PAX starts tomorrow and my wardrobe is READY. The readiness of many other aspects of my PAX attendance is a little questionable still, but my clothing choices have been made (and then that chosen clothing made, b/c I imagined it rather than actually finding it in a store) & scheduled & I am ready! I […]

Piranha Plant basket
In a season already focused on the themes of resurrection and giant rabbits that hide chocolate everywhere, how weird is it really to make a basket with teeth? I say not all that weird. Whether for your Easter chocolates or to hold yarn supplies, make yourself a stylish Piranha Plant basket. Maybe all those teeth […]

paper Piranha Plant flowers
Valentine’s Day – that saccharine celebration of specifically defined romance – is approaching! I’m always trying to think of something new and a little different to post for this holiday. Last year it was a paper Fire Flower bouquet, for those who are feeling done with roses. This year I offer another Mario tribute, reimagined […]

how a Piranha Plant is “grown”

Child’s Play charity dinner dress and Piranha Plant bouquet
In just under an hour I’ll be headed to the Child’s Play Charity annual dinner, a fancy-dress event that my friends and I go to every year. It’s become a tradition of mine that every year for this dinner, I make my own dress. And it’s also a personal tradition that every year I swear […]

Desert Bus 6 Craft-Along!
So, I’ve been a little busy. Just a wee bit. There’s this thing called Desert Bus for Hope – it’s an online fundraiser that runs 24/7 for a week, and me and some pals have been doing a bit of work preparing for it. Y’know, just a bit. And when I say a bit, I […]
