*gasp*

Well, as luck would have it, one of my co-workers at the night job asked if I wanted to switch for a morning shift and I said, "Sure thing!" because I rarely make any money on a Friday night. Mostly because I feed on the tip share and they throw a couple extra bodies on for the weekends, meaning less money for me.
And I'll have the evening to relax, for once, on a Friday.
Really, I need to get some work listed this morning, but instead I goofed off in the etsy forums.
So here's one of my new coin purses that i will be putting up this afternoon:

Treasure-fied!

I am in TWO treasuries!!

Hooray!Here's the first one by Dorijenn!And this one by Jesskiri!

Thank you! I needed the love :)

Birthdays Cuffs and Blogs

Today is my friend's birthday! I think.
I asked my sister when it was and she said tomorrow so it must be today.
Confused?
It's one of my sister's ex boyfriends from way back. She knew his birthday. He told me a just a few years ago that he tracked down his birth certificate and discovered his actual birth date is the day before he always celebrated.
So..... I think his birthday is today.
But if I'm wrong and I call him up to wish him well, he'll say, "You forgot my birthday again."

In OTHER friend news:
Today I read an interview with my friend and Etsy-shop-owner Bicycleocean!It's an EXCELLENT interview! Click HERE to read it. Or on the Jackie-O Bunny picture above.

AND I made a bunch more cuffs. I really cannot make myself halt the creative process - even when I'm running out of storage room due to slow sales. I made about five different items yesterday and if I go into the shop today I'll make another 5. Really, I should stay in and list, but we'll see how the day goes....

Don't forget to check out my Give-Away! Ends February 15th!

Deedle doo

I'm done with one of my custom bags - it's silver and white!and I've been working on some high-end cuffs (genuine exotics like ostrich and alligator). Here's one of my favorites so far:
And speaking of cuffs.... don't forget about my SHIPPING SALE going on until December 24th!
All cuffs ship within the US for only 40 cents!

Front Page

Wow! I woke up to a flurry of new hearts and began to do some investigating. I discovered my genuine black cherry ostrich wallet was on the front page!And now I need to get my rear end into the shop because I have quite a few custom orders to make! Two custom Buddy Bags (similar to these):

And a custom card case. It will be a fun day, no?

Cuff it Up

In hopes of some early holiday sales I've been listing more of my new cuffs.
Here's one of my latest:I've been doing some early holiday shopping myself. There's so many awesome gifts-to-be out there, it's hard to choose! But here's some items on my own wish list:
How cute are these parrot slippers by Piddies? I've been wanting a pair of slippers for a while (believe it or not, I've never owned a pair) and these would totally rock!
And I just want this weird tote by Meatbagz. They have veggie ones, too.And there's nothing more to say about this awesome sweater from Junkprints other than "I want I want"! Oh, hell, you could buy me anything from Junkprints and I'll be happy :)
They have everything from kickin' bags to re-claimed one-of-a-kind fashions!

It's *cold*

Boy did I get a shock when I woke up this morning - It's 60 degrees outside! In South Florida - that's a really big deal. That means sweaters, long pants and shivering! I know anyone who lives in a northern state will laugh at this, but it's all relative. Even when I lived in KC and was knee-deep in snow I knew there were people in Maine, Michigan and Alaska who were neck-deep in snow. Which reminds me - I'm not a big fan of snow. Which is why I came back down to Florida.

60 degrees. *ppfft! I've got a jacket on right now and I'm inside. (Floridians don't typically use heaters.)

And in other amazing news, here's my new treasury that I made!
And here's one with Allen's Beer Holster! By taragilchrist.

Amazing Saturday Funtime

Saturday is day two of the weekend-long bike build-off in Lake Park today with Jack the Bike Man!
Allen will be busy fixing bicycles to sell today and tomorrow so I'm determined to list things in between my own work.
Yesterday I made some wicked new cuffs:

From left to right - Red ostrich, purple ostrich, and blue fish.

I have a couple more, too, and I'm designing a pair of alligator sandals. But first I'm doing a fish mock-up.
We'll see how it goes.

Enjoy your weekends!

Leather Time

Yesterday I created like a madwoman - I made several cuffs, a cosmetic case, even an ostrich card wallet! And Allen's working on a sweet caterpillar cuff!I was in a couple more treasuries, too, but I seem to have lost my screen shots. Lame.
Today I have much more I need to work on, much more to do. Maybe I should order a custom leather stamp on Etsy?

Monday Madness

I'm in a treasury by aclairejewelry! I don't check the treasuries often, but lately I haven't seen myself in any when I do. But today I'm in TWO! Awesome way to start the week!

Plus, check out this bug video. These little beasts keep taking a swim in my pool and I keep having to rescue them. I have pictures posted in my photo blog.

short and sweet

I must list things today - so much so that I should not be blogging, I should be listing. And then it's off to work. And then tonight...... the VP debates! Or I could watch something more interesting like Smallville or It's always Sunny in Philadelphia. Actually, I think I'll have Allen tape them for me.

Woot! Woot!

So.... I've been blogged: http://moxiephotoanddesign.blogspot.com/
Thank you moxiethrift!

Allen's been working on some more tooling. He's made a few cuffs and yesterday finished this celtic loop tooling which will be added to a messenger bag.
And here's a cuff that I've been working on. Hopefully I'll get it listed today (among other things). I just cannot seem to get motivated today! Argh!
