steveb leatherworks: the blather

Been behind the 8ball lately. Busy here, busy there…the proverbial chicken with no head….I passed myself coming while I was going…and didn’t recognize myself…hey now!

Been knocking ’em down in the shop..finally got a handle on what needed to get done and one of the first things to get done was this belt for Customer Ken. He was very patient, so patient that I rewarded him with a freebie – one of the rare as hens teeth SteveB t-shits. I don’t sell many of these shits, I wind up giving them away because I am not so much into selling schwag…where i come from, schwag is for those that are deserving…Ken showed huge class by not hounding me like a date gone bad…one little email..and that was it. I got the message and beat feet into the shop to make good…

Ken got his belt and shared this with me:
Hey Steve, just wanted to let you know that my package showed up today. The belt is bad ass. I’m looking forward to wearing it and showing it off. I imagine you’ll be getting a few more orders after my friends check it out. Thanks for the shirt and stickers too. Already slapped some stickers on my workbench and work truck. Looking forward to placing another order with you down the road.

So – as a matter of fact today – I went to the POB and shipped out a few packages to those special customers who’ve also been waiting. MarkG, CaseyO and ScottF – your stuff went out today…so everyone…just keep cool! I am back, focused and on it. I have to admit – this year has been a bitch so far…not so easy for a whole buncha reasons.

But – it’s looking better and better, with every day that passes.

To that point, I’d like to shout out to my friends Kirk & Lisa @ Custom Design Studio in Cali.
Stay strong friends, it’s all up from here…honest….
