HELLO! Welcome to my hobby site.

Since 2020, I’ve been listing out my making themes and goals for the year. Doing so keeps me focused on making the things I love, and it’s fun to look back over the year and see what I made and what didn’t make the cut.

2024 theme

Meaningful Makes

So, for 2024, I am going to go with “Meaningful Makes” as my theme.

The concept: Make things that are meaningful to me in some way. That’s it! Simple.
