Having picked up his scooter on 16th June - the boy rode it for two days and decided that it wasnt fast enough for the A12 - which is fair enough - I had warned him lol. So last Friday found us back at the shop part exchanging his 50cc for a 125 - its very nice and I only lost £600. So now he has a new bike - not bad at 17 - two brand new vehicles in one week.

I have progressed with the leather work - I have now made a belt (my dad Father's day present), a pot to put all my leather work stuff in and a round pot for the boy to put stuff in. Yesterday I bought a huge white skin to make a guitar strap with (my man is most happy that I am making this for him and it will match his guitar) - only thing is what will I do with the rest of the white leather - christening gifts come to mind as do items for those into minimalism. I also bought a whole load of new tools to use on the leather - cant wait to use them.

So today finds me making a guitar strap and delivering it to the owner on Sunday - can't wait - havent seen him since the middle of May on account of him being on tour and just generally busy.

I am also off to Poland in August with a friends band - three gigs a day for 8 days - hopefully the voice will hold out and all I need to do now is learn the guitar parts so I can help out with the playing as well. And I have been asked to speak at a women's conference in November in Kenya - that will be 25 talks in 8 days - not sure about that one - but we will see - I have a couple of weeks to make up my mind - so not to much pressure there.

Lets see what else - oh yeh the embarrassing dancing last Saturday - hmmm - my mates band really should only perform in pubs with seats otherwise they will have my dancing inflicted on them again and again and again lol.

So guess I had better get on with the guitar strap - think I might rename this blog - although for the most part I am still on the edge of reason - most of my friends think I have already tipped over and am now in a world of complete fantasy.

Oh and if anyone reading this wants to order a leather item feel free - I can cost it for you and at the moment I have black, tan and white leather - so a choice of colour - although if you fancy something a llittle more outrageous I can get red, purple, blue, dark brown, in fact almost colour you fancy - so onward and upward ......................
