Our “It’s Raining Coin Cells” LED art display for @crowdsupply #Teardown2025 is coming along! We wanted it to be instructional too so we’ve left connections and some wiring visible and will have signs with more info on how it was constructed. Plus maybe some freebies to grab!

I'm on the hunt for some Circuit Playground Express boards for a companion bot camp for tweens I'm teaching in July and the usual distributors are out of stock. Does anyone know a place that has them in stock or would be willing to donate some to our library makerspace? I'd hate to cancel it if we can't get the hardware in time. I've been hoping for places to restock and am subscribed to notifications but I know the industry is in a tough spot right now with tariffs and supply chain uncertainty.

Today’s progress. I still have a lot to do with cutting the right pieces of shims, figuring out what to do with the gap where the shim piece meets that decorative edging, and painting everything. But it works! Good enough to test this out for a couple of weeks before finishing it off.

I cut a hole in my purrfectly good door because I love my cat. I just moved and kept him inside for a week, which is challenging for both of us. Last night I could tell he was beyond ready as he howled for 10 solid minutes in the middle of the night.

It’s an interesting project, but I have been a wee bit terrified of fucking up my door. I’m happy to report it is totally functional, aesthetics I’ll work on later.

Yesterday’s progress:

Join us today in SLO at the Hub on Monterey! We’ve got a booth of goodies and are joining 40 other women-owned businesses who are all showing you what we do best from 12-4pm. This includes some awesome food trucks! Should be a beautiful and fun Sunday.
