Stitch and Hammer ➾ Maker/Merchant

Amy of Stitch and Hammer handcrafts the most sumptuous leather goods around. She recently asked me to be part of her Maker/Merchant series which features Bay Area based craftspeople in their workspaces. My answer was a resounding Y-E-S since I admire her work and truly enjoy seeing the workspaces of others. Why not share mine?

well, hi there....

I'm always busy, but usually I can squeeze in half an hour to write a blog post a couple times a week. As of late, this has not been so. I've been welcoming 12 hour studio days with sort-of open arms. My view for the past solid 2-3 weeks has been bench, tools, jewelry and furiously working hands. I've been working on wedding projects, prepping for meetings in NYC and for a trunk show on gorgeous Cape Cod. Red-eye tonight to the East Coast. Much more to share soon, promise. xo

Happen to be sunning yourself on Cape Cod this week? Come visit me at my trunk show!

Mess!

This is how my bench looks after days of non-stop work.  Quite messy, huh?  For some reason, when I have a ton of work to do, I just can't justify taking 10 minutes to clean up and start fresh. Perhaps I should rethink this strategy.
