Merry almost Christmas! I’ve been crafting incessantly for the past three weeks, making gifts and getting ready for this, my favourite holiday. I’m frankly crafted out, and looking forward to simply watching people receive my creations for the next couple days. But of course the last step, after buying or making gifts, is to wrap […]

paper ornaments – it’s Magic!
My friends and I have been playing a lot of Magic over the last few months. For those who don’t know, it’s a highly addictive fantasy-world card game that encourages you to buy way too many bits of beautifully decorated, heavyweight paper. Ie: cards. Not only have we all been buying a lot of cards, […]

sewn paper garlands
Now that we’re well past Halloween, Thanksgiving and even the first days of December, I feel I can safely delve into the realm of Christmas decorations. Dante may not have mentioned it, but rest assured that there’s a special Hell for people who play Christmas carols in the malls before December first. Christmas is often […]

plush pig (inspired by Desert Bus 4)
Play Minecraft, watch Top Gear, get pig. This phrase became a meme during Desert Bus 4 this year, and pigs (sugared pigs in particular) were much in demand during the event. If you don’t know why, it’s probably not worth trying to figure out. It’s one of those “you had to be there” things, and […]

quick & easy piggy costume (a Desert Bus craft-along)
I have something a little different for you this week. First of all, it’s three days late, which is different. It’s also a video, completely unedited and with random people in costume wandering through the background. And I have no intention of apologizing for these things* because I spent all last week helping to organize […]

customize your pencils (while tuning in to Desert Bus for Hope)
It’s Friday, and we’re all waiting for 6pm PST, when the 4th annual Desert Bus for Hope begins. While you’re waiting, why not think back to a different age, when chunks of graphite embedded in bits of wood were used to note down thoughts, ideas, messages and more. An age when writing devices came in […]

Microsoft Windows earrings
When your boyfriend works as a professional videographer and writer of silly/funny web videos, you sometimes get interesting phone calls. Yesterday’s went something like: Me: Hello? B/f: Hey sweetie, listen, do you think when you get home tonight you could make a pair of earrings that look like the Windows logo? We need them for […]
