Typically my crafting skills are purely for my own enjoyment or homemade gifts for friends and family. Recently I've put my skills to good use by starting a side business through Facebook https://www.facebook.com/newhavenfarm/ to help support my horse/tack hoarding habit. Using paracord, I make d-ring savers/d-ring extenders and grab straps. I had no idea they would be so popular! LOL! I've been able to almost completely support my two horses' on my profits, which my husband is very appreciative of.
I do like to broaden my horizons and try to seize opportunities to try new things.
Recently, I saw an obscenely ugly Australian saddle at a recent trip to the local horse auction. (Which Leah was nice enough to drag me to) Managed to buy said saddle quite cheap ($50) to attempt to refurbish.
First step, buy missing parts. Saddle was missing one fender and both irons. Found both on ebay for less than $25 on ebay
Second step, dye leather to an acceptable color
