Still raising funds to save us before work kicks in next year. Still a lot on our plate. But we are fighting for it. Tess will likely never take commissions again, so my job is to make sure we get the back log out and everyone has access to digital versions of her work.
Guess who has two thumbs and has to raise 1k by the 28th And 3k by the 10th? Work will not begin again for me until next year so I have to try to save us while also handling shipping and re-lettering. We need help. Storage is at risk first. New sales incoming.
