Hand Stitched Leather Bag

My husband seriously blows me away.  He surprised me for Christmas with this leather purse that he MADE...

I think that's worth repeating--

He made it.  Cut and shaped a wood mold/form, molded the leather, cut the pieces, dyed it and hand stitched it all together....

See the cool little flying "V"---yeah he made that too...

 Carved a stamp out of some hard maple....

We both are interested in working with leather so we had been looking through a book I have that gives you step by step directions for projects. I saw a similar style bag and loved it.  So he decided to make me one....how lucky am I!?!?!??!

This is probably one of the most amazing gifts I have ever been given.  His talent amazes me...

and I love that it's something he made me.

If we could do more of this we would.

I have more ideas....

other things I'd like to make...

Stay tuned.
