My husband and I hunting for a new apartment right now, so it seemed like every time I sat down to write this week’s blog post, I was called away by one apartment viewing or another, and just kept on not getting the tutorial finished. But despite the fact that it’s 2 days late being […]

Pacman paper beads
The following thought process frequently takes place inside my head: Ooh, that thing is really neat. I wonder if I could make something like that.

googly eye earrings
The first I myself saw of it was from Amanda the Great, who started sticking them amusingly onto Magic the Gathering playing cards for her Tumblr, Magic Cards With Googly Eyes. Shortly after that, while cruising the internet for craft ideas and such, I encountered several blogs and online groups devoted to eyebombing. Then I […]

needle felted eyeballs
My eye doctor (wanting me to see the benefit of glasses despite only needing a corrective lens for one eye) always used to tell me that “two eyes are better than one.” Well Dr. Pohl, I was listening. And if two eyes are better than one, than three, four, five or six eyes must surely […]
