New Tools

Some of my tools look like they’ve been through a war. A lot of times the tools just aren’t pretty but work. This one, plus the others from the pack have expired. This one came in a set of three that were mini.

My sister said she also wanted new tools so she could start making jewelry again. We drove to Michaels and we both came home with our own set. She bought a different one. This is mine. I picked it because the tools were my favorite color. Purple.

It also has storage compartments on the other side. So organization! Even though I haven’t figured out what should go there…..but progress….

I Sorta Bought A Cow….

After making a trip to Pennstate to talk College-y stuff, my Mom and I went to our local Tandy Leather Shop. This is my type of shopping here. Rows and rows of leather, kits, stamps, dyes and every other type of trinket that goes along with leather.
I came out with this. Yes, a large cow hide. But look how big it is! It’ll last practically forever.

I also bought these. Not as interesting as a giant piece of cow, but they’re still important in their own ways.

The Addiction

During this weekend, Joann’s Fabrics was offering a 20% total purchase along with a 40% any regular priced item. Which meant that all local craft stores had the almighty 20% off the total purchase. With the wonderful coupons, I came home with these. A jewelry mallet, wire, a leather tooling set and sharp thing-ers (I think they are similar to awls).

The leather tooling set really made me excited. With some scraps I played around with the different tooling pieces. I see a western saddle in the future!
