  1. So happy to be working on projects again and learning new things!

  2. You do absolutely, amazingly beautiful work!
  3. I HAVE LEATHER!!! Enough for several projects if I do it right. (This was the only place with people who would understand why I'm so happy)

      Woohoo - What did you get and where did you get it?

      Talked someone into buying some crappy thing from the Outlet site. Either way, I asked for something that came with an 8x10 piece of leather and they bought me 3. :D So 24inx30in of nice plain veg tan to play with. I've got one sheet planned already with small projects that should keep me busy (since most of my time will go to school anyway) and then... tons of possibilities for the other two sheets.

  4. Leather working withdrawal. Anyone know any home remedies until I can get my next fix in?? It's driving me crazy!

      LN, yea, I was looking at those, though also at the Set & Forgets. Was also browsing through the pendulums, but I'll save that for some other time. :)

  5. Apparently, I am incapable of doing the double loop stitch. Can't seem to get it right.

      What are you having trouble with? If you have instruction just make sure to look at the photos real close and do exactly like the photo shows.

      Been looking at the pictures in The Leather Craft Handbook as well as watching the Tandy video on YouTube. I'd swear I'm following directions, but I'm obviously missing SOMETHING as all I get is a big knot or something.

      Go to KINGSMERE CRAFTS and scroll down to page 36 for the Single-loop Stitch, page 96 for double or page 97 for Triple-loop lacing. Lot of other things to learn there as well…. Just relax and take your time, - I know you can do it. Then just practice, practice, practice. It is awkward at first, but once you get it you will feel much better about your accomplishments.

  6. Wow. Well, I think it came out beautiful! Way to go!
  7. Nice projects! LOVE the belt. It's such a beautiful color, too. What did you use on it?
  8. I have successfully made.... a backwards/upside down wallet!! Works just fine if you open it backwards, but if you open it the way you're supposed to you might lose your money. :/

      Perhaps you can find a left-handed customer?

      It's recipient is a righty, but they said they don't mind. I think I might still fix it before hand, though.

  9. Most are on here, but I wanted to consolidate them as well. They're all part of the same creation time era. http://learningleather.blogspot.com

  10. Very first Tandy trip today!! Excited!!

  11. I don't think I could ever wear one of your belts. They are all gorgeous.
  12. Proud of myself today. I actually did something right!
