Free Shipping and All That Jazz!

Two newer pieces made by me:)  and available now in my Etsy shop.  I'm also shipping all my leathery goods for FREE through the holidays.  So, enjoy and the Happiest of Happy Holidays to you!

Attack of the Wallets

I am making lots o' things to prepare for a couple of events that I am doing this holiday season.  I started with a stack of billfolds and came up with these (and more to come soon) and now I am on to coin pouches and larger wallets.  I love being able to work again.  I actually make myself work at night now, I can't see worth a darn but I am actually getting stuff done and it feels good.  It's also nice that my goal for the year has been to simply work enough to fill up my Etsy shop so I can concentrate on some metal work and other wild accessories in the new year.  I hope to heck that happens!

Well, back to work I go...............

New Stuff!

I finished up a few things over the last couple of days, including this large pouch wallet

this coin pouch

and this one too!

I've been working a lot lately and trying to figure out these darn kiss lock frames.  I think I have finally got it though!  

I hope everyone had a wonderful day yesterday and hope your weekend is even better:)

I'm going to go sew up a pile of billfolds so I can sew up some more of these little kiss lock thingies.


Enjoy your day!

Some Newness for Monday

My newest little coin purse in orange suede with a kiss lock on top!

New Billfold!

I got a little bit of sewing in this weekend and finished up these two little pieces with are now available in my Etsy shop.  We had a nice quiet weekend after all of our various celebrations for the last couple of weeks and now it's dawning on me that I need to sew EVERY DAY!  so I can get my darn shop stocked up.  I look forward to the challenge and hope to have a fully stocked shop very, very soon.(provided that I can keep from dropping my sewing needles in my sewing machine, which I did last night and it took WAY too much time to get out)  Here's to a productive and happy week!

It Was a Good Day!

My Trick or Treaters, the witch and Spongebob taking a break from candy time.

It rained all morning but let up in time for the big event "Trick or Treat on the Plaza"

We got home just in time to put out our jack o' lanterns and watch them glow

 We had a wonderful Halloween and we hope you did too:)

Hey! This Kid Had A Birthday!

 Ms. Edolie turned 3 this month.  She wanted purple fairy wings to wear on her special day.

 She also wanted a "bumble bee" cake and so we made one for her.

She also wanted a "pretty dress" made especially by her mom.  So I made one for her.  She got a pink fuzzy  handbag to wear with it.  

We had a pretty nice day at the park and the coffee house, then home for cake and ice cream.  Happy Birthday little Edolie!  We love you!

My New Friend

I had to fight with this guy to get to the last of the ripe blackberries.  I love the markings!  What a lovely creature!  We have tons of these spiders and woolly bears this time of the year.  I think that is why I love autumn here so much.


I have been trying to get sewing done in between costume making and birthday dress making.  It is hard!  I need a time manager or just a manager to kick my butt and get me focused!  I decided to cut down on the amount of designs I am making for the holidays this year so that has been easier but just finding the time to do anything with my leather has been pretty hard this last year.  It's getting better but I just can't seem to push from better to best.  Makes me frustrated!  I did make a pretty cool witch costume for Ed and Ciaran's Sponge bob costume seems to be coming along so that is all good!  Just need a few extra hours every day to work on my stuff........not gonna happen though unfortunately:(  I just keep chanting "some day, some day, some day"..............................
