First time crocheting, it was a lot of fun to learn! Once I got the hang of it my fingers felt like they were doing some kind of choreographed dance. Tension was probably the trickiest part for me. For the next project I would try using a larger crochet hook for the foundation layer.

Made a wedge style handle for real this time! Had an old round head hammer lying around and an old chair leg for the handle. Used a hatchet and carving knife to shape the handle, and a hand saw to cut off the extra at the top.

Mended a hole in a pocket in a pair of shorts. They've had a hole in them for years! Happy to be able to have my keys not fall out of them anymore.  

I sewed on a button today for my mom's pajama top.

I made a button jar, and consolidated all my buttons together. Also nabbed the buttons off of a shirt that has been converted into zokins.

I made a handle for a tamper tool using a dead limb from our apple tree. Luckily it was a near perfect fit, just needed to hammer it into place. We used the tamper tool for a landscaping project at my sister's house.

Originally posted in pep-tool-care wedge style handle BB, but is not a wedge nor a pin style handle (the other handle BB).

So turns out I didn't do enough research on what a "wedge" handle was! I thought it was something that was simply wedged into place, but now I know that a physical wedge is placed to split the handle to keep it snug. Looks like the only handle BBs are for pin or wedge style, so I can delete the above post and maybe try it for an oddball.

Made a sign, inspired by the show "The Good Place". Highly recommended. It's posted right as you walk out of the back door to the backyard.

I made a couple narrow beds for our climbers using scrap wood and mostly reclaimed screws. Took about 30 mins.
