Alec went upstairs to his room and looked around. He'd started a new project, which he knew wasn't great, but, in his mind, this project should help with his stuff and storage problem. He'd gotten rid of a lot of his stuff. A shocking amount of stuff. He had a small bin of loose stuff to put in his junk journal, which was a slow but steady project he was slowly learning he loved doing, but he also had a bunch of posters and pictures. The pictures he could put in a box, too, but the posters were awkward to store. Not to mention, it was hard to enjoy pictures and posters when they were in a box. So, he'd been working on putting them up on the walls. He didn't want them slap-dashed and a whole mess, he wanted it to look nice! So, using the smallest bits of painter's tape he could manage, he was putting up a few at a time and judging how they looked. It was kind of tedious, but only halfway through and he could tell he was going to love the end result! The rainbow was kept free, of course.
Xander went to his shed where he'd been trying to learn a new technique that should make his handbags stronger. It was trickier to do and took a lot of time, especially since he didn't really know what he was doing, but he stuck it out. He wanted to be proud of his work! He wanted to put out good, quality items that would last. Not cheap stuff that someone would think had been made in a shed in a negative sense. It was easy to lose an hour wrestling with bits of leather and metal and glue. The glue was starting to make him feel a bit lightheaded, even with the windows and door open, so it came as a relief when his phone chimed to remind him that it was time to head to Dark's shed. He put everything away neat and tidy and walked over to stand near the door of Dark's shed to wait for him.
