Happy Birthday, Hila!

A bit belated, but she won't mind :)
Our little fuzzball turned 1 year old on Halloween! She's gotten so big...
We celebrated with our pack of dogs - they each got a "Pupcake" with their names written in doggie-safe icing. Yeah, sometimes Zura goes a little overboard...

She also adores hunting the local wildlife. She'd rather run around the yard like a maniac chasing a mouse while Zura chases her than come inside at night -.- It's a good thing we like her so much...

Anyways, back to work!

What a summer!

Well, our "convention season" is over now, and it was quite a ride! Thank you to everyone who came to visit us at our Dealer's table or just say hello at Anthrocon or Eurofurence <3 Since conventions are both work and vacation for us, we love hanging out with everyone out of dealer's hours, and talking shop at our table!

We are still caring for our grumpy old husky - Rush - and Zura has had the (bad) luck to be down with two rounds of bronchitis during September. Fun times there... But, she's finally back on track and getting down to business!

Quite a few messages have gone out in the last few days to folks who wanted to have a commission slot. We'll be either firming up details or requesting information, so if you talked to us about a slot between June and late August, be on the look out for a message from Zura or Karma!

Here is our current list and progress, keeping in mind that we normally have several projects in progress at a time.

Aloha, Eurofurence 19!

Well, it's that time of year again!
Tomorrow morning (way too early >.< ), Karma and I will be beginning our annual trek to Eurofurence, currently being held in Magdeburg, Germany!

We will be running a Dealer's Den table again this year, with lots of handcrafted leather goodies, Karma's novel 'So close, yet so far...', and the first two parts of the collaborative trilogy graphic novel: 'Omega Alliance'. We will also have candy! We bribe with sugar! Om nom nom nom!

We'll be staying at the Maritim (thank goodness, I wouldn't want to lug all that stuff to and from the overflow hotel!), and will be arriving sometime Monday by car. Unfortunately we decided not to bring our little husky baby Hila with us, as she is still a bit uncomfortable in crowded places. Maybe next year!

Neither of us will be packing fursuits this year, as the hotel was FAR too hot last year to suit. Karma will be running around in his black leather kilt, so feel free to stop him and ask why he is wearing a skirt :p

We will be leaving Magdeburg on the 26th and returning home the 27th, if all goes to plan.

Phew... Now back to preparations!

Possible work slow-down

Mostly this is an FYI for anyone in our work queues:

There is a possibility of a slow-down in work flow in the near future...
We are caring for Karma's aging husky dog, who has been his companion for the last 13 (going on 14) years, through several moves and three surgeries. Our old fella Rush is requiring lots of attention lately, which really takes a great deal of our energy and attention. Since Karma isn't physically able to get down and sit on the floor with Rush, a lot of the coaxing him to eat falls to Zura.

We're mainly trying to make him as comfortable as we can, and let him know that we love him. He is under the care of two veterinarians right now, one of whom specializes in the care of aging dogs. We're cuddling him lots, and letting him stay with us in rooms of the house he normally isn't allowed in (due to food disputes with our other dogs).

Please pardon the lack of general updates, and rest assured that we are working as best we can, both on our commission queues and stock for Eurofurence.

Stuff, Stuff, and more Stuff!

Goodies Galore!

Woo, boy! It's been a while since we've posted here, but don't think we haven't been busy!

After a break for the holidays last year, we got busy... moving. Granted, it wasn't far, but it sure was complicated. We also had to completely replace our leather workstations to better, more suited work tables. Maybe now I'll be able to still move after a long work session ^.^

We've been back in gear and cranking out leather goodies for a couple months now, in preparation for Anthrocon. We've been confirmed for a Dealer's Den table, so one or both of us will be camped out there during open hours. 

Karma will have lots of his adjustable bracelets in different widths and his published works, "So Close... Yet So Far" and "Omega Alliance" Books I and II available for purchase. He's also quite willing to make personalized dedications in any of the books while he's lurking about.

Zura will be armed with tons of different stuff this year! New models of key chains, bottle carriers, lots of belt pouches, book covers and... New Stuff!

TCG Deck Box Carriers with Pouch

Smartphone Pouch with Card Slots

Stainless Steel Flasks with Carved Cover

 Between the two of us, we'll have over 200 leather items for sale! Yipes, that's gonna take a lot of room in the luggage... We will (of course!) be taking after-con commissions as well.

Stay tuned for more info!
