In the mix

Caramel drawstring bag that I made from recycled leather and a little crocheting too. Getting cozy for the cold weather.

Wild Thang

Quick post, while I wait for my recycled leather to come in the mail I picked up some more yarn and this is what happened.....

Crochet + Leather

When yarn and leather meet this is what happens. I try to use every piece of leather that I have laying around, waste not want not! I think this is a pretty good combination.

Eye Catching Print

I did a little thrifting over the weekend and this top had me at first glance!!!! The print is insane, it's a button up, shirt in the front and long in the back, with a few buttons down the back center for pleating. It's absolutely amazing!! More pis to come

In Between Time Hobby

When I have a little down time I like to crochet and this is the perfect time of year to get started. I live this yarn, the color pops and it works well with my Goodwill find (denim jacket)!

Black On Black

I took a moment away from sewing and worked on some jewelry. I got these amazing black disk beads from a special store, the beads come from Africa and they are so great to work with. I made a clay bead for the center and it looks pretty cute on this black leather cord.

Backpack

My love of recycling leather lead me to create this chocolate backpack. I found some amazing leather that came from a vintage leather couch and I figured I would try to make a nice backpack. This leather is pretty nice and easy to work with. I think the finished product came out kind of nice.
