Moderator Art Posted March 13, 2012 Moderator Report Posted March 13, 2012 Linda, Welcome aboard. We have a knowledgeable crowd in most of the things you mentioned, and they're mostly open to questions. Leatherworking requires very sharp tools, and little ones and tools don't mix well. Congratulations when the time comes and again welcome to Leatherworker.net (we abbreviate that to LW or LWN). Art Linda, from Manitoba Canada...

Members Kobau Posted March 13, 2012 Members Report Posted March 13, 2012 Thank you for the welcome! Thankfully the Boys can't get into my work room... We made sure that it is where they can't get into, and they are learning fast that mom's stuff is just like dad's... meaning it is not to be touched! Linda, Welcome aboard.

Members Leather Girl Posted April 12, 2012 Members Report Posted April 12, 2012 Just getting around to this so, I live in Calgary Alberta. I used to show and train horses, dogs and show cats. I had two horses that I had taught to kiss and miss them dearly. Now it is just me and my two cats, Princess and Thor, he weighs 24 pounds. I constantly tell him I will make him a leather biker jacket and he gives me the ugly eyes for it. I will not tell you how old I am but I used to watch Roy Rogers because I loved the dog and the horses on it. I have worked in leather since I was eight years old. I primarily do fetish wear and equipment, medieval, archery, holsters, books, scabbards, sheaths and clothing and now with my new cobra 4 (Thanks Steve and Dave) I can expand much more. I used to work in the entertainment industry and have been in a few movies, oh so long ago. I had worked for the Flames, Calgary Stampede and lastly City of Calgary, I am thrilled to have divorced them and went full time in my own business which is a Pagan store in my home and all my leather. I may not make the same steady money I did with the city but way happier to work for me. Randi-Lee Quote To some, I'm a dream. To others, a nightmare.
