And it feels good. I’ve got a little extra help for the next few weeks since all of the embassy kids are on winter break. A sweet young lady has been coming by to hang out with my sweet young lady while I sneak back into my studio. I’ve had so many ideas and projects stacking up. I’m making the absolute most of my time.
My first project was this iPad cover. I had been cruising on line to try to find something that appealed, quickly becoming overwhelmed by choices. It always happens like this. I find some things I like, balk at the prices, carry on and then curse myself when I realize that during the slack-jawed hours I’ve wasted on line I could’ve made one by now. Lesson learned? Probably not.
I wanted an easy project to oil my gears and work out the kinks and dust that collect when one has been away from their tools for over a year (!). The straight forward design came together quickly and without headache or profanity. This little tiny success felt amazing. Bravo, me! 
This week’s project is a leather box/basket to hold the Bushbaby’s collection of wood building blocks. I want something that’s sturdy, easy to clean and good looking enough to have a semi-prominent spot next to the sofa. And since my language instructor has already given me payment for a laptop bag, I suppose I’d better get crackin on that too.
I am glad you seem to have found a way and time to do what you love. I hope that you get more and more oportunities to do so as you adjust to your nomadic life
love
oooh yay! I can’t wait to see all of the finished products!! Post them please!
Love the case and also can’t wait to see your other projects! Yey for creative juices flowing, time and a little help!!!
Nice work. I always wondered what the studio was for. See you soon
I’m so happy to see you back at your art! Love the iPad cover! Is that real crocodile skin?
verrrrrry cool, Eve!
Stacey-thank you! It does feel great. I know you can identify! Although, now that you’re a married woman, are you staying put for a bit??
Dani- I plan to. It’s sort of my fuel for blog fire. That way my focus is shifted from “poor, poor me” to a much happier and productive me. I like it!!
Daniela-Thank you and I couldn’t agree more. It’s my Prozac.
Alisa- That and so much more. Looking forward to meeting you soon!
Heather!! I miss you guys. It’s not croc, it’s embossed cow. A remnant a friend of mine gave me after she reupholstered a chair. Hope your purses are getting lots of use! Love to you and C.
Lana-Thank you! Hope you’re doing well. xo
Awesome! So glad to see that you have been able to pick it up again. You are amazingly talented. I hope things continue well for you.
That is AWESOME. I’m hoping to get back to my studio as well…. Can’t wait to see more
I love this!!
