Today I took my car to the shop for new brake light bulbs, and got to talking to an older gentleman who was sitting outside. He calls himself the Duke of Pearl: he sources and sells mother-of-pearl and abalone inlay material for banjos and other instruments! He used to build banjos, too, and plays bluegrass with a band. I grew up listening to bluegrass, which my older brother and a couple of my sisters also played. Neat!

Today I spent hours working on designing a logo with Vistaprint’s new logo-maker service. I also made this little mug mat with the leftover scrap from making one of the pouches yesterday. EnJoy!
