I like making things, where things is a very broad category.

Things I have made this year:

  • Serving boards out of recycled pallets
  • An outdoor chair and toy chest that live on our apartments shared lawn
  • A sandbox (for the same lawn)
  • Upcycled a table into a coffee table out of more recycled pallets
  • Monitor shelf for my desk
  • A Hurdy Gurdy (Musical instrument) following the Nerdy Gurdy Plans
  • A 3.5M Long Snake that I knitted on my circular loom
  • A ~3M long scarf (also done on the circular loom)
  • Knitted several Christmas stockings
  • A wooden six pack holder
  • Lots of boxes (mainly for storing tools) out of scraps at the makerspace
  • A networked "On Air" sign that turns on and off when OBS is recording (okay there was a little programming for this one and I'm writing a post about it)
  • Some Christmas Ornaments
  • Attempted to make some mechanical earrings
  • A chocolate wheel (the spinning wheels from game shows)
  • Probably more that I've forgotten about

And when I'm not busy making things I enjoy hanging out in my friends streams, chilling with my partner on the couch watching shows, and tending to our balcony garden (which has three jacarandas that are nearly a year old, and a planter with three rockmelon plants in it, plus a smattering of other plants).
