling them (at that point I had already knit a good little number for friends and local Browncoats).
Anyway, I thought that was an interesting tidbit, for those who like to keep track. It's funny, but 300 seems simultaneously like soooo many, and yet not that many at all. Is that weird? I've been doing this for awhile now, and yet I can't even imagine what all those hats would look like if, say, they all got together to hang out, or something... But then again, maybe my sleepiness is making my brain-pan a little whimsical. So perhaps I will turn in for the evening.
See you in the world,
Love,
Ma Cobb

Suggested Mailing Dates for the 2008 Holiday Season
Well, despite the lack of updates, I thought it was probably a good idea to let everyone know that I am back from my little weekend away, and finally just starting to catch-up from my weekend without knitting. It was indeed a nice little break, but I got back feeling a bit panicked as this past week was hectic with keeping up with orders (of the Jayne hat and button variety). But I gave myself a bit of time this weekend and I'm pretty much all caught up now(or ahead of the game, in some cases), so let the Christmas Orders begin... or continue, as the case may be. :) Thankfully there are quite a lot of on-the-ball Browncoats out there who have already started their Christmas shopping. Despite not being much of an advance-Christmas-gift-buyer myself, I do salute those that are staying ahead of the game. It makes things quite a lot easier for me, and all of us who make hand-made items perfect for gift-giving.
Speaking of Christmas, I've been meaning to post the Suggested Mailing dates for the 2008 holiday season. Unfortunately Canada Post is being a bit cagey, and they're not posting the dates for packages that are being sent to the US via Small Packet Air, which of course is my main shipping method. They're also not giving dates for Expedited within Canada (my second most frequent shipping method). This is so frustrating! Sometimes I just don't understand Canada Post. And going to the Post Office every day, I've heard much the same thing from my Postal Workers! Anyway, the following are the best guesses that we could come up with:
Expedited within Canada: Dec 12th-22nd (depending on location, if you're in a remote community, or not in Southwestern Ontario, err on the side of caution)
Airmail to the US: Dec 8th-9th
Airmail to the UK & Europe: Dec 8th
Airmail to Australia: Dec 8th
Airmail to Everywhere else: Dec 1st-8th (depending on your country)
As I've stated, these are just our best guesses, and should make it on time. I suggest ordering early in order to guarantee your package gets to you before the holidays. If you miss these dates, or it's close and you want it guaranteed to reach you on time, these quicker (and more expensive methods) are also an option. Just email or write a note to me while checking out and I can upgrade you and send you a paypal invoice for the extra shipping:
Xpresspost to the US: Dec 15th (approx. $20 for shipping depending on location)
Xpresspost within Canada: Dec 22nd (approx. $20 for shipping depending on location)
Xpresspost to Europe, Australia, & Everywhere Else: Dec 12th (approx $32-$55, depending on location! Quite pricey!)
So, there's good news in there, and there's bad news. I wish that I could control the Post, but sadly I am just a little Jayne-hat-knitter, and I can only bend to the whim of Canada Post. Please let me know if you have any questions whatsoever, and I'll do my best to answer them (or find out from my trusty Postal Workers).
Stay shiny, and order early!!
Love,
Ma Cobb

A Quick Break To Bring You These Messages...
Well, I've had very little blogging time on account of having to keep my fingers busy knitting, but I thought I'd pop by with a little insight into my life these days, and here it is, in one word: BUSY!
So here are a few pictures of hats that have been claimed by their future owners! They are all ready to ship out and go live new and exciting little lives with their new and shiny owners! If you look closely you can tell how happy they are to be the chosen ones (wait... wrong show)! You can even tell through the cardboardy boxes that they're in.
The other two little hats sitting there were very jealous of their brothers and sisters, who got to be nestled in straw and sent with love through the Alliance Postal Service. But fear not for those lonely two who got left behind. They too have found happy homes, and are now on their way to their new owners as well!

