Heather has more hobbies than time
Projects
Breadboard remote control
Create a remote control that I can use to physically interact with lights and other home automations.
Split pea experiments
It would be very cool to recreate this experiment. Keep a lab journal. Write observations. Observe Mendel's rule in action.
Bread cutter
This one is probably either unsafe or unsavory. But I would like to see the look on Spencer's or Emma's face when I unveiled it. Perhaps use in charcuterie some day for the baguettes.
Mailbox
My current mailbox lets in rain and snow, and is hard to access for the postman. I would like to make a cute but functional mailbox that I can mount on a good solid wooden post in the lawn somewhere.
One thought was to make the mailbox in the shape of my house, but in miniature, but I do want it to be functional and I don't know how well I could work that. I suppose I don't really actually need to make all the interior structure, it can be hollow and just hold letters. Perhaps the roof swings off or something.
Spaghetti
I would like to make a scrumptious spaghetti monster that kind of seems like he is a little guy. His outsides are made of garlic bread, his insides, spaghetti with red sauce. Udon noodles are infinitely superior to spaghetti, so probably those.
He is eaten by ripping him open. Steam comes pouring out, and perhaps, a tiny, distant wail. Was that.. just the sound of the dough being rent? The squeak of the noodles? Surely not, the soul leaving the body..? You have made him, you are his creator, you have imbued mere bread and sauce with Life, and then you have Taken it Away.
Here is what he would look like ---->
