Ouch!

So one of my newer pieces with lots of brilliant color. I love my bright orange leather! It is really really bright and kind takes over though so it needs extra bright and cheery colors to go with it. Fun times! I am getting to like the whole zipper experience too. I like the feeling of little secret compartments.

So I hurt my knee doing a yoga stretch the other day. It is really sore and bothering me. So now my lovely walks downtown have been interrupted, which sucks! I think I am going to attempt a walk with my little knee wrap so I can see if it is still do-able. The trouble is, Ciaran needs exercise, and so do I. There is only so much you can do to entertain yourself in a tiny little apartment, so I at least need to be able to make it down to the school grounds so Ciaran can run around in the afternoons. Ick! I feel like I have been sitting on my butt for years now. I want to be outside in the fresh air, watching my son run around like crazy. Get better soon knee!

I Can't Move! Part two

So my whole upper body is still cramped and sore. I can't move much of anything so far. I tried doing a couple of yoga poses to stretch stuff out but the soreness keeps coming back. Today I had planned to catch up on some sewing and a little bit of metal work but since I can't move my head or neck.....or shoulders and arms, I am out of luck once again. I am getting some of my new items listed in my Etsy shop and my icraft shop though. There is one of my newest billfolds, I love the caramel colored leather, it is so smooth and soft. I wish I had tons more to work with, but the jacket it came from was on the small side.

I guess I could work on some patterns. Since I am "improving" a few of my designs, I wasn't to improve the patterns first. Now that I have my little portable desk, I can work on that without moving too much. I just feel silly taking time off to nurse a sore neck.

I spent some time playing around with my icraft shop yesterday. I am trying to split up my work between both my Etsy shop and my icraft shop but I my original idea for my icraft shop was to showcase my handbags there and leave Etsy as my leather, jewelry, etc. shop. I would love to finish a few more handbags by the holidays. I guess if I get over this soreness and really bust my butt, I could make a few for the shows and my shop. I really like the icraft set-up, I wish I knew of some other ways to get the word out about it, I try with all my might to let others know about it, since it is less than a year old it is hard to tell where it will go, I hope it does really well.

Nothing Happening Here

I feel a little blah today. Yesterday I was sick all day with my darn unruly stomach. It seriously feels like some critter with razor sharp nails and teeth is clawing and gnawing to get out.

I managed to do a little yoga this morning until Ciaran pushed me over and I hurt my wrist. It did make me feel better(not the hurt wrist part but the yoga part). I was energized enough to work on some wallets. I am hoping to get a couple done today for posting tomorrow. I need a couple of items to put in my icraft and bigcartel shops(yes, I started a new shop, just to see how it goes). I am having a hard time keeping up right now, I need better time management. I think I just need to sit down and cut out a bunch of wallet pieces so they are ready to go when I need them. I also need to sift through my leather pieces and decide what pieces I am going to use for what. I keep saying it, now I need to do it. Other than my leatherwork dilemma, I am hungry, I want sushi, hot chocolate, and carmel apple pie..........maybe not all together, that would probably make me sick.
