Finally...SUCCESS with uploading !
I am searching for other interesting Fashion Blogs to provide links. I have added a couple today on the right hand column of this blog. I just love the diverse path of emerging designers and escaping the "rut" of being told what to do by the media & the celebrities. Like "sheep", made to feel that unless you follow , you are out of the pack.....alone....un-chic. I strongly disagree...I think it takes courage and confidence to "go your own way", make your own judgments, decide what YOU like and go with it! For me, there is nothing better than a unique fashion piece, whether it be a jacket, boots or an accessory! I love what's different and unique!

Time flies.
Has it really been that long since I was HERE? I guess I must have been having fun....no, really, I've been working......and worrying, probably too much!
I'm not complaining about the work. The worry....that's another story. I am a worrier, I am my own worst critic, I do make mountains out of molehills, and yes, I do think everything is worse than it usually is. I do have to exert myself sometimes relentlessly to see the positives beyond the dark forests of doubts that seem to grow like crazy weeds in my brain.
Where is the drawn line between "not giving up" and "it's not meant to be"? How do I know when destiny has something else in mind, or the universe is just testing how much I really want something? I tend to personalize all events and occurrences, which can be a heavy load at times when they are not what I expected, anticipated or wanted.
Struggling as an independent designer and single Mom, I wonder if I will ever get to a place where I can say "I've made it". I keep hoping and I keep working. I'm not giving up.

Flying out the door - Specials at Mano Bello
Wide Leather Cuff - Mano Bello
I had no idea this would go over so well....struggling as an independent Fashion Designer and trying to support 2 lives with only that....can be a challenge. Bringing more people to my site any way I can is something I spend hours pondering.....
Yesterday's 1st time ever special offering flew out the door in the first hour!
So, as long as I can and need to, I will feature daily sale items.....come and get to know me!

Coming up roses!
Sometimes while deep into the creative process of a certain line, the re making of various repeat items will sometimes evolve into a new idea, which becomes the next design.
Such happened here while carefully sculpting and stitching leather roses and flowers into various wrist cuffs, brooches and rings, it came to me that a few different cuts with my scissors could provide a whole different look to these blooms. Pleased with the results, a new line is born.
I love leather and I love flowers.

Using antique glass or rhinestone buttons, combined with leather that is hand sculpted to ruffle into "petals", these rose pins,cuffs and rings have become one of my best loved lines this fall. Seasonless for wear through Fall, Winter, Spring or Summer. Pin these brooches on your purse, scarf ,shawl, headband or blouse for an instant finishing touch to whatever you're wearing. Available at www.manobello.com .

Anthropology invite
I see the makings of a job position here. Growing from the ground up is a process which sometimes requires jumping over the edge without any time for thought. Things can change quickly with 1 order. Suddenly I'm no longer designing & creating, but, writing emails, proposals, answering requests for a brochure, responding to comments left by admirers, pricing new items, logging time & materials, and the list goes on.
My heart lies in the designing & creating.
