Hey all,

So my skin is still peeling like mad. I’m beginning to think I should start rubbing myself against a tree or rock like a snake to help the sloughing of my epidermis.

Speaking of skin, I’m finally working with some of the leather I bought. I am attempting to make my first pouch, attempting being the emphasized word. I’ll let ya’ll know how it turns out. I hope to have it done in time for faire. My other pouches are great but they are bulky and thick (which is nice for protection of the cell phone), but I think I’d rather have something lighter and not so laterally obtrusive. Especially now that I’m in the pottery shop…I mean really I’m big enough lets not add bits that stick out even more…uh ok get your minds out of the gutter, you know what I mean.  So anyway, like I was saying I was working with the leather I had brought and was trying to use a fabric pencil to layout my pattern. It wasn’t working very well. It then dawned on me that leather is pretty much just the skin of an animal and hey, I’ve got a surgical skin marker…I wonder? Yep, that damned little purple marker works wonders for my cut marks and so forth.

I’ve also been working on cleaning up my endless list of favorites on my computer. There are so many dead links and sites I really don’t need to have cluttering up my list so I’m working my way down the list and the delete button is getting quite the work out. I found this on my list so if anyone is interested in the GPS location of our house it is :
