The rest of my day is focused on making my client’s Strathmere leather weekend bag. Excited to get into it! Photos and such to follow. Brown leather with antique brass hardware.

⏳ Switching a bunch of things up. Time to go back to the way some things used to be done. Easy is most certainly not always best.

Grateful Log for Monday July 29, 2024

1. A good time having family over yesterday for lunch
2. Nice pool day yesterday as-well
3. A new week!

Uh. Wow. Just cancelled a bunch of monthly stuff that I don’t actually need…amazing how those get out of hand. Over $300/month now being saved instead. Insane.

Grateful Log for Sunday July 28, 2024

1. The fresh mindset this morning.
2. A sense of clarity I haven’t had for a while, a few years even.
3. Quick and simple projects.

A quick leather project I made yesterday today to give as a birthday gift to my brother. Have added it to my portfolio as-well.

🌱 Woke up with a fresh mindset, shaking off one that had settled in for years.
