Yesterday was a bit of a nostalgia trip from my errands. I picked up a mechanical pencil of the model I used in high school, and it must be said its slender size is and improvement over the newer mechanical pencils I use, fancier though they are.
I also made myself a safety-pin bead fob one might put on a keychain. I remember wanting to make one as a kid, and I finally did. I used embroidery floss instead of wire for part of it, but it seems to be holding up well. I may put instructions on my plog.
