About: Hi! I'm a slightly feral mountain hermit that likes to be helpful. I do community management at Instructables & Tinkercad. 🙌 Want to hear me chat about making? Search "CLAMP Podcast" on YouTube or your favorit…
Wow, that was crazy. I think I'll do it again next year. :D
And you should probably head on over to the site and have a look as well:

Day 1:
Rocket ship clock - made out of cardboard and acrylic paint. Actually made late last night on a whim, but since I finished after midnight, I called it good.
Day 2:
Sassy kitty embroidery. I sorta want to do a whole series of her. She makes me happy.
Day 3:
Recovered my kitchen chairs with fantastically on-sale oilcloth. Feeling pretty good that all of them match now - even if a couple had to be pieced together! :D Plus, I only had a 10x12 piece and some scraps left over from the yard. No waste, wooooo!
Day 4:
Thimble earrings! I inherited about 30 of these from my grandmother, and I never use them while sewing. I decided to make use of a couple of them. They jingle very slightly when I walk, too. Awesome.
Day 5:
Cat toys for Miss Didi. (look at her cute little paws, omg)
Day 6:

Day 7:
Sriracha and sweet potato fries. Prepping fabric for a dog bed, too. :)
Day 8:
Famous hair of The X-Files.
Day 9:
Sassy Kitty and I are both in bad moods.
Day 10:
Pieced together the top of Roscoe's new bed. :)
Day 11:
Love Bot made from scrap felt.
Day 12:
Hand printed a ton of valentines from a block of foam. Sore arms.
Day 13:
Sugar scrub - white sugar, honey, olive oil, cardamom... also made some trial fudge to go with the valentines.
Day 14:
Fudge was a bust. I spent the rest of day 13 signing and sealing valentine cards, and all this morning packaging candy into little bags. 26 cards and 26 bags of candy! Whew!
Day 15:
Made my first necklace! Buttons and embroidery floss.
Day 16:
Attempted to paint a trashcan, realized the spray paint for plastic sucks, made a catchy sign.
Day 17:
First impressive doodle in a long time. :D
Day 18:
Birthday party - made spinach & artichoke dip, refried bean dip and sides.
Day 19:
Started to decoupage a shelf.
Day 20:
Finished the shelf! :D It's covered in western paperback pages.
Day 21:
Slenderman doll draft... messing with making a pattern.
Day 22:
Dinner. Pasta, garbanzos, a red onion, three cloves of garlic, broccoli, red chile, cheese.
Day 23:
House remodel for Didi.
Day 24:
Embroidery of my horrible tooth. My wisdom teeth are finally coming in. I might die.
Day 25:
A rough day. Work was crazy, I was exhausted, so I simply embroidered the word that described all of it. :P
Day 26:
Pika needle book - now my needles won't be alllllll over. This is my second needle book.
Day 27:
Lunch. Chickpeas, peppers, onion, a thai chile, and bulgur. Sometimes I want happy food on dreary days.
Day 28:
Sewed up some potholders and made a how-to! https://www.instructables.com/id/Sew-your-own-potholders/
