Never sighed a bigger sigh of relief than when we went to pick up the car after a service and for them to say there’s nothing wrong 🀣

I’ve had such car anxiety since the clutch died last year so it’s some nice peace of mind that a year later it’s still all good πŸ˜…

Laith has been working super hard on this for months, so it’s so exciting to actually have a handful of full prop prototypes functioning successfully! It took many, MANY test prints and edits to get here but it works so well, I’m super proud of him! πŸ₯°
We’ve been working on a new prop-splitting system! 🀩 if you’ve been following us for a while you may remember last year we were experimenting with 3D printed screw threads to split apart props for storage and travel, but we ran into breakage issues.

They’ve been an absolute labour of love but we finally finished up the headdresses for all the Elemental sets from ToTK!! Frostbite truly tested me (and Fusion lmao) so I’m very glad to finally have them done πŸ€£πŸŽ‰

Drizzt Do’Urden’s scimitars, Icingdeath and Twinkle from @Wizards_DnD βš”οΈ These two were a fun little challenge this past week! Client gave me a variety of refs but I chose the original designs because they were more fun than the current ones! 🀩

Twinkle was a lot of fun to replicate the delicate, elven details and design language! These pics were taken before I went and hand-etched the runes into the blade in zbrush πŸ–‹οΈ

New little toy!! My overlocker has never been the same since our last house move so I was lurking fb marketplace and came across this beastie for $200 amidst a bunch of $400 domestics 🀩

I wasn’t actually looking bc to buy so soon, only to get a vibe on price but this was too good to pass up! She’s all in working order, came with literally a hundred spare needles and the original manual. I’m super chuffed!!

So my little New Year’s resolution for 2024 was to hit myself with the β€œWhat’s the Worst that Can Happen?” hammer. Say yes to things that scare me. Talk to people on the internet. Tell people the compliments I think in my head but don’t write down. And it sounds so SILLY but 1/

like it’s actually worked??? I took a lot of opportunities this year I may have turned down if my brain wasn’t like *BONK* What’s the Worst that Can Happen? The silly little replies to tweets or posts that have stemmed into friendships that I wouldn’t have bc I was too awkward 2/

ANYWAY in the end I got them to print off my prescription for me and ordered 3 pairs online (standard, sunglasses and blue light) for less than what I would’ve paid for 1 in store πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Had a printer complain the SD card was full and needed formatting to still work over cloud only to discover it was full bc it had automatically been timelapsing every print and we now have 2 years worth of untouched timelapse content we didn’t know we had 🀣🀣🀣

Glad I had a nosey through the folders rather than just formatting like BambuStudio suggested 🀣🀣🀣
