I’m in the process of making a few changes, one of which is a delivery fee if I’m bringing an order to you. Some people ruin things for everyone else, and this has been a long time coming, anyway. I have to take into consideration the amount of gas I use, the wear and tear on my car, etc. I haven’t quite figured out how I’m going to do it, and it’s been a difficult decision to make, but the audacity of customers sometimes pushes me over the edge. 🥴
I’m constantly trying to balance fair price to customers and making it worth it for me. I’ve been staying up until between 3-5 in the morning working on orders, and I’m still trying to catch up. On top of that, some customers haven’t been satisfied with their orders, so I’ve had to redo some work.
I would like to reiterate that I do everything by hand. I go to the lumber yard (bully the guys there until I get the perfect boards- they love to see me coming), haul the lumber home, measure out what I need, cut it down, sand it down (the worst), wood burn it (takes hours), stain it, paint it, letter it, detail it, seal it (multiple coats), add hangers to it, and THEN schedule a time for it to be picked up or delivered. I do not have anything on the perfection of a laser engraver or ChatGPT, none of my work is perfect (I’m constantly learning), but I do make everything from scratch and pack it with love along the way.
This sign was painted for a nursery. Originally, I was asked to paint the background light pink. I did so, but then I was sent photos of their adorable nursery and asked to paint it a dusty pink. She apologized profusely, but I honestly know better than to not ask someone to be more specific at this point. The shade of color matters, and I mixed this pink especially for this sign. Something I’m realizing I enjoy more and more is to take the time to mix together the color needed. I was able to hand the sign directly to the parents to be and that is always a good feeling to see someone’s reaction to my work. 🫶🏻
