The space elevator project was funded by the world's billionaires, who were offered exclusive luxury tickets on the first ride up into space.

After the launch, the project announced a second funding round, to start looking into the feasibility and advisability of installing a "down" button.

@smellsofbikes If it made it to breakfast, you have a stronger will than I do.
@smellsofbikes My parents' new(ish) corgi is like that too - he doesn't "settle," he just flops and he's out. Wish I fell asleep that quickly, lol.

Somehow I found myself writing a blog post about why nerds should try knitting: https://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2025/05/30/consider-knitting/

@smellsofbikes That's a "why are you taking my picture AGAIN" look if I've ever seen one.
@smellsofbikes And I'm here for every one of those entries. So sweet.
I've been chipping away at a new project: remaking a sentimental 50-year-old quilt. It's in rough shape, to put it mildly. Left pic is where I started. Right pic is after 4 rounds of gentle hand-washing + painstakingly picking stitches to take it apart + removing rotted batting. Next up: removing some ripped rows at the bottom, and salvaging squares to patch holes elsewhere. #sewing

"3D Greenhouse" by Cheryl McKinnon from Cross Stitcher Magazine (Sep 2021)

This is such a cool little #crossstitch project I started to give myself a break from Celtic Winter. The original had this stitched on aida and backed with cardboard, but I saw someone else do theirs on clear plastic canvas so they could put an LED light inside! I just knew I had to try that so here we are 😁

@smellsofbikes @emery You thought correctly. :) *Love* the colors!
