If their logo is unique to them then you cannot use it any old way without incurring the wrath of khan coming down on your head. You can only use it on products for them with their permission

PS; by keeping the stamp you sort-of insure they have to come back to you for other orders. If they have the stamp they can go to someone else for orders

Thanks, I do appreciate that's the normal way. But if they wanted to make it in their store themselves, I'd help him set up. If they wanted to have a copy of the stamp to use themselves, glad to let them.

I'm the opposite of territorial in this case.

That's called working yourself out of a job lol. But I admire your attitude. Me, I could not, would not sit and make fobs all day. I can't do monotonous in any form. Right now I am down 2-0 on making a credible pair of moccasins, but i am gaining lol. My sole form worked well, but it's a bit too small, and the pattern I am using has some minor issues that I need to change.

Well chuck, the hot  weather has well and truly kicked in .40 degs + , today and next week, whatever  that is in F's .

Just as well I'm having  our air cond upgraded tomorrow.  Our local sparky  is doing the installation. 

No doubt its getting quite cold where you are .

Just 2 more markets to go and that's it until next year.  Looking so forward to a nice break tbh.

Stay safe,

We've got snowmageddon here this week, and temperatures as low as -15 C. And it's not even officially winter yet!

Well the one upside to it is I guess it's going to be a white Christmas!

I wasn't going to, but did want to dip a toe into the market. I'll give it a whirl, and see if it's worth it. Probably not, but then again, you don't know til you try.

I'm going to do a bunch of sanding, to prep a pretty house for its first coat of paint. Also monotonous, but I'm looking forward to it. I find some of that monotony soothing.

@Sheilajeanne i showed that pic to my elderly  Father, he was quite amused at the snow on the barby ( we put steaks and snags on ours , lol),while we were having our new air cond installed this morning, its working beautifully.  While it was 40+ outside, it was a lovely 24 degs C inside. Bliss  😊 

It's going to get hotter in the  next few months no doubt . To be expected  .

hows that AC, that will make life so much nicer. It's not to cold yet, we are getting some southern winds keeping it in the 40s, but the winds are hellish with 40 mph constant and over 70 mph gusts. in the last three days, 16 semi trucks have been blown over on the interstate here. The roads have been closed to light trucks under 50,000 lbs, so those who try to cheat also get a ticket after getting blown over, lol. The break will give you time to enjoy some of your summer, especially with a new AC.

 So I was working on my mocs yesterday, went to apply the nfo, took off the top, set it down,  reached over it to grab a paper towel, knocked it over , glug glug, set it back up cussed like hell,  reached over it to grab a paper towel, knocked it over, glug glug....... 

You can guess what happened next lol—going to buy more NFO today and paper towels.

Say hi to Pops for me and have a great day!!

HS, along with the cold weather, my furnace broke down!  Ok, it could have been worse - the furnace wasn't totally dead -  but still, 14 C. in my bedroom is NOT something I'm okay with! I had so many blankets on the bed I could barely turn over!

Luckily, my furnace guy was able to come and fix it without delay, and it was an easy fix. 

Speaking of  BBQ's, my sister-in-law has only been able to round up one of her three children for Christmas dinner, which means we'll only be celebrating with 4 people. That's not enough to make the effort of cooking a turkey worthwhile, sooo my brother will be firing up the barby. Yep, steaks for Christmas!
