I am in love with this XSmall leather harness. The copper colour with the black is really pretty (in my opinion). I’m making sizes XSmall to XXLarge for the dog fashion show at the Calgary Women’s Show April 11th & 12th. My 2nd year hosting the dog fashion show there. Very honoured to be returning

Added a cute little hummingbird to the leather hair bun holders. Just something a little different!

@mark-carney.bsky.social I, as an Albertan, am asking you to expel the US Ambassador to Canada. Inciting treason woukd be a good reason. Thank you.

Withthe arrest of Don Lemmon, the US has now moved into the next and possibly final phase of becoming a dictatorship. The silencing of the press. Previously it was by threats and lawsuits. It is now at the arrest phase. Good bye Land of theFree

Did this little phone carrier up today. Fits a cell phone and wallet eith room to spare and has 2 small pockets, 1 front 1 back, magnetic closure for easy in/out. Made from 100% full grain leather, cut and stitched by hand. I did use a purchased chain strap, I just like the look of them.

Elbows up!

@cbsnews.com What/who are you afraid of? You no longer have the right to call yourselves journalists. Please change your name to CBS entertainment. Much more accurate. Very disappointed (not that you care).

I know its winter. I know butterflies are a summer thing. But it's cold here, so I'm making butterfly hair stick holders in defiance of the current cold spell.

☠️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Just a little shift to the side with this. Not sure what their proper name is, if anyone knows, please let me know.

Are any of tomorrow's elections for Congress or Senate seats? If so, if a Democrat wins, how/when will they ever get sworn in?

Almost done. This one has a giant pocket on the inside. A great every day tote. All hand made and stitched. Very relaxing to make. Deep cherry red leather on a wonderful navy blue leather. It may be a keeper!

My new favourite! Lots of hole punching, lots of hand sewing. Worth every minute. Went in a different direction from others, decided on the embossed floral white/silver instead of the normal red or purple. The Coffin purse a little more feminine. But I’ll still probably make it in red/black!

Just a nice little card holder. Cow leather tanned to look like snake skin. White and grey outside, beautiful black interior. Handstitched because it relaxes me.

This bracelet was just fun to make. Dragon scaled leather with a glass “dragon eye” in the centre.

Keychains made from scrap leather. Nothing goes to waste in my workroom! If it can't be recycled (fabric and leather cannot), then I will hold onto it until I find a use! Below are kitty keychains that i finally found to use the long thin strips left over from making collars.

Another card holder - Elk. All made from 100% full grain leather, dyed and sewn by hand.

Well this didn’t last long in the store! Yay!! It was so much fun to make, now I have a reason to make more.

A simple 3D style card carrier.

Just because.

These 2 should probably be sold as a pair. True or not, they make me laugh.

Some days the key chain just fits the mood.

Cleaning up after your dog is necessary, it may as well make you smile. Opens in the back, easily fits a full roll. Dispenses out the mouth. The new vinyl version is still made from upholstery cast offs, keeping it out of our landfills. #dogaccessories #handmadeincanada #buylocal

These are some soft plush toys I'm working on for the Stampede. They are meant for those dogs that snuggle their toys, not heavy chewers. More to follow! #dogs

Here is Lexi, a young pup just learning how fast she can be. She is wearing a 3/4” wide embossed leather collar in turquoise and antique gold. Also pictured is the same pattern in purple and gold. Backed with vegtan leather for strength. Handmade in Canada #dog #madeincanada #handmade #dogcollar

Next up, the beautiful Ashes. One can only hope this ball crazy speedster will stop and smell the flowers! 2 inch full grain leather tapering to a 1 inch buckle. Adorned with leather flowers &Swarovski crystals. #dogs #leatherwork #handmade #madeinCanada

An amazingly talented friend of mine took pictures today of some of my teammates dogs and 1 of mine, wearing my collars. I will be having these printed and laminated to add to my booth at the Calgary Stampede Makers Market. I can't thank her enough for her time and generosity.

@mark-carney.bsky.social In light of the bill just passed by congress for trump, maybe Canada should rethink every “deal” with the US. Canada can/should do better about who we trade with.

This leather collar is pretty enough. No embellishments needed.

And some 2 inch wide regular wrist cuffs

Some more of the wraparound wrist cuffs.

Some of my non dog leather items are going into the Maker's Store at Crossiron Mills in Calgary. Here is a leather cuff I am putting in. Pattern from Weaver Leather. I really like the simplicity of the design. I feed the leather a really dark navy blue and added silver spots.

@cnn.com @abcnewslive.bsky.social @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com Crickets?

🤣

So the only country (including some peguins) not to be hit by tarriffs, is Russia? Why is this not huge news, plastered on every billboard in every red state?

Some of the key fobs I'm making are so cute. Thanks to Nana's Baby Boutique for awesome digitizing. This is an Airedale or could also be the Welsh Terrier.

So I got accepted into the Calgary Stampede Makers Market, all 10 days in July!! So very excited!!!! I've been making my dog stuff on the hopes that I'd get back in, but time to ramp up production!! Sample of pug face key fobs currently in production on my embroidery machine.

Canada and Mexico will be holding peace talks to decide the fate of the US. There is no reason for the US to be involved in the talks. If this bothers any Americans, what are you doing about the Russia-US peace talks regarding Ukraine but not involving them in the talks?

May not be such a great idea to have Gretzky promoting hockey in Canada, considering he backs the person threatening his birth country. Don't get me wrong, I was a huge fan. Wayne's hanging out with trump at mar-a-lardo has tainted those memories.
