💭 Felt affection in my dreams last night. Slept longer than I should have as a result.

📺 I shouldn't, but I need a break that isn't sleeping: watching Slow Horses S2E1
Custom version of one of my best sellers. I see a lot of zippers in my future. Shipping this one out today.
😀 Planning to take "off" the last week of the year...looking forward to it!
From today to Saturday I will be completing 4,214 stitches (by hand) on a massive leather project.
Also, today is day 40 of no alcohol (none!), and man do I feel good!
Joining the 4am club for a few weeks.
One of eight total leather bins (18”x12”x12”). Will deliver all of them to my customer in Maryland next week 😊
May be “leaving money on the table” but I just ended my holiday leather sale early, turned off all ads, any orders received today or after today cannot be gauranteed for Christmas. What a run! Now: catch up on the backlog of orders. Then, around Dec. 20: rest.
Third time is a charm…I hope.
😞 Holidays feel much different with the divorce being finalized, feeling rather blue today. That aside, I am thankful for the rainy morning, my routine of hot French press coffee, and another day!
🌇 This morning I am happy to report that I was up early enough to watch the city around me transform from dark as night to light as day.
Next up: black leather dye.
~3.5 leather sides cut into smaller sections, then cut into final parts.
Starting my largest project to date. These hides will be transformed into 8 very stylish and very functional black storage bins.
Appreciate being able to do this with sites, especially those that abuse ads and popups.
I am currently working to make several positive changes/improvements in my life, one of them is being thankful for each and every season we have, especially the cold winter months approaching. I want to appreciate the uniqueness each season has to offer.
💨 Since we've started having consistent days in the 30's, I open a window every morning and crack the door to my studio apartment - doing so drops the temperature a few degrees quickly but also gives my space a blast of fresh air as the night air is pushed out the door.
🎄 Christmas orders have me in "the zone" from 8am to midnight most days lately, with breaks for coffee and food. Quitting early today. Need rest before starting again tomorrow morning :-)
Handcrafted.
☕ I do love the morning coffee ritual.
Personalized.
Dead simple but entirely intentional: space for phone, space for notebook (can fit up to 6.5” tall), and fits a fountain pen without any gimmicks.
💻 Admin type work first: emails, print shipping labels, reply to marketplace messages, etc. Once those important items are completed the real work can begin!
In ear headphones have started to bother my ears, more so than usual lately, so upgraded to these…much more comfortable and WAY better at noise cancellation, transparency mode, etc.
