Today's challenge is finding out if there's 5V here that's stable enough to run the notoriously finicky Raspberry Pi 3.

🌼 There are just a few days left to see Donna Kendrigan's surreal work, Season of the orchid, in our Handmade Universe exhibition.
Donna's botanical characters act out a scientific discovery made in 1927 by self-taught naturalist, Edith Coleman.

It’s been a while since I’ve been inspired to do any making but feeling pretty chuffed with these blackboard rocket ship party favours for Mr 6yo’s birthday.

Incidentally, hearing a 3YO try and say/sing "Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me" is hilarious.

It's been a long day of copyright training but I still managed to sneak into the Victoria Gallery at State @Library_Vic to see #HandmadeUniverse. I loved all of the creations but Sarah Spencer's Stargazing knitted cosmos map created by hacking a knitting machine stole my heart!
