cards arrived and are very nice looking. I am slowly working on orders and the logistics on how to make them work with the time and space available (mainly time constraints) so... back to work :} Also trying to get back to working on some online things on some parts of the week. new routine. hopefully it would stick within a week or so.
did not write in here in what seem to be years (might be years too) either way covid19 got me working on stuff offline (doesn't help that the kids were home till recently) slowly sorting out my stuff and I will start to be more online likely after the holidays so in September or later (realistically speaking). I just ordered new business cards so one achievement for me on the board I guess :} Hope everyone staying safe (and washing hands a lot :} maybe i should make soap for sale j/k)
