G'Day, Like all countries , we're restricted to travel in certain areas . I'm in the Central Wheatbelt Western Australia, and we can't leave it , to go to the city for example , but "exceptions apply" , for eg.' essential services' . Our little country town is virtually a ghost town . Just need some tumble weed Eli Wallach, Lee Van Cleef and Clint Eastwood to complete the picture All markets have now stopped, and totally working from home , have no choice, and thank God for the locals, still repairing horse rugs and a few other bits and bobs , and doing various ' non- leather related jobs'( see pic) , as well as a few outstanding leather orders, (that I got before things really went pear shaped) . I did a 6 x 3m tarp alteration/repair , join 2 halves w/fell seam , 2" hem fit eyelets, its not leather I know, but a job is a job. My leather supplier can ship my leather out, but I can't pick & choose hides....cos they're 2+hrs away in the city, that sucks. But I know I can trust them . My thoughts are now turning to the bags...and bags of accumulated leather scraps . Tip the whole lot out on a giant tarp one arvo , see what can be used, and turned into something creative , after concentrating my mind , or sold as is...or just thrown out . I have plenty of time on my hands....now That was the one thing I couldn't make before ....time. I also have an old suit case that I intended restoring some years ago, might dust that off. Love to hear what others are doing or creating during these challenging times? Take care, HS
