Whats new for Thunder Rose Leather

We have been busy here at Thunder Rose Leather. Today I would like to share some our newest items. I love making baby moccasins. We have a variety of sizes that I have shown you before. My inspired thought was to create a little set for your new baby. A tiny beaded bag, first baby's bag. Of course this is more of a keepsake for mom and baby and can be handed down or kept in a special place to show your Grandchildren. The newborn moccasins will be perfect for your new baby and are beaded with beautiful colors of seed beads. I created a set for a baby girl and a baby boy. 
I have also been wanting to play with different colors of leather. So we got some turquoise blue deer skin. It's a beautiful color of turquoise blue leather and is very soft.

So let me show you.



The newborn baby moccasins in this set measure four inches heel to toe and are beaded by me in glass seed beads. The bead colors are turquoise blue, forest green, chocolate brown, turquoise green  and a darker shade of blue.
The small leather pouch is beaded to match the baby boy leather moccasins. These moccasins are made of saddle tan elkskin leather.
Can you imagine being at a baby shower and watching everyone's face when the new mom opens a baby gift like this ?

These newborn baby girl moccasins are beaded by me in pink, silk green and silk purple glass seed beads. The small leather pouch is beaded to match the newborn baby moccasins. 
These soft baby moccasins are made in saddle tan elkskin leather.

These are the turquoise blue deerskin baby moccasins I was talking about. They are so beautiful and soft for a newborn baby. These newborn baby moccasins measure 4 inches heel to toe and make a great baby shower gift.

Fringed Leather Totes

I would like to share a beautiful designer tote from Thunder Rose Leather. This fringed leather tote has lots of fringe and is a large tote. It could be used for an everyday bag, a carry on bag when traveling or whatever your needs are. It is an amazing bohomian gypsy bag . The color of this handbag is cream but as you know we are made to order so you may have this bag made in whatever color you see on our website. Also you can have the shoulder strap any length you like. 

FRONT VIEW

 As you can see this designer tote has a lot of fringe. It has fringe all around, down the middle and on the back as you can see in the last picture. It also has an antler tip closure. It is stunning!

FRONT VIEW


SIDE VIEW

 In this side view of this boho gypsy tote you will notice there are antler buttons for decoration and support.

BACK VIEW


This hobo handbag is over the top. It measures 13" tall, 15" wide and 6" deep, features an extra pocket inside. It made with elkskin leather and is hand stitched one stitch at a time. We can make this bag in any color or combination of colors you see in our shop.
So if you like a large handbag / tote this is the fringed bag for you.
If you are unsure about getting it dirty you really should get it in a darker color. If you have no problem with the antiqued look then you will be okay with cream. It just depends on your needs.
If you like bead work this bag could be around the edges in our linear style of bead work.
You can find this bag here:


Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
Blessings!

Everyday life after making leather and beads .
I have been working at planting a small garden. Something I love to do every spring.

So here are a few pics from our organic garden so far. You will see weeds and grass. I do what I can . I don't use any chemicals. I make my own dirt from my compost. This is not a better homes and garden garden this is a country, down home, easy going garden.

Lemon Balm it makes a really refreshing tea. Like mint it loves to grow.


This is a leek. It will be going to seed soon. We love leeks around here.

This is my mullein plant. I will be harvesting this one soon and letting my other one go to seed.
I collected seeds one day when we were cutting fire wood in the woods. Thought I'd see if they would grow here in our garden. They replant themselves every year.
The other little plant you see is a swiss chard that will be going to seed soon. The little birds really love eating the leaves.

This is a volunteer arugula plant that came up along side the raised bed. I will be collecting the seeds soon.

My jerusalem artichokes are very happy. They are really good in salads and love to grow in Arizona.

I planted purple cabbage this year. I don't usually grow cabbage. I have learned that the moths come and lay eggs to the cabbage family and that's that. It gets hot fast here. So my plan is to let them go till the moths come. Eat the beautiful purple leaves. I have some rainbow chard growing in with them so when they come out the rainbow chard will be growing and ready to eat soon.
 A  couple more leeks.

This our my fur baby Rosie. Waiting on me to go for a walk. She is so patient. We love her so much. She is a really fantastic family member and friend. We are so lucky to have her.

So this is it. I love my connection to Mother Earth . I am very grateful for my beads and leather. My family means everything to me.
Much love and light to all!
Debbie
