I've been busy making these little guys over the last few days. They are a super simple design all dressed up with applique! I'm even putting my newly designed lining fabrics to the test too. These two are available now in my <a href="http://leatherythings.etsy.com/" target="_blank">leatherythings </a>shop, and more will be listed in the next couple of days. Thanks for looking!<br />

I've been working on some stuff and slowly but surely filling up my shop again. I am also making a ton of catnip pillows for The Companion Animal Foundation, one of our local animal rescues. The money made from the catnip pillows goes right back to the Foundation so they can help care for homeless animals in our area. I hope to get back to helping to clean and care for the animals again soon. Maybe when kitten hits again. It feels good to help. <br />
<br />
Right now, my focus is on some smaller card wallets that should be finished up and listed later in the week. I can't say enough how thankful I am for <a href="http://leatherythings.etsy.com/" target="_blank">my little shop </a>and all the wonderful people who look at and buy my work, it has been a life saver for me! I really feel this today because our financial situation sucks right now, and will probably keep sucking for a while to come. With one of us out of work, and myself stretched beyond reason with a couple of part time jobs, and lots of sewing, on top of caring for my kids, it has been ridiculously hard. But thanks to all the people who have bought my work, we are scooting by! Right now, I can feed and house my family, and that feels wonderful! So thanks to all of you out there who take the time to look, and to those who buy handmade, you do a lot for us little artsy peoples, and you are so very AWESOME!<br />
<br />
With love,<br />

I am still here and making leathery things and metal things. I recently started working at my kids' school as an aide in the mornings so my sewing and creating time has been cut in half. I love my job though, I work with 3rd Graders and they ROCK!!! Making ends meet around here has been particularly tricky over the past few years and I'm trying to do my part to make things a little bit easier for all of us. I'm not giving up my creative side though, and don't plan to any time soon. I'll be back with more goodies soon:)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17081924714663500348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970020110390507747.post-21154520048119877462016-06-30T13:26:00.000-07:002016-06-30T13:26:17.808-07:00Shiny New Things<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I needed a break from sewing so I sat down and made these two metal thingys. Both were experiments but I like them enough that I think I may make more.

I'm back to sewing and creating and all the happy that goes with it! Lots of changes since we moved but maybe that is for the better down the line.

So, the last I wrote, I think I was in the midst of our move to a new apartment. We are now mostly moved in to a smaller and more expensive, yet, cleaner, drier, and less cruddy new place! I have just started working again! I am bouncing between metal and leather right now, trying to get some ideas that have been crawling around in my brain out and put down on paper, metal, leather, etc. I hope you like the new stuff that I am putting together, I am excited to share it. Any of the metal pieces I make now will be going in to my <a href="http://princesslizard.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Princess Lizard </a>shop on Etsy until I get all my crap together and move the leather pieces too. So for now, one shop for leathery things, and one shop for metal thingys. Enjoy! and a very belated "Happy New Year" to all of you. <br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17081924714663500348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970020110390507747.post-18404637120909199242015-11-27T12:22:00.000-08:002015-11-27T12:22:26.781-08:00Yeah I've been busy......<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We keep finding these little guys all around our apartment. This one just wants to hang out on our screen door and taunt the cat.

I have three of these done now and all ready to find new homes. So far, I am really enjoying the whole process of making these. I always loved working with copper and brass.

So, I made a few more pendants to put up for sale in my new Amazon Handmade Marketplace shop, which should be open sometime this week. My Amazon shop will be mostly jewelry and accessories for the meanwhile. I am working on lots of different ideas at the moment but these I think are my favorite pieces that have come out of the lab so far.

Dichroic glass cabochon set in copper. The bubbly, colorful look on the face of the copper, is the patina solution I applied to the copper doing it's work. The finished piece will be coming up soon:)<br />

Thanks for looking!<br />

Back to school for these two! Now spreading their silliness throughout the halls of their school for the next meanwhile. I now have a third grader and a kindergartner. Crazy times!

