jprieto Report post Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) We all here want to be good, very good, at leather craft. Sometimes, to me and perhaps a few others, it get a little fustrating. But I learned that those discouraging periods are considered the DOWN times, and there is a video that I watched that helped my stick to keep at it, and get UP again I hope you will enjoy this video, and find it an inspiration too. And perhaps one day you will reach your goals, he did! Enjoy (comments very apreciated, good or bad) A Must Watch Video Edited June 3, 2012 by jprieto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoubleC Report post Posted June 3, 2012 I don't understand the must watch about that and I'm not being mean. It appears he was a thalidomide baby and it's unfortunate but all people have misfortunes. I think you're being a little insensitive to try and compare a learning curve on leather work to what he had to overcome. I'm sorry, I'm trying but I just don't get it?

TwinOaks Report post Posted June 3, 2012 A "thalidomide baby" is a term for a child that is born with severe defects, often missing arms or legs, due to the mother's use of Thalidomide during pregnancy. (Google is my friend;)) Yes, Nick is a good inspirational speaker. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
