Fathers Day Equals Soreness

I must say, I haven't been this sore in a while. First, my husbands commissioning ceremony was on a very hilly campus we had to walk across, twice, in heels, pushing a stroller. Ow. Second, in the last five days, I've made up 41 guitar picks, one dog tag, 20 charms, and several tiny tags. I never expected Fathers Day to be this busy!

Because of the demand for the guitar picks, there are now three separate listings.

One for the regular pick


One for the key chain


One for the necklace


I also made up two new items, one is a golf ball marker and the other is a personalized baby spoon.

There's always a story

The reason I love what I do, why I do what I do and why I'll continue to do it, the stories. The reasons behind each piece, custom or not, they're there.

The story may be mine that I'm sharing through what I've pre-made or it may be your own through something custom. There will never be a non-meaningful story. Last night, I was asked to create a very special ring. It's a family ring with a lost little one nestled in between an older and younger brother.





I also can't seem to keep the guitar picks in long enough! Haha, good thing 48 blanks are on their way. Looks like I'll need to get some more soon since 13 are already taken for one order and 5 more are taken for individual orders.

Working on Golf Ball Markers soon!

To Do List Friday?

I meant to put this up yesterday, but I didn't get to it on my To Do list, haha.

On the orders list we have:

20 discs
13 guitar picks
1 dog tag
4 tiny tags
Washers

This weekend will, hopefully, be a nice and relaxing one where I can get my work done and the hubby can watch Noah. Monday, I will officially be an officers wife! Yes, he commissions on Monday. I can't believe it!!

Anywho, I'm still trying to think of more Fathers Day ideas, so let me know what you've got in your mind and I"ll try to put it on metal!

Also, I got some feedback saying the cuff was a bit too light for a guy to comfortably wear, so, I dyed it! I think it looks like a tree from the way the dye dried.




I'm going to experiment with using some other plates on the cuffs as well to see what kind of cool things I can come up with.

Have an awesome weekend!

Anything look different?

My wonderful blog designer pulled off another fantastic set-up. I love it. It's modern, feminine and wide. Becca with Jumping Jax Designs does everything you can think of when it comes to designs. She does mommy/business cards, post cards, announcements, blog designs and Etsy set-ups. She's absolutely amazing!

I'm also working on some new designs (of course, I know) and they're all for Fathers Day!

So far, I have aluminum guitar picks and leather cuffs.




I'm also putting up some darker cuffs that I'm hand coloring. The first one I did, I'm in love with, it looks like a tree!

Fun Cuff!

Got a refill order from the first wholesale (woohoo!) and they got sent out this morning.







Working on Fathers Day gifts now! We've got some guitar picks, additional key chains and large cuffs coming! I'm also hoping to dabble in some leather and metal mixtures to see what awesome things we can come up with.

Hola!

It's been a while, I know. It's been crazy busy here.

Last week we had some storms and good weather, the rest of Mothers Day orders were going out and it was all over chaos. Things have slowed down now, so that's good. I can finally breathe and focus on two large orders that need to go out ASAP!

In my little spare time I have, I finally got the stick family necklaces made up! There's both nickel silver and copper with your choice of necklace. If no chain is requested, whatever is most on hand will be included.










They'll start being listed tonight!

Mothers Day = Busy!

I love the holidays requiring gifts ;-)

Averaging a sale a day has been keeping me very busy especially when those sales have been a lot of nests and tiny tags! Over 60 small discs have gone out and 80 are due in with another several needing to go out the next day.

One big reason for the high number on order is the stick family! I got the stamps in yesterday and made up a couple examples. I really love them and I hope you do too!