I have one small child with a belly ache, so I am taking the opportunity to clean, and get some stuff made! So far, I have these two beauties <a href="http://leatherythings.etsy.com/" target="_blank">all set and ready </a>to find their new homes, hopefully soon:), I have dyed one HUGE pale green handbag a darker shade of emerald green, and I am slowly doing my spring cleaning now, it feels good to be a little more organized and less chaotic right now. My very distractable mind is having a really hard time with the free time that we have now. So, cross your fingers for me that I can keep moving at this pace:)<br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17081924714663500348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970020110390507747.post-82559815998386830362015-06-11T13:27:00.001-07:002015-06-11T13:27:56.564-07:00The Last Day of School!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Sometime last year I started contemplating having my lining fabrics printed with my own designs. Then, I started remembering how much fun I had in high school with printing and painting on fabric. So, I dragged out some plain white cotton from the stash that I collected from my mom a while back and started playing. My first attempts were pretty gross. Not much was happening except for mud. I tried washes and dry brush and spray bottle painting and I was not impressed with any of it. So I gave up and just kept collecting random pieces of cotton for my collection. Then, I thought I would give fabric stamping a try. So off I went to our local art store and got myself some fabric dye and blank stamps for the carvin' and I finally got results I like! This one is green with black hearts, and multicolored dots. I think it's a mighty fine start, and a nice break from sitting at the sewing table too!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17081924714663500348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970020110390507747.post-11926265369468573972015-05-17T14:18:00.003-07:002015-05-17T14:18:57.134-07:00Just Messin' Around<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So, I have bags and bags full of small scraps of leather and suede that have been waiting patiently for me to think of some exciting way of using them all up. I think I've made a start. I decided that I could not make it through the weekend without giving this new design a try. I think it's a good start. I love the colors! This one is now up for <a href="http://leatherythings.etsy.com/" target="_blank">grabs</a>. I'm thinking that I will be making a few more of these in various colors and sizes, some with snaps, others with buttons, all kinds of cool new stuff!

It's been a bit busy over here and I just realized that I haven't posted anything since late March. Oops! Well, today I have some new things to share and hope to have more ready to share soon. I am busily working on leathery things and helping the kids make it through these last few weeks of school. Then the madness really begins! I will be hangin' here with the kiddos this summer trying to find new and exciting ways of entertaining them and trying to fit in lots of designing and sewing in between.

I managed to get a few checkbook covers done this weekend for<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Funk-Shui/158118054240476" target="_blank"> Funk Shui </a>in Eureka. I am running out of leather super fast these days which is making me play with color a lot more than usual, but I think I came up with some interesting combinations here. Now that these are done, I have a couple of custom orders to finish along with a huge pile of pouches! I'm gonna be sewing for a very long time!<br />
<br />
That is good. <br />

I finished up a few new card wallets over the last few days and got them all listed in my shop and ready for their new homes. We have had quite an interesting 2015 so far, lots of illness and not a lot getting done. It finally seems like things are improving and we are down to one earache and cough, which is a whole lot better than what we've been up against over the last meanwhile. <br />
<br />
I have not had a lot of free time for much of anything so of course, nothing creative gets done. Now that these little guys are all ready to go, I'm going to head back to the sewing table to work on my various projects (the most recent being a simple checkbook cover design) and get some stuff done!<br />
<br />
I did get to hide my handmade valentines all about Arcata and it looks like they have all been found and given homes. Since Valentine's Day has become a sort of blah, nothing special day around here for me, I was able to enjoy it more because of my little project. I got to give some love and appreciation to my community and that makes my tiny, rotten heart happy. I can't wait to make some more. I'm thinking the next project is going to be something to do with dragons or monsters of some sort. Probably in the same medium too. Glue and pastels have been an awesome reintroduction to drawing and working on paper. I am also kind of addicted to my metallic pastels and paints too!<br />
<br />
Here's to having fun and getting stuff done! Happy Friday!!!!!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17081924714663500348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970020110390507747.post-60974184117319120652015-02-07T11:44:00.000-08:002015-02-07T11:44:39.910-08:00I Missed January!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I would to say that I missed January because we were so incredibly busy with activities and super fun stuff that I just didn't have time to post, but, no, I can't. We've all been sick since the end of the year at least and we are now dealing with a nasty tummy virus that has gotten both the kids so far. I thought I would post something before it catches me! <br />
<br />
The pictures above are for my newest project for the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/HumboldtArtAbandonment/?ref=br_tf" target="_blank">Humboldt Art Abandonment</a> project. They are specially made valentines that I will be placing throughout Arcata over the next few days. They are simple glue resist paintings on black paper with extra special metallic pastel painting and a little bit of sparkly fairy dust to make them super magical! I just finished framing them and will wrap them later today. Then off to find some good "abandoning" places for them around town. I think I'll abandon the first one tonight on my walk around the neighborhood.<br />
<br />
I have been working in between illness and other various activities. I even managed to come up with a new wallet design and finished the first one this week while I was home with Ciaran. I'll have pics of those later when I get to sewing the rest of them up. <br />
<br />
I had such big plans for January, but, nothing worked out they way I planned. We even had to postpone Ciaran's 8th birthday party because we didn't want to make anyone else sick:(<br />
<br />
Now it's February. I sure hope I don't miss this month too!<br />
<br />
I am crossing my fingers for a healthful, creative, and happy February for us and everyone!<br />
<br />
