I’ve had a lot of burnishing to do this week (which means a lot of standing around spacing out while rubbing those leather edges) and I’ve taken interest in some of my “mess,” which I usually am not super inspired to capture on camera (ha).<\/p>\n

But I always find a lot of interest in other people’s messes – the particular objects they use and collect, their works in progress, their various interests, the plants they tend – there are many stories to be told.<\/p>\n

So, a few short stories, told by some of my mess.<\/p>\n

\"woodworking_bench\"<\/a>A busy benchtop with an open sandpaper drawer: for prepping those leather edges and sanding a walnut spoon. A pile of bag flaps for a batch of satchels that are making their way through my production rotation. A collection of rifflers awaiting a tool roll I’ll make for Steven. A cardigan and a pair of elbow patches to be sewn. A leaning pile of leather sides that haven’t been put away. A tiny saw with mitre box that Steven refurbished for me (I’m excited to practice some dovetailing)…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"poetry\"<\/a>A stack of Dad’s poetry books which need a home, but I just love having them out and sort of in the way. Blocks of hardwood, future utensils. An extension cord, still out from a couple weeks ago when I set up my old high school sewing machine to sew button holes with.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"fabric_rolls\"<\/a>And, not so much a mess, but a view from the floor not often seen. My main bench, and the hub of my studio.<\/p>\n

I love this studio space of mine, where I can create, explore and make a mess.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m hoping to be back this weekend with a “making my week” post, but in case I don’t make it have an amazing holiday weekend!<\/p>\n
