By now is everyone realizing the problem with using your own cloth grocery bags? That’s right, no steady stream of free small garbage bags for your bathroom/kids room trash bin. So now I have to go BUY my own garbage bags?! Fuck no. Unless the grocery store plans on giving me a small box of [...]
I’m posting over at indie crafts everyday and I have a really hard time not swearing and being a sarcastic ass most of the time. Crafts are cheerful and homey and fun you FUCKERS! get with it. Last night in the bath I had about 67 million crafty idea for the new year (kill me [...]
I was just making handkerchiefs because they were pretty, and I could, and I wanted to buy that outrageously expensive fabric. My sister bought one from me (actually one made from one of my old skirts…) and she said she loved it and used it all the time. I am now a convert. These things [...]
Have you ever cooked an onion and had it smell horrible and tinny? I have been making beef stroganoff since I was like 15 and one time when I was about 25 I made it and when I cooked the onion part the tinny smell happened and ruined the entire batch. and so I went [...]
It’s amazing how little you (and by you I mean me) can manage to get one in 3 hours. I’m still working on my dress in fits and starts a little here and there. Months ago I had a huge tearful saga about the sleeves. Who knew sleeves were such little bitches? I had made [...]
I’ve decided that I am too wishywashy to accept custom orders. Right now that is. I think in order to do so you have to lay out parameters and stick with them and you have to have a selection, on hand, of choices for the customer. It can’t just be all nebulous like the one [...]
It has been quite a week. Last time we sent out an update NIMBY still needed $17,000 to pay the $36,000 security deposit this week and cover the costs of moving. That number is now only $3,300.

I’ll be at the The Oakland DIY Holi-DIY Expo at the Stork Club in Oakland tomorrow night selling spats. I’m looking forward to being at least a little bit raunchy with some elves and having a few drinks and selling a few pairs of spats. I’m kind of not prepared for it as I slacked [...]
Lately I’ve been drinking Dark and Stormies: dark rum, lime juice, ginger beer, lime wedge, candied ginger slice. Someone told me about the Earl Greyhound, Earl grey infused vodka with grapefruit juice, which I am now dying to try. It’s not like I frequent fancy bars anymore and have the latest in drinks at my [...]
omfg i am so in love with these! Link from rabittooth via Make *dies laughing*
You suck with your stupid outrageously priced ‘priority mail’. Priority mail is a load of shit and is in no way worth a free box. go fuck yourself. I have taken 46 thousand free boxes from you and will now painstakingly turn them inside out just so that I can turn the tables and screw [...]
Bazaar Bizarre was fun! I went over to the county fair building on Saturday to help with general set up (btw, it’s great fun to volunteer at this sort of thing) and, because I am weird like that, had a satisfying time setting up a million tables. I slacked a bit with my gigantic coffee [...]
I’ve been making spats and reading more crappy romance novels. Vim’s cat died and Jack has all his teeth (totally unrelated things). The black and white spats have pink silk lining and velvet buttons. The other one is authentic Burberry raincoat fabric and has cheerful cloud lining (one cloud in there has a cute silver [...]
I have not forgotten about you. Srsly. I know you are old and gray by now and have forgotten you ever entered a crappy internet contest that some jerkwad put on her blog but REST ASSURED! I actually have crap for you and actually thought about and have actually been living with massive guilt that [...]
I posted recently about my unsatisfactory dentist experience and the saga continues. After a posting that post I waited a week or so and then finally remembered to put up my YELP review of the dentist. In it I stressed how mice and pleasant the staff was. It’s true, they were very nice. If they [...]
Thank you Fluevog, finally I can remember how to spell your name, also, for these cute boots: Aren’t those cute?! But fuck all, I wish I could wear knee high boots or at least mid calf boots. I KNOW I am not the only woman in the history of boot wearing to have fat calves [...]
I’m excited to say that I am the new editor for Indie Crafts over at Craft Gossip! So I’ll be posting daily on fun new indie craft products, companies, tutorials and the like. If you have a link to suggest, please do! I keep wanting to type GraftGossip… if there is any gossip on grafting [...]
I’ve been making cold press coffee for myself lately. It’s so good! It makes the perfect cup of smooth strong coffee and I like my coffee cold so… extra perfect. Before I go to bed I grind the beans coarsely and add them to the french press with cold water. I do not depress the [...]
This is not the first dress I have worked on. Mama Pajama gave me some hilarious Elvis in Space fabric like 4 years ago and I cut my fabric and even started sewing. Right in the middle, though, I moved and never picked the project up again and then I moved again and now there [...]
