GARDENING , LEATHER BAGS AND BEAD WORK

At Thunder Rose Leather John and I have been busy making beautiful custom orders and  doing some gardening in the evening. It doesn't start to get dark now until 7:00 pm so we have the luxury of a long day. It's raining today yea!  The garden is looking good. We planted some really beautiful evergreen shrubs that are good desert plants and promising good shade in the afternoon hot sun. The leaves are red and green.
They are called Red Tip Photinia. They are so pretty! I am planting some purple sunflowers in between this year just for the beauty of all the colors and of course the birds love sunflowers.

We have a couple new items to show you. I love the way these leather phone bags turned out. The colorful bead work is totally my style. All bead work and leather work is my style. Ha ha!
I have always loved beads and leather and how they come together so beautifully.
So here you go, take a look.





A chocolate brown leather phone bag made in a soft, strong elkskin leather and has long tied fringe and a beaded sunburst. This is a great phone bag. It measures 6 inches tall, 5.5 inches wide and has a 48 inch braided strap that is perfect for wearing crossbody. We can make the strap any length you like . We will always work with your needs.

My latest projects art and gardening

 My latest bead work project was a beaded hummingbird bag.




 I love making beaded hummingbirds. As I sit in my garden they will come right up to me and stop in mid-air to say hello. It makes me feel so good.
The hummingbirds are doing some amazing dancing right now. 
Another project I have been doing is painting a table and some free benches someone gave me for our garden.


My garden is doing real well. I had a lot of  trouble  with gofers last year. I had to redo several of my raised beds. The chicken wire that I have under my raised beds wore out and I had to replace it. So that was a big project. A lot of shoveling.
Here is a picture of  one of my beds.

It is very happy! I love gardening . It is so grounding .


Thanks for stopping by! I would love to hear from you. So leave a comment and let me know what you are up to  in your day.
