Holiday Season Suggested Shipping Dates
The holidays are approaching. I can hear Santa's sleigh bells already!
Anyway, I digress. It is time for me to announce the Annual Holiday Season Suggested Shipping Dates. These are the last dates that your package should be shipped if you want to get it in time for Dec 25th.
Now these are just suggested dates. Canada Post isn't making any guarantees about anything, and neither am I! ;) There is probably a little bit of lee-way in these dates, but please do remember that mailing items around the holidays usually takes a bit longer than normal, so the more wiggle-room the better. :) That means order early if you want your items in time for Christmas.
Yes folks, as much as you would like to deny it (personally I live in denial), it's that time of year again! The one where Santa boards his big red Sleigh, and packs it full of toys for all the good little girls and boys. This also coincides with the time of year where I stand in line at the Post Office everyday, my arms full of presents for all the good little Browncoats... Coincidence? Wait, am I saying that I'm some kind of Santa Claus?? I'm not really a fan of beards (unless you count Wheezy Waiter...).
Anyway, I digress. It is time for me to announce the Annual Holiday Season Suggested Shipping Dates. These are the last dates that your package should be shipped if you want to get it in time for Dec 25th.
US: Thursday Dec 10th
CANADA: Friday Dec 18th
INTERNATIONAL: Tuesday December 1st

Cunning Hand-Knit Cowl from Ma Cobb
So my first real post in forever is going to be about one of the very fine new items available at Ma Cobb's Hat Shoppe, and that is my Jayne-inspired cowl!
Cowls have been very popular on etsy this season, so I figured my little guy would be an excellent addition to the mix. And then what do you know, I've been featured in another gift guide on etsy! Well, I was pleased as punch when I noticed that, so I just had to share with anyone and everyone! Take a gander at all the pretties available:
Anyway, while I'm at it I might as well give you all the little features of my darling new cowl! It's made from an uber-chunky, super-soft wool/acrylic blend, and the colours (as well as the yarn) are a little bit different than my regular acrylic Jayne hat. These are super rich and delightfully soft. Perfect for nuzzling against your chin and neck!
I was so happily surprised to find my little guy nestled in with all the other fantastic items that can be found in the gift guides. It really is gratifying to be honoured like that. It's even great just to know that you must be doing something right... ;)
So with a wink and a nudge, I will leave you to this fabulous fall afternoon.
Take care, and stay shiny!
Love,
Ma Cobb

Busy little beavers...
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. ;)

Ma Cobb's Hat Shoppe going to Can't Stop the Serenity!
Ni hao all,
Just wanted to remind everyone of this weekend's Can't Stop the Serenity screening in Toronto! I am So Very Excited! :) Me and my hats and my buttons will be there, so this is the time to let me know if you want me to bring anything extra special just for you (and save yourself some shipping!).
This also means that I will likely be away from the cortex for most of the weekend (from Friday till Sunday), but rest assured that any orders recieved from Thursday to Sunday will be promptly shipped on Monday. So technically today (Wednesday) is the last day to order anything that will be shipped out this week (tomorrow). So get your orders in now, while the getting is good.
And if you're not in the Toronto area check out cantstoptheserenity.com for a Serenity screening near you! All proceeds go to charity, so it is always a good cause, as well as a good time. Equality Now thanks you! And those of us that work really hard to put these Screenings together thank you as well! :)
Until next week! Remember: you can't stop the signal!

April Free Give-Away Is Brought To You By...
So before I step away from the Cortex for the weekend I wanted to send out a broadwave and announce the monthly free give-away for April.
This month's give away is brought to you by... Kaylee, Jayne, Wash, River, Mal and Firefly/Serenity. Or more specifically this month's give-away is brought to you by the new quotes buttons in my shoppe! All you have to do is purchase something (anything) from my Etsy shoppe! Choose your three (3) favourite quotes from the above quote sets in my shoppe and enter them into the notes to seller as you're checking out on fadingendlessly.etsy.com, and I will send them to you with your purchase! Easy as lyin'! ;)
Hopefully this little give-away will tide you over in anticipation of the release of the rest of my quotes button packs (Simon, Inara, Book & Zoe), which should be released sometime next week, along with the announcement of the winners of the Quotes Contest!
And just a reminder that I will be away for this weekend (Apr 3-5th), so your free buttons will likely be shipped on Monday or Tuesday of next week.
Keep flyin,
Love,
Ma Cobb

Ma Cobb away from the Cortex for the weekend
Just a quick note regarding shipping this weekend:
Ma Cobb is going to be away from the cortex for the weekend (April 3rd-5th), so I may not get a chance to respond to all convos/emails during this time. Orders will still be taken however, and they will be shipped out in a timely manner either on Monday or Tuesday. Thanks so much for your patience! :) Things will get back to normal next week.
Also, a moment of silence in memory of Andy Hallett (aka "Lorne" from Angel), who passed away this past Sunday. He was 33.

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...

It's a new-fangled blog-type-thingy
What is a blog without a post? Is it still a blog? The age-old question. I'm not sure if I know the answer. But I came here to blog, so I best get blogging. This is my first blog. Awww... There will likely be more to come. More about my little corner of the cortex that I call Ma Cobb's Hat Shoppe. But until then, I'll just say...
Keep flyin,
Love,
Ma Cobb
