New in Red

I finished these two up this weekend and now they are waiting in my Etsy shop to go to new homes!  Can you tell that I really like how red, black, and grey look together:)  After a very busy week, I am back to cutting and sewing and gearing up for the holidays.  I have one more great big red pouch to sew up and then I'm on to some purple things and billfolds.  Wheeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grey, Green, Purple, Blue, Lavender, Brown, and more GREY!

I am working on a new wallet pouch thingy and I came up with some combinations of colors that I really like.  They are weird, but I like them.  I've got some pale green, grey, purple, and bright blue, I think I may have puked with this one a couple of years ago, and the picture doesn't make it look very interesting, but it really is!  (To me anyways)  The second is a sort of dusty teal with more grey, lavender, and dark brown, and I love it!  I made a custom wallet in the same colors for someone just  few weeks ago and was not completely sure if the colors would work, but they did and I really like it now.  So much that I am making a few things for my shop with this same color scheme.  It's fun to play!  I am still loving red, grey and black, and grey, violet, and black too!  So you will probably see a few more of those combos coming up shortly.  I never thought I would like grey suede so much! 

Red, Black, and Grey are AWESOME Together!

At least I think so..........  and Grey, purple and black too!................and............well, all the colors are AWESOME!  I just happen to like these two different combinations A LOT at the moment.  I am thinking that there will be more of these colors coming up in my work over the next meanwhile. 

I just finished up a couple of cuffs that I have been working on FOREVER!  One of which, I completely screwed up but it still looks pretty darn awesome, and it is still very wearable.  I guess I will keep that one for myself.   I am using rivets now, and with garment weight leather and suede it can be difficult to get those rivets set just right.  I am working on it though.

It's been a really long week here.  Not sure if it's just being inside a lot or my never ending list of things to do but I am super-tuckered-out this week.  I imagine it's the rainy weather and being inside more than usual with two kids and a cold that just lives on and on and on.  I've had to kick myself in the butt a couple of times this week just to keep myself moving.  As much as I love Fall and Winter, I am looking forward to a little more daylight to work in.  I plan to take advantage of it as much as possible, and not just for work, for play too:)  The kids have a lot of plans for us.  Lots of skateboarding, kite flying, park-going, evening walks, and hopefully swimming lessons!  We will see what happens with that and all of us water-chickens here.  I never liked going to the pool before the kids were born, not sure how I'll feel about it now, but I want my two to know how to swim!  Other than that, nothing much to see here:) the same 'ol stuff, just the way I like it!  Cheers!
