Appalachian Dreamin’

My dudes, I am super busy these days. I picked up a Little Lady job, working with sewing machines, and it keeps me off the streets at night. The laundry produced by two incontinent boys and two pretty clean adults keeps me off the streets in the day time. And one day, one day, this […]

Made lately: just little things

It’s always just little things. I usually work on tiny easy knitting projects at night after the kids go to bed, while Iain and I watch television. They aren’t very taxing, complicated or big; on the plus side, they actually get finished.
But every now and then I can fit in some actual sewing machine time. […]

Acid autumn

I finished knitting myself a quick little neckwarmer the other week (I started it last winter). (This project should not have taken like eight months.)
The fun part about only dressing in solid colors (with the exception of an occasional plaid or stripe) is putting them together in eye-hurty ways.

Take THAT, gloomy skies! And THAT! POW!

Vintage sheet quilt

I started cutting blocks in February of 08, and here it is September of 09 and I’m just now quilting it. Isn’t that cute, how everything takes a hundred years.

Here’s what I wrote when I started:
I drew inspiration from the patchwork throw in Amy Butler’s In Stitches; from the summer throw quilt in Last Minute […]

Meep! It’s Supafab!

AT LAST.

I feel like I have been talking about Supafab for a hundred years. I feel like I have been working on it for even longer. And I feel like I have been thinking about it for at least three or four millennia. Now I finally get to officially share with you my latest project:

Supafab.

What I’ve been working on lately: Supafab

The last month I’ve been working on designing a few products for a friend of mine, who’s launching a new baby boutique soon. I gathered this assortment of wools and cottons and silks and made it up into a scarf and a pillow so you can see the color palette I’m working on. I just […]

How to make a Cereal Box Journal

I found this while researching recycled packaging. This looks so nice! And easy! And I’ve always wanted to buy a corner punch. This would be a nice reason.

Bookmarked lately

I finally installed a del.icio.us/Firefox plugin and while I was at it, figured I’d share some things I’ve bookmarked lately.

How Splityarn was re-branded

Photo by Splityarn.
Splityarn is one of the flickr users whose account I stalked last winter when I was getting all knitty again. Then my knitting obsession faded (as all my obsessions do: they wax and wane and wax again) and I did a massive contact purge and I fell out of that loop. (Knitting pun? […]

I like things, I get jokes

I started a(nother) Tumblelog. I had one before, in which I only followed the funny kooks from favrd, but I never had anything to contribute, so I killed it.
Then I started another one. I don’t know why. Stop asking me questions. Let’s go look at pretty pictures.

(Do you tumble? Tell me your handle and I’ll […]
