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
Seguo la natura senza poterla afferrare; questo fiume scende, risale, un giorno verde, poi giallo, oggi pomeriggio asciutto e domani sarà un torrente.

(If this looks fuzzy, reload. The image is clear, but Flickr has been acting up of late.)
P.S. Initially I had a difficult time posting this image because I didn't have a title. That may sound strange, but some images demand of me titles and/or poetry or music.
Then my Aunt Theodora was admitted to the hospital and suddenly the image had a purpose. She was my late father's last surviving sibling. She passed away yesterday, with family by her side. I visited her in the hospital 2 day's ago and for just a moment, she smiled and winked at me.

just doodling on the back site of a calender (yupo effect) and quotes ,everything what's in the mind..... just draw and write
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.
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!

Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. They are but improved means to an unimproved end.

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.

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 --
