Before moving to Ottawa (almost 2 years ago), everyone we met during our visits tell us, “Ottawa is a great place to raise kids.” I understand why. With multiple pathways throughout the city to walk/bike and places to explore, we have been having a great time just being outside.
.
Ottawa has hot summers, so we start our days early (not that you can really sleep in with 2 kids).

Bike Handlebar Pouches. I made these for my boys as a school year end gift. I was surprised by how much they liked it. They also put it on their scooters, which I didn’t think to do. I figured they can also use it as a pen pouch for school in the Fall.
.
I used heavy duty magnetic snaps, so it’s easy for them to take on and off.

Vegetable tanned leather pull tabs.

Vegetable tanned leather tabs. It’s the only kind that can be hand stamped.
.
Vegetable tanning uses organic material and natural tannins derived from the barks, leaves and branches of trees and plants.
.
It’s a slow process that takes at least 2 months versus chemically dyed leathers that can take just 1 day. Vegetable tanned is the most beautiful, durable and sustainable. It’s the only kind I use for the bags and cases.

20% Off Samples and Seconds (mechanical keyboard sleeves). I spent part of yesterday wrapping up the first batch of the sale orders for shipping. There’s still a small quantity left. These only go on sale every so often. Why? (Please read below).
.
In photo: midnight blue sleeves for 65, 60 and 40% keyboards.
.
Samples and Seconds. What are they?
When I make a batch of each sleeve size, I usually make them in a group of 10. Once in a while, there are ones that have minor imperfections (a slightly different thread colour used, a tiny fabric slub, wrinkles, and the like). I put these aside and put them on sale only every few months or when there’s enough of them to hold a sale.

There’s a limited quantity of mechanical keyboard sleeves on sale. These are slightly imperfect. I would say 9/10. It may be a slight variation in thread colour, A bit of wrinkle, a tiny fabric slub or something like that.
.
I don’t usually run sales since I make small production and custom work. This is a good time to get one of you think you’ll need to take your keyboard around in the near future.
.
Thanks and have a nice weekend.

Nintendo DS Case. I made this for my son a couple of years ago for his school year end present. #mccustomcases
.
Both have been on online school for over a year now and are just waiting for summer vacation to start. They learned how to bike last year and just love it. I thought for their end of school gift, I would make them some bike handle bar pouches. I’ll show you when they’re done.

65% sleeve for Polycarbonate Gen 1 Canoe. I really like the custom colours Austin (Berkeley, MI) chose. The burst of yellow is such a nice contrast. When completed, it reminded me of these berries I saw on a tree when the weather got warmer.#mccustomcases

It’s getting very busy here. Some customers are telling us they are preparing to go back to work (in the office part of the time). They will be bringing their mech keyboard with them.
.
I’m working on batches of the sleeves. Here are parts of the 65% (standard) keyboard sleeves in charcoal grey.
.
Please note that it takes 1 week for items to be made (2 weeks for custom). Thanks!

Before Covid, many of my customers were travellers. Well, you know how that went for the last year or so... I am starting to work on bags again, so it looks like things are starting back up slowly. #mccustombags

This one is a custom Carrier Tote for a repeat customer in Canberra, Australia.
