One time I had her to the point of almost being interested in leather work talked her into going to Tandy leather with me we signed up for a carving class it took months to get her just to go to Tandy with me on the way home the store manager called and said the store policy was they would not take husband and wives in a class would not say why just store policy I said ok you just lost 2 customers long story short she is no longer interested in leather work.
