#lockdown projects

New tires, rebuilt forks, new cylinder, piston, plug, coil, magneto, high-compression head, power valve, carburator, water pump, chain, sprockets, gas tank.... and I can't get the fucking thing to run still! Only part in the electronic loop left to swap out is the CDI - so I will pull all the wiring, inspect, and see if a new CDI doesn't fix it. This has been the most frustrating custom project so far! Started at the onset of Covid in March 2020 as a lockdown project. Still not fucking running!!!!

did I share this already? This guy is a web dev who just knocked out a great synthpop album for something to do during lockdown, IIUC.

Stay at home gnomes

My latest project is complete. A gift from my Mum for Christmas. I learnt some new techniques and really enjoyed seeing them one come together, even if sewing in all the ends was a bit tedious. I think they are meant to be a little fatter than I made them, but I felt like any more stuffing would have been to much.

I love the way heart turned out on the apron. I will definitely be using the duplicate stitch method in the future as it is so simple and works so well.

This pair now resides on Tracy Island, where the rock can hold up them up, as they are top heavy and can't stand up on their own.

Lockdown project 1  – Electricity Meters Removed  In order to keep up with the times and make our guests stay as easy and as comfortable as ever, our first lockdown project was to remove the electricity pound coin metres in all of our six lodges.  We are certain that this will be a popular improvement for all our returning guests, but hope that we can all  continue to be conscientious about…

My latest lockdown projects.

(the flowers for the cushion were made last year but i finally finished the project this evening.)

The sloth is called Sammi and it only took a day and a half to make her, which surprised me.

The hat is for a friend that I need to send off.

The cushion is for my sofa. It's a bit tight now but the last one has stretched and flattened with use, so I'm hoping it'll fit perfectly in a few months.

My latest lockdown projects. Knitted after work as a way to relax and de-stress. I unravelled an unfinished project that I started 5 years ago and realised was a little beyond my ability. Now it's something new I can finally wear! I also found out the sex of a colleague's baby and couldn't help myself in making a little set for them.

It's strange times all round and after whumptober I've gone back to my favourite relaxing past time: knitting and crochet.

With lockdown meaning I can't do much else, it's become my nightly activity. Great way to get my mind off the stresses of work and slowly make a dent in the massive pile of wool that needs using up.

These are my latest completed projects, mostly done when I had to quarantine for a few days.

Two hats for colleague's children, a shopping bag (new pattern, a little smaller than I expected it but I'm thinking of possibly editing the pattern to make it bigger. Might make a nice Christmas present for someone) and another cushion cover.
