Thing-A-Day February 2021 Craftalong

I need motivation, too. I’m gonna count household projects like putting a new shelf in the pantry. And embroidery, fixing the curtains, maybe painting that yellow star…

  1. worked on a kinetic sculpture.
  2. Planted three cactus, and did some planning sketches. Reworked some of the kinetic sculpture
  3. Bracelet buttons. Planted the last two cactus.
  4. Made ciabatta bread successfully for the first time, plus assembled the workings for the kinetic sculpture. It might need more adjustment, plus the aesthetics.
    And I designed and 3D printed a set of labels for my jugs of iced herbal teas. Mmmm tea.
  5. Designed and printed a replacement hummingbird feeder bottle. It leaks, and doesn’t fit the screw end quite right, so I reworked the design and it’s printing again.
  6. Worked on the pretty part of my kinetic sculpture, at 4am because I couldn’t sleep. Tested the new hummerfeeder bottle; still leaks.
  7. changed the band and scarf on my winter hat, using a leopard print pajama top.
  8. Drew up the embroidery design and selected floss for the kinetic aesthetics. Plan to work on them tomorrow while waiting for medical test.
  9. Good plan, the test ran an hour late. I got a good start on the embroidery!
  10. Sadly, I got lots more done on the embroidery while waiting for another doctor today.
  11. finished the first part of the kinetic aesthetics. Also made sugar free peanut butter banana cookies. They don’t taste like much of anything, but boy, are they healthy…
  12. Finished my kinetic project! Made Thai curry. Mmm.
  13. Took photos and wrote up my kinetic project, Mt. Catsmore .
  14. Made a Valentine for my sweetie, covered a storage box with pretty paper.
  15. Altered a shirt for sweetie when I realized it was 8pm and I hadn’t done my Thing for the day.
  16. Recorded, uploaded, and linked Mt. Catsmore video! First time ever!
  17. No Thing.:unamused:
  18. Mended and added an elastic ankle band to my schleppers, turning them back into slippers. Made biga for ciabatta bread tomorrow.
  19. Made ciabatta. Researched and brainstormed ideas for my March ornament.
  20. Worked on March ornament ideas and a UFO embroidery.
  21. Finished and mounted the embroidery. Designed and printed new hummingbird feeder base, to go with the bottle. Then redesigned it to work better.
  22. Made heel pads for a couple pairs of shoes, & 3D printed a planter for the basil plant I ordered. Edited and printed wallpaper for mini scene–six times. Sigh.
  23. Hand drew the wallpaper. much better. Designed and 3D printed a pencil holder.
  24. Took everything out of our pantry cabinet, added a new shelf, and put everything back.
