Okay, no more custom orders, dammit

[herufeanor]

I used to love custom orders. They were typically fun to do, and money in the bank. No question about whether I could sell the project when I finished it, cause it was already sold. However, I also used to have a very different life. Just a year ago, I spent a chunk of every day sitting in my car with nothing to do but weave chainmail, while little_ribbit was in class. As an added bonus, the post office was right next to where I usually parked, so when I finished a project, I could just go and mail it off, no problem.

Now, I spend far more of my time working in an office then I ever used to spend making chainmail. On the hours I'm not working, I'm so happy to have time to myself that I really want to spend it having fun. I have to REALLY force myself to work on these projects, and even when they're done, it's well out of my way to get them mailed off.

Right now, I have a couple projects that are WAY overdue, and already paid for. I feel really bad about it. I intend to get them done and stuck in a mailbox by the end of the day, but that doesn't rectify the fact that they're already massively late. I'd like to do something to make it up to the people who ordered these, but I think it's too late for that.

And from now on, NO MORE CUSTOM ORDERS. And this time, I mean it.
