Apologies for being away for so long. My computer decided to fade into a slow decline this spring. In all fairness, it was a wonderful computer that lasted a long time and even as it started to have issues, at least it was slow and steady so I had time to transfer data and use it still until new computer arrived but it made computer activities a draining experience so blog was not on list of priority uses. I highly suspect that the removal of PSE will grant it additional life but since I need and use PSE it had to be replaced. I went with an all in one computer this time and I really am so happy with it.
I have been working on leather wallets and card holders but first I must show you the lovely pink pearlized leather hobo I recently made. It's an eye catching purse and the leather is just amazing. I went with the hobo silhouette to best showcase all that lovely pink pearlized color. I did run into some issues with attaching the straps. Because of the thickness, sewing through that many layers marred the strap and I didn't notice until I was done. So I won't put it up for sale. What I did was add some slipcovers but they are "bumpy" so I won't put it up for sale. I did consider cutting strap down and attaching slip covers then attaching to some spring hooks to regain the length from cutting but in the end decided to just keep it for myself. It was little frustrating because I had been so cautious and careful throughout the process--pink pearlized leather is not cheap. Then at the very end saw the marring on the straps. If I had noticed it on the first attached end I could have slid covers on before attaching second end. Alas, I thought I was in the home stretch all clear. Oh well, now I will be using it instead of putting it in the shop.
