The shop is
set up and I have been sewing like mad! Forty of the order of fifty five
halters are done, and only three more need sewn. The rest are sewn, but waiting
on the last three so I can burn the holes in the poll straps. Those should be
done by the end of the day tomorrow.
An order
for four more Flaming Star packs came in two days ago from Switzerland! That’s
an amazing order and I sure appreciate that they trust my skills enough to
order them!
The orders
for driving harnesses are coming in as well, I’ll be starting on the back log
of those on Tuesday and hope to have the back log of those finished by the end
of the week or early next week. One more came in late today!
While I am
behind yet, I’m gaining speed every day (eleven halters sewn today, and it was
a short day) and I am making progress. With the shop set up and working well, I
can concentrate more on the sewing and less on getting it organized.
Barb came
in yesterday, and of course arrived just as the snow storm did. With snow
coming out of the north and passing by at about 40 mph, it was Not fun getting
her trailer pulled in to place. But, she is now set up and all is working well.
If you have
been thinking about ordering any llama products, but were waiting for me to get
established and going, now is the time! While the wait might be a few weeks,
with more orders coming in, that wait might be longer if you delay making the
order!
I also have
some non-llama owning friends hinting that they have some projects they would
like me to make, and I’ll be working on a couple of those as soon as the back
log allows me Any free time!
Sounds like you might get to do some wood work in a month or two!
ReplyDeleteActually, the turning and carving club are doing a day long demo at the local lumber yard this coming Saturday... I'll get a bit of turning in during that!
ReplyDeleteMaking good progress, all steam ahead!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's the plan Gayle, that's the Plan!
ReplyDeleteWith Barb there helping you, you will have the business running smooth in no time. Thanks for getting the halters done. I will look forward to doing more business with you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Clint. Your order was helpful in that it gave me enough numbers of halters to do once to get a routine down. We are working on 6 harness orders now, that's also allowing me to get a routine down. And Barb is working on instructions with photos so that if I don't do any given item for a few months, I'll have references to go back to...that slows the process a bit now, but will speed it up later.
