πΆβπ«οΈ Feeling overwhelmed by all the ideas, the things, what I want to do, what needs to be done. Frozen, foggy, befuddled. Eating ice cream now, then...unsure.

Prototype 1c - suede cigar case. A success! Iβll use this one as my case. The final version for my client will be a lovely gray suede with black accents and his company logo hand painted and stitched into the top.

35 total panels marked and cut and ready to be dyed. Will be transformed into 7 12x12x12 leather bins over the course of the next few days.

So far pretty happy with this.

Bought a pair of scissors a while ago to use for this suede and now canβt find themβ¦not many places for them to hideβ¦
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.

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 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.
