Sometimes life is about laziness, sometimes it’s about busyness and sometimes it’s about delayed gratification. This week it’s about all three. Because I’ve been busy packing all my possessions into cardboard boxes, I got lazy and decided to just watch Arrested Development at the end of the day (several days in a row), thus you’re […]

paper orchids AND spiralled paper roses
We’re moving soon, and I’ve been slowly going through all my stuff, organizing and paring down. When I say “stuff” I largely refer to crafting supplies, since that’s what most of my world is made of. While sorting through all that “stuff” it came to my attention that I have what might technically be referred […]

paper plants
All of my houseplants go through a sort of trial by fire. Or trial by neglect, to be more accurate. If they can withstand my general gardening ignorance and sporadic-at-best attention, they get to stay. If not… well in that case there isn’t much of them left anyway, is there? It’s not that I dislike […]

needle felted mice (or rats)
This week, I have a story for you. It starts with a scritching noise in the wall behind my desk. Then come scrabbling, scampering and skittering sounds. I call the landlord, he sets a trap, we catch a mouse and that’s that. Until I see a mouse scurry across the kitchen floor about a week […]

wet felted Easter eggs
This weekend welcomes yet another celebration of overpriced sugar extravagances and goofy plastic decorations. That is to say, it’s another federal holiday. Apart from hitting up the post-Easter chocolate sales, I plan to spend some time hanging out with family and eating too much. I was also planning to do a bunch of Easter crafting […]

felt circle flowers
I just looked through all my recent posts and realized that the last 3 (not including the Scaled Wurm bonus post) have been about crafts done with felt. I’m beginning to appear obsessed. In the interest of continuing to be unbalanced, this week’s post is also about a felt craft, but I promise to post a […]
