Why did you get into making honey?

The reason I got into honey was I allergic to it for over 35 years.  And for the last 4 years I am no longer allergic.  So I made it my mission to find the best honey so others can enjoy it. I work with 8 different bee keepers to bring honey with no chemicals. I have pure honey the bees made. I also have honey I have infused and also honey I have freeze dryed ingredients bring you a new outlook on honey. I have over 50 flavors of honey. 

How did you get into leather working?

I have been sewing since I was a little girl.  My mom and  grandma sewed. They got me started making barbie clothes and crafts. Then I got I into 4H making all sorts of things. I had tons of ribbons. When i was in 2nd grade my mom had me held me back a grade. When I was in my last year of high school my teachers and the principal gave me extra credit for the sewing I did for all of them so I could graduate the year I should have. Since I have done all kinds of sewing.  Tailor, detail specialist in a drapery factory,  lions uniform factory,  upholstery, & leather work. Harley Davidson approved to do their repairs & replace zippers.  The only thing I can not do is what I do not want to do. As for my favorite project.  I keep coming up with new ideas and that one is a favorite.
