A rare looking into my own tea station at home!

Plenty of delicious teas, but the most important part of tea making, the strainer/bags!

I've owned a lot of tea strainers in my life, and this one is by far my favorite for at home tea drinking. The single use bags are also great, but mostly for on the go.

You can get both on my site now at https://www.velashandcrafted.com/shop/p/fine-mesh-tea-strainer and pick up a tea bag or two!

Follow up to my Leather Crafting Day! I've been working on several projects lately, but I've been excited to complete this one!

6oz chrome tanned leather, mixed color brown and turquoise, with gunmetal hardware. This gentleman leather briefcase is perfect for carrying a laptop along with planner, documents in the main pocket. And with the divider in the front pocket, I can separate and carry smaller items. This took 30+ hours to complete, but worth every minute.

A few months ago, I completed a mini backpack for my partner, she had been wanting something to carry a few things when she was out and about instead of a full sized bag.

Made with 3-4oz chrome tanned leather, copper hardware throughout. Perfect for small items, and a pocket in the front for a phone or cards/cash.

Happy Leathercraft Day!!

I’ve been working hard on other projects, so I decided to treat myself to a laptop sleeve, made with 6oz chrome tan leather, perfect for my laptop!

I’m also working on a leather briefcase to carry this around as well. But it’s a 20+ hour project, so once it’s done I’ll share it, but until then. Keep crafting friends! Or buy some if you prefer to support a small business!
