Ack! Thanks, guys.

blue, over $200 - under $500. It'll be awhile before I see it, though. My deadline to submit items, (with step-by-step instructions), is July 23rd.

When I'm in a better position, I'll do a couple of slim wallet giveaways. Meanwhile, think of an image you'd like me to use if you win. Heh.

Thanks, RA. I just love those tins...love making 'em. There's just something about working with resin that is so cool, to me. I had a yard sale, recently, and the first tin that sold was the Dude. I gave my sister a larger espressobeans tin filled with chocolate covered espresso beans...she had yard work to do and I thought it would give her an energy boost. Heh.

I've been researching RFID blocking fabric...the fabric that protects your c/c info from getting scanned/stolen. While researching, I learned that the tins are RFID blocking. So, if you're traveling...stash your c/c's in your EB tin, RA. The experts say that, as of now, RFID blocking isn't a big deal, yet. They say you're more likely to get your info stolen from one of the fake/ATM attached gadgets that the crooks use. Also, wallets carried in the front pocket is the way to go. It's pretty obvious if someone comes up to you and scans your groinal area. Heh. There will come a day, though, that they won't need to use a scanner ...smart-ass crooks out there, for sure.

You can see the Dude and Espressobean tins that I made for RA, here @ 1:28. https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=V5j3ZCS2CQY

Being back in Humboldt county, walking to the beach from the back door, jumping into the freezing cold Pacific, listening to khum all day and drinking cold beers from my old brewery.

When you order from a new food place for work and they get there fast. label all the orders. and get everything right.

i mean sometimes i dont fault them too hard. i have to order for about 10-15 people daily. so it can be alot in one order.

wouldn't say it was excellence. just an anti pet peeve

Today, I just finished making my first (real?) bags - this dog walking set. Cross body bag with pouch and doggie treat/poop bag dispenser combo clip-on.

I created the pattern for the cross body bag. The poop bag/dog treat pouch was made from a purchased pattern. Love 'em. Bday present to myself - dog treat/poop bag dispenser for my sister's bday coming-up.

I have quite a bit of this fabric left-over...hit me up if you're interested in either/or.

Work in progress.
