Learning the right mix

            It has taken some time, but I’m starting to learn the right mix of time for sewing things for Llama Hardware and doing wood working. At least a mix that is working for now. I have made a few small projects on the Rock Rabbit Enterprise side and have a couple more to do once the supplies show up.

            On the Llama Hardware side, the big order is finished and I’m working my way through the remaining orders. I have my first event coming up next weekend, an auction here in Montana. I won’t have much in the line of product to sell, but I’m making a couple dozen halters for the people doing the auction and will have a catalog (printed at home, not a “professional” printed one. I am thinking the face-to-face contact will be worth enough to make the 2 hour drive worthwhile.

            Barb and I start on the last complicated item to learn on Monday and I hope those go easy so I can complete the last of the back orders before heading out in mid June for a week’s vacation (planned before we purchased the business) and then the Llama Rendezvous in Estacada Oregon. I hope while I’m there I get to renew some old friendships with people I knew when I still owned llamas and was attending other Rendezvous, and get to  make some new friends that were not into llamas at the same time we were.

            Along with getting back into the llama world, I am being pulled back into the writing business. I’m working on an article for Leave No Trace for The Back Country Llama that will appear in the fall issue.

            Funny how the direction of our lives makes twists and turns, and spin back on its self if you give it enough time.
