This Thursday is Thanksgiving, which to most Americans means a big meal with friends and family. Here are a few projects focused on food, eating, and digestion which would definitely make my Thanksgiving meal a lot more interesting!

Today I had a bit of dessert to celebrate the end of my first year blogging here at Soft Circuit Saturdays. To show my thanks to my readers, I’ll be giving away one free Pro membership to Instructables. Thank you to everyone who has read the blog and offered great feedback on my projects!

Last weekend I celebrated Halloween by marching in the 16th Annual Portsmouth Halloween Parade. I had great time admiring all the hand made and elaborate costumes on display during the event. Here are a few of the electronic/light up costumes I saw along the way.

Last weekend I attended PodCampNH in Portsmouth. I gave a presentation on connecting with other makers online and talked about trying to organize a mini maker faire in our area.

This week I’ve been working on two different ways of creating light up fairy wings for Halloween.
