Who doesn’t love dog kisses when you are having a bad day!! Anyway, between my love for dogs and love of making things, I have had to narrow my interests down in the last few years mostly due to floor space. My husband said I need to start selling rather than just buying. (Crafts…not the dogs!)
I have narrowed my craft interests down to working with leather, and recently material I can use in my
Glowforge. I started collecting leather tools more than 20 years ago. My bestie from high school and I joked that we were practicing to be TMI (Tandy Merchandise Inspectors) when we grew up…because we kept buying things from Tandy, but not actually putting them to use! Recently, I gotten addicted to creating some really neat items with the help of Makers Leather Supply (makersleathersupply.com) and Tandy Leather (tandyleather.com). All of their wonderful templates and videos have allowed me to get out of my comfort zone and create awesome items, that up until now have only been given as gifts. To tell the truth…the Mystery boxes from Makers Leather Supply are my weakness!!! The recipients of these gifts have been very vocal about wanting me to sell what I make, and different ways to personalize the items. That is where the Glowforge has come in. I purchased it to personalize my leather products. The bonus of that decision, is I can do many other things with the Glowforge as well! Yay!! However, please bear with me, since I am still a Glowforge newbie, but I can’t wait to see what kind of things I can create! So, thank you for reading this little description of me. I hope you will be frequent visitor to my site and check out the new things I decide to experiment with!! PS - if you are wondering…Emma is one of my German Shepherds. She keeps me company quit often in my craft rooms, and really has a need to destroy bubble wrap! Thanks again for stopping by! Denise
