I’m not a big fan of wedding favours, to be honest. On all these bridal sites they list ideas like commemorative keychains and magnets with the happy couple’s names and image emblazoned upon them like some bizarre “I was there” wedding tourist trophy. Plus getting all that stuff manufactured somewhere is going to be some [...]

Star Trek combadge earrings (or pin)
I had a wonderful childhood, full of many great adventures and privileges. Yet in one way I found I was deprived: I missed out on most of the world of 80s and 90s TV programming. We didn’t have cable, and my parents weren’t down with a lot of TV watching (this was before my mom [...]

comics, jointed paper dolls and movie mockery
On last week’s Strip Search (a reality TV series about webcomics), the elimination comic challenge required the artists to make use of the themes “mystery” and “naughty.” I decided to try the challenge at home with jointed paper dolls. Long before I ever had sex myself, I saw it in movies and read about it in books. In [...]

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 [...]

You know that saying about April showers? Well it’s very accurate in my part of the world, at least insofar as there are a lot of April showers. They do bring May flowers too, but that’s a little beside the point since in Victoria we’ve had flowers popping up since sometime in February. So I’ve [...]

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, [...]

scrap paper garlands
It’s birthday month! I recently discovered via graphs and official information gathering (someone else’s) that this isn’t actually true, but it always seems to me as if there are more birthdays in March than practically any other month. So yeah, apparently not true, but I’m still sticking with calling it birthday month. It’s my birthday month, [...]

- 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.
