Still Standing (even if the ground is a little squishy.)

I finally got some appropriate work boots for working the Desert Homestead. (Took the photo myself. Boots by Sorel, first wear.)

Well, we’ve got some good news, some mediocre news, and some interesting misc on our small family business. Let’s dig into the latest update on everything!

WHERE’S MY ORDER?

I’m super excited to share that at the time of this post, our oldest order is 7 days old. This means we’re caught up on Dec-Feb orders for Sam Barsky and Picture This Clothing! YAY!

Open orders (March 2–8) *should* print Monday, then get cut, sewn, and shipped later this coming week.

It has taken us a while to get caught up, and our two primary machines are still down since the relocation of the shop to the desert homestead.

Our small company is still standing, my friends! Even though the ground is squishy. 😉

OH… WHEN WILL THE MACHINES BE BACK UP?

The timeline is still unknown, BUT

for the Monti: we’re basically awaiting an email response from one equipment supplier before we schedule the electrician and then the Monti-tech to come back out.
