Cardboard mock up of a Weasley skiving snack box. I will make a wood one, but it may wait until I have table saw access once we can visit people. It will be an awesome craft tool box. I felt like I was channeling @donttrythis working in cardboard and making a box.

Icelandic curls for needle felting. What won't make great hair or fur will be spun.

It doesn't look like much right now, but this is the project I've been working on the past couple of days. Any guesses as to that it will be? #mydaughterlovesthatbook https://t.co/vxBk180Bsl

Thank you Mr. @donttrythis for posting the link to making milk jug skulls. It gave me the basis for my mask to be able to follow my Hogwart student daughters around as a dementor. It didn't turnout as planned, but I'm happy with it for the time I had to make it.

My 9 yo is rereading The Order of the Phoenix. Her questions are "What does Moody see in the desk if a boggart doesn't take form until in front of someone" and "What would the boggart be if he encountered it?" I love how these books encourage her thinking. Thank you @jk_rowling

Hillary Clinton is 71 and people tell her to knit.
Nancy Pelosi is 78 and people are telling her to go away.

Mitt Romney is 71, they want him in the Senate.
Bernie Sanders is 77, they want him to run in 2020.

Its almost as if there's some sort of pattern.

Today's project: edging the driveway. I only managed to get the shorter half finished. The heat was too much. I did have help though.

@FrankIppolito @boringcompany @elonmusk And since our boss-man spent his money on this, the company will add in another dollar donation to the California Wildfire Relief Fund, for every retweet we get between now and Monday morning (June 11th at 9am pacific)

@RedPineBarron @donttrythis I love to see fiber artists included here. I also love to see the variety of crafts and the juxtaposition of the yarn and scroll saw. Looking great!

I'm starting a new feature on my blog. I call it "Weird shit I hear when making in public". I'll add to it as I continue to make in public and hear weird stuff. Mostly comments come from people who haven't seen a wide variety of crafts. Time to teach!

My Valdelia Etsy shop is open! Right now there's a small selection of things I've made. More will be added as I continue to make! Check it out! https://t.co/VZzixA8DmG

I set up a photo area today and took pictures to put into my Valdelia Etsy shop. Soon you'll be able to buy stuff made by me on Etsy!

@donttrythis Totally. I've been a maker for a long time, in my spare time. It's mostly "soft goods". I wouldn't be making this awesome crystal fox without felting knowledge. People who would look down on a portion of makers because they do what women do/did, anger me.

The second #savagemakerbox arrived today! This one is about cosplay. I'm excited to see what's in it and get making!

My Thing 1 (9 yo daughter), who doesn't know how social media works, saw tweets from Adam Savage @donttrythis in my feed and asked "are you messaging with him?! Let him know I love Mythbusters!" I had to explain social media to her. She was a bit disappointed.

I haven't spent much time on this (that needs to change) but I'm starting to see shapes I like, mostly in the hind quarters. I'm nervous about the head, but I can't put it off much longer.

We were finally able to finish our house (main level) mock up! Here's my Thing1 and Thing2 who helped me with measuring and gluing. Now they're itching to do the upstairs. @donttrythis #savagemakerbox #startthemmakingyoung
