π§Ή Final move out from the apartment this morning.
π₯Ί Had to cut out from Mozzie and Lindsay before Mozzie went to bed tonight. Out of the norm. Have to work as much as possible tonight while also getting a good night of rest. Miss him.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - press release for The Strathmere Leather Weekend Bag :-)
Will be sending out an email with a few leather related items later today. There’s a form on this page you can use to get on the list!
π₯πͺΏ A fun thing Mozzie and I are working on together: FireBreathingStickers.com

Getting ready to ship ahead for an event.

A better shot of the finished hand-painted leather coaster with my client’s logo. I’m happy with how it turned out, and so are they! Actual painted logo will be on a custom cigar cases I’m making for them, this was just to get the hang of things.


Another beauty. Limited run of 4 cases using this leather.


Started working immediately after my morning walk earlier this morning. Another late work night last night, 2am, so slept in until 8:30. Outside on the deck now while I can enjoy some of the sun. Emails, whittling more matches, cigar. Back down to the shop later this evening.
First order made and shipped from the new shop.


We have power!

Getting my leather sewing machine put back together in the new shop. Still a major chaotic mess in here but things are coming along without issue so far.

Have lost all useful light for the finishing touches, but working on some hand-painted-very-custom leather coasters this evening.

ποΈ One thing Iβve been good at so far in the new place is a healthy bed time. With work so out of the way it is inconvenient to even try a late work night. Would rather get to bed earlier and wake up earlier.

π¬ Messages handled. Whittling matches outside in the sun now. Then handling emails.

π YOU GUYS. I have been sleep SO good since moving...so good that I'm wondering if I've slept at all in the past three years!

π Sitting on my deck in full sun, writing away! Previously I'd only have about an hour left of full sun before it passed over the apartment building. Now, out on the deck, full sun almost all day, casting tree shadows beginning around 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
