I used to do a lot of leather work but killed 7 sewing machines and the repetativetendonitis in my wrists and hands makes that artform a thing of the past. It's very hard and takes a lot of pressure to cut leather and peirce eyelets or snaps onto leather. One I can still manage is crafting dreamcatchers. I can still do large roomsize ones, In a way thats therapy because they say the bad dreams are caught in the webs to haunt you no more, so I choose beads and charms carefully and attach a bad dream or memory to each one I sew in the webs. I sold most of mine when we bought the farm and have been out of the craft for quite some time. But now I have time I may set up a craft table an get back into that one.
