The apartment war continues, my friends. This week, those white walls get dealt with. Dedicated readers may remember my horror over the endless stretch of blank white living room wall when we moved into this apartment back in June. A Great White expanse, sterile and soul-sucking, and – since we’re renters, not owners – taunting my inability […]
bug-eyed fleece monster hats
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 […]

banana birds – blanket stitching & inside-out seams
Sunday afternoons should look like this: a glass of red wine, a relaxing craft project and dinner in the slow cooker, steaming up the windows and making the neighbours drool at the smell winding through the building.

derpy penguin bags (and why James Joyce is hazardous to your health)
It’s been one of those weeks. It’s been the week, really – the week that vacation is over and it’s back to work and school and no more obeying those natural body rhythms that keep you in bed till noon. It’s a cruel world. We got back from our vacation last Monday morning and I had a […]

my favourite tutorials of 2011
I’ve seen several people doing year-end wrap up posts today with their Top [instert number here] Projects/Blog Posts/Reminiscences of 2011, and I thought I’d finish out the year in style by copycatting them. I hear cats are popular on teh internets these days. I was going to choose my five favourite posts, but I just […]

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 […]

paper pillow boxes
Tomorrow is Christmas – it’s practically here! Well, the day after tomorrow. But in my family we hold to our German heritage and open presents on Christmas Eve, so it really does feel like tomorrow is Christmas. Which means that we’re all busily dodging my mother as she yells for one of us to do […]
