Weekly Shop Update — November 17–23, 2025

Winter testing, new designs, and a global milestone at TML Fun Creations

As we wrap up the third week of November, the shop has been full of activity — from cold-weather testing to gearing up for holiday orders. Here’s a look at what happened last week at TML Fun Creations.

✅ Solar Roof Test Success

I kicked off the week by running a fresh test with an Arlo solar panel, and even on a cloudy morning, it pulled a solid 7 volts. That’s great news for customers using solar-powered setups through winter.

Even better — cameras with built-in solar panels will now be able to operate inside the housing without needing an external solar panel, giving you a cleaner install and fewer exposed components. I’ll continue making small design tweaks, but it’s officially working, which is always a win.

🏠 Progress on New Housings

Several updated and newly added designs moved forward this week:

• A mounting-bracket option for the Ring roof that keeps the standard size without changing the look

• The new woven pot housing for the Ring Outdoor (Model 5CCEA8), blending naturally into indoor and covered outdoor spaces

• Lens-opening adjustments for cameras that sit slightly differently than expected

• Newly added housings for the Blink Outdoor Camera Version 4, Blink Mini 2, and Reolink Argus 3 Pro

  
  

As always, nothing ships unless I have the camera here in the shop — fit and function come first every single time.

🌍 A Big Milestone — Now Shipping Even Farther

We added two new countries to the TML Fun Creations shipping map: Switzerland and France — and recently expanded into Australia, the United Kingdom, and Sweden as well.

I’m truly ecstatic and overjoyed by the support from all over the world. What started as a small idea in the shop has now reached places I never imagined — and it’s all because of this amazing community. Thank you for helping this little company grow.

🎄 Holiday Season in Full Swing

Orders are coming in quickly, and printers are running daily to keep everything moving.

A few notes for holiday shoppers:

• Custom colors are still available

• Covered-outdoor setups are recommended during winter months

• Ordering planters without plants helps keep shipping costs down

Thank you to everyone who has already placed an order — your support means more than you know.

🔧 Behind the Scenes

Quiet but important work happening in the background:

• Stocking filament for multicolor and larger-format prints

• Reprinting sold-out inventory faster than expected

• Opening up sensor areas where certain models need more visibility

• Testing a standard-roof bracket for more flexibility without changing appearance

It has involved some late nights… and plenty of coffee.

📸 Coming Up Next Week

Here’s what’s scheduled:

• Finalizing the updated Ring Solar Panel roof design

• Continuing holiday restocks

• Testing the Reolink E1 Pro outdoor version

• New planter-top options — flat, woven, and low-profile

• Adding a new printer to the production line.

If you need something custom, now’s a great time to reach out!

Thanks again for following along and supporting this small business.Have a wonderful week — and stay warm out there.
