Today's windfall was:
Linda O'Keefe's book, "Shoes" - mostly pretty pictures. I picked it up on Amazon for one penny plus shipping. Good inspiration.
Both of the kangaroo hides I purchased on Ebay (from two different vendors) arrived today from Australia. The "licorice" black one sort of looks like they tried to tie dye it - it was cheap, even with the international shipping, so I'm ok with that. The second one is even better than it looked in the photo - cobalt blue, and huge.
Finally, from the Czech Republic, a leather stamp with my sun/moon logo. Custom order off Etsy. Considering where it came from, very fast and very reasonably priced. Here's what a stamp of it looks like:
Tomorrow is a day off work for me, so I'll be starting on making patterns for my shoes. The oxford style one is still giving me trouble. Maybe now that I have *so much* leather, in so many different colors, I'll be able to do this thing.
Maybe not.
