Thanks, Nicole! I used the window like a light table when I was tracing the tricky bits, too. I'll try to get a picture of that next time.

Definitely no additional electricity. ❤️

 My wife had a slow leak in one of her tires. The problem was a nail. I removed it and plugged the tire.

I made a cute bird feeder inspired by a photo I saw on Pinterest. I found the pretty teacup and saucer/dish at a thrift store, glued them together with hot glue and then glued them to wooden plank which I hung by a cotton string to the wall just above my flower garden. I filled the dish with birdseed and now I sit for birds to come along. The trees in the yard attract lots of birds so I hope they will be very happy here:)
Edited to add: this took me about an hour to make.
