Droid Repair Kit Decal

I’ve been a big fan of Star Wars since I was a kid — moreso since Disneyland opened Black Spire Outpost. And even moreso since I got to take a trip on the Starcruiser in Orlando. I’ve used my Maker skills for all sorts of Star-Wars-themed projects from Sabacc chips to racks and cases to … Continue reading Droid Repair Kit Decal

A Laser-Cut Drawer Organizer

The ADU (the “cottage,” as the guest house has gotten to be known) has a giant kitchen silverware drawer. And it has a big mess in the corner that’s just a clump of binder clips (“chip clips” and the like), rubber bands, and twist-ties. It’s just a big ol’ mess. If you need a clip … Continue reading A Laser-Cut Drawer Organizer

(Re-)Making a Tarot Journal

I have been absolutely inundated with ads for at least one (and I think multiple) Tarot-Journal Kickstarter projects. The central theme behind all of these ads is thus: you back the kickstarter and, if successful, they send you a tarot deck, a set of small rubber stamps, an ink pad, and a special daily journal … Continue reading (Re-)Making a Tarot Journal

Many days I’ll have a drink or two between dinner and bed. My go-to drink — some variation on a whiskey and soda — is one I tend to make at half-strength, so I might have more of those. But some nights, I’ll get engrossed in binging a TV show or watching a great movie … Continue reading The Drink Tally

Mason Jar Size Cheat Sheet

Much like the Hex Math Cheat Sheet, this is more of a “note to self” post. I use a lot of mason jars. Storage, projects, drinking glasses. I have various custom lids, and a few I’ve glass-etched. They’re all wide-mouth, but I can hardly remember which is which size. So I made a quick cheat-sheet … Continue reading Mason Jar Size Cheat Sheet

Quick Build: Pill Bottle Organizer

One of the cats now takes pills twice a day. Some need to be quartered and some need to be halved. I end up making four days of pills at once and stash them in one of those pill box organizers you’d expect an old man to be using. (Well, technically, he’s getting to be … Continue reading Quick Build: Pill Bottle Organizer
