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.
