A summary of Madness and New Employment.

I said before in a video probably a few years back I was going to focus on my life more than post on YT and meeting content expectations. And I've been doing just that. (My 2-3 videos a year is testament to that.) Well 2025 was another reckoning year for my life. Around October 2024 I thought I came down with a sinus infection that wouldn't let up. By January 2025 I was seeing specialist to figure out why I was constantly in pain. It was around February when I found out I had an " opacification of the ethmoid sinuses" which before we realized the severity of the situation we were jokingly calling it "Leaky Brain".  I started my youtubing to calm myself from my job.

3d Printing Freebie : Embroidery Hoop Frame

Image
I created a basic frame to use with 7" Embroidery hoops. I am using it specifically to display my pins, you can use it however you like. If you want to download the file for yourself to print, head over to the FTC Thingiverse page to get the files needed for printing.  I'll be working hard on keeping a continued presence here if no where else. Videos are just getting too hard to plan and execute before my attention span dwindles and it sits for months on end. Maybe I will look into tricks for maximizing editing time?

End of Year Wrap Up.

I've been sick of the last month. I'm okay, nothing bad just persisting evil painful sinus infection that refuses to go away. SO it's kinda put a stop on all creative endeavors. But I have been thinking about my major projects for next year. I'll be revealing those plans in January, but I am already working on the outlines to make it all happen.(And a few long term projects that are still sitting in the unreleased queue) Guess I should think of my new years resolutions while I'm at it!   Merry Christmas! See you all in 2025!
