Some of the stuff I have been working on to practice for my own style/templates and pattern making. Meaning this will all be at my shop at TOPEKA RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL coming in 2025, but at a discount compared to what I would normally price these type items!

I have more to post soon in regard to the type of products I will have this coming year. Those should be more of the "finalized" type pattern designs!

Just what I have been up to the last few months. Message me if you have any leather needs! I prefer a fantasy style, but I can go simple/plain, western, or maybe you have another idea?
I can do a lot of different items too!
Bags
Belts
Dip Can Holders
Wallets
Hat Badges
And more!

Just message me and tell me your idea and I am positive we can work something out!

It's taken me years to realize that I want to lead a creative life.… Felesha Bayless needs your support for Boost a Disabled Veteran's Leather Working Journey

Thank you all who have been watching, liking, and following the page. My family and I have been under going many life changes from moving halfway across the country, to having another baby!

One of these changing being in what I view this business as as well. I started this page for my Pet Rat Breeding Hobby. With that, I sewed hammocks and make toys for the pocket puppies too. That turned into sewing Renfaire outfits for my family and finally landed me at leather work, which I have always loved and wanted to start.
Unfortunately, I can no longer breed my rats and will not continue to own them past the ones I have now. I have developed a serious allergy that is starting to get worse and border lining dangerous for me. But I will always keep them as a part of where this journey began for me.

This page is no longer JUST about my rats. But ALL my hobbies. My leather, drawing/paintings, wood working, cosplay/entertaining, and many many more. I hope you continue to enjoy and support this page and thank you again for your time and support so far!

RatsNScraps is going on a temporary hiatus from breeding and selling. My family and I are going through some major life changes that could take several months to adjust to. Thank you for your support and we look forward to coming back as soon as possible!

Over the next few days/weeks I will be rebranding the Rattery.

I am a very crafty person. I like to crochet, sew, draw, and leather work. With my many crafts and hobbies, I had foolishly tried to run basically 3 small businesses. I thought I had to give some up, but really I just needed to condense them all into one.

My main focus is my leather projects. Second being the Rattery and breeding. The rest are just as I feel like doing them.
I will be working on making these changes throughout all my social medias and hopefully being more active as I have less to manage now.

Thank you for your support and patience as I go through this process.

Goodbye to DaGlitchRattery and Hello to RatsNScraps Hobbies and Crafts. :3

Hey ya'lll! I have gotten several messages since the Expo, asking various things. I'll try to answer as many as I can real quick :3

When is our next vending event?
It will be March 2023. A date hasn't been provided yet, but I'll keep you updated as I learn more. We have been invited to a couple other Expos, however we do not have the means to attend them this coming year.

I can't find your Etsy?
Sigh... this is a common problem for some reason when people try to find my Etsy page. I am trying to fix that. At the same time, I don't have anything posted on that Etsy page for multiple reasons. So, instead, I can start sharing here on my page if ya'll would like? Or send pictures of stock upon request.

When is your next litter due?
At this time it is undecided. I like to thoroughly plan my litters and I like to be very involved with their raising. Because of this, I haven't been able to breed a litter due to my mental health. I refuse to breed a litter I cannot adequately handle and care for. I also will not breed a litter if I am not prepared to house all of the babies, in case they can't find good homes.

These are the most common questions I have been getting. If you have more, please contact me and I will answer to the best of my ability.
