The following is a parody of Macklemore’s song “Thrift Shop.” I wrote the parody version for kicks a few weeks back, and then performed it at Desert Bus for Hope 8 (a massive annual online charity event I help organize and run). You can watch that performance here. Good grief I was so nervous – […]

I get commissions for all kinds of different things and all kinds of different reasons. Things from “My boyfriend loves this character” to “I’d like to give her a custom plush of her forum avatar” and “The baby needs a sun hat for summer anyway, why not have an awesome R2D2 one” have all come […]

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 […]

So last week’s blog post just… never happened. I did manage to move ahead on a bunch of commission work, plus drink too much with friends and get through a couple Mass Effect missions, so I consider the week (and the long weekend in particular) a success. But I fell behind on tutorial-writing. I’ve also […]

Desert Bus for Hope 5 – how to lose a week of sleep in the best way possible
There will be no tutorial this week, as I have been helping to run a 24-hour a day marathon fundraiser since 6pm on Friday, Nov. 18, and crafting has, this very once, taken a back seat. I would, however, like to take a moment to reflect on the week. Desert Bus is without a doubt […]
