  1. I think I'm caught up again. Let me know if you want access to the adult area. Johanna
  2. Funny how we go from being the kids trying not to get busted by Mom & Dad to being Mom & Dad trying not to get busted by the kids ...

      Uh-oh, what are you two kids up to?

      Kind of gives you a new perspective on your own folks doesn't it?

      never saw it that way :-s

  3. Caught up through 7pm eastern 9-14. If you don't see the NSFW section by the Marketplace, try logging out, then in again. Fair warning, jokes are really baaaad. Johanna
  4. Bless you for caring enough to want to help. Too many people fall through the cracks because people look the other way. I hope you are able to find him some assistance so he can heal. ~J
  5. What is the difference between Bird flu and Swine flu? You use tweetment for one and oinkment for the other!

  6. Inspirational. Excellent job designing and executing pattern. Very pleasing to the eye without seeming cluttered. This book will only look better as it is used and ages.
  7. Beautiful. Love the natural coloring because it brings out the detail so well. The swirls are elegant. Thank you for sharing!
  8. C'mon, folks! It's a holiday weekend in the US and not everyone is at their keyboard. I'm not, and I'm closing this thread. Jaime, please post your question again, and we'll take a deep breath and start over. Johanna Admin
  9. Closing this topic because the video is no longer available. Johanna
  10. I've just been through all the PMs, and everyone that asked should see the NSFW area of the forum. If anyone else wants in, just let me know. ~J
  11. If I promise not to learn any secret carving techniques (I can't carve at all), can I be a fly on the wall? Nevada in the winter sounds like a good plan, especially mixed with leather! Johanna
  12. Just like to remind everyone that if you use clear topic titles, your thread will get more attention and answers. "Help me!" doesn't jog anyone's memory.

  13. I think I'm all caught up again. If I got your message, you should see the NSFW area by the Marketplace on the main index page. If you don't, try logging out, then back in again. Let me know if I missed anyone or there are new requests- and you can do it privately or in this thread, ewhatever is more comfortable for you. No one will know you are a member of the adult section unless you post. Promise. Johanna
  14. Just to clear up any confusion- David Cole was"DCKNIVES" here on the forum. He was one of our earliest members, and he introduced me to many fine knife and sheath makers from the knife sites he prticipated on. He was generous with his expertise and kind with his words, and I'm going to miss him. Johanna
  15. Yep, what Cheryl from LNLeather said. The strap is just a nice touch. FYI- those braided straps don't pull hair like plain smooth ones do, so we long haired girls like them. Rounded braids are the very best. but hard to find, impossible on a mass produced purse. I'm glad my old man showed me how to do it myself. ~J
  16. I am very sad to hear that news. Prayers for his family and friends. He will be missed by many. Please let us know when arrangements are made so his friends can express their sorrow to his loved ones. Johanna
  17. To whet your appetite, check out pictures of some of the shows and museums here. The King Museum is a must- you could spend days in there and not see everything. Be sure to stop at Sheridan Leather Outfitters (On Coffeen Ave near the south exit from the highway) too. The owner's dad is Bob Douglas, and he has all sorts of interesting tools for sale. Better bring money.Their leather is nice, too.The Mill Inn may be historic and interesting, but I noticed it needed a lot of work that wasn't being done during my visit this spring. There are other convenient places to stay in town, and if you like the night life, the Best Western is within walking distance. We really missed Bobby when he never came up the hill! Have fun on your trip, and do not be fooled- Wall is not the Disneyworld of Wyoming the signs promise it to be. Take pics and let us know how things go! Johanna
  18. Saw this today: Thanks, Tandy! http://craftsatthemarketplace.com/lgames.html
  19. The value of the AS Home Study Corse wasn't so much in the lessons and patterns, it was in the personal feedback you received from Al, and later, Harry, as you completed your projects and sent them in. All of the info in the lessons is available in the other AS books. Johanna
  20. RIP Suze! We're going to miss you. Love, your Cuz.

  22. Thank you Roo- think this one should be pinned?
  23. The advantage of adding friends is that when you are sending PMs, you can just click on the name. By default, most people automatically accept new friends, but there is an option to approve the names listed in your profile under friends in your control panel. You can also choose to get email notifications if you are added, or if someone wants to add you as a friend. The choice is always up to both members, and a "no" from either one will discontinue the "friends" feature. Having said that, the "friends" feature is not like Face Book, and you will always be able to see posts by members, unless you click "ignore", but that's another topic in itself. HTH Johanna
  24. Scroll up and call "Ronnie" from Techsew (Raphael in Canada). I have an old Singer that sews 750 stitches per minute. I could quickly sew my arm to saddle skirting. With a Servo Motor (available on all the new machines) you can sew at any speed you want. Having a Servo Motor takes the "intimidation factor" out of sewing leather. Johanna
  25. Real latigo can be "tooled", but it's not ideal for accepting impressions. "Latigo" means drum dyed and stuffed with oils and wax. If you put a bit of water on the leather, does it bead up or does it soak in? Latigo is water resistant (which makes it a good choice for dog collars and cue cases) and vegetable tanned leather (what you use to carve or stamp) is absorbent. HTH Johanna
