I love leather and its smell!!!
Of course I also love the smell of a diesel engine on a drizzly rainy day....weird, I know.
One of these days, I'm going to make something with leather. I've had half a hide of a denim blue for quite some time, just haven't made that purse yet.
The most I've done with leather is purchase suede to re-insole my shoes. My feet are "anti- vinyl". I'm always so pleased with myself when my feet feel that new suede lining. :meditation:
