adtuck Report post Posted August 13, 2014 It started when I couldn't find a quality case for my tablet computer. When I looked on Etsy and saw some the prices of good leather cases, I thought, "Hey, I can make one of those and have fun doing it." Within the last month, I've bought enough leather and tools that I could have purchased 5 cases off Etsy - and of course I'm still not satisfied with my product. Well, now the creative juices refuse to take a rest and I think about leather design solutions at all hours of the day and night. My wife is upset that I've taken over so much space in the kitchen nook area. I'm hoping I can get some pointers and at least scratch the surface of the quality I've seen in the gallery. I didn't know there was such quality artistry in leather out there. I am eager to grow and learn. Aaron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rlpullman Report post Posted August 14, 2014 If your wife is upset about taking up so much space in the kitchen nook area, she will really be upset when you take off and grow out of that space. I took over me wife's spare bedroom in the basement. And still need more room. Welcome to the madness called Leather craft. Hope you get that laptop case you were looking for.

LoriF Report post Posted August 14, 2014 Hi Camano, that's hilarious! I have a friend on Camano, if the weather hadn't affected me so badly I would still be there for sure Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adtuck Report post Posted August 15, 2014 Thank you for the warm welcome. Camano and Maine, what are the chances? Richard, I just got kicked out of the nook yesterday, so moved to the dining room. As soon as it cools down a bit, I will probably move to the garage or shed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shtoink Report post Posted August 15, 2014 Nice to see someone else from here, and an archer to boot! Unless you've been here, it's hard to truly grasp the diversity of the state. I've been quite a few places, but nothing is quite like being here in Washington. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
