Wordless Wednesday

My BB has a resting place.

Tote du Jour

I've been rocking this new tote bag for a month now and thought I would share.  I designed it to so that my daily needs could be close at hand.  By needs of course I mean my lipstick, phone and keys.  I can also switch out the straps in whatever colour I may fancy at any particular day.

I will be adding this style to my line soon, so stay tuned to my online shop.

Add a little purple

Some custom items I recently did in the royal colour.

Work in Progress

Almost there.

Custom Orders

These gems came out of my studio this month.

These next two are my leather steampunk cuffs with secret zippered pocket.  They are both hand dyed and tooled.

 The following is a case for a pocket watch that straps onto your belt

 

I am happy to create something just for you - all you have to do is ask.

Strapped!

My newest tool is pretty sharp - literally!  It has 5 blades that can create multiple straps at once and in different widths.  I am trying out this baby to find which type of leather works best with it.

Revision#1 and still counting

 I will add a zippered pocket to the front at the bottom to echo the inside pocket.

That's all for today.... see you soon.

To Market To Market

I wanted to share with you my new prototype bag.  It is something I have been meaning to do for some time now, but you know how that goes - 113 ideas in your head, not so much time to complete them.

I wanted to combine leather with waxed canvas.  The problem was that waxed canvas is so hard to find.  My solution was to wax my own canvas and it turned out great!  This bag will have many other features than seen here.  This prototype will be my new shipping/post-office bag and I am already in love and hope you will be too.

Stay tuned for updates.

Leather Wristlet Wallet

This handy Grab N Go leather wristlet wallet is so convenient with it's detachable strap.  I have been carrying around one of my own for the whole year (yes I know we are only 2 months into it :-).  They are available in my Etsy Shop in many colours.  I want to add more colours but need your help.  What colours would you like to see?  They have 2 compartments that can hold money, credit cards or even a phone.  There is also a centre zippered compartment that is perfect for coin.

I will also be doing some custom ones where you can have your pet's or loved ones photo printed on it.  Perhaps flowers or maybe I will put a bird on it :-)

Women's Leather Coin Purses are Here!

I am getting ready for my show on November 5th and decided to add something glam to the mix.  These are what I came up with, perfect for the fashionista in you or the one you know.

Happy Birthday Canada!!!

You look good for being 144 years old :-)

Leather wristband cuff with secret pocket

My cuff was featured on Lesa Kay's blog.  Go on over to check out her amazing writing skills.

Not your garden variety envelope

Lately I have been doing a lot of financials and bill paying, which I hate doing.  So what do I do when I don't want to do something?  You guessed it, procrastinate by doing something else.  I told myself that I needed to have something to put all my loose receipts in so that they were contained.  This leather envelope is what I came up with.

While I was at it, I used the opportunity to use up some of my leather scraps and practice some stamping.  The stamping did  not turn out that well, but I got to make something useful from scraps that was taking up space.

I can't wait to do more of these!

Shop Update AKA What's new in the Shop

I brought the Prospect Biker Wrist Cuff back

and added a new one for the ladies.

Leather Zip-around Wallet


This baby almost killed me - really! Now I know why there are not many of these types of wallets around :-) This is my 4th draft and I am keeping this one for my troubles. I might just end up making this a made to order item in my shop.
