August thru October Summary

Well, we've had quite a ride the last couple of months!
After coming home from Eurofurence and face-planting in the bed for a couple days, Zura started trying to catch up with house related stuff (cleaning, repairs and such). 

After unearthing our worktables, we were all set to get back to work and had to put it on hold for some maintenance and upkeep type stuff around the house that needed to be done before the weather turned bad. Around here weather changes fast and it can go from sunny summer to pouring rain and lashing winds overnight. Needless to say we didn't get much leather work done in that period. Tired hands and body are not conductive to what we do. 

Zura was able to get a few Paracord commissions done though: 


Several of the ones pictured here were made on-site at Eurofurence. There is also a group of the smallest bracelets you can imagine for 3 little girls, and the biggest Paracord item we’ve made to date: A belt! The customer asked for “Flashy colors”, and that’s what she got. :D

There’ve been a few small leather work commissions completed and sent out, and those remaining are being worked on as time and fatigue allow.

There has also been something (or several somethings) taking no small amount of our attention for the last few weeks too:


The four little rolly-pollies were born October 15th and are starting to get around pretty good now. They’re getting vocal too. When we pick one of them up, they squeak and bark to each other – even the occasional tiny growl!


Work should start back up at a decent pace, barring anything unexpected. :)
