Extremely unusual Sunday morning for me.
Extremely unusual Sunday morning for me.
Obsessed.
Blue is definitely a popular color 💙
Been dragging my feet on this and I’m not sure why, waiting for the “right time” (thanks for the nudge @miraz) 😊 Anyways, my website where you can commission leather projects is https://amaiken.com. Use micro.blog for 25% off (applies to most items).
Working on a variation for one of my existing leather designs…excited 🙂
Another device sleeve, this one for the client’s iPod Touch 7th generation. Love the simple contrast between the natural balm finish and black thread.
Have been a member of the 5am club so far this week…a goal I’ve been working towards for over a year…this used to be my regular, back when I was more mentally fit. Feels great to be back at it!
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 😊
