The process of creating something never gets old. The end result is also pretty darn incredible to get to.

🍷 Wine from Austria 🇦🇹 tonight. Looking forward to this one…and really liking the label!
In the process of making a simple leather gift to include in a mailing later this week or next week. Feel free to send me your mailing address if you’d like to receive snail mail 💌 with a handwritten address, friendly note, a nice small leather item :-) aaronaiken at me dot com
Experimenting.
Leather projects completed recently. Red phone sleeve, green wine tote, and black “bin”.
Have some snail mail 💌 going out for my leather business in early May (next week already!). If you’d like to receive something with a handwritten address and note send me your mailing address (int’l friendly for friends in places I’d like to travel): aaronaiken at me dot com
I was served “the papers” last night. I haven’t read them yet. I am first focusing on doing things that get into a positive mindset. Maybe I’ll read them later today. Maybe I won’t.
Friday evening
Wrapping up three leather projects later this evening. Need to make dinner first. Opening a bottle of wine, “dinner music” playing. And I still need to official announce my leather shop (website) here 🙈 Time is flying.
Severance 🤯
Finally finished reading: Atomic Habits: An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones by James Clear 📚
I wanted to get up early but not quite this early.
more and more lately I am feeling way too connected. Further refinements to iOS notifications and have started to only wear Apple Watch for sleep tracking.
Ready for delivery!
Tired but brain is too active to fall asleep.
More leather belts in-progress!
Finished these yesterday, wore them yesterday too! Extremely happy with how they turned out. 1,000 imperfections and mistakes but not bad for my first pair. Planning v1.1 already :-)
Loving this combo. Turned out well, client is happy 😊
Extremely excited about this project. Parts cut out, stamped, and dyed as of now. Will hopefully begin assembly this evening.
Another purse finished.
This morning: coffee, Bon Iver, leatherwork.
Caught up on sleep! The data matches with how I feel. Refreshed!
Tonight’s wine. Obscura Petite Sirah 2018.
Not shined, but better. Eyelets are a good improvement.
Idea to execution is too much fun! Turned out exactly how I imagined and functions as expected. Think I’ll call it the “Live edge leather cigar ashtray” 🙂 giving this one as a gift.
