I've been terribly busy writing emails, making phone calls and posting in numerous forums & threads around the net. So have literally hundreds of thousands of other crafters who are very concerned with this new law.
There's been progress!! Read about the latest information on my MKDesigner Website. There's a bill, now, in Committee to amend this ridiculously written law. It's sponsored by Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina and it can sure use our help! From the Etsy Thread:
S.374
Title: A bill to amend the Consumer Product Safety Act to provide regulatory relief to small and family-owned businesses.
Sponsor: Sen DeMint, Jim [SC] (introduced 2/4/2009)

Sen Vitter, David [LA] - 2/4/2009
