After
my week home alone while Ian took our kids and niece off to
the cottage, we've switched places and now he's manning home and business while I'm on vacation. I had a few lovely days up in the woods, and then we headed for
Detroit to spend some fun time with my parents.
My brother, Arno, suggested we visit the Maker Faire event going on at
the Henry Ford Museum. It's a wacky sort of happening. There was a
cupcake zipping around that kept getting shot at by an air cannon full
of stuffed animals. There were all kinds of wheels to try. Aden got a
knitting lesson. All my kids got to carve rubber stamps. There were
tons of 3D printers in action (one using Nutella instead of plastic).

Even though Mold-A-Ramas were not an official part of Maker Faire, the
Henry Ford Museum has ten of them, including a new one we didn't get last year, so we were excited to pick it up. And the really funny thing was that many people manning the high tech 3D printer booths wanted to ask us about the Mold-A-Ramas we were carrying around and thought they were incredibly cool.
