Swift and Sons Paracord

Happy Saturday! We are all set up at Woodlands Community Library and Your Place do pop by and have a chat, see what's available and help raise some funds for your local community.

Don't forget to join us at Woodlands Community Library and Your Place tomorrow 10-1 for their Christmas fair.
I'll be here with my books for my last event of the year. I'll be dragging Trev along with Swift and Sons Paracord and Jake is bringing some lego mini figures along too! So do pop along and say hi 👋

To keep the kids occupied at the weekend, they started on bracelets, Toby has now done his second tonight

Well I had a bit of creativity this weekend, I did Jake a Scouts lanyard for his knife and added some waterproof containers for the matches and tissue paper.

I then went onto a lanyard black and green, the idea was for the love of Kawasaki.

I may be back in the swing, it’s taken its time coming back.

Good morning, I hope your all well.
Sorry for the radio silence, you must know what I'm like by now, life and the day job take over, but I am still here in the background if you have any queries or requests, just give me a shout.

In the meantime, I've just packaged up this lovely blue and white dog lead to take a trip to school as a prize for the summer fair raffle 💙😀

Afternoon, hope your all enjoying this lovely weather.

Look what's finally arrived......
New business cards!

I'll be popping these In with orders but if you know of anywhere I can leave a couple to help me be seen please do give me a shout 😍

Morning you lovely lot,

I teased you a while back about my other home projects with little teasers of pictures, well the day has finally arrived, today the kids went to school as a book character from .................. yes the wizard of Oz, for those of you that guessed.

Toby with his home made Brain as the Scarecrow and Jake with his little stitched heart as Tin man, I think they look super, well worth buying my fingers a dozen times with hot glue lol.

Good afternoon,

Here are my finished projects from my revival, I’ve done QR coded items before, but I thought I would bring them back.

With the NHS track and trace QR codes and scanning them has become more of the normality in every day life, the QR codes are great for getting information across, these examples are for business sites, so a digital business card in your pocket or on your wrist, but they can also be used for dog collars and medical alerts.

I will follow this post with a video of them in use.

Morning you lovely lot, well I’m doing a bit of a revival, here’s a sneak peek of a little project for myself , will show the finished product later.

Good morning all,

I signed up for Google business and even though I can’t have the full set up due to not having a actual walk in shop for customers I can be found on Google and on Google maps.

Super excited to see 100 views of the web site, and was a little giddy when I was tracking a parcel and when it came up my street I saw my Business, oh the little things lol.

afternoon all,

Well I have always wanted to try a full dog harness and with the help of a friend, I managed to use their dog Red for a trial, thank you Vicci.

A few tweaks had to be made on site to get this to fit properly but it’s looking great now, this will be trialled for a couple of weeks to see if anything needs to be changed for future roll outs.

Went for a blue, white and black twist on white centred cord looking fresh and bright and it’s a good job the Paracord is washable.

Hmmmmm 🤔

Another picture for a follow up strange times ahead in the Swift household

Afternoon all, well it’s quiet on the Paracord front but it’s been a craft creation weekend ready for when the kids go back.

Can you guess what the theme is on the first day back, it involved, hot glue, cardboard, paint, and a popular children’s story book.

Afternoon all,

Well lazy Sunday today, bit of sorting and messing, Jake and Toby wanted new book bag Paracord Buddies and I’m playing around with some micro Paracord for lanyards and key chains.

Good morning all happy Friday, customer orders out the door today, dog leads with leather personalised name tags, some stunning colour choices.

Morning one and all,

Back to the Monday morning routines and the day job, but as I teased you all yesterday with the sneak peaks, here are the finished items.

We have 3 dog leads a full red cobra weave, a blue diamond and white, and a partial order of royal blue and purple with a leather name Tag weaved into top of the strap, I’ve got a second one to make to be able to complete this order.

The colours are really bright my favourite has to be the blue diamond and white, I do have a red diamond colour as well so I might make one of those up to see.

Have a great Monday everyone.

Afternoon all,

I hope you have had a chilled weekend I’ve been busy, remember my picture from the other day, well here are a few close ups of more work that was done in the Swift household.

All will be revealed tomorrow I have 3 completed products ready for delivery, 1 is a 2 part order which I will complete during the week.

Afternoon all,

Late starting today but a little sneak peak of a order, all in bits ready for some handmade magic, completed pictures to follow, keep your 👀peeled.

I’d say have a guess what it could be but I think it’s to easy

🤷‍♂️🤔🐶

Morning all,

Got 3 new commissions to do this weekend, 2 have a very special treat, once the come from the engravers, they are for some 4 legged friends, keep your eyes peeled.

Here are a few of the other pet friendly products.

Morning, thought I'd share a little order thats gone out this morning along with my snazzy stickers 😍
Hopefully they will love their order, as much as I loved making it.

-this colour is proving popular at the min, but there are lots of others available too, feel free to pop me a message with any requests.

Another order packaged and ready to hand over to the customer, this was a 26” Gas Detector Unit strap in red and white, their team colours, the white just absolutely popped with the red great choice of colours.

Don't these look amazing all lined up!
These were an order of children's bracelets in the birthday Boys team colours, they were used as party favours to go out in party bags for a sleep over party.

I loved making them as a bulk order.

If you have something in mind that you haven't seen on my page feel free to pop me a message. I'm always happy to chat about new 💡 ideas💡

Testing another product for work, a little strap to keep it all together, these pit keys have a little catch to keep a swing arm in place, once that goes the leg drops all the time making them a pain to use.

Testing time.

Happy 1st March.

Where has the sun gone?
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend.
I managed to get out with the boys for a walk as well as sorting g out a new colour chart of the paracord I have in stock (watch this space)

What did you all get up to?

Morning all,

Just a follow on from my last post, here is a GDU strap in use, different colours but same product.

Morning all, blast from the past with the military styled Paracord brackets.

Morning. Did you all manage to catch my post yesterday, its been a while.

I just realised I missed the youngest swift off my pictures 😬 so here he is, concentrating hard! 😍

It’s been a while, change of jobs has kept me away, but I’m back and back with a bang, have you missed me.

My day job is Telecommunications and I was asked to make Gas Detection Unit straps for a contractor in their company colours.

So as you can see these were simple 26” long straps with the snap hooks and curved buckles to allow the GDU to be clipped on and off and to fix to barriers.

Even Jake got in the act and had a go to rest my fingers a little.

All in all 20 were made these are one of the same designs and styles as the dog leads, so if your interested let me know.
