The only thing to be careful of as you get older is ladders. Old men and ladders don't mix too well (ask any hospital!!).

Other than that, go for it, although things may take a little longer to do.

Yes and roofs, It does take longer and depending on what you are doing you may look like you need a blood transfusion with all the free-flowing blood Or someone beat you up with all the brushing.

It’s always nice to wake up in the morning and still be on the green side of the grass, on the other hand sometimes there’s things worse then death.

Yes there is and I feel for those.

Stewart,

I love the colors and the subjects that you use in your work, such fun and creative stuff!  Also, I will join the others in saying "Congratulations" to you and your new Love! I'm all for HAPPINESS, married or not. It's good to have a partner in this life! Best wishes to you as you happily go about your chores! LOL. Thanks for sharing your creativity with everyone here!

Thats very kind of you, its kind of hard to believe This Old Lutz Outlaw ( Sister hates me to say that) be part of those stories you here about Childhood friends getting together in the older years. Ran around with her brother when we were 10.

There is 3 stages of fun doing these, Creating my own scenes or changing  images a little by adding or taking away, tooling ,Then painting and need to stitching.

I hass been a little hepatic around here, I had to step up my housecleaning and yard work.  Yeap i am not single anymore, so i had up my game,

These i have been working on after my assigned chores are done. The small stuff is for belt buckles and the notebook cover has about worn me out.

the cloth interior and I had to put a plastic stiffener on the inside flaps that and the saddle stitch with the extra Criss cross thread is a trip. oh their is 2 notebook covers

[Special Pattern]

This is about enjoyable as tooling

[Glue smell]

[Glue smell]

I used Weldwood to glue cloth to the inside of a binder cover, One big mistake. Now I need to get rid of the smell.

Any suggestions? I already tried baking soda.
