Famous Fox Dens Multichain

I’m so impressed with Famous Fox Federation! Today they announced that you can associate your Ethereum address with your Fox Profile on Solana.

I went to my profile, signed in as thingelstad.sol with Phantom, and then connected to thingelstad.eth with MetaMask! 🤯

Now when I look at Foxesburg Geluksdal #GEL384 my Foxes are there (staked of course), all my Solana Angry Bunny Club, and my Ethereum wallet with my Divine, ENS domains, and even a POAP I migrated to Mainnet from xDai!

Angry Bunny Club Jigsaw Puzzle

We make a custom jigsaw puzzle each Christmas. This year I also took my collection of Angry Bunny Club NFT’s and created a custom puzzle from it. I created a collage of the various images and ordered both of the puzzles.

I love how it came out! The Bunny images are all 3,000 x 3,000 pixels so there was plenty of resolution to work with. I wasn’t sure how difficult the puzzle would be but it turned out relatively quick to solve. All four of us did it together and finished in about 90 minutes.

I decided to make this puzzle with no specific up or down. This was partially due to the design of the Bunnies, which are all clipped at the chest. By having them go all the way around I could more easily align them all on the outer edge of the puzzle, and then have some in the middle behind the bigger ones.

This puzzle features 18 Angry Bunny Club NFTs, all are ones I hold in my wallet right now. The bunnies included are, in ascending order by ID:

Bunny #338, Bunny #393, Bunny #501, Bunny #519, Bunny #1308, Bunny #1626, Bunny #1688, Bunny #2076, Bunny #2465, Bunny #3069, Bunny #3337, Bunny #3678, Bunny #3680, Bunny #4598, Bunny #4801, Bunny #4926, Bunny #5011, and Bunny #5128.

I’m pretty sure this is the world’s first Angry Bunny Club jigsaw puzzle. 🤩

I love this new micro.blog Posts Stats Plugin from Amit Gawande! “Total Words Written 445,145 (that’s almost 11 novellas).” See all the numbers on my stats page. Thank you @amit! 🤩

Tammy finished another puzzle today. The 1,000 piece “The Lion Is Awake” by Souther Salazar. 🧩

We all watched Flipped tonight. Great, heartwarming movie. Tyler’s pick.

Ordered a 2022 Continuous Wall Calendar from Kairos Cognition today. Going to try using this as a family planning tool this year.

It has only been a week since the last update on the siding and window project but things are progressing nicely. The weather is getting very cold now which may put a pause on some things. We’ll see! 🤞

Tyler got started on his Christmas LEGO, building Old Trafford - Manchester United stadium! ⚽️ This is going to be amazing to see finished!

Mazie started her Christmas LEGO today too, the Roller Coaster! 🎢 She has already complete the Carousel 🎠 and Ferris Wheel 🎡 and this will complete that set. We may need to create a motorized display for these.

I got Trekking the National Parks Trivia for Christmas this year. It is a fun and fast game to play. You get to learn things too. I got Trekking the National Parks in 2019 by the same company. Great gifts for fans of the National Parks.

Land of Things Christmas Puzzle

Today Tammy put together this years custom Christmas Puzzle that we made for her and it came out really well. It was definitely the hardest puzzle we have created yet. We titled it “Land of Things”.

And here it is put together in 18x24" 500 piece jigsaw puzzle.

We took a unique approach this year. Tyler and I have been having fun with Townscaper so I asked Tyler to create the overall base of the puzzle using Townscaper. He used the iPad and spent a while creating various islands and buildings. We thematically tied each location to houses and neighborhoods we have lived in. We also included our cabin as an island that you had to get to by boat.

After we had the scene in Townscaper I loaded the city on the desktop version of Townscaper in Steam because it could render it larger and export a higher quality image. Using a screenshot on the iPad wasn’t high enough resolution.

I took that image and then we loaded it into Procreate and Mazie went to work drawing on top of it. We added grass, various scenes, decorated some things, a big sea dragon, etc. The details were really great.


Notice the GEM Tomatoes stand that was so awesome in our old neighborhood.


Our old neighborhood in Minnetonka with the Rock’s next door having rocks in their yard.


Lucky is hanging out in the back yard playing with a tennis ball.


I love the lighthouse with people hanging out on it, and the ice cream shop with people waiting in line.

We could have spent so much more time adding special details but we had to finish, we took well over our deadline as it is. It is incredible how much time a good jigsaw puzzle takes to design!

We are already thinking about 2022’s Christmas Puzzle! 🧩

The Angry Bunny Club has been on a roll lately with active trading driving the floor price up significantly. I dig my collection of 19 bunnies that I’ve accumulated over the last couple of months.

Also floor and inventory stats.

Hit a poor raccoon that was crossing I-35 on our way to the cabin tonight. Couldn’t see it at all until it was too late. Struck driver side front fender at 70 mph. 🙁
