Hey friends, does anyone know what either of these objects are?
(They were found in a deceased relative's jewelry box.)
Please boost for added eyes, thanks! 😊

The lettering on the object on the left says:
Hadley Made in USA
Both ends open up to 90⁰ and the main body expands and contracts about a centimetre.

A clever person has said that the object in the right is a Writescope telescoping mechanical pencil. Thanks!

I did it! One useful creation; a scarf to match my winter coat, crocheted with colour-pooling technique. It took a while, but it worked. Phew.

We have a parliament of absolutely superb owls

Two small brown owls with actual feathers, (but not real) sitting up high on a shelf
A statue of an owl with mostly white feathers but a dark ring around its face and some dark areas on its wing tips and tail. It has long legs and is standing up on a high shelf.

Hey there fediverse. I found this thing in with my mom's sewing stuff. There's only one, it has a slit in the end with the circle. Any idea what it is? A bobbin? Floss spool? shuttle?

Holy f*@k - I did a Thing!
I inherited a part ball of variegated yarn - which I dislike using because I feel it's disorganized, chaotic and messy looking. But I've seen this thing done online and decided to spend a day screwing around and tried it. It bloody worked. (Eventually) I'm amazed. A combination of programming and sorcery.

A small panel of crochet made with green, yellow and white variegated yarn, but it is organized into an argyle pattern. The technique is called colour pooling.

First panel of the kitchen backsplash. The scenes are the views out our windows depicting the seasons and recent history of the land around us. This is early spring and the first of the farmers is clearing and working the land. The church was built in 1875 and is now our home.

A goofy stocking stuffer for my adult son who WFH. Good for when you want to throw an F bomb during a crappy zoom call or distract an annoying canine co-worker.

Day 12 #ArtAdventCalendar

Another Christmas decoration for my sister when she moved in to her #TinyHouse. I sent it to her in pieces and didn't tell her what it all was. (I also sent her a photo with each of the disks under different sized coffee mugs as a misleading bit of entertainment. 😇)

A six inch high crocheted Christmas tree sitting on a coffee table. It has strings of beads and sequins draped around it and there's a small star at the top. The tree has a slice of tree trunk for its base and is made from alternating light and dark green crocheted disks in descending sizes.

A stained glass sculpture of a water lily plant with three orange and amber flowers each atop a copper stem and three large green lily pads branching off the main stem. Each flower and lily pad holds a small votive candle which is burning brightly in the dark. The only light illuminating the sculpture is from the six candles.
