It sure has been a week. Yes it has. There were social engagements nearly every evening, tons to get done at work, I spent a couple days fighting off some kind of cold that wanted to subdue me, I finished two commission projects, we had a 4-hour Desert Bus 6 meeting on the weekend, and [...]

(future) lemon trees!
This week’s tutorial is going to be a little different than usual, in part because variety is fun, and in part because I was on vacation most of the last week, and the whole point of vacation is, I feel, somewhat ruined if one spends it worrying about how to get a blog post prepared. [...]

Assassin’s Creed 3 hood – this time it’s a full tutorial!
Remember several weeks ago when I posted about making an Assassin’s Creed 3 costume piece for a LoadingReadyRun video? The post where I was like, “this turned out so well, it totally wasn’t even that tricky to do, isn’t it awesome” and then didn’t include a tutorial. Cuz I’m a jerk. Well this week I’ve [...]

fabric scrap flowers – and why my body will be eaten by moths.
I’ve recently been inventing all sorts of little projects to use up my fabric scraps (so that I’ll be allowed to acquire more fabric scraps, of course). I get the feeling that this is a pursuit I’m going to have all the rest of my days, unless I suddenly stop sewing. Y’know, if Hell freezes [...]

cherry blossom thank you cards
I’ve been trying for ages to craft a decent representation of cherry blossoms, since they’re one of my very favourite things. The felt ones I did way back near the beginning of this blog were alright, but I never really managed to put a decent looking cherry blossom tree on a card. Until now. Cherry [...]

pooping paper bunny basket
Easter. Bunnies. Chocolate. Somehow in the very weird evolution of all things holiday, these three things came together. Ok, so the Easter Bunny delivers countless chocolate eggs to little boys and girls, but what’s a rabbit doing with eggs? Where’d he get them? I’ve spent the past several years studying and then working at a [...]

PAX Enforcer shirt mod
My friend Angela recently asked me to help her mod a long sleeve t-shirt. Angela is a PAX Enforcer, and thus has a “uniform” to wear during the twice-annual, three day convention. That uniform is a long-sleeved t-shirt, like the one seen above (which is last year’s iteration). It varies in colour and brand, but [...]

- Blog post is late late late, but finally posted! And it's partially about me completely f*#%ing up on a project... http://t.co/Bv1lC9EB
- So far I've resisted b/c that's super passive aggressive, & passive aggressive people drive me crazy. But seriously dude, SHUT UP!
- Feeling /really/ tempted to just leave my iPhone out on the balcony playing music at its highest volume.
- Trying to get work done, but the neighbour's highly audible phone conversation keeps distracting me, & it's too warm to shut the windows.
- If you're not outside, you should get outside! It is GORGEOUS out here. http://t.co/4U05fYnX
- RT @LunarJade: I'm going to guess that this kind of thing never really caught on. http://t.co/uhJLs6cm
