Today’s projects here include some time on the computer and some working with tools. It is a cloudy day and we are not getting any heat on the front porch, so whatever I do, with the bitterness of the cold outside, I’d prefer to work in the house. The next three days will be warm enough to get out and cut and split some firewood. Missus is fixing the warp on one of her larger inkle looms.
I am putting together an outline for a sort of ad to put up on the farm channel on YouTube. I need to know what I am planning on filming, and what I need to voiceover. I want to put together an ad for Antiquary Artisan that I can set up a QR code to lead people to it. Then I can put the QR code on some posters and fliers to put up around town and get people who are interested to come visit the video and see what we have got going. I then can update the video, I think, and change it when things change here, or when there is a new season upon us.
I’ve also put together a page for the website here that will explain the roadside offerings we will be getting fully into by springtime. We want to sell firewood, a bit of lumber, and do some milling on my end of it, and on her end, we have the shop, a share of the farm stand, and a little free library. Anything to encourage people to stop. Missus is a big believer in diversification.
Also today, I have a bit of work to finish up on my wooden candlelit chandelier. I need to put a small, short dado in the backs of all the stars, or maybe I can notch the end of each stick that will hold the stars even easier! Then I can just screw through from the bottom and into the stars to hold them on, along with some glue. That would be much easier. See? This is why I take my time and think. Come up with better ideas! And alas, it has just hit me!
So, now that that just got easier, I need to go get to work!
