Where did the time go?

Who would have thought that someone could forget about their own blog? Well, yes it happened, I forgot that Rocky Mountain Twist, has a blog and that I have not updated it in about 2 years. Over that past few months we have been working on a new marketing strategy with Buxton Co., our website is being revamped, we will be on pinterest, our FaceBook page will be updated AND we will have a blog. When we were asked if we had a blog, a lightbulb turned on in my head and I remembered, yes I was writing a blog, and yes I had great articles, and yes I can do it again. 

Quite a lot has happened over the past few years, we no longer sell at the Steamboat Springs Farmers Market, which I miss attending. I do not miss setting up and tearing down, I do miss the people, the smells and the best coffee and scones that I have ever had. Next on my list is to attend the market but as a consumer and not a vendor and revisit the ambiance of Steamboat Springs Farmers Market.

A few new products have been added to our projects, we now make taxidermy pedestals for wall mounts, life size, shoulder mounts... and pretty much any kind of animal that has been harvested. These pedestals have been very popular and our #1 seller for the past couple of years.

Another couple of projects we are working on is a redwood bench which will ship to London and redwood headboard that is shipping to Texas this weekend. I will post pictures and information real soon. 

I guess that about sums it up, I am excited to be back to writing and sharing the story behind the product. Don't forget to follow us!

Spring is in the Air

It wasn't too long ago I was writing about the end of summer and how we were headed into the cold of winter. Now spring is on it's way, we had fresh snowfall this morning but I am sure it is not going to stick around for long. I am looking forward to being able to work in the shop with the doors open and not have to worry about keeping a fire going, don't get me wrong, I love the feel of a hot fire. When the temperature hits -40 it makes you crave summer all the more.

With summer on it's way, we also have the Steamboat Springs Farmers Market and Crafts Market to look forward to. It starts June 13th and runs every Saturday until mid-September. It is fast becoming one of the tops markets in the state of Colorado, Steamboat has many summer activities such as; PBR Rodeo, Hot Air Balloon Rodeo, Wild West Air Fest, Mustang Car Show Round UP, Steamboat Marathon and many other events.

If you haven't been to Steamboat or are looking for a great weekend or day trip, come see us this summer in Steamboat Springs. We will be next to the court house every Saturday, stop by and say hi.

If you're driving through Maybell and you see a big ball of dust in the air, it must be Rocky Mountain Twist working away in the shop. Trying to be prepared for the summer craft shows. Stop in and see us, don't mind the dust on the floor, the shop is hardly ever clean, if it was then we would'nt be busy.

Some of you might be wondering, what in the heck we have been up to this winter, we haven't had any new products on our website and only sent out a few emails with available products.
