This weekend I’m fixing and swapping a door knob that won’t close, installing some new curtain rods, and cutting wood in prep for building a shelf
theres just something about it all that’s so soothing 💆🏿♂️

Whittling is my new found hobby and it is so much fun. For the uninitiated whittling is carving wood into different things.
It is so satisfying, you can sit outside and whittle away the hours and at the end you get something cool out of it. You can make anything as well. You can go collect the wood and then turn that into something amazing. I made my first spoon yesterday. The kits are also super cheap.
If anyone wants any advice on where to start (from an absolute beginner myself), I am happy to share
Everyone should whittle, the world would be a better place!!
It’s also not that hard once you get going.
That spoon came from half a tree stump!

recently i have been taking wood carving classes at the community centre. i initially wanted to sign up for something more conventional e.g. pottery or sewing but they were all full. this ended up being a blessing in disguise because wood carving rocks. i’m by far there slowest person in the class but i really enjoy the methodical process. reflecting, i realize i had been doing my own sort of wood carving as a child who fidgeted a lot and was always tearing apart branches and popsicle sticks. any way, right now my project is a leaf sculpture that isn’t really “my taste” but i hope afterwards to make a cool large bowl for my coffee table that i can fit trinkets in
