I thought I'd take a break from the daily grind to say Hi... This whole blogging thing is a bit new to me so you'll have to forgive any faux pas! However I had an appointment yesterday with a customer asking me about designing "a cross that's not a cross" She is a recently ordained minister and a friend of mine. However I am still truly honoured to be asked to design and hopefully to go ahead and make this, her first cross.
Of course things went a bit haywire in the middle of the appointment when my daughter's school phoned to say she had a sore tummy... I am afraid I was rather heartless telling them to send her back to class and I would come up to the school in due course to administer the appropriate painkillers. However it did cut things a bit shorter than I'd liked. Instead of going into the house for a coffee after the commission was discussed - I had to send my friend packing! She has children the same age though so understood completely.
I am however really excited by the whole design process, and coming up with an idea that my customer will want to purchase. Of course pricing the piece up I have just been given heart failure on finding out the price of gold these days. You can tell its a few years since I last ordered any materials as the cost of them has more than tripled. ZOIKS!!!
Wish me luck...
