Marketing 101

The last week for us has been an interesting experience in local marketing.  The Serving up Style event was unlike anything we’ve done before.  We didn’t fit in exactly as most of the booths were interior decorators and we were promoting physical items such as furniture, the teardrop trailer and …

Lessons from craft

Teardroppery

I spent the last month designing our teardrop camper in 3d. I finally had everything figured out to the most minute detail and took the camper apart and reassemble it in 3d computer space multiple times.  We spent a few days buying all the materials and were thrilled to finally …

Makers gotta make…

Ive been pondering this a lot lately. Pondering, but apparently not writing so much.  It was recently pointed out that the blog hasn’t exactly been updated with the frequency of old.  That likely has several reasons including the “normal” nature of our days and lack...
