Need to go through these at some point.

😮💨 Funeral was today for Lindsay's grandmother. I have a lot of memories with her from my time with the family since 2004, she was awesome and will be missed. Service was absolutely beautiful. Lost and found my wallet before and after the service. Need to retreat back to the beach.
A wider shot showing where the Series and bag number will be affixed on each Strathmere bag.
Series I - #00. Each Strathmere bag will be numbered, limited annual runs. Each year a new Series.
💆♂️ Massage complete, everything back where it should be. We are going to try moving to every 3 weeks as I have been making good progress with my own care between sessions.
Landing page in progress. Hoping to finish it soon.
Getting things together.
Another thought I’ve had lately is to do limited runs of various products, or at least only make a certain quantity per year. Once reached, sales stop (with pre-orders for the following year then becoming available).
I’m always inclined, but rarely do it, to make a nice and simple landing page for some of my products. A page that is devoid of the e-commerce portion of things and focuses entirely on the product. Any reasons to not do such a thing?
🎥 Working on a video for The Strathmere leather weekend bag.
😶 Just wrote for 3 hours. Getting back to reality is tough so far, even though the time away was so short. Lots of work to do. Lots of things to improve. Rest of the day is going to fly. Need to eat then dive in.
Still quite blown away by this bag.
I’m not sure what to write - this is so personal
Packed and ready to go!
Finished the weekend bag, calling it “The Strathmere”. Turned out amazing, if I may say so. Photos to follow later. Need to pack it for the weekend trip now and get on the road!
So far so good.
Customer work for the day is done. Dinner consumed. Kitchen cleaned up. Just one more thing to do and then I can finally begin what I’m now calling the “Weekend Bag” (instead of a “duffle bag”, since it is not). Long day, running tired at the moment but will see what I can get done before crashing!
⌨️ Looking forward to writing/blogging later today or tomorrow, brain is still a bit foggy from the week and writing will help to sort things out.
🗺️ Rest of the day mapped out, should be able to get everything in...fingers crossed. Will be a late one!
🥪 Food consumed. What's next?
🥚 I'll eat eventually this morning.
May finally have time today to work on this weekend bag.
🥴 Very disoriented by the week so far. Trying my best to keep my head above water. Lots of good, but plenty of not so good to keep the scales of life balanced slightly, or slightly imbalanced depending on your point of view. Sleep now and then will see what tomorrow brings.
Small batch leather dye, my own blend.
👨🎨 Evening leather dye session getting started. Step 1: make room to lay out everything for drying overnight and to make sure I have space to left to sleep :-)
