Well, he's thinking. It's a hobby for him, but he enjoys it a lot.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-66897065654118842442008-12-31T21:26:00.000-06:002008-12-31T21:26:00.000-06:00Please tell D I think the boot straps are 'chevere...Please tell D I think the boot straps are 'chevere'!9Thats Venezuelan slang for awesome!Rita Locahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09961929692808138092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-78298425695267774452008-12-31T12:50:00.000-06:002008-12-31T12:50:00.000-06:00Love 'em.

Her new kitchen is quite 1980s sharp, with shiny black granite counters and a lipstick-red enamel sink. <BR/><BR/>My father collects cowboy boots. I think his patients make fun of him. My favorite pair is made from stingrays. Stingrays are covered in eyes, and the resulting leather is bluish-gray and polka-dotted. Very sharp. <BR/><BR/>I think D should hunt down a Bezazzler on eBay. I am sure the other cowboys would find him very sharp, indeed.<BR/><BR/>AllisonA.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00293780005404059775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-43316200648661022632008-12-31T01:18:00.000-06:002008-12-31T01:18:00.000-06:00I think the bootstraps and the matching bracelet a...I think the bootstraps and the matching bracelet are tight!

I am sure that someone who love leather boot straps would find these ones the epitome of artisanship. The leather work looks to be very well done. I think D needs to open an account on the Etsy shop. <BR/><BR/>You can teach all the kids the ins and outs of running a business. You can even teach them to use punches, knives, skiving tools. I am sure that this would qualify for <A HREF="http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/gever_tulley_on_5_dangerous_things_for_kids.html" REL="nofollow">dangerous things you should let your children do</A>. You could study <A HREF="http://www.all-about-leather.co.uk/history.htm" REL="nofollow">the history of leather</A>. Measuring, calculating how much leather you need to make x number of bootstraps, calculating cost of supplies and profit would certainly qualify for math. English... you could have the kids write a description of each item for the etsy site. <BR/><BR/>What a great idea for a family project! I'm glad not D thought of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-44149304638305897082008-12-30T19:20:00.000-06:002008-12-30T19:20:00.000-06:00Wow, who would have EVER thought I'd receive a com...Wow, who would have EVER thought I'd receive a comment from a NOT D person while D was typing...?Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-57879279560595304822008-12-30T19:17:00.000-06:002008-12-30T19:17:00.000-06:00I have seen a lot of great leatherwork in my day ....I have seen a lot of great leatherwork in my day ... and I would have to say that I would be willing to spend my hard earned money on these bootstraps.
