Well, I've done some more tacky tacking, and like repeatedly patching some shonky code, it may do. It certainly looks overtly 'mended' which may be good for festival boogieing shorts, but they'd better not be my only pair! #repair #upcycle #mend

Before & After!

I ended up redoing part of it because I had given the legs way too much flare, but proud of myself for making this lace super quickly, it was worth it!

I still want to take in a few centimeters at the waist at some point but I don't have time, so a belt will do for now.

It feels so nice when you can reuse what you already have and make it prettier too!

Added cool stars to the back of this pair of thrifted. I thought the black would contrast pretty bad but it looks pretty fine ig.

Going to do blue stars on the front legs in the same sorta position but maybe in a different thread.

Also these gem things left glue behind I couldn't get off so I covered it up with buttons I found off something earlier this week. Hopefully they stay on and look cool.

A pair of thrifted jeans that I jazzed up using scrap jean fabric.

I wanna get so into making upcycled clothes and sewing and selling stuff I make more and maybe joining a craft community.

I have about 3 more that are almost done that will go on my ebay soon too. Idk prices at all.

Completed the standing desk riser. Not a "sit/stand" one - I have a seated desk in another room, this is in the "spare" room where space is limited.

Because it needs to move when people (like our eldest) visit l, I've made this collapsible. The whole thing folds down to the width of the rear legs.

Made from #palletwood and some steel tubing from a disused mini-greenhouse.

Really pleased with this. I'll finish the ubiquitous blog post and share it in due course.

I posted over on @irishmasms@pixel.infosec.exchange The #mug
I received at #microcenter in #santaclara yesterday.
It is a nice mug, it will be added into my rotation.

The new store, well it is nice to see them back in #siliconValley
Not as nice as I recall their store in #denver and definitely focused on #peripherals targeting #gamer types and #influencers
The selection of #3dprinting supplies was impressive

The crowds was insane - the parking lot was full, lines for support was long, checkout was not that bad. I did not purchase anything though. The couple of items I would have considered was on sale but sold out or was more than I was willing to spend.

I would suggest going in the off hours or waiting until the newness dies down before going.
