Sold My First Tooled Dog Collar On Etsy!

[DoubleC]

Unfortunately I'm trying to marry custom with a business and that is a problem. I'm much too slow in my production right now because of all the different things I try. I think once I really get up and running I'll be able to settle into my original line of products and stay with those They'll still be custom but they won't be any project a person wants done. I have a hard time saying no to any new projects because I like doing different things. I'm in the process of making a new custom strap, finishing up a dog collar, and I just finished making me a messenger bag. That's kind of all over the map but I do have a couple of projects I'm working on that will be similar to each other for my etsy store and increase production time but I'll still primarily be doing custom work, and those will just be fillers I can work on when I'm feeling tired or not in a creative mood. There's room for all kinds of things when you work with leather and as long as I love what I'm doing I won't stop. Even things like the similar bracelets I'm going to be doing I love the part of sewing the lining on with my old Singer 28 hand crank machine. I really like doing that and use it most of the time because it does such a good job and it relaxes me. I have two other old Singer's I use too besides hand sewing. People keep telling me I can't use machines like the ones I have but they forgot to tell the machines and I have a love of old things. I'm so new to this work I'm still finding my way or more like letting a way find me maybe. Cheryl
