Restocking, again!

Denim + Linen print, red duck handles and lining

Such love of the reversible Market Totes lately, so many going to deserving teachers, coaches, and recent graduates. Since I was down to only four after this weekend (yay!) I filled my weekend with making more, including a new style like the one above- my favorite Japanese imports combine with American denim for a worldly mix.

This Saturday is my last market until June 20th, so if you are looking to pick one (or more!) up, be sure to stop by!

Monday, FunDay!


You have asked and asked, and now I am so pleased to present the new zippered Hobo Slouch Bag! Same perfect size as the original, but with a colorful zipper and inside pocket. 30 inch shoulder strap will be the default, cross body available for custom orders. This is going to be a fun week of making!

A stack of straps...

And the first of 20 new bags for this weekend...

Doesn't Hurt to Try!


So, spring in Iowa means loads of rain. And constant checking that the sump pump is in working order (it always is, but I fear flooded basements). Our sump is under the stairs where there are a few shelves of partially used paints. From the last owners of the house. 13 years ago (or more). We never removed them (don't judge). But today, I found gold (literally)!!!

Huge shout out to Rust-oleum today. This can had been sitting on a shelf over a decade but five minutes of shaking and one thin coat later, and I have some awesome shiny test pieces! You never know until you try!
