Sometimes crafting ideas descend from the highest planes of inspiration and creativity, floating down through the heavens to alight on one’s mind with delicacy and grace. Sometimes they come from other places entirely. A coworker of mine shared this joke with us back in June, writing it on my boss’ white board. At first I […]

toilet paper tube dolls
A few weeks ago I wrote a post about old craft projects I rediscovered while moving, and one of those projects involved dolls and figures made out of empty toilet paper tubes. This follow-up post comes to you at the request of Jenn, to provide some details and ideas on just how to put one […]

plush baby Myr
Ah spring. That magical time of year when the air smells of poo from all the fertilizer the city dumps on public flower beds, and the trees send sneeze-inducing spores dancing on the wind.
