It's time to ask Izzy....
Can you show us your friends at the factory?  How many work there?  What does it look like?

Thanks!

Curious in Columbus

Dear Curious, 

I have a lot of friends at the factory, more than 200; and we actually all went down to visit yesterday. I was a huge success; mom had me hanging out in the carrier the whole time and everyone said how comfortable and adorable I looked. Of course, they were right! I did manage to take some snap shots to bring back and share. This is the sewing room. They don't just make GEN-Y covers, they make all kinds of things here.
 

This is the cutting room. Everyone was at lunch, but they can cut hundreds of layers of fabric at a time on these tables.
 

And this is our spot in the storage room. Mom found some surprises. There was a lot of squealing and jumping up and down while she and Kristin looked through our stock. One of the rolls in this picture, previously only released as a Classic, is going to become a Universal cover. Which one, do you think?

Panda and Baby Kay are having lots of fun at GEN-Y HQ; right now we are visiting our friends at the small business next door. You can see the mountains from here, it is just beautiful in the spring time especially with all the dogwoods (our state flower) in bloom.

Wordless Thursday (ok, I know it is Friday; forgot to post this yesterday ;)

It's time to answer one of your questions...(or as Strongbad would say "Checkin' my email, checkin' my email.")





Hi Izzy,

Please would you ask your Mum how many universal and classic covers are made at each print run?

How many employees do you have?

What's your mum's favourite hobby?

Thanks

Love from Reuben and his Mummy!



Hi Reuben and Mum,

GEN-Y Classics at our warehouse

We get this question a lot! The answer really depends on the print. Some of the older classic prints, only 5-20 were made per size. We make more Ms and Ls than our other sizes, and the rarest GEN-Ys are Classic XLS... in most prints 10 or fewer were made. These days we make quite a few more classics, and many more Universals: usually around 200 Larges and 100 smalls. It is difficult to try and make sure there are enough for those who want them but that we can still do the wide range of prints we want.
 

I know, I rocked this shot

GEN-Y is a pretty small company. Elizabeth, Anne, Dawn, Jessie, Kristin, and Jenni make up the main GEN-Y force. Outside of that there are a lot of people who help make things happen, like our factory, photographers, and web designers. And of course adorable child models. You need a lot of those to make a company run.

 

These are the things my Mom loves enough to get bumper stickers for

My mom is kind of all over the place hobby-wise. One minute she is playing with her ducks and goats (we have a lot... they are pretty fun to play with) the next she is telling me that I can't move her shiny little Warhammer models out of their positions because she has know if her charge fails. We used to bake a lot of things like cookies and brownies together until she decided to replace all of that with veggies (something about "loosing the baby weight,") now we do a lot of gardening together. I do miss the cookies, though, so if you have any recipes for fun things we could make that would work with that diet, post them here! I mostly like eating the dough.... Mmmm... cookie dough ;)
