I'm hanging in here, guys.
A lot's been going on the past couple of months. Of course a lot of you guys know we moved back in the end of May/early June. After that was settled, I quit my full-time job. Not a week after my last day at work, we got the news that Joe's grandfather had passed away, so we tripped up to Cincinnati, for the funeral and time with family over the holiday. Got to see my mom & family in Michigan, too, and our newest nephew born earlier this year.
Since getting back, we've had two conventions in a row- one in Jax, the other in Orlando- and we are finally getting a weekend "off." How far off still remains to be seen. :P
This week has been dedicated to attempting to finish unpacking. Just yesterday, I was finally able to hang some things on the walls. A lot of other things had been taking priority before settling the house.
Now, much of what needed to be settled, has been or shortly will be. After that, I will be able to resume full-time work on projects I have going. Some costume stuff, some jewelry stuff, some art stuff. A little bit of everything, really. But I do feel like I can finally breathe.
A couple of fun things coming up:
This fall we are hitting a couple of anime conventions with our jewelry. We'll have to see how that goes! We did well at Ancient City Con in Jax, so we've invested a little bit in spaces at EXP Con in St. Augustine, as well as Chibi Pa in West Palm Beach. Let me know if you're planning to go to either of those, and stop by to say hi!
Speaking of the jewelry business, we have a stronger online presence. You can watch us on Facebook under the name "Frozen Forge: Hand-Made Chain Maille Jewelry" and on DeviantArt as the user name "frozenforge". We have also expanded our selection on our Etsy shop, so check that out and favorite us there too: http://frozenforge.etsy.com
I'm also beginning more fursuit work. I have a few things I'm cooking up that you all will get to see. Right now I'm helping friends with adjustments, and finishing up some projects, so hopefully soon you guys will get some pics of new stuff.
A few weeks ago, I got an e-mail from an editor for Cookie Magazine, they wanted to photograph a wolf tail to use in an article for costume suggestions for parents, based on the movie coming out, "Where The Wild Things Are." She'd found my site and wanted to know if I could send one along to her. So I whipped out a child-size wolf tail and off it went! My tail will be shown in Cookie Magazine's issue that will be on news stands September 22nd. (Yes, my tail will be famous! Hehehe)
Alright, back to working on stuff... I have dinner to make and more pictures to get out of the way. And floors to vacuum. Ick! :P |
