3 Days of being snowed in

With the thought of being snowed in for 3 days, I started getting really fidgety. I went to my sewing machine and was wondering what I could get into. I saw a chunk of leather and played around with the idea of learning to hand stitch something. I went with the easiest thing I could think of, a checkbook cover. I grabbed a few pieces of leather, cut it out, dyed it my favorite tan color, used my TQ stamp, and learned the saddle stitch!! It turned out much better than it was in my mind. I don't think I will ever machine sew another checkbook cover again.
