Day in the life, 1:53pm Harrisburg Pennsylvania USA, at my workbench getting leather orders out.

A bit of whittling for cigar matches to go into a nice leather pouch. Oh how I have missed making shavings!

All things are connected.
And there is really no such thing as a “new” day, since today brings with it the consequences, good and bad, from the decisions made yesterday. “Today” is simply a continuation of all time before it.
Looks like tomorrow (today) is Ultra delivery day ⌚️ exciting!
Painting leather today 🎨

Step 1: make a silly hair-on bracelet.

Materials for a few ideas I need to get out of my head.



Doesn’t hurt to try. Making my own stamped business cards. (I blame/credit @annahavron for this particular rabbit hole 😊).

Black on black on black.



Been enjoying the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Also enjoying the black leather case for it, obviously :-)

iPhone delivery later today. Made two new Autumn themed leather cases for it. I’m calling the black case “Jack-o’-lantern” and the brown “Candy Corn”. Both feature two thread colors each, which is a fun little detail.

I’ve become a bit obsessed with edge work lately.


Leather for belts! Who wants one? 😊

A few other in-progress leather projects: two phone sleeves (one black the other brown) and a dog collar.

Quite the day today, lots in motion and making good progress!

A custom take on my forthcoming Field Notes sized leather cases…this one is a bit taller to hold the client’s calendar, plus a custom spot for a photo. Happy with how it turned out 🙂



Both colors have been popular for leather projects as of late.

Up at 3:45 this morning. Tortured a bit by my dreams.
Leather gift tag, which will be used again at Christmas :-)

Very productive day today. Finished these three leather projects. Thrilled with how they turned out!

Phew…the mid-afternoon crash has been very real the last few days. Body and mind feel absolutely spent once 3pm is near.
This macbook air (m2) is…amazing…
Lucy is joining me overnight in the apartment. First time she’s seen where I live now.
