Slow here too.  And the suppliers I've visited in the last two weeks said the same thing - not much going on.  I'm enjoying it but a little worried that the economy may slip again.

I e noticed that my suppliers run  out of the simple things needed to complete a job.
Like stap buckles for tops  or pad eyes/ strap eyes.

I've been hopping all summer.  I did luck into the job with the pontoon covers so that helped out a bunch.  Also, always have an alteration in my closet waiting for me to get to.

But, in the last month I've gotten the pontoon covers, several small jobs that were in/out in several days time, 48 chairs for a restaurant to reupholster, a fabulous antique loveseat/chair combo.  I'm also talking with a woman about recovering 2 couches but I have to get the Volkswagon finished.  That has been a real slow process but should be putting the new top on this week.  That's when it will get fun since I didn't take the top off, I'm pretty clueless what hardware goes where.

At any rate, I've been moving at top speed all summer and don't see it changing for the foreseeable future.
