I made myself a pair of slippers from an old pair of jeans and their knee patches. Thanks @lisababey for the pattern. These were super easy but I did alter it a bit. First I added a layer of fleece and 2 layers of old shrunken wool blend sweater to the sole. A single layer of denim is NOT warm enough for my hardwood floors. The pattern as given was much too large for my feet and too narrow. So I traced a pair of my water shoes. Still too big. I altered as I went and have a good idea of how to make these to fit better. The right slipper (left in the pic) is better than the left because I learned as I went. The layers of denim and sweaters and fleece was almost too much for the antique machine. But it powered through. My wife wants a pair now. She'll get 'em. #makergonnamake #maker #craftyfuckers #upcycle #reducereuserecycle

Tepache! My first go is a success. Lightly fermented pineapple with brown sugar in water. Sounds iffy? I wasnt expecting much but its sour and sweet and tastes lightly of pineapple. I am in love. #fermentstuff #fermentedlife #fuckyeahferments #foodie #urbanoasis #citysteading #cityfarm #foodporn

In all of this my plants just keep pushing out ripe pods. Another sugar rush peach, a lone gochu, and a handful of macho peppers. The gochu and SRP will go into my batch of chicken thighs with taco seasoning then grilled. My plants all look amazing with a bunch of my habaneros pushing out blossoms. My yellow jelly bean has the cutest tiny blossoms.

Surprisingly non-restrictive over the nose. The coffee tie works well as the nose piece. Using tshirt for the ties is very comfortable and works better than elastics IMO. #makergonnamake

While in had the machine set up I made a little patch for this beanie to cover up the logo from a company where I used to work. Why? These beanies are the warmest I've ever worn. They are made for folx working infreezers and walk in coolers. Glad I found it in the depths of the closet. #visiblemending #maker #makergonnamake #reuse

A proper old fashion per drink boy's recipe. No muddled orange or cherry just a peel twisted, a splash of bitters, and a bit of sugar. Loads of ice no shitty cherry. (Unless it is as garnish.)
