Curtains look nicer outside

There are apparently some issues with links in the last post that I can't figure out. Oh well.



Check them out here.

I attended the Etsy Labs seminar on 10 Minute advertising today. The 10 minute part applies to how long it would take to advertise, not the length of the seminar which I snuck out of after about an hour. Some useful things, some not. "Blog" kept coming up, you can categorize that as useful or not yourself.

Here's the awe inspiring new product TealTown offers. This project was what inspired me to start this blog. My intention was to catalog the entire process from start to finish with photographs and descriptions, but Sam and I were so excited about it we rushed through the last week and had it done before I even sat down to type. These things look fantastic in our living room and I'm having a hard time finding a place to keep the custom screen I made to print it with, seeing as it is roughly 4 feet by 3 feet, which would be equivalent to an extremely obese square child.

Hopefully I will catalog our further endeavors the way I meant to do this one.

Upcoming Projects:
Octopus T-Shirt
Guitar Hero 3 faceplates
More curtains, different designs

In the beginning

We aren't starting from the beginning. We're actually starting from somewhere near the beginning, but before the middle. Honestly, I'm not sure where we are. But that's not important.

I've started another blog because that's what you do with blogs. You write diligently for 6 weeks tops and then you go out of town for a weekend and when you come back you realize that you aren't a writer. But that's not important either.

What's important is that I told my wife I would do this.

We recently started our own shop at TealTown. If you've never been to Etsy you should go right now. It's okay, I'll wait. Just be sure to come back.

Welcome back. It's okay, I knew you weren't going to follow the link, so I'll tell you that it's a site that hosts stores for people who make handmade items of all kinds. That way those crafty types out there can try to make enough money to buy their crafty craft materials.

We do all kinds of things. I screenprint and design T-shirts and the like, the wife is a photographer and idea (wo)man and knick-nac crafter. She's constantly coming up with new ideas. I plan on dedicating a large portion of this blog to cataloging the thought process, brainstorming and techniques we use to create our merchandise. I'd like to give our customers an inside look at the life and craft of a couple of newlywed 20 somethings trying to live off of Wii and spaghetti all the while surviving college. Not to mention shamelessly plugging our shop and items.
