Where/how I begin most days.

Where/how I begin most days.

I have been haunted by good memories the past week and I don’t know how to make it stop.
Made one for myself.


“Singin’ don’t worry about a thing ‘Cause every little thing gonna be alright…” 🎶
Bananas happy with how this bag turned out!





Another preview.

Preview.

Each morning for the past few weeks I have been taking my coffee and iPad out to a balcony that gets full sun all morning. The hit of vitamin D is phenomenal. I sit here for an hour writing, drinking hot French press coffee, and sweating 😅
I’ve been working on a website to eventually sell made-to-order leather products. The hardest part of the process is pricing. Pricing based on what I think it should be (within a range that I would pay if buying) compared to what it probably/actually should be.
Next up, this project has been ready for assembly for a while. Excited about this one!

Finished!




Still need to get the strap on but this is the general idea.


More importantly, coffee is ready!
Experimenting. The “final” pair will be pink and will have a strap across the top. Making them as a token gift for my niece who arrived in the world on July 5th.

Finished my first leather bag yesterday. It was a gift, probably going to make one for myself 😀


Went to the pool today.

Starting the next project.

Tuesday 🍷.

Still roasting.

Making Father’s Day gifts. Each will include two Field Notes notebooks.

Something I want to get better at is planning things for Mozzie and I to do together on the weekends, but also allowing room to do whatever it is he wants to do.
Late night work, wine, Mad Men. Happy Thursday evening!
Roasted coffee for the first time in a long time today. The smell took me back to my workshop, actually. I miss that part of my life very much.
Have built a lot of furniture in the past few days. This couch was the most involved but no issues. Will also be where Mozzie sleeps when he is over.


Survived another day. Glass of wine called for.
