love them like crazy

I love when people request something custom!  It has the most lovely side effect, getting me out of my everyday box.

Recently requested was a strap for a violin case.  What a novel idea!  Identical to my ever-popular guitar straps in every way but the hardware.  Instead of leather tabs, I add swivel clips.

I'm always seeing people carrying their instruments on and off of buses, and the subways of Americas largest cities are just ripe with musicians!  Might as well arrive in style to your next gig right?

I was seriously tempted to keep this strap for myself, had it not been for the adorable message this momma wanted stitched for her daughter.  "Julia - You are loved like crazy."

So, off this baby went today, not without a photo session and a new item being added to my shop.  Case straps.  What a great idea!

In other news, welcome to August!  I'm seriously glad to be inching towards fall as the heat and summer storms continue to pummel my lawn.  It's either a scorcher or a monsoon.  Perhaps fall will bring some stability?!
