The most recent hobby that I started in 2022 is quilting. I quickly learned that "we quilters" like are gadgets and this is one that my daughter bought me from a small quilt shop. We like to support small businesses, now more so than ever since they continue to struggle and more and more are having to close their doors for good. I heard this morning that they have now come to the point where they must raise their prices to keep afloat due to the higher cost of staying in business, like heating, their cost of merchandise or ingredients to make products, etc.,
This is a new PIN holder. It is a tiny (1.5" tall, 2.5" wide) cup with an extremely strong magnet at the bottom. What makes this special is that you can drop the pins from 5-10" overhead and they land sticking straight up in the cup. So what, you say. Yes, I heard you! Well, when you go to retrieve a pin, all the pins are sticking straight up, if you turn the caddy over or if it gets bumped, the pins stay inside and do not spill out. It is difficult to explain why this works so well, so I think I shall stop before I bore you anymore. But the darn thing really works great.
La gente quando non capisce inventa, e questo è molto pericoloso

When people don't understand they invent and this is very dangerous
I LOVE COTTON... pure cotton, it keeps you cool, it keeps you warm...
The fiber is most often spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft, breathable textile.
The use of cotton for fabric is known to date to prehistoric times; fragments of cotton fabric dated to the fifth millennium BC have been found in the Indus Valley Civilisation.
Although cultivated since antiquity, it was the invention of the cotton gin that lowered the cost of production that led to its widespread use, and it is the most widely used natural fiber cloth in clothing today.
It comes in the most gorgeous colours. I chose this beautiful combination... watercolours? Turquoisy green and royal blue...
Thank you for your time and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)

In the celebrated metropolis of London, during the year 1837, an era wherein steam reigned as the sovereign of invention and the harbinger of man's mastery over nature, there was convened a conclave of women unparalleled in their intellect and indomitable in their courage. The Aetherian Coalescence, they were titled, each a luminary in her own right, united under the banner of progress and the pursuit of the ethereal realms.
Lady Penelope Hargreaves, the scion of a lineage graced with the acumen of engineering, her hands adept at weaving the intricate lattices of clockwork that gave pulse to their airborne leviathan. Dr. Arabella Swithenbank, whose steam engines thrummed with a vigor that was the very essence of Prometheus’ fire. Miss Theodosia Barrow , an enchantress of the voltaic forces, her devices casting the brilliance of a thousand captured lightning bolts across the span of their craft. Dame Guinevere Loxley, the cartographer whose charts rivalled the celestial maps of the ancients, a guiding star in their odyssey. And Miss Isambard Brunella, a machinist of such deftness that her creations spoke of a harmony between the artisan's touch and the unyielding metals of the earth.
The vessel of their dreams, "The Celestial Peregrine," stood poised upon the cusp of dawn, her silhouette a testament to humanity's ascendancy over the bonds of gravity, her engines a symphony of steam and steel. As the first light of morning kissed the Thames, the airship ascended, a ballet of gears and gales, into the empyrean canvas above.
Yet, as is the wont of fate, the skies unveiled their tempestuous heart, challenging these daughters of Icarus with a squall of such ferocity that it seemed as though the firmament itself sought to reclaim its dominion from the hands of mortals. But amidst the maelstrom, the resolve of The Aetherian Coalescence shone with the steadfastness of the North Star, and it was by their unity and the fortitude of their creation that “The Celestial Peregrine” was guided safely through the tumult, descending not in wreckage upon the tumultuous sea but upon the embrace of the verdant earth with the grace of a nightingale alighting upon its nest.
From this odyssey emerged a revelation, a spark of genius that would illuminate the path of progress henceforth. They devised an apparatus, a marvel of valvular alchemy, which would render the steam engines of the future not only more robust against the caprices of the tempest but also more gracious in their consumption of the coals that fed them. This mechanism, born from the exigencies of their voyage, became the cornerstone of an epoch wherein the skies teemed with the silhouettes of airships, each a scion of "The Celestial Peregrine," carrying aloft not only the affluent but all who yearned for the splendor of the heavens.
Thus, The Aetherian Coalescence had not simply touched the skies; they had transmuted the very fabric of human aspiration, setting the celestial highways abuzz with the promise of adventures untold. It was a testament to the boundless potential when the ingenuity of the human spirit is applied to the realms of the possible, and it was in this spirit that the age of aerial travel flourished, under the watchful eyes of the five who had first chartered its course.
Geelong’s magnificent waterfront precinct's bollards. Painted by local artist Jan Mitchell, the bollards have become an icon of Geelong.

One of the Sound Mirrors at Denge located on an island that I meant to visit for some time. These concrete structures were pre radar inventions located along Britain’s coast as an early warning system against invading fleet of the enemy aircrafts.
Happy New Year to you ALL!!!

The modern pencil was invented in 1795 by Nicholas-Jacques Conte, a scientist serving in the army of Napoleon Bonaparte. The magic material that was so appropriate for the purpose was the form of pure carbon that we call graphite. It was first discovered in Bavaria, Europe, at the start of the fifteenth century; although the Aztecs had used it as a marker several hundred years earlier. Initially it was believed to be a form of lead. It was called graphite only in 1789, using the Greek word ‘graphein’ meaning ‘to write’.
Sorrow sucker. The more I drink the happier I get! lol
This is for FGR...maybe.
I'm def. not an inventor, so this is as good as it gets.
The 6th graders are Worland Middle School all had to invent something. All of their inventions were then showcased at an "Invention Convention". Carmen's invention was a slanted lap deck that doubled as a pillow.
I invented this useful cheap way to keep your cable tidy. Perfect for your iPod iDog companion (if you have). Otherwise you could use this for any long cable wires. For bigger cable like TV, use bigger bone (need harder material). Make sure the CUT is not too big, so the cable can slide fit into the HOLE.

That's why, when Philo Farnsworth invented the first all-electronic TV set in 1927, he should have forever destroyed the prototype once he learned that one day, an asinine concomitant TV-borne instrument would arise called THE SITCOM!

Hope is a strange invention --
A Patent of the Heart --
In unremitting action
Yet never wearing out --
Of this electric Adjunct
Not anything is known
But its unique momentum
Embellish all we own --

Yet another smaller build. I have two Bricklink Orders on the way, and I'm excited to start building for SHIPtember :D I have a plan that I really like.
In terms of this build, I just wanted to use the Chima speeder thing for something.

Hmm, looks like I’ve caught the 0.6 bug; there’s so many cool parts over 0.7.
Anyway, Belphegor is a customer commissioned boomstick manufactured by SIA and titled after one of the seven princes of Hell responsible for inspiring people to make new discoveries and inventions.
Hope you like it guys and gals; the unfortunate soul on the receiving end certainly wont!

This is an incense smoker, the invention of toy makers in the Ore Mountains, used to burn down cone incense, known as Räucherkerzchen (e.g. pine scent). Räuchermännchen come in countless variations.
The Räuchermännchen was first mentioned in 1850 and is now a common component in the German Christmas tradition. For this, an incense cone is first lit and then put on the lower half of the two-part wood figurine. The hollowed-out upper part is placed over the lighted cone, which burns down inside of the hollow figurine, the smoke (e.g. pine scent) leaving the mouth hole of the Räuchermann.
