I completed an interesting custom order from my shop today. A woman was throwing a "Chrismukkah" party, and wanted representative place cards for her guests. She requested their names, and simple little hand drawn doodles for the respective holidays. At first, I was pretty overwhelmed with the request, but soon found my stride. I fiddled with the drawings a bit, and found which black ink was waterproof once dry so I could watercolor the designs.
They actually turned out really cool with the holly and the dreidel. Hopefully the woman likes them!! She was willing to pay me quite a bit for my trouble, and I want her to be satisfied.
Jon gave me a belated birthday gift today! He got me a purse I've seen and loved on Etsy!! I have desperately needed a new purse, and spent forever dithering about whether I should just buy another cheap one, or spend more and get real leather and finer craftsmanship. I had kind of left it alone because the purse I liked was pretty expensive. And then lo and behold, Jon got it for me! It came from a seller in Poland, and they hand make each item, so it took a while longer than he had hoped.
It's beautiful and very well made. Happy Birthday to me!
