I’ve seen several people doing year-end wrap up posts today with their Top [instert number here] Projects/Blog Posts/Reminiscences of 2011, and I thought I’d finish out the year in style by copycatting them. I hear cats are popular on teh internets these days. I was going to choose my five favourite posts, but I just […]

plastic tub party hats
When enough champagne is imbibed, people become willing to put just about anything on their heads and pose for a picture.* Or so I’m hoping, since this week my mom and I made several silly, colourful party hats from old yogurt tubs. With New Year’s Eve happening tomorrow, I have a perfect opportunity to test […]

derpy penguin dolls & penguin bowling
Tis the season of penguins! And a lot of other stuff, like eggnog and pretty lights and reindeer antlers and super annoying pop remixes of Christmas carols. But for today, we’re focusing on penguins.

Desert Bus for Hope 5 – how to lose a week of sleep in the best way possible
There will be no tutorial this week, as I have been helping to run a 24-hour a day marathon fundraiser since 6pm on Friday, Nov. 18, and crafting has, this very once, taken a back seat. I would, however, like to take a moment to reflect on the week. Desert Bus is without a doubt […]