Ma Cobb to the Rescue!
I had this whole elaborate tale to tell about how frustrated I get when sellers won't ship to Canada, or when they completely overcharge for shipping to Canada (or my favourite excuse: when sellers don't want to have to go to the PO to ship International First Class packages! That's my biggest pet peeve! I go to the Post Office just about everyday! You don't see me complaining! Grr!). But alas, I don't want to dwell on snarkyness and frustration on this fine Tuesday afternoon. So I'll move on to something a little bit more fun!
I went to one of my favourite conventions this summer: Fan Expo in Toronto, and besides seeing some very awesome special guests (Renee O'Connor, Kristy Swanson, Brent Spiner, Edward James Olmos (from afar) and The Fonze! to name a few), I also came across this little booth that was making Super Hero Cards.
So I present to you: Ma Cobb: Super Hero!
So, okay this one I wasn't very prepared for, so it's not my favourite. Although I guess I'm somewhat "known" as a Jayne hat Knitter in the TO area, well... it doesn't exactly go with the theme now, does it? Plus the girl made me wear this creepy mask which wasn't very Ma-Cobb-esque. So I went back with a friend later on in the weekend and I got this one done up:
This one's a bit more flattering, in my opinion, and I like that my power is that I "knit VERY fast". Hee hee. If you knew how many Jayne hats I've knit in the past month alone, you'd probably start to wonder if maybe I'm not specially gifted somehow. I'm waiting for Heroes to introduce a character with my ability. But alas, perhaps knitting is a bit too mundane for prime-time television. It might come in handy though, if your name is Ma Cobb...

Hey all!
***Update on Can't Stop the Serenity***
The Toronto Browncoats held the annual Can't Stop The Serenity Screening on Saturday June 21st, and I am very happy to say that the Jayne hats donated by Ma Cobb's Hat Shoppe raised a total of over $250 for the charity auction for Equality Now!
That is so shiny!
And the totals are finally in! they're still a bit preliminary, but it's lookin' like we've raised a whopping :::$6,560.00!::: at the Toronto Screening for Equality Now this year! That's even more money raised than last year! And even more tickets sold! This thing just keeps getting bigger! I am so proud to be part of such an awesome crowd of Browncoats!
I just wanted to say a big huge thank-you to everyone who was involved with Can't Stop the Serenity this year, not just in Toronto, but all over the world! Thank you to all the organizers, volunteers, donaters and even those who bought tickets, t-shirts, and swag! Without all of you we couldn't be as mighty as we are (and we are!). So thank you all!
Much love, and stay shiny!
Love,
angela aka "Ma Cobb"

Can't Stop the Serenity Screening in Toronto (and around the world)
Ni hao all you Browncoats out there!
Well, things certainly have been happening here at Ma Cobb's Hat Shoppe, and I haven't had the time to update! I've been working on some very exciting new surprise goodies to send along with every hat order! I won't give it away, but lets just say my packages are looking more and more authentic these days! And all my hats will now be accompanied by some very exciting 'verse-related swag! No, there won't be any black market beagles in there, or wobbly-headed geisha dolls, but I assure you that if you are a Browncoat, you will be excited! So go ahead and order a Jayne hat, and see what you might get! :)
In other news, the Toronto gang of Browncoats are busily organizing this year's Can't Stop The Serenity screening, and you're invited! Ma Cobb herself will be donating hats for the cause. Even if you're not in the Toronto area you can support Equality Now by attending a screening in your area! Check out Can't Stop The Serenity to find an event near you! There is so much great stuff to be won folks! You really don't want to miss it! Alright, last but not least, I have also opened up a shop on etsy.com, which is website for all things artsy & craftsy & handmade. You can check me out at fadingendlessly.etsy.com to see all my 'verse and non-verse related items. I will still be selling hats at www.geocities.com/fadingendlessly, but I just thought I'd branch out a bit and share my other crafts to them that need them. So please feel free to take a look around, and let me know what you think! Also, please join the Ma Cobb group over on facebook! Ma Cobb would love to have you!
Well, I think that's all for now. Please come out and join your fellow Browncoats for Can't Stop the Serenity screenings at the end of June! It's all for a good cause!

hey all!
I just thought I'd pop by again and let everyone know that it looks as if the Toronto "Can't Stop the Serenity" Charity Screening is GO for 2008! The date and details haven't quite been set in stone as of yet, but it should be sometime around the 23rd of June 2008 (Joss's birthday, and the anniversary of the Serenity pre-screenings). I'll keep ya'll posted once the date gets closer. And of course you can always check the link above for more details as well.
Ma Cobb's Hat Shoppe will be donating a few hats to the cause again this year, and it looks like it's going to be quite a shiny shindig indeed, with many great door prizes, an auction, goodies, and more! So if you're in the Toronto area, please come and join in the fun! All funds raised will be donated to a worthwhile charity: Equality Now!
And don't forget to tune into Space: The Imagination Station this afternoon at 5:30 to catch a glimpse of Ma Cobb's Hat Shoppe. or if you miss that, it airs again tomorrow at 8:30am and 4:30pm.

