The website is back open and we’ve arranged things much better in the shop. 

Update:  We’re still waiting on the a/c guys to install air in the shop so be patient as we slowly work through this heat wave 😥. Luckily the sewing machines are in a separate room and we’ve got a window unit in it.

We are taking a little time to get ourselves reorganized and some air conditioning.  If you placed an order with us recently, they will all ship out as normal.  If you need to contact us in the meantime, please shoot us an email.  Thanks!

NEWS FLASH!!! We’ll be shut down for online orders from Monday June 9th until Sunday June 22nd during our shop renovation.  All orders placed before then will ship out as usual.  In the meantime get outside and on the water!  All forward…

Rainy days and new neighbors. 

We’re still working on catching up from our move and things still aren’t as efficient as they will be.  Spring and early summer busyness came at us fast and we’re working hard to keep things moooving. 

#redneckrafter #cowstagram #sewing #smallbusiness
Our shop will be closed this week.  The website will still be open for orders, but any orders placed during this time will start shipping again on Tuesday, May 20. 

We’ve also added a “Surprise me” option on the Beach Totes online.  We usually have several on hand that aren’t the normal color schemes.  Choose that option if you’re feeling funky!

We’ll see y’all at Cheat Fest this weekend rain or shine!  Hopefully more shine than rain 😉. If you can’t make it there in person you can still support @cheatriverfriends through their silent auction starting Friday evening.  We’ve got some special items up for grabs. 

Woohoo West Virginia or bust!

#redneckrafter #smallbusiness #riverfest
You’re not getting bigger, these cam straps are just smaller!  We’ll have some of these mini Rollercam straps sets in the Cheat fest silent auction and in the @endlessriveradventures Nantahala open raffle next weekend.  Also up for grabs are some black daisy chain and handle straps jazzed up with yellow thread.

We got our last bit of junk and final cleaning done at our home in Knoxville last night.  Like any large undertaking I probably underestimated the amount of work involved 🙃. But the good news is we are not running back and forth anymore and are in Sparta full time!  The shop is functional, but still in quite a disarray so things have been a little slow to roll out.  Thanks everyone for patience while we get back to it! 

#redneckrafter #moving #junkinthetrunk #smallbusiness
How we’re feeling after our move 💀. Hang in everyone, we are dying to get back up and rolling at 100%!

A quick update: we are still in the process of moving, but have our shop back up in a functional capacity.  Orders are rolling back out again, but may take a couple extra days as we are still back and forth from Knoxville. 

#redneckrafter #canoe #moving #smallbusiness
Whew!  We’re almost halfway there and getting the machines and business side of things unloaded.  This transition has been a TON of work, but will be worth it in the end.  Thanks a million to our buddies who have helped us get the truck loaded in Knoxville, y’all are simply the best 🙌.

We’re moving!  We’ve been pretty quiet on here this winter, but have been busy behind the scenes as we prepare to move to our new home base in Sparta, TN. 

We will be shipping everything out as normal this week but will pause all shipments between February 15 - February 26.  Items on the website will be more limited during this transition as well.  We’ll continue to keep you updated until we’re back in full force in our new shop with some new items this spring.

Keep that gear secure and accessible in your boat with our daisy chain strap. Available in 6 different colors.

2024 was quite a year.  Thank you thank you to everyone who has helped support us and we are looking forward to some big changes in 2025.  We’ll announce more soon, but for the meantime we are on hold for custom orders and will be limiting our inventory over the next month.

We loved meeting our new friend Meadow at the Ijams Holiday Market!  She got her very own pink bag to go with her stylish outfit.  This honestly brought me sooo much joy!  The mesh is breathable and safe for pets.
