South Africa

I have a friend, Lindsay. She's a very sweet, cool, kick ass chick that loves Life, her adorable cat Splatt, Legos and Star Wars! I've never actually met Lindsay in person, for she lives in South Africa. So we are friends over FaceBook and Instagram. 

I work p/t at Petco at night. Several years ago we started carrying Star Wars dog & cat toys.
*Petco does not have stores in her part of the world*
It took me a little while to do it but I sent her a care package from America with some toys for her and Splatt and a abstract pendant! 


Seriously though, how freakin' adorable is this cat !?!

A lil girl and her dog!

This is my friend Mary's adorable daughter Ellie, and their awesome dog Zelda sporting one of my paracord leashes!
I love seeing my work in use!

A Happy Camper, and a Captain !


This is Camper! He was being held at knife point for ransom. when a kind stranger stepped in and rescued him. That person gave him to Kayla and Ian. 
I gave Kayla one of sample leashes.... 
A few weeks later she ordered a custom leash!

Golden Snitch

I'm a really big fan of Harry Potter, the books and the movies alike! 
Soooo..... I decided to make myself a Snitch! 
28 gauge gold plated crafting wire was used. It's about the size of a tennis ball.... So it's a bit bigger than the ones in the movies ( can't imagine most people could catch this thing with their mouth)


This would make on helluva Christmas ornament! Or just an everyday decoration!

The Grateful Dogs!!

A few weeks ago I met a nice guy named Derek who's a dog trainer, we exchanged cards. Today I had nice meeting with him.
I made him a custom slip lead for handling aggressive dogs.
In return he was nice enough to give me a shout out.
He based on the Willow Grove P.A area
