It occurs to me that if I’d taken all the time I’ve spent on small, bits-and-pieces Halloween-y costume pieces this year and put it together, I could have actually had time for making a proper, full on costume. But then I’d have had one costuming blog post instead of three. Plus I’ve discovered a brilliant [...]

Some crafts fulfill the need to dress up, to keep body parts warm, to decorate for a party, to de-uglify the living room curtains, to wrap presents in [...]

LRR scouts – an outdoorsy adventure in web video costuming
I was never in Girl Scouts or Girl Guides or (obviously) Boy Scouts or Cub Scouts or any of the various youthful North American scouting groups there are to be in. I know that Boy Scouts carry pocket knives (well so do I, thanks very much) and Girl Scouts sell cookies, and that the Girl [...]

homemade fezzes and a Doctor Who party

Assassin’s Creed 3 hood – this time it’s a full tutorial!

- I also saw a real, in-person skin graft for the first time ever yesterday. It was a special kind of day all round.
- I'm going to keep this strongly in mind today as I do laundry and wash dishes and cut out the same pattern piece 25 times.
- Yesterday I learned that I have a friend who is learning to make swords ad joining the circus. My life’s awesome factor definitely increased
