Prognathodon,

I LOVE leather work. I love leather and all things made from natural materials, like wood work, leather, stone ...

For a while I tried myself at leather stamping and I made a pretty nice wallet. But I would need a lot more tools and a lot more space to start bigger projects, so this is as far as I got. I have seem some GORGEOUS tack sets for horses, bridles and breast collars, that people make at home. They sell for around $300 to $500. I would really love to make one of those, but I'm not good enough at it.

Yay, another book fan !! We really should start a book club, there are certainly enough people that love to read !! Did you join Bookbub? They send links to free/cheap ebooks daily. I've gotten pretty nice books for free. Others are not so great. But since I devour books, I read everything I can

I have to say, you are a strong person and you must have a lot of love for your husband, to live the lifestyle you do. I have to admit, I couldn't do it And I'm sure it wasn't easy to adjust to. I'm glad for you that you found peace with it.
