Slow MoJo over ThanksGiving

Well, it's Cyber-Monday and we're starting to make the push of getting back into our usual routines.  Ugh!  Over the four-day holiday, Adam and I had hoped to utilize our home shop time to the max; cranking out as much new product as possible.  All that seemed to be accomplished was a desk re-finishing project, which we were able to bring to the store on Saturday.  Other than that, Adam admitted last night (as we were returning from another Thanksgiving function) that he felt so let down because nothing really had been completed for the store.

Apparently, Adam had been wanting to finish the dual-slab, live-edge dining table that we had designed, also wrap up another live-edge piece being a coffee table along with custom cutting boards, dining chair re-do's, an MCM desk paint-out, and bending multiple metal legs for different future projects.  Not to mention, there's mowing the yard and leaf-blowing all those millions ga-zillions of leaves out there in our yard!  Honestly, I know there are holes to fill at the shop, but when you have to run it for two out of the four-day weekend and still attend holiday functions, while always taking care of two crazy toddlers-------you kind of have to lower the expectations of yourselves!

Actually, as I snapped a few photos this morning of these various projects in our shop, I could see that a large percentage of work had been done already.  Maybe, nothing is finished yet, but they all will be soon.  With the many demands for products by others (and mostly from ourselves), we have to come to grips with the notion that IDM is NOT a huge-scaled factory---having tons of worker bees.  Essentially, we ARE in a good place. Progress is being made and boxes are getting ticked (at a realistic pace, of course)!

Until next time ya'll,
