Hardware!

Hardware!

Pocket lined with flannel and zipper installed. Then stitched closed.


From one year ago today. Project in focus in was hand carving a picture frame from walnut wood. I am still unable to adequately describe how much I miss this part of my life, of my being.

Took a power nap today. First in a long time. I do try to listen to my body when it says “I’m exhausted.”
Leather roses being delivered to a happy client later today.

Wine tote I finished making last week.

There’s something special about a rainy Saturday.
My late night.

On tap for today:
🤞🏻
Time for that afternoon cup ☕️
Reading material that has arrived recently. Although, I find myself studying the ads and article photos more than the words. The way things look has been my method of being inspired, having ideas, and so on.

Giving Hello Fresh a try. First four meals arrive tomorrow.
Got to bed before midnight last night. Highly recommended.
Looking for a specific color…

Samples!

Finished another wallet 👍🏻 will be delivered tomorrow.


Flurries ❄️
Sometimes I really regret looking back at journal entires.
Giving up on looking for gift boxes from a reliable [looking] source for leather roses. Odd size I guess. Any ideas please let me know! Manhattan and starting The Wire season 3.
Finishing up a prototype this morning while Home Alone is on in the background.
Manhattan and figuring out what to watch for an hour or so. Not quite sure how to process the emotions of the day…think I’m becoming numb to them in general. Not that I’ll figure anything out, but I’ll have time to think on these things tomorrow.
Some nights, like tonight, I really miss my dog. I should have said good-bye to her before leaving the house this evening. I’ll see her again in a few days. Strange, how strong the connection between dog and human can be to invoke emotion…
Curated birthday gifts for my dad’s birthday party after the turkey today. Blizzard of Hops IPA, three hand-selected Field Notes, and 4 hand-crafted stamped leather coasters.

Giving in. Up at 4:30 used to be my norm. Time for coffee ☕️
Sleep is tricky to catch tonight. Always the case when I get to bed at a responsible time (i.e. before midnight).
