Busy busy

So tired. Managed to get eleven orders out today; I'm gonna count it as crafting for this week because my fingers are too damned sore to touch anything else (I normally like to get orders out quickly, but I tend to ramp up for pre-Xmas orders just for the delay on the post). Like, I'm literally typing and scrolling with middle fingers because my index fingers hurt.  Anyways:



I'd have gotten a couple more done, but Steve sent the wrong colour in my leather order.

We finished watching The New Adventures of Monkey last night, and really enjoyed it.  But it kind of made me think about how I binge watch most everything these days - even if it is released weekly, I wait until it's done.  There's no fannish speculation or dwelling on individual episodes for me there.  Something I'm going to have to think about.  Like, I watched all three seasons of Unforgotten a few weeks back and haven't even mentioned it yet. 

One of the things I've waited for and then binged is the Bag Man podcast, by Rachel Maddow.  Really interesting if you're following politics at the moment (due to parallels), or are curious about the other shit that was going on during Watergate. Can recommend.

Anyway, gonna go slog through this book I'm trying to read some more.  It's heavy going.  (Fear, by Bob Woodward.  Would only recommend if you like his other books, or haven't read all this stuff already in easier to consume books).

Hm, I might check that podcast out!

It's really good, it's about Spiro Agnew (I'd only vaguely heard about him, being in the UK). Lots of interviews with the original prosecutors and defense lawyers, which I found interesting too.

Those are lovely! What a nice range of colors, too. I'm always so disappointed when leather covers only come in ... well, basically the colors cows are. That green is especially pretty.

Thanks! Heh, I put up with the total omnishambles that is my leather supplier because he has all the pretty colours XD Also he's aware that he's an omnishambles, so he puts it right.

The red and yellow ones definitely made me stop and go, "Oooh..."

[spindle_ella]

Thanks! All my current orders are for the red ones, lol.

Those are really pretty!

Wow, eleven orders! Hope business keeps booming!

[spindle_ella]

Thanks! This is a busy time of year :D (back to school, then cyber-week, then xmas).

Pretty covers! The blue one reminds of a hobonichi cover I wanted last year. So soft and lovely <3

[spindle_ella]

Thanks! I keep contemplating going into hobonichi covers; I get quite a few custom orders for them.

I bet! I do notice that a lot of people may just want a cover, but don't wanna pay for the cover and the shipping from Japan. It can add up fast!
