Greetings family and friends. I've have been very busy lately. This past weekend I did the PA announcing for eight basketball games and a hockey game and still managed to turn out these two Christmas projects. The patterns are from Artist and designer Sue Mey. She is wonderfully talented and extremely creative. I am planning to make a serious investment in more of her patterns. The ones I have made in the past have been very popular and all have sold well. I already have a couple of people at my day job interested in these as soon as I put them on my desk.
Speaking of my day job an incident there today as re-emphasised the fact that it must go. I must get rid of it . I hate it. The people I work with there make it bearable but the company makes it a miserable existence. I confess I'm a conservative but I can see where these "occupy" whatever nuts are coming from. I've got to stick it out at least another year. I've got the date circled on the calendar for giving them the Johnny Paycheck "take this job and SHOVE IT" treatment.
In the meantime this business has got to get going far more than it is now. Over the next year there must be expansion and innovation. It cannot survive on just woodcutting alone. If I worked 24 hours a day I couldn't produce enough to sustain it. So the challenge will be to find ways to build and sustain a scroll saw business. Starting today I have 375 days to do it. Game On!
