Raw material.
Raw material.
β Alright. Supply run done, restocked. Errands complete. Lunch consumed. Time to dig into this leather project: first up is a custom order I've been working on for a while, iterating a lot with a very patient client. Then chipping away at an order for 7 leather bins. The West Wing S4E11 in the background.
π§ todays mood.
β Can tell already, today is going to be a heavy coffee day.
ποΈ Going with the flow this morning. Ran out of material that I thought I had on hand, and so will be running out to stock up again. And while out might as well combine with other errands. Looking forward to getting to my workbench this afternoon!
Have really been enjoying this pen and notebook caseβ¦eager to make more in this particular space.
π₯ Eh, The Godfather Pt. II instead, just for a little.
π When I write down that I need to "work" on a thing, a client project in particular, sometimes that just means sit down and simply think through how I am going to approach it. Arguably the most important part of the project: sitting and thinking about it.
Laying stuff out for tomorrow, planning, making notes. Will be working with suede.
π¬ Started watching Argyle, 40 minutes into it. Enjoying it and liking the story so far. More work now though, then a short ride, then back to work for a bit...and then maybe will watch some more.
Whittling matches today.

…so much of life is complicated and requires so many moving parts…a simple game like checkers (and then eventually moving into chess) was a nice break from the standard chaos of life.
My spot this morning.
π sat down to do some work and immediately forgot what I wanted to work on...taking that as a sign. Time to call it a day!

When work from home kicked in full-time in 2020 I struggled to adjust, only recently realizing this. Staying home meant being trapped, or feeling trapped, & I require movement. 2020 & 2021 meant having to stay in one place. Being able to do what I need to do from anywhere is important to me & I lost that & then forgot about it. Forgot how important it is to my psyche.
A few things Iβve wanted lately
I have a lot to share, a lot to write about.

If a thing is to persist in a not started state, then that is how it will be. There is a time for everything.
π¬ β¦gonna be making more coffee.
Some more photos of the cigar case I finished yesterday. This one was a custom request, and a design I can see being popular with others as-well. The larger accessory pockets allow for the larger lighters and cutters that my original design is not intended for. Plus a pocket for smaller notebooks!
