For these garden signs I'm making, I ended up buying a brass stencil set and traced out the letters on strips of wood. I need to paint and clear-coat them next.
Notes
This is what ChatGPT came up with for me when I was looking for inspiration. I'll post what I end up coming up with myself when I get the real ones made!
This is a test, I'll probably delete it later.
At the end of July I built a small container pond with my two oldest sons on the side of the house by our wildflowers. I wanted to provide a natural place for creatures to have access to water and maybe even invite some lesser-seen guests to my yard like frogs.
Well, after a few weeks I have my first amphibious visitor! This frog showed up on its own and has stuck around for 3 days so far. And I saw my first hummingbird since we bought this house. I'm looking forward to more visitors!
Man, it's been a while! A lot has happened since I last posted in January, but I wanted to share a pic of my garden that I planted around the beginning of June. Not bad for the first attempt since we bought this house.
I finished crocheting a pair of fingerless gloves to wear while at my computer in the basement so I can still type. They're 100% merino wool so they're warm, but they do make it a little difficult to type. Hopefully I get used to them because I think they turned out pretty well!
These types of gloves remind me of the hobo in The Polar Express, but I'm not too concerned about looking fashionable 😜
This is my first note! I'm hoping to use notes on this website to post fleeting thoughts and ideas rather than waiting to have time to write full posts.
I've been reflecting on how I have a lot of hobbies and interests. It's difficult for me to "pick a lane" so to speak. I end up spending money to get all set up with a new interest, only to jump ship after completing the one project I had in mind. This isn't always the case, but it's happened more times than I care to admit 😅
A couple interests have been constants though: woodworking and programming. I'm not necessarily going to stop expanding my interests and trying new things, but it's good to know what I consistantly keep coming back to.