Christmas Shipping dates
Hey all,
Here's the promised update on suggested shipping dates for the holiday season. These are the dates that hats must be shipped by in order to reach you before Christmas. This means you should probably put in an order with me BEFORE these dates. The following dates are all Airmail dates (Surface shipping dates have already passed):
Within Canada: Dec 11th
Airmail to the US: Dec 10th
INTERNATIONAL:
Europe/Australia/New Zealand/Asia/Middle East Air: Dec 3
Africa/Central and South America Air: Nov 26
Please remember that these are only suggested ship-by dates and are not at all guaranteed. My suggestion is order early :) and of course if you've missed these dates and you are willing to pay a bit more for faster shipping, just let me know where you are, and I'll quote you a faster shipping price.

Toronto "Can't Stop the Serenity" Charity Screening
Well, the Christmas rush is well over, but I'm still knitting up Jayne hats like a mad-woman, so please feel free to keep on sending those requests!
I also have an exciting new announcement regarding the Toronto Charity Screening of Serenity on Saturday June 23rd at 1pm at the Regent Theatre: two of my Jayne hats will be featured as door prizes to be raffled off! I am so excited to be a part of such a worthwhile event for the second year in a row! Besides some very awesome prizes, t-shirts, posters and other goodies, all proceeds from the screening will go towards Joss Whedon's favourite charity Equality Now!
Admission to the event is $12! To find out more info, or to get tickets in advance, visit www.canadianbrowncoats.com. Or you can visit www.cantstoptheserenity.com to find a charity screening in your area! It's all for a good cause!
Also, I will be at the event with a couple extra Jayne hats in tow, so if you want to pick one up directly from me there, you can send me an email (fadingendlessly[at]gmail.com) to let me know you want one, and we can work out the details.

Christmas shipping
Happy Holidays to all you Browncoats!!!
Just thought I'd post a little update to say that at this point, any new orders that come in CANNOT be guaranteed to be delivered before December 22nd (the last mail delivery before Christmas). If you would like express shipping (Purolator International to the US, or Xpresspost/Priority Courier within Canada), please email me (fadingendlessly[at]gmail.com) and I can quote you a new price, and send you a new PayPal link, if you're interested. Please Note, however, that you should let me know BEFORE December 18th, so I have time to actually KNIT you a hat! ;)
Thanks again guys!!

Jayne Hats & The Toronto Serenity Charity Screening
Almost exactly a year after the first wave of Serenity pre-screenings, Toronto Browncoats are gathering for another big-screen viewing of our favourite movie: Serenity. My Jayne hats will be featured as a raffle prize this month in Toronto at Serenity Now/Equality Now: a world-wide, big-screen charity screening of Serenity to raise funds for Equality Now (one of Joss Whedon's favourite charities).
The Toronto screening will be hosted by the Toronto chapter of the Canadian Browncoats, and takes place at 4pm Saturday June 24th, 2006, at The Royal Cinema (608 College Street, Toronto). Please join us and help us raise money for a worthy cause!!
More details about Serenity Charity Screenings taking place in Canada, including Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal is available at www.can'tstoptheserenity.com. For information regarding Serenity Charity Screenings worldwide, please visit the Serenity Now/Equality Now website.
Here at Ma Cobb's Hat Shoppe we are committed to providing quality orange-ish hats to all of our customers.
I'm still taking orders, and churning out hats, even though there's been quite a lull since the Christmas rush, so keep the orders comin'!
Hats are a facimile of the hat that Ma Cobb knit for her son Jayne Cobb for his travels through the 'verse on the Firefly Class transport vessel Serenity in the aptly titled Joss Whedon television show Firefly (airing in syndication The Sci-Fi Channel in the U.S. and The Space Channel in Canada).
My hats were a smash hit at the Toronto super-con SFX/The Canadian National Exhibition, where they were being sold for charity by the Canadian Browncoats at the Serenity fan-table.
Go here to see a short excerpt from the Space channel's HypaSpace program, in which they did an interview with Adam Baldwin about the orange hat. Yours truly can also be seen acting like a complete dork in this video. Hint: I'm the one in the orange hat! Thanks to Rob, my fellow Canadian Browncoat, for sending me the video!
Also, if you are Canadian and a Browncoat, you might want to consider joining up with some fellow Canadian Browncoats. Meet some other wacky (but not scary) flans, win some very shiny 'verse-related prizes (posters, t-shirts, and swag) and even attend some mighty fine Shindigs in your area! We have a very friendly community, so feel free to join us! Everyone is welcome! We almost never throw anyone out of the airlocks, promise! ;)
