Rivets

I finally finished a bag I've been working on for almost two months.  I had someone ask me if I made any bags with leather straps.  I had been thinking about it and went right to work.  I found a place that sells the straps I was looking for and ordered them.  The company wasn't very impressive and it took them 10 days to ship and then a couple of weeks before it finally reached my front door.  In the mean time I went looking for rivets to fasten on my straps.  I found some with a kit and brought them home.  I made the bag and prepared the straps.  When I got out the tools I knew something wasn't quite correct, but I just plunged ahead.  I hammered away and smashed those poor rivets to death.  After smashing three rivets I realized I needed to go and get the correct tools...shocking.  I ordered them and they came today.  

Here it finally is.  It's one of my favorites. 

 It's for sale in my Etsy shop.  

It was awfully tempting to keep it.

I like it.  I think I'll be making another.
