a field of Pineapple Maki plushies

A while ago I shared what it was like to construct 65 very fuzzy, very orange Kobold plushies. This week, I’m going to take you behind the scenes of some of the creation of 50 very cool, very sunglasses-wearing Pineapple Maki plushies. What fuzz levels did this project create? How many felt shapes did I […]

dice bags of many designs

A couple of years ago I started making dice bags here and there, for fun and for sale and for gifting. I’d make them out of various scraps of cool fabric I had around, or appliqué images onto them that suited the people I was giving them to. At the end of this post, I’ve […]

galaxy paper… and Doctor Who cupcake liners

Because why not do everything in one summer? This was an occasion we felt needed to be adequately marked with celebration. My father-in-law and […]

R2D2 dress and hat

  I made another dress! I’m sure you’re all shocked. Every PAX I find myself scrambling with some awesome project that I only thought of at the last minute but am desperate to have done in time. This year it was all those felt pins I posted about the other day, and an R2D2 outfit. […]
