Fancied Up Vintage Leather Clutch

I fancied up this vintage clutch by embroidering a diamond with glow in the dark embroidery floss. It looks pretty cool in the dark, that's for sure!



It is currently available in my shop, and it will soon be joined by a couple of its fancy friends.

In other news, I have cut out 15 long wallets today, which is a new record for me. Let's see if I can make them all in one day and kill my old record (10, I think). I'm also hoping to get Hot Butter Vintage up and running any day now.

New Small Wallets in the Shop

That velvet skirt strikes again!



I'll be back soon with another fancied up vintage clutch. They'll be available super soon! Happy Saturday!

I also have a few new wallets in the shop. Most of my stock went to hang out at Boulder Body Wear in Boulder, Colorado in hopes of finding a new home! Stop in and say hi if you're in the area. :D

Happy Birthday Dad!

Dad and I before prom. He wanted pictures of me in my fancy dress on his motorcycle. haha



And just because he tries to embarrass me with pictures from when I was kid on my birthday, I'm sharing this in the spirit of Grandpa LeRoy, who was really good at reading and sleeping at the same time. Unfortunately Dad heard the camera focusing and started to open his eyes.

So happy birthday Dad!

In other news, Felix went to South Dakota with my mom for the week, and I have actually been creating. I've also been hitting the thrift store jackpot. I'll be back soon with pictures! I'll try not to be such a stranger anymore.

More crazy Wyoming sightings

These people have a beef with ice cream.

We've got sad faces

Hello everybody!

I wanted to explain my absences here as I know it isn't nice to disappear. The purpose of our trip to Wyoming was to get together as a family and spend some time with my dad's dad, Grandpa LeRoy, who was very sick with what he referred to as "the cancer."



Grandpa LeRoy passed away last Friday in Wyoming, and my family is pretty sad about that.



(I think he'd like me to point out that he's wearing his favorite and most comfortable shirt.)

Grandpa LeRoy liked books, rocks, arrowheads, making stuff, catsup (that's how he said it!), making sure his hair looked good, feasts, catching fun creatures (like toads and crawfish), records, funny jokes, and Grandma Donna.

Wyoming

Today is one of the few precious days I haven't been insanely busy lately. Of course I'm going to a solstice even tonight for a couple hours, but it feels so good to not be busy busy busy. I thought I'd break the silence around here with some badass Wyoming pictures.



Felix was terrified of this stuffed bear. I had to stand with him, and I think you can see how badly he wanted to get away by the look on his face!

I bought Felix the bear hat of his dreams!



Fambly photo by the river, Tetons in the background. We had to stress how important it was for Felix to not step off that dock into the deep roaring river!





See that speck over by the trees? It's about a third of the photo over from the right? That's a grizzly bear folks! Sorry I don't have a fancy telephoto lens, but I was wicked excited about my first wild bear sighting!!



Lady elk, life and limb risked by Chainsaw to take this photo.



Old Faithful!







All that hot steam is no good for foxy straight bangs.



I haven't even started with the picture on my personal camera. These are all from the fancy pants soul taker!

I should be getting back to creating today- or at the very least getting my creation station set back up after Friday's game night party. Oy!!
