2019 calendar

I found a good source for calendars, did some graphic designing (I love graphic design!), and created a calendar. Here’s the cover image, and I’ll let you know when they arrive!

All-day sewing project

I’m almost finished stitching these boot tops. This is a one-piece top and it’s not easy wrestling this much leather around in the sewing machine and getting 6 rows of stitching on it.

Logo

My new stitched logo is hitting all the right notes for me. It looks good and it’s easy to sew. I like it.

Cowboy boot poster

My cowboy boot poster is completed and for sale. I only have a few in stock because I wanted to see the actual poster before I committed to more. It’s great, the website will allow you to backorder, and more are on the way!

But… I might need it!

I’ve been in Philadelphia for the past few days, attending a tool show for my husband Dale’s business. I found this but he wouldn’t buy it for me. One never knows when a huge hammer might come in handy!

It’s a Boot Life

YouTube video for September: I have a guest instructor explaining how he successfully uses the water-based Aquilim 315 to glue rubber soles.

New shoes

Well, it appears my expectation of being a master shoemaker by the time I finished my second pair of shoes was a little optimistic. (That’s a joke, people!)
I learned a lot, they’re wearable, and I enjoyed making them. Those are all worthy achievements!

Practice

No lasers, no magic, just my hands and an X-Acto knife…
