What have you made lately?

Yes, for years it was in the backyard against the fence under the shade of a couple of large trees. It got filtered light. About 9-10 years ago I repotted it and laid it over
for more of a cascading shape. Then about 2 years ago into this larger pot. In this location it gets a lot of morning sun until the early afternoon, but still with bright light throughout the day. Will take some more thinning and training to get the shape I want. Ha, but I'm no bonsai master!
 
Last year I made some napkin rings out Silver Birch branches and gave them to my Daughter for Christmas. I made 12 for her and included red napkins. When she open the box she had a big smile on her face and said "Dad, thank you but I think I'm going to need about 12 more!" :giggle: So this year she's getting another 12 and toothpick holder. Her Brother is also getting a set of 8 rings and a toothpick holder. The 3rd set of 6 w/toothpick holder is for me. (The toothpick holders are for use with the charcuterie / cheese serving boards I'm almost finished with.) Each piece has the centers and ends sanded then a coat of Miniwax polycrylic, semi-gloss, applied and dried for two days, then lightly sanded (400grit) and a second coat of polycrylic applied. Used a flat 1/2" wide artist brush to apply the polycrylic.

You do know that is why God invented velcro right? :ROFLMAO:




I appreciate the work and craftsmanship in your solution though as well.

the problem with velcro is you still have to attach it to the thing and it's not all that rigid

that speaker goes in an airplane
 
There are carrots in the base, which got the immersion blender treatment.

Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe

In the world of cheaty foods, broccoli cheese soup has always seemed like one of the cheatiest. There's nothing wrong with owning it: Cheese is delicious, and not every single lunch has to be virtuous. Still, I sometimes wish that the broccoli part of the whole thing was taken a little more...
