Hello! My friend is starting on a new path as a luthier (guitar repair) to support herself and her dog. They can use some help...new career means training. Please share and support however you can! www.paypal.com/pools/c/9sqp...

What a cute craft. Rough first go is on my tree. Hopefully practice and playing with different tools will produce some worth sharing with friends. 🙂‍↕️

It's almost one year since Sarsaparilla moved in and I'm fuckin delighted to update that she meows and chats with me all day now. Most recent meows that I caught, but we do be yapping.

Sarsaparilla is THEE guardian of the tree. Band-Aid tried to climb it a 2nd time and she shooed him away from it. She loves to sit behind it and daintily bap the bells and ornaments.

Only the pieces connecting the two halves of Jen's broom were 3D printed but whew. It actually folds up. Here are the bones. I'll probably remove the fabric I put over this to remake or at least reinforce this. It was made in such a tizzy. I also need shorter bolts. 🤣

The most important part of the crunch, though, was my props inspector, who bapped every piece to ensure durability.

When I adopted this grumpy little potato, I was warned she was a hisser. She's also growled, spit, and snapped her teeth at me. Today, about 1 1/2 months after she came home, she finally let out a tiny meow when we were hanging out and playing.

It's been a wild few weeks as I learned how to use a 3D printer and 2 new kinds of software to make cosplay props. These are the biggest ones so far, including a WIP layout. Huge credit and thanks to @exceptionalpotato.bsky.social without whom I wouldn't have the opportunity to FAFO like this.
