On the Workbench…
Happy Friday! The end of February is historically a bit slow for Etsy orders so I have the opportunity to catch up on some projects, appointments and yard work. Tia Taide’s cabinet top and feets will finally get done (with photos next Friday).
My little brother Dave, the sports guru and author of the "Happy Hobby" Newsletter convinced me to try TikTok to promote my work. So I’ve been monkeying around with video clips showing how I carve my chopsticks and keychains.
My sister-in-law Shelby’s family paid a visit to El Cosmico in Marfa, TX and found my work at the campground there 😁. I have been wholesaling to them since 2013.
Sneak Peeks
Thanks for checking in. Here’s a view of this week’s Etsy orders.
For customers, this should ease your mind that your order is quite important to me and being attended to, not sitting on a clipboard or in the to-do pile. Also, if your order is being sent as a gift to a recipient at another address, you get to see it before they do.
For subscribers, this will give you an idea of the physical things I create and ship worldwide. They keep me sane and help me find my peace.
Every order is carved individually by hand, in the order that they are received. Some weeks are busier than others. I usually carve and ship within 3 to 5 business days.
Y’all have a FABULOUS weekend!
If you are enjoying what you see… I like it hot and black. 😉
