Time is the most precious resource. I wish that I had much more, because I love doing so many things. My day job has been very busy recently and has often become my night and weekend job too. I was very close to deciding to stop doing leatherwork while I was focusing on getting a big new grant started at work.
After several weekends and nights not getting away from work, I found myself getting grumpy and feeling achy and out of shape. I also realized that I was really getting nothing more accomplished than if I just took some time off to let my mind and body reset.

Here is a laptop bag that I made for a friend. It was about 2 years late, but I finished it today. I like the way it all came together in the end. If he doesn’t want it, I could probably use another bag at work…
