Leatherback Ledger Vol. 1, No. 9 - Keeping the Workshop Warm
Welcome back to the workshop.
March was… a lot.
I won’t dress that up or pretend it wasn’t. Between life, responsibilities, and everything happening behind the scenes, progress didn’t look the way I originally planned — but the important part is this:
The workshop didn’t go cold.
Even when things slow down, even when focus gets pulled in a hundred directions, showing up at all still counts., And we didn't just show up we made significant progress on a large 3D print design project. That’s something I’m learning in real time.
🐢 This Month’s Drop
Instead of overloading things this month, I wanted to keep it simple and useful.
🎁 April Freebie: Spring Turtle Coloring Page
Keeping things simple this month — a relaxing spring scene to print and enjoy.
Take a few minutes, slow down, and color something.
🔨 What’s Happening in the Studio
Even with a slower pace, things are still taking shape:
-
Digital downloads are continuing to grow (quietly but steadily)
-
Structure for categories is getting tighter and more intentional
-
The foundation is being laid for something bigger — even if it doesn’t look flashy yet
This stage isn’t about speed.
It’s about getting it right.
🌱 A Small Thought for April
You don’t need a full plan.
You don’t need everything figured out.
You just need one thing you can move forward.
That’s it.
☕ This Month’s Recipe
-
1 cup cold brew or chilled coffee

1–2 tsp vanilla syrup

Splash of milk or cream

🧭 Looking Ahead
April is about rebuilding rhythm.
Not rushing.
Not forcing.
Just showing up again.
If you’re still here — you’re already doing better than you think.
More soon.
