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 [...]

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 [...]

leg warmers from old sweater sleeves
I’ve decided that leg warmers are kind of cute. Before you scream for me to be cast into a vile pit of fashion mistakes and other torments of the 1980s, hear me out. I love boots – I feel they balance out the bottom of the legs a bit, especially on women like me with [...]

paper Valentine’s candy packets… with a sinister twist
Today’s post is simple, silly and will make you think about something that gives any sane person a shiver of abject horror; Tommy Wiseau’s film, The Room. The Room is possibly the worst movie ever… well I hesitate to use and thus desecrate the word “created.” “Spewed forth into the world” is more accurate. If you’ve [...]

Zelda health bar hat – a geeky Valentine
I’ve spent the last few weeks pounding my head against the sugar-coated mountains of Valentine’s Day paraphernalia that floods the internet at this time of year, trying to inspire myself with some kind of brilliant craft honouring this saccharine holiday. It has been to no avail. It comes down to this: I simply do not [...]

bug-eyed fleece monster hats
While roaming the internet last week, I found a site telling me that January 20th is Hat Day (along with being Cheese Day, Inaugeration Day and Penguin Awareness Day. January 21st is Squirrel Appreciation Day. Seriously.) I knew this must be true, since as we all know, the internet does not lie. It just… contradicts [...]

- 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
