| Squirrel Charm |
Why is it Squirrel Sunday you might ask? Well here's the thing, I love taking custom orders from my customers. Sometimes they have a vague idea of what they want and sometimes they have a picture to provide inspiration. But either way it's problem solving. I try and figure out what I need to create the thing they want.

| Close up of the beads with the charm |
The idea is for scissor fobs that have a squirrel charm as their focal point. Then we determined that blacks, grays, and silver were the colors the customer preferred. The inspiration photo used silver beads that had texture and designs etched into them, so I sourced some varying shapes and sizes and created a pattern with the assorted pieces until we hit on a style that appealed to my customer.

Now just one scissor fob with a squirrel on it might not have been enough to make it "Squirrel Sunday", but when an order is placed for 12 fobs exactly alike...it's now a Sunday for squirrels!

As of this writing, seven fobs are complete. The order will be completed and ready for shipping out Thursday morning (if everything goes to plan!). All scissor fobs come with a split ring key ring and can be used as keychains, zipper pulls, purse charms, or mirror charms.
If you're interested in seeing more of my scissor fobs, please check out my Etsy shop and click on the section for "Fobs/Keyring/Bag Charms". You can always message me through the blog or the shop if you'd like to place a custom order.
That's about all I've got for this week. Feel free to drop any questions or comments.
Slainte Mhuth!
