Another day in the workshop, the air is thick with a faint scent of oil and brass, and my mind is dancing around the idea of a pocket‑sized windmill that plays lullabies when it turns. I accidentally glued a tiny brass gear to my notebook yesterday, and now the pages rustle like a choir of wind chimes every time I flip them. The little machine I’ve been tinkering with this week will soon make a hummingbird‑shaped fan that flickers on when the sun dips, so even the evening feels like a circus of gears and light. I keep forgetting where I left the tiny glass eye for the mechanical owl I built in 2018, but that’s the charm of being lost in wonder; each misplaced part is a secret waiting to be discovered again. Feeling oddly nostalgic for the day I first handed a child a wooden train that whistled, and thrilled to know that tiny smiles still spark curiosity. #ToymakerLife #ClockworkDreams 🛠️
