While roaming the internet last week, I found a site telling me that January 20th is Hat Day (along with being Cheese Day, Inaugeration Day and Penguin Awareness Day. January 21st is Squirrel Appreciation Day. Seriously.) I knew this must be true, since as we all know, the internet does not lie. It just… contradicts […]

plastic tub party hats
When enough champagne is imbibed, people become willing to put just about anything on their heads and pose for a picture.* Or so I’m hoping, since this week my mom and I made several silly, colourful party hats from old yogurt tubs. With New Year’s Eve happening tomorrow, I have a perfect opportunity to test […]

dressmaking without a pattern (cheat to win)
I have a problem with patterns. Clothing patterns specifically. And I blame the people who make said patterns for this.

bleaching designs onto t-shirts
When you were kids, your moms and science teachers all told you not to play with chemicals and other fun stuff, right? Today we’re going to play with chemicals and other fun stuff. Our lovely Seattle friends Thomas and Dikla visited last weekend, and Thomas wanted to try out the t-shirt bleaching technique he’d been […]
