Apparently we had a legitimate blizzard this weekend. We got over a foot of snow in one day and it was pretty awesome. I'm of the opinion that if it's going to be ass-cold, it might as well snow.
Mike came over on Friday and the snows came and he stayed on the couch because the roads weren't all that great. We woke up to the most snow we've had in years. The neighbors down the street had a guy out with a snowblower going over the sidewalks and their driveways, he even did a little path to the main road for them. He didn't come down to our house so I attacked the snow with a broom to get Mike's car out so we could go to Kroger.
We came back and spent all day playing games and I made a new screen and made up some shirts. I can't find the little Kodak camera and the other one doesn't appear to be working with my computer today so I can't load some pictures I snapped of the design in the mirror. I'll have to wait for Sam to get up to get some pictures.
One good thing about snow: it makes an excellent light reflector. We can take pictures in the house now as long as the sun is shining down on that lovely snow.

Winter come late
It's snowing today. Last weekend it was almost warm, and today it is snowing. Oh well. We were planning on traveling to Milford this weekend because it's been a while since we visited. Plus we need to deliver some curtains to Sam's sister and to pick up a copy of TurboTax my Dad bought for me.
We haven't uploaded any new designs in a while, mostly because we kept thinking we'd wait until the sun came back and then we'd get some nice pictures. Well, turns out that when the sun comes out we end up playing outside and don't really work on anything so we're working on new designs now. Hopefully we'll get some fresh stuff up soon, we'd like to have new designs before the Craft Affair on March 29th. I think it would be a good place to launch some fresh ideas and get some immediate reactions from customers.
I know, I know... half of this blog is promising new designs and the other half is talking about how we don't put up new designs often enough. In the eternal words of Everlast: "It ain't easy bein' greasy."
What that has to do with it, I'm not sure, but it's bound to be poignant to someone.
The fighting koi design I finished a while ago and never printed.
I drew the koi by hand, the cherry blossoms are digital.
Perhaps it will find its way to a t-shirt someday.

Craft Affair
We've signed up for a art/craft show on March 29th in our new little hometown, Oxford, Ohio, home of Miami University.
It's being put together by a student group on campus called Green Oxford. They've set aside the park uptown for the event and it's sure to be a fantastic day. The application was the easiest thing I've ever done: a simple e-mail with a few tid-bits of information about us and what we do with a link to our site. They sent back a reply and that was that, they're not even requiring a booth fee, probably because the venue has been donated - the park has a lot of events during the warmer months like free concerts, student organization meetings and the such.
This is going to be our first show and we're really excited to get everything ready and see how the whole show scene turns out. I'm fairly confident that we'll have a fantastic time and I'm hoping to see a few fellow Etsians that are coming. It will be nice to finally meet some of the people I've met through Etsy and especially to see all the fine handmade merch that will undoubtedly be in tow.
If you'd like to participate all you have to do is e-mail the people at Craft Affair: craftaffair@gmail.com for more info. If you do come, be sure to stop by TealTown Ink's booth and introduce yourself!
