Sewing Matching Pajama Shorts (Part 1) For Christmas, I made my partner and myself matching pajama shorts. This involved some preparation that began at the end of summer.
Sewing Matching Pajama Shorts (Part 2) For Christmas, I made my partner and myself matching pajama shorts. I learned how to adjust patterns, improved my sewing technique, and learned how to use a serger. And I did finish in time — on Christmas Eve with a few hours to spare!
Woodworking Adjustable Dumbbell Dolly I made a set of dollies for my adjustable dumbbells because I have to store them under the piano and drag them out every time I workout.
Code Blog Migration to Ghost I migrated my blog from Next.js hosted on Vercel to Ghost self-hosted on my home server.
Sewing Rectangle Top with Mystery Flannel I bought three pounds of mystery fabric and used one of them to sew my first top.
Home DIY Primary Bathroom Painting I painted the primary bathroom. I do not desire to paint any more.
Sewing • Life Hanbok Skirt I used some of my precious vacation days to sew a skirt. I still hate rayon crepe fabric. I also started tracking my workouts.
Game Dev • Life Game Prototype & Sabbatical Recap I finally have a game prototype. The game involves cats. And my sabbatical is over, so I reviewed how I spent my time and money during my time off. (I'm also still exercising consistently.)
Sewing Tie Dress I have finally completed my first major sewing project! Yay! (Use your imagination to visualize confetti falling from the sky and cats cheering in the background.)
Home DIY Hallway Bathroom Painting I have officially finished painting the hallway bathroom. A single room. But one room is better than zero rooms. And it gave me an idea of what to expect for the rest of the house, and if I really want to paint all the rooms. So far I am satisfied with the results.
Home DIY Garage Reorganization I reorganized my "workshop" area of the garage by moving shelves around and putting things up on a pegboard. Then I made a cardboard cat scratcher for my lovely cats who do not love me as much as I love them.
Sewing Pajama Shorts After finishing the hallway tablet, I said I wanted to return to my skirt sewing project. I did do that last week. Once again, it was a minor disaster. Then I spent many hours taking out the seams. I decided to try sewing a simpler project that had a pattern
Code • Game Dev Love2D Game Progress More Love2D learning and exploration. No actual game yet, but I made some cool buttons!
Home Automation • Home DIY • Life Hallway Tablet Mounted I mounted the hallway tablet to the wall. This involved cutting holes in the drywall for the charging cable, drilling wood strips to the wall, and velcro-ing the tablet to the wood. (I've also been exercising.)
Code • Home Automation Todo List Card I finished my custom Home Assistant integration and card. UI development for custom cards kind of sucks.
Home DIY Closet Build The closet is done. It's not great but it's good enough and I don't want to work on it anymore because I have other things I want to do. I had planned for it to get done in two days. It took five. I am tired. But it is done.
Home DIY Closet Shopping I bought materials for the closet shelf and it was not a disaster. (But I did have to make multiple trips.)
Code • Home Automation • Home DIY Todo List Notifications I implemented todo list notifications via Home Assistant automation. And my bedroom closet shelf is falling down.
Code • Home Automation • Sewing Google Calendar-based Todo List I made a lot of progress on my custom Home Assistant integration. I also bought a new sewing machine.
Sewing • Home DIY • Life Sewing & House Painting I attempted (not very successfully) to sew after five years and tested paint colors.
Home Automation Hallway Tablet I started setting up a hallway tablet with a dashboard for events and tasks. This was not part of my sabbatical plan, but I guess it is now.
