Show your love and support of Acadia National Park with this themed picnic table organizer.   It features three slots for your flatware and one for your napkins. 

You can download the STL for printing this out from Printables or Thingiverse - note many libraries have 3D printers!

Please be sure to "like" the designs on the above sites and if you do print it out please also share your make!

Have your own 3D printer, a friend with one, or even your local library? You are in luck! I am making the STLs for these available via Printables and Thingaverse so that anyone can print these out on their own.

Introducing the first in my line of Picnic Table Organizers!  The organizer has four compartments; one for forks, one for spoons, and one for knives with the back compartment to hold napkins!

Each side depicts a scene from Bowlus, Minnesota's history: front side is based on a street scene from 1910, right side is the Saint Stanislaus Catholic Church, back side is the old Bowlus Depot, and the left side is old fire hall!

Cost to print is $30 and I will donate 10% of the sales to the "Save the Bowlus Firehall Fund"!

I call these Easter Egg Lamps but the egg shape could be used for any time of year (the first time I created them was for Easter).   Using two to three photos a lithophane lamp can be created and the image shows through when the light sourced is on.  If using only two images, both should be landscape, and if using three all three should be portrait.  

I can print these out for $30/each and bear in mind it takes 24 hours to print  them out!   

A nightlight Lithophane created to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week!   Created using a photo depicting a hand watering a seedling that grows into a plant. 

Was a very nice day to be outside and it was time to get going on potato planting, about the only thing I plant this early!   As usual I did it "Mad Gardener Style" where I lay down cardboard and news paper, a thin layer of wood chips, and then a thick layer of hay.   I then hill will more hay or grass clippings.   Saves on digging, both for planting, and when it is time to harvest!   In the fall I just pull back the hay/grass and sort out the potatoes!  I was able to get three rows in today and plan to finish the fourth row tomorrow!

Garden C is ready for planting, although its far too early to plant the seeds as we always get freezing mornings in April and the soil is definitely not warm enough.   However, I managed to get it mulched using techniques based on lasagna gardening.  

Happy Easter!

Collection currently includes Easter Eggs featuring four US National Parks.   I started with the two national parks my oldest son enjoyed the most and the two my youngest son enjoyed the most.   Created as Easter presents for them but also fit into my National Parks 3D print project!
