Hi lovely peeps. There’s a new waxed canvas tote in the shop here. This particular mix of materials was a custom request, and I loved how it turned out. It is now available for general purchase.

And that is all for today. I slept in late this morning! Always feel a little behind when I sleep in. Though it sure was nice to catch up on sleep.

a few things

+ One of a kind pencil case here

+ Reaching for the light, and too pretty to ignore

+ New / revised tote coming to the shop soon

 

It’s pouring rain here and rather stormy today. This is the most rain we have had in a long while! I am worrying about my peas, which I put out last week, hoping the slugs aren’t going hog wild on them. They can do so much damage in so little time. When the rain lets up a little I’m going out to check.

I’ve been working on some new bags and am getting closer to completing some. It’s been hard to make the time for new work for quite a while. I have a lot of projects started though, and it feels like the wheels have really started turning this week. It feels great, and creates a fresh excitement around going to work each day. Heading up there now to finish up some orders before the weekend.

Enjoy your weekend friends, rain or shine. Be back soon…

add a strap

Every now and then someone writes to ask if they can see a photo of the rucksack being worn with the optional shoulder strap. I know it’s hard to visualize sometimes, and it’s helpful to see an actual example. I have finally added a few images. Seen with the rucksack in stone waxed canvas above, as well as an updated listing for the strap option. It’s silly I didn’t have these available sooner! Thanks for your questions, always. xo

a few things

+ Tiny peek of a baby gift I recently made (and gave).

+ Feeling a new fondness for coral pink.

+ My ongoing love for turquoise and all of it’s related watery blue greens seems only to be increasing as the weather turns warmer.

+ The first of a new pouch, and the very last of an oldie.

 

Can you believe it is March??

Enjoy the remaining hours of your weekend. I’ll be back tomorrow…

hemp and waxed canvas

I have just added a new 2-tone tote to the shop, here. This one is a little taller than my original 2-tone, and is thanks to a recent request by a return customer of mine. I loved the change in proportions and additional space.

For a sense of size, in comparison…

.

I didn’t manage a “doing it myself” post this week. Although I have made myself a thing or 2! My current project should be finished soon. It’s been a busy week. Also, I’m working on a little project for the shop – something that’s been a fun deviation for me from my usual work, and a nice change-up from what I usually have available in the shop. I hope to have some of it posted next week.

Have a great weekend. Be back soon xo

buckles and leather

The Buckle Wallet has finally made it to the shop. I love these little guys! I made the first of these back in December, on a night when I had so much work to do it was ridiculous. Sometimes a creative break is exactly what’s needed though.

I had cut some leather for wrap wallets, and then realized I had cut the wrong leather. Instead of setting it aside, I felt stirred up to make something with it. Some buckles, a couple cuts of malt leather, a little bit of brainstorming, a small amount of trial and error… and this little wallet was born.

You can check them out here if you’d like.

herringbone wool

The new herringbone tote is now in the shop. You can find it here.

Have a great weekend! Fingers crossed it’s filled with more of this amazing sunshine we’ve been having. It feels so much like spring these days. xo

we’re open!

Hi folks! The shop is now open. It feels great to see it full again.

There are a few new small items – including the Mini Satchel in Saddle Brown (shown above), the Mini Satchel in Ikat, and a one-of-a-kind snap clutch – as well as a couple more smaller items on the way, and I am excited to be offering a limited edition small satchel in waxed canvas and wool.

Coming soon is the herringbone tote with a darker wool base (also shown above). The 2-tone herringbone tote was the most asked-after bag this holiday season, after I ran out of wool and it was sadly marked “sold out.” I haven’t been able to find a comparable replacement wool for the base, so decided to try something new. I have sourced a superb wool melton, in a dark charcoal color – almost black. It feels amazing to the touch. Once we have some decent light again, I will get it photographed and listed.

In the mean time, there is one herringbone tote available, with the original base color, for anyone who is interested. It has a hidden snap closure (something I was going to release for this bag, but didn’t get to) so the front strap is 5/8″ wide instead of the original 1/2″ wide.

I’ll share more about other new items as the time gets closer. Thanks so much for your enthusiasm. I have felt a warm welcome back with your emails and orders.
