A little while ago I was asked to make a Fblthp plush, and I happily agreed. Thankfully, the request came via email, so neither of us had to worry about saying the name out loud, though I did experience difficulty while actually making the plushie and trying to answer my fiancé’s question of “So, what [...]
lampshade from paper circles (and an upcycled atlas)
I have a special bonus post for you today – a picture post detailing the process of making a lampshade out of a bunch of paper circles! The reason: For almost two years now, our living room lamp has been hanging bare, like a warehouse light, in desperate need of a lampshade. I’ve been meaning [...]

felt appliqué projects: drawing with felt
I used to draw a lot. Like, a lot a lot. I filled several note books in high school, and just about every night when my homework was done you could find me either reading a book or drawing a picture. Now I don’t draw much, except to doodle craft ideas and draft patterns. Instead, [...]

wedding DIY – invitations & centerpieces
Remember how my boyfriend and I got engaged in December? And we were like, ok, we’re getting married in six months, let’s plan this wedding! Time went by, and in my head was this eternal concept that we were getting married in six months. Even though two months had passed since we got engaged. Finally, [...]

quick & easy photography backdrop
Between blogging about crafts and keeping up an Etsy store, I take a lot of photographs, and I want those photographs to look nice. Getting decent light is the biggest struggle, and I’ve added all kinds of extra lights to my windowless craft room to help with this. The second biggest struggle is background. I [...]

Hydralisk plush
Do you guys recall that Zergling doll I made a couple years ago? That was one of my first “uhhhh” commissions, as in “Uhhhh, sure I can make that into a plush. I think. Probably? Well let’s find out!” The commissioner (right word? Seems weird. Well her name wasn’t Gordon, but she did commission something cool) [...]

- Moral of the story is, avoid venues in Central Saanich. WISH WE'D KNOWN THIS IN FEBRUARY. Gah.
- Sounds like they're kind of hard-assed Puritan dicks & don't have a lot better to do, since not much happens in Central Saanich. >_<
- Learning more about our wedding liquor issues. Seems the problem is w/ Central Saanich police, who have different rules from everyone else.
