Project Name: Prehistoric Holiday Decorating
Project Link: n/a
Brief Description: I have been in the thick of preparing my house for an insurance inspection (long story), and it finally happened this morning. In the process of cleaning/organizing, I came across a variety of craft supplies. I was able to put these together to create my only holiday decorations so far! The dinosaurs already had the holes cut into them (from an earlier project). This took about 15 minutes to put together, including the gathering of the supplies (it’s amazing how quickly a project can come together when you know where everything is!).

Yes? I installed one of the flippers wrong, so its range of motion is compromised. But its still playable.

Brief Description: This has been on my to-do list for years. I was going to buy pom pom garland several times and I kept stopping myself saying, “B, you have so much yarn at home. You can make this!” I FINALLY decided to sacrifice some pretty rainbow yarn and got to work. I ended up with about 45 pompoms. I wish I had another skein so it could fill the tree a little more, but it is doing it’s job this year! I’ll probably do another at some point in the future (or not).

Project Name: Quick Thanksgiving
Project Link:
Brief Description: My mom’s household all got COVID and we cancelled Thanksgiving at the last minute. We didn’t plan on making any fancy dinner at our house with it just being my partner and me. Then I mentioned I had some stuffing if we wanted a little taste of Thanksgiving, and it just spiraled from there. I ended up making a pretty well rounded Thanksgiving dinner with all things I had already. I even made the gravy from scratch with a roux and “Better Than Bouillon,” AND A PIE. We even had rolls in the freezer. Nothing SPECTACULAR, and I was still pretty impressed with myself if I’m being honest, since it was totally unplanned, lol.

Brief Description: No delivery people could see the numbers on our house from the street and it was a hassle for everyone involved. We rent so I was limited in my options to fix the problem. I ended up just doing a quick coat of a light acrylic paint. It won’t wear well, but hopefully it will get us through winter. It’s been an immediate difference for drivers. Amazing what a (sloppy) coat of paint can do!

Unfortunately (but very fortunately for me), I am self-employed, lol! That was at a monthly meeting I have with other self-employed colleagues.
I wish we all lived closer. I’d totally love a Nerd Games gift buffet! Maybe I’ll ponder the logistics of such a thing online-style for next year!
