I finally got the yellow snoopy strap sewn back together. Probably would have made more sense to cut a new strap, but I really like the old leather. Glued in some reinforcement with barge cement. I did one of the sides months ago. Took a while to get around to the buckle side.

I also still need to clean the movement. Somewhere I have one of these snoopy watches with a black dial and a new home made strap. I seem to have misplaced it as I had it somewhere where I was going to show it off at the maker faire back in October. Amazing how quick the time files, we are already mostly through the Dickens fair.

Great work! I find hand stitching quite relaxing.

A few months ago I picked up a 19th century stitching horse.

Needed a bit of work but now it works as intended, and looks just right next to some Singer machines from the same time period.

Steve, I thought the boot on the farthest left was being used by you as a pen holder until I took a closer look.

Jim. Cowboy boots (not the nice ones from Alberta or from @TexOmega ) that the owner wanted shortened. In his 80s and this is what he wanted. What you see are clamps that were holding a glued piece of leather. The boots were done on one of the old Singer 29s pictured.

I never thought shortening cowboy boots was even possible Steve, great job! And the boot leather looks so revitalized.
