Busy, Busy, Busy...

I apologize for not posting for awhile, but things around here have been rather busy with the new business my daughter and I have gotten into, which offers custom heat press vinyl designs.  We opened an online store on Etsy.com this past February and it's getting rather busy; at least we think so.  Even as I'm writing this I received a text asking about a particular shirt on the online store. :-)

We were asked a few weeks ago to come up with designs for a football youth league, which went over really well.  Everyone seemed to be very pleased with the designs we offered. 

We recently got an order from a business owner for decals for his truck.  This was the first time I had to try to come up with a 24" design consisting of 2 different colors.  I was concerned that it wasn't exactly what he wanted; however, he told my daughter he was very pleased with it.   

For those of you who are interested in visiting our online store, you can do so at AFamilyAffairBoutique.com.  Also, feel free to follow us on FaceBook.

On top of staying busy with the business, I'm in the process of trying to loose a bunch of weight.  I've been working with my physician since this past May, and though I've lost a few pounds (the doctor is satisfied), it's not coming off very fast.  I have a gym membership, but it's hard getting to go as often as I should.  I've also had several medical tests run due to being short of breath.  An echo-cardiogram and stress test are scheduled for the first week of October.

On top of that, the weekend of September 29-October 1 is my annual mini-vacation to attend the ScareFest convention in Lexington, Kentucky.  I'm really looking forward to it this year because it's their 10th anniversary and I'm looking forward to meeting several of their guests.  These include Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger), Danny Trejo (Machete), The Ghost Brothers, Tennessee Wraith Chasers, and 4 members of Mountain Monsters. 

I hope to do better in the future about posting here.  Thank you for visiting.

Busy, busy, busy...

It's been pretty busy around here trying to design shirts to add to our store, uploading them to our store, keeping our FaceBook page updated, and putting out orders for clients. 

 

Forty-one (41) designs were uploaded to our store just this morning, and we've got several more in the works.  Our designs range from monograms with or without frames and sayings & quotes to sports, animals and professions, just to name a few.

FYI...if you have an idea for a shirt, let us know.  We will try to see what we can come up with for you.  A picture of a shirt with the graphic for your approval.

I've been busy to say the least...

I realize it's been a couple of months since my last post, and for that I apologize.  It has been a busy 2 months and that is a good thing.  Since my last post, the heat press vinyl business my daughter, Bethany, and I started has mushroomed...and we're loving it.  We have blessed with a couple of businesses that want us to do their shirts for them, and for that I am forever grateful.  A couple of our customers wanted "awareness" shirts, one for cancer and one for Alzheimer's, and they both said they were extremely pleased with what we came up with.  Another customer has asked us this week to see what we could come up with for Myositis Awareness; she said what we came up with was perfect.

Bethany and I are already discussing upgrading our equipment to bigger sizes.  Just this morning I found a cutting machine that I really like and am going to see what I can do to save the money for it.  However, it will probably be after the first of the year before we get both it and a larger size heat press.  The dream of upgrading is something for us to look forward to.
