Well, some good news on the CPSIA front. Yesterday the CPSC granted a one year stay of mandatory testing for lead and pthalates for crafters, children's garment manufacturers and toy makers. This is good news for those of us who make items for children of fibers known to be lead free. This is a wonderful development in this story.

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) is proposing a change to this legislation to support small businesses. We all want to make sure our products are safe, and this will help us to better ensure we all comply with the law.
