Even with the extension, I didn’t finish the projects I wanted to complete! I ran out of yarn for a project, and when I started to look for where I had tucked it, it sent me down a rabbit hole that did not include any craft time. I made progress on something else, but then had to switch gears to prep some things for school this week. I had such grand plans for the summer, too. Sometimes, I just can’t get out of my own way…

Team: Team Berserker Barbarian
Project Name: Vinyl for My Classroom
Project Link: n/a

Brief Description: I needed some labels for some of my curriculum binders, and my team mate needed a label for a stool. We collect cell phones in morning homeroom, and he has something like a shoe holder to store them in. They are numbered according to where the students sit, and a girl who has one in the top row is too short to reach it. So he picked up a stool at IKEA and I added the vinyl. I actually had to do it twice- I used some old YELLOW vinyl, and it was like the adhesive had melted- it was oily on the back, and wouldn’t stick to the stool at all! Anyway, she hasn’t seen the stool yet, but I think she’ll be quite pleased!

Project Name: Summer Journal 2022
Project Link: n/a

Brief Description: For the last couple of summers, I’ve been keeping a journal of what I do each dar/week. This year, I decided to keep it simple, and do 1 page per week instead of 1 page per day. So, I redesigned the page layout, made a cover (front and back), and then, because it was fewer pages than in the past, I staple it together instead of using the Bind-It-All.

Project Name: Alien Planter
Project Link: n/a

Brief Description: Many years ago, I received some sort of gift in this alien head. I used it briefly as a planter for some cacti, but they didn’t survive. I think it was because there was no drainage. So, it sat, full of sand (and for a while, full of dead cacti) until I finally decided it was time for a reboot. I bought some floral foam to stuff into the bottom to catch excess water. I had planned to trim away a bunch of the edge of the opening to fit a potted plant, but the pot fit almost perfectly (it’s plastic, so it had a little flex) and so I only needed to trim a very small amount to get the pot inside. It looks pretty fun sitting up on the shelf, staring at me while I work!
