When I grow up, I will drive a tank, and this is why.

Chaotic Noise practice session

They’re just, you know, playin’ away in the back yard, getting ready for Honkfest. Perks of having a bandmember as a housemate.

I bought a new stereo

I think I need a bigger entertainment center.

Ceiling fan in my bedroom

It got warm, so I decided it was time to install a ceiling fan. It’s a nice way to take advantage of the post-remodel bedroom ceiling height.

Woodshed / bench for my back deck

Adam H. came over yesterday and we constructed this shaded storage box for all the firewood that has been cluttering up my yard. Since it abuts the firepit area I thought it would be fun to build in a new bench for more cozy seating; now the fire is ringed on three sides.

Jakouageha


This 42″ giclee print of Echo Chernik’s “Jakouageha” is signed by the artist and numbered “1/1”. There are 50 of the 36″ prints and 20 of the 48″ version, but this is the only 42″ print of Jakouageha that was ever made. I have had it on layaway for most of a year, with a little poster version of the image standing in for it in the meantime. I’m very happy to have this beautiful piece of art over my mantel, first thing you see when you walk in the front door.

First half of roof over back porch

Well that wasn’t hard! Took just a little over an hour to nail four of the five panels up. Just a simple project really, since the frame was already there, but it’ll be nice to keep the porch dry and available for outdoor meals during the rainy months.

New propane fire pit


This propane burner holds a pile of rocks, diffusing what would normally be a simple blue flame into a big wispy orange flame like a traditional campfire. I have a perfectly serviceable firepit at home, but this portable burner will be great for festivals and camping in areas with burn bans, where it would be important not to leave a bunch of ash or create flying sparks.

Simple summer shirt design, take 5

I made some more tweaks to the simple summer shirt pattern: rounded the armscye, tapered the sleeve, added a topstitched French placket, and lengthened the hem. I mismeasured the placket width and made this shirt a little too blousy but I’ve taken the pattern in so the next one will be better. This particular shirt also has lapel facings, but that detail is too fiddly to qualify as “simple”. I think I’ll reserve this design for fabrics which don’t have a clearly “wrong” side, then work up a variant with a banded collar which will work better for prints and the like.
