🌟 New Year Blues 🌟
If you’re on social media- I’m sure you’ll know what I’m talking about. The year recaps- the engagements- big parties - the big plans for ‘25. Forget about it all. Focus on yourself and your own plans- one little ‘big jump’ at a time

❄️Anakin’s Stain ❄️
Did you know that even our edge stain is handmade! I took a video for a friend to show my mix methods to try- hopefully I look like I know what I’m doing! It also highlights how individual each maker can be- everyone has their own take on a recipe 🤩

A short(ish) update on where I’ve been…..but TLDR
1) My workload went bananas,
2) I ripped my hand open
3) I lost one of my dogs…..
Things are always evolving and changing- but one thing will always stay that same- always, always hug your dog ❤️

🌟 MMTM- Vision 🌟
I’m sure many of you think my goals involve being on screens (in front or behind) and that I spend my time chasing these opportunities and you couldn’t be farther from the truth. I don’t really care about any fame or prestige- I just want to make stuff and have a happy life. Sure when I get asked to be a part of them I always say yes- spread the word of saddlery and leather at all costs- but at the end of the day I don’t want to be a personality- I wanna be a saddler. Here’s a little snippet of ‘Oul Treasures’ on BBC1 NI (you can catch it on iplayer) where a number of items are restored to former glory and a number of skills and trades are shown through out.

🌟 Making ‘The Moses Basket’ 🌟
What you see vs what you didn’t see- oh man I’ve over 20 hours of video watching me gradually descend into madness- there would have been more but I ran out storage on my phone 😅. Yes there’s a million things I coulda, shoulda, woulda done but here we are! Thankfully even after all this I still really want to learn and improve on those rawhide skills!
