This was a project for a new geocache I recently put out. It's commemorating a funny bit of local history when a barge became stuck on the beach for over a year after drifting loose from its moorings.
I glued the boat inside a fake rock for a bit more subtlety:
It's been published for about a week now, and reading people's stories has been great. Everyone seems to love remembering the barge on the beach!
Just apples, pumpkin, peanut butter and some spices... this was a fun afternoon project, and they turned out delicious!
This backpack has been stowed away at the back of my closet for a few months waiting to be fixed. It was being held together pretty tenuously:
Sewed some of the smaller rips, then added repair tape to the largest one:
Next step will be to turn it inside out and add some more material to the large rip. The entire bottom is pretty much thin enough to let light through at this point. I'll try to post an update once I fix that!
This was a birthday present over 10 years ago, no idea the exact model. It's held up really well, and still gets near daily use.
Clockwise from the left, it has:
Time for some new hides in my area
Ever since I started this hobby, I just can't look at an empty jar/pill bottle/tupperware without something in the back of my head screaming "check if there's a log book inside"! At least these are being put to good use...
Feel free to discover it on geocaching.com!
Can you spot it?
Zipper pull made from some shoelace I had lying around:
Parts of the bottom of the bag were threadbare (literally starting to let light through). Gooped over everything with a bunch of Shoe Goo sealant, which turned out messy but effective:
Overall I'm pretty please with how this turned out. Maybe not too pretty to look at, but thoroughly functional, and I'm sure it'll extend the life of this bag quite a bit
