Lovely work! 

What's a blood knot?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.....can we also discuss that little needle pack you have to the left side of the matt in one of the pics? I came back to look at this kickass belt and happened to catch that and now I'm a bit interested in whatcha got going on there.

The slotted concho braid that looks like tassels. I believe it's actually called a bleed knot but I can't force myself to call it that

Hahahaha it's definitely handy. A little scrap leather and no more finding needles in the carpet the hard way

I use one of those tomato/strawberry things....I may need to up my came a little and make one of those, it looks far handier than that tomato pin cushion. I may even embed a magnet in it too just for some extra retention.

Huh, I don't have any of that.  Was going to send you some white thread to finish it up, it was looking so good!  Sorry can't help you out with the Tandy stuff!
