Leather.....
I can't believe it but I've taken up yet another hobby. I've learned to carve and tool leather. I think it's having a teenage daughter that inspires me. I see things she and her friends like and think, "Hmm, I could do that." So I do. But, the problem is she won't wear things I make for her. I guess because I'm her Mom. I've sold one on etsy and I'm putting more, but I think I'm probably going to end up with lots of tooled and carved leather things for my family and friends at Christmas. It's fun and like everything else I do, I'll end up with some "inventory" as David calls it. He thinks someday I'll have a shop with all my many products from hobbies and he believes in my talent so maybe he's right. For now I'm just creating and enjoying the process.

Halloween


She's creepy and she's spooky. She's altogether ookey...and that's even when she isn't dressed like Wednesday Addams. Em went to a Halloween party and her costume cost me a mere $1.99 for black lipstick. I think she looked really awesome. The only problem.....she liked the black lipstick and wonders if she could wear it to school. My answer: Nope! Keep it for Halloween, Wednesday.
