Force Friday

I live with all boys. Thus, I know it's Force Friday. The Bitty Bots know it, too.

In Recovery

I've been taking some time to recover from the big project. Translation: I've been procrastinating and then finally organizing.

Then on to the opposite of my last project--Bitty Bots.

 

Sometimes you need a little Bitty in your life. 

Bot Adoption Time!

In the midst of packing up the house, I'm trying to get some of my completed robots up on Etsy, including the fabulous Otto the Otter Bot!

Okay, yes, I'm a bit of a procrastinator and really hate packing. But that means you get to adopt a reassembled robot!

Go. Adopt. And live happily ever after.

Day 29 (Creative Sprint): Hide-n-Seek

Day 29 (Creative Sprint): Make something someone else has to find. Provide a map or clues to lead seekers to the location where it is hidden.

My 8-year-old and I teamed up with our Bitty Bots for this one. We hid the Bots in the kitchen high above everything and then wrote coded clues using a cypher disk. The older boys had to translate the code and find them. Inside one was the message, "Tag! You're it!" Perhaps Robot Hide-n-Seek will catch on around here.

Day 23 (Creative Sprint): Role Reversal

Day 23: Do someone else's job for some part of the day and create something in their workspace or based on the experience.

As a homeschooler and stay-at-home mom, it's hard to go do someone else's job (you try finding someone who wants to switch), so I decided to trade places with my boys and play on their favorite table.

Bitty Bot Break!

Mash Handmade needs more Bitty Bots. I always enjoy making them, although it can be challenging to keep each one unique.

Still Chuggin'

I seem to have a problem with keeping up with things that require, you know, thoughts and words and all that other coherent stuff. Luckily I'm still completely capable of operating the drill press.

I'll work on that whole coherent thing at some point.

Christmas Ornament Bonanza!

It's that time of year again. The ornaments are rolling off the re-assembly line. Check my Etsy shop if you can't live without one. (Hint: You can't live without one.)

You and What Army?

The Bitty Bots are Coming

I'm working on new Bitty Bots. Perhaps a Bitty Bot army.  Watch out, world.

It's a Coupon!

It's a Family Thing

I was commissioned to make a tiny robot likeness of a customer's family.  Though at first I felt daunted, I really enjoyed it and had fun.

He's Got Guts, Man

 
This daring Bitty Bot has embarked on a questionable mission. He's agreed to test the yet-unproven jet propulsion Bitty Bot add-on.

Putting all his faith in the vintage typewriter part that acts as a sturdy base, this little bot is still safely tethered to the earth, but gets to soar free like an eagle. (At least that's what the brochure told him.)

Here's hoping the jet propulsion engine doesn't blow up.

(Bonus: Spend hours upon hours spinning this little bot. The lack of a mouth ensures no unsavory side effects from motion sickness.)

 

Day 285 - Do You Feel Lucky? Well, do you?

 

 

 

 

Bonus Bots:

Day 262 - Robot Delivery

Lt. Hank rounds up a few volunteers for a covert op--code name ROBOT DELIVERY.

Day 209 - Going to Florida

With a few frantic final touches, these beauties are headed for a show in Florida, thanks to Cheri Kudja.

 I couldn't very well let them go without a few "story" shots.

"This was when music was music!"

"Your dog is beautiful. I see he takes after his owner."

The abnormally-large bird eyed Norman hungrily.

Norman stared at the ground, unsure of what to say to such a pretty girl.  Having an attentive audience wasn't helping.

"They never let poor Norman join in any robot games."

Day 205 - Bitty Bot Production

Some new Bitty Bots are coming to a show near you . . . if you live in Miami.

Day 156 - Bitty Bots, Part III

The final three emerge . . . though not with the best picture quality.  You can't have it all.

And now, some group shots.
