Across Leather for March

March 2016 a peek into my shop. Really there’s nothing to see but I am feeling 1000% better and a increase in fun / leather work will be on the rise. I had paracentesis performed 5 x’s and have not had to go back in over two weeks. My fluids are great. It has been a long 6 months and I apologize for all my late orders as I walk this house with heavy guilt.

Is it flutterby or butterflies for leather keychains for this spring?

butterfly in primary colors with a blue background. It all started in England. Where the original name for what we now know to be a butterfly was flutterby or was it vice versa…? Some called it a spoonerism, a breakdown on the passing of the word(kinda like I caught one this big) and many have used it as a more descriptive way in saying “butterfly”. I wonder if it happened on a day like today.  My NaNa always use to say, Lawrence do you know where the most beautifullllllllll women in the World are from? I’d say no NaNa. My Mom’s Mom would say County Cork Ireland and that’s where I’m from. I would say you have to be from there because you are beautiful too!! So from my NaNa and Me Happy St Patrick’s Day!!!

Severe duty leather dog collars

Both of these dog collars are outfitted for severe duty. Geared towards the protection industry or if you’re looking for a really cool one of a kind collar, you’ve arrived.

I just thought I’d share my latests works. Prior to these pieces I’ve been on the mend. A  big shout out to Lisa Sylvester on her birthday today! Happy Birthday Lisa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
