Buyer was pleased with his commission for his girlfriend!
First time doing a knife sheath, and it's been a while since I've done any tooling, but love how it turned out. Made a pancake sheath with an inner welt for a small Damascus steel with bone handle knife.

Info from buyleatheronline.com/en/blog/croc... (with alt text): I've attached a close-up of the MAL bag, and a picture from a genuine Himalayan Birkin. Can you see the pore at the bottom of the scales in the genuine croc? Do you see the difference in the scale shape?

Miss Zoe. The vet said it was congestive heart failure. I think her heart was just too full of love for everyone and everything. I miss her every damn day.

The ball in the box hit the button really hard today. Social media hasn't been a help either.
While I read about everything going on, I try to not post about current events here because I figure maybe others need a break from time to time too.
Here...I painted a thing. Take a deep breath with me.

We unpacked all of the kitchen boxes yesterday and decided we needed a new breadbox. So I got one and put it together. It's definitely not the highest of quality, but I like it! As Martha says, "It's the little things..."

Highly recommend Concept 2's website and workout of the day (www.concept2.com/training/wod) even if you don't have their RowErg. Let me know if you want any tips, advice, or motivation!

I know it's rough celebrating the 4th of July today for many people.
But it's my wonderful husband's birthday, so let's celebrate @leoloren.bsky.social instead!

That would be awesome! I had to construct something from cardboard because everything I found was for mini-painting or nail polish and just didn't fit the bigger jars.

Meme aside, I do like what I do and everything, I'm just tired. Feels like it's been way more than 6 years.

We might not get it often, but when we do, we make the best of it! (Only got about 1" here in Durham)

Also designed shirts for my business, reconnected with one of my cousins (and got my grandmother's pasty recipe), dealt with my brother and his car, renewed my passport for the cruise (and that opens doors to more travel), and will be welcoming (Mini) Cooper into our home once we move.

First pupper got up and moved to another bed. His warm spot was immediately commandeered by another pupper.
I'm stuck here all night.
Paying the pupper tax: Cooper in his bed, and Lily who stole his spot.

Looking at ways to personalize the new house and let the neighbors know who will be living among them.
So...doormats!
Kinda in love with these.

And after we move, we'll be bringing home Mr. Mini Cooper. He's a rescue that my MIL fostered and we've been wanting to bring home since March. Good thing we didn't, so we don't have to haul him back across the country! Officially part of the family!
