Office Space

Yesterday I stopped into Tundra for a single bag of grommets and (as so often happens) walked out with a little bit more than I’d planned.

One of these things was a small cut of lipstick-pink leather I got a good deal on. I’m kind of wishing I had a whole lot more now because [...]

Belted and Buckled

I don’t know about you, but I got so much done over the weekend. I’m consequently exhausted today, but man alive, did I accomplish. I accomplished like crazy.

Not only did I wallpaper my studio and move all my tools and furniture in, Sean and I managed to re-arrange our house into some logical approximation [...]

Stu-stu-studio!

Or am I thinking of a different song?

I’m having a decorating dilemma. Don’t call Debbie Travis – I’ve disliked her since Canada Reads.

Which of the following should I put on a single wall in my studio (the other three will be two white and one brick)? Please note that whichever of the four [...]

Crossing T’s…

…dotting I’s and putting everything in its place. My printer’s tray – functional!

ALSO – a happy birthday goes out to my favourite friend! I’m your biggest fan.

Hope you enjoy your present/literal interpretation of my fan-dom. You will when it’s summer in your new shop.

Sitting Pretty

My new couch – the first piece of furniture in the studio. Most of the pictures didn’t turn out, so I apologize for the “sneak peek” style of the ones that did.

Studio Sneak Peek

If you keep up over here, you’ll know DBH is moving into a new building this spring.

I’m not exaggerating in the slightest when I say it’s going to be incredible. It’s a perfect place with so much space and potential for the vision Sean has been obsessing over ever since we visited New York/toured [...]

Peachy Keen

Our peach tree grew a piece of fruit!

And our living room grew a studio!

Yeah…I moved it again. I need to switch things up every once in a while. It’s the same instinct that convinces me, every other week, that we need to sell the house and move to Newfoundland! No, Yellowknife! [...]

Buying Trip

Yesterday I bought the beginnings of the amount of leather I’m going to need for Hillside. This should do a few purses and belts, some guitar straps, endless bracelets and hairbands, and a good little stash of hip holsters and clutches.

We have friends visiting from out of town today, so who knows how much [...]

Back in Brown

One night of car camping. Barely scratched at my desire. Who wants to ride away to the NWT on a bike? Or maybe we could go east? Through Quebec and up towards Newfoundland?

You do the mapping. I will do the packing. In the meantime, here are some photos…

Thanks for the plate Rob!

Meet my New Friend…

…Kicky the Kick Press! I’m trying to upload a sweet instructional video on its use, but my inate technological impairment = slow going.

WordPress won’t accept the file size and YouTube will be another 190 minutes.

In the meantime, here are some stills.
