Mama bear became the pride of the family yesterday, attending the University of Regina Spring Convocation, completing her Bachelor of Social Work. Your hard work, dedication, determination and resilience to my constant unruly behaviour has set a fine example for us, your family and friends! Proud of you!

Another big up in an unusual space.

These six sets of custom, hand crafted Corn Hole boards are a hair under regulation size in the X and Y and 3/4” short in the Z for best use of material. All other standards are preserved, such as the 6” corn hole centered 9” from the top and a tilt resulting in the backend to be 12” from the ground. The regulation size bean bags contain one pound of plastic corn pellets and are two sided with canvas on one side and leather/suede on the other for a slippy/grippy strategy. Bundled in a heavy duty, fitted and padded transport bag.

These boards feature the logos of Northern Sport Culture and Recreation District and Pahkisimon Nuye?áh Library System and are part of the Northern Active Living Library and are now available to borrow through PNLS, all you need is a library card!

I had the logos printed locally at LA Signs/ LA Interior Solutions for a very reasonable price and quite expeditiously, the canvas and leather were also acquired locally from Ol' Lodgeskins, fortunate to have places like this accessible to us!

Once again, I was well unprepared for the amount of work that went into these, how little space I’m working in and how frustrating a sewing machine can be. All of this crafted by hand, with the exception of the totes, mostly solo, skirting weather and winter storms. A lot of fun in this one, nothing is perfect, as it should be.

Thanks NSCRD for the trust and support, it really came in clutch.

I’m notoriously hard on my tools, squares seldom stay square and things get caught and bent in ways you wouldn’t believe. Got hooped into Temu’s broken promises and ended up buying a bunch of stuff, including these two T-squares and I’m quite impressed, both are dead 90, have some pretty decent features and look fancy. Too bad they’re metric, like I’m Canadian or something.

Next!
