Need to pry myself away from Pinterest before I start serious plans to master every handcraft. I've dabbled in leatherwork for book binding, and I'm seeing so much shoewear that is just a bit too high for my fragile ass. I've done embroidery for my knit toy making thing. But I know I end up doing shit like gathering buckets of acorns to tan rabbit from the butcher shop if I let myself just go at a thing. I adore a new distraction.

I could salvage cloth I found in a dumpster and go as freegan as I can to prevent me from collecting hobbies as my hobby again.

Like behind upholstery factories for discarded samples, not used bedbug covered chairs full of rusty springs.

@p3R1n01D It's 4:30, the brain is reminding me I promised it bed before dawn. Baby steps with the sleep schedule, staying up all night never works, I'm too old now. Here I am thinking of sewing boots made from scraps of upholstery, and what would I do for a sturdy boot, I have steel toed work boots for that one job that fell through when I stopped driving. Now I can sleep easy, tomorrow will be nice and inspired.

Right on! Sounds like a wise move, think I'll follow your lead. I was just setting up my sewing machine for the first time in years. I have a fleece robe that will be perfect for this weather with a few modifications, but pushing through at this late hour would lead to a rushed job. Have a good night, and enjoy your creativity tomorrow! 😊 🐿️
