Just me, winding ratchet straps like a boss 💪

Then someone asked… well… a very creative question.

Let’s be clear: I welcome all curiosity, but I do not recommend inserting uncovered 3D printed items into your re**um. That’s not what PLA was made for.

🧠 Maker tip: 3D prints are porous, brittle, and not body-safe unless properly coated and sterilized — and even then, consult a medical professional before any off-label adventures.

Keep the questions coming though — the chaos fuels the content 😎

Hey friends! I’m doing a final clearance of my beeswax wraps — multiple designs, all handmade, and once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.

These wraps have been part of my maker journey, and now they’re helping launch the next chapter: fundraising for the World Scout Jamboree in Poland 2027

If you’ve ever wanted to support my work or just love eco-friendly gear, now’s the time.

✅ Great for lunches, gifts, and ditching plastic
🎪 Every purchase helps me get one step closer to the Jamboree

Well, that post stirred the pot 🍲—and I’m not mad about it.

To the legends who dropped kindness, curiosity, or just a cheeky laugh in the comments: you’re the reason I keep making weird, wonderful things. To the skeptics and haters… thanks for the engagement 👍

I read every comment. I laughed, I cringed, I considered a career in interpretive dance. But mostly, I felt grateful that this little corner of chaos sparked conversation.

Let’s keep it real. Let’s keep it kind. Say hello to the special guest at the end.

What does fundraising look like?

✨ It looks like the boot of a car covered in plastic—clean, empty, and ready for action.
😊 It looks like a happy kid collecting containers with a grin that says, “I’m making a difference.”
🚗 It looks like a proud scout sitting in a car full of containers, each one a step closer to Poland 2027.
🏠 It looks like a garage filled with bags, bins, and bottles—organized chaos with a purpose.
🧮 It looks like a kid counting and sorting to help the incredible volunteers at Whittlesea Community House.
📦 It looks like 1,143 containers—counted, bagged, and ready to be redeemed for adventure.

Every 10c container helps me get closer to the World Scout Jamboree.

If you’ve got bottles or cans to spare, I’m happy to collect anywhere between south of Hidden Valley and north of Childs Road on Saturdays! Containers can also be dropped off on our driveway! Just message me 📲
