so you know how sometimes you just buy a fabric that’s cute but you have no real plans for it. and then, you know how you start making one particular thing and then you are on the hunt for fabrics for that thing but then you get bored of making that thing but still have [...]
I’m so sorry I don’t feel comfortable in you. You were a stranger for 9 months, doing good work mind you, but still an unpredictable stranger. And now clothes don’t fit you, you move differently, you look different and you feel slow and heavy and weak. I feel guilty for not loving you right now [...]

After Jack was born Vim and I made him a mobile out of paper for over his crib and I can’t remember if I ever blogged it. materials needed: string, tape, piano wire, construction paper, scissors Of course we probably could have been a bit neater with the whole string and tape thing… but Vim [...]
Was really weird. Right before I woke up it got extra weird. I was lying on the floor of the dining room at my parents old house and it was empty of all furniture. I was writhing around holding a box made of wood and metal kind of like a treasure chest might be and [...]
Hola! Oh, I’ve been all kinds of crafty lately but busy with other stuff, too. Like wallowing in my gore and such other healthy activities. I have the Christmas crafting season of 2007 to thank for stumbling across the cake in a jar concept on Angry Chicken and Super Eggplant. Thanks! It’s a fucking cake [...]
Ah Texas. How I am so glad I don’t live in you any more. Here’s molly ivans talking about texas sex laws: I worked in a sex shop in austin and had a lot of fun selling “educational models of the penis” to cute dykes, old men and 18 year old sorority girls. And THANK [...]
I’ve been sewing little zippered pouches lately. The first one I did I got VERY confused and I dreamed about it. I think I often have trouble with spatial relations. The next day I trundled down to RC to ask mamapajama but I figured it out without having to ask her. She did suggest that [...]
solar panel! LEDs! Originally uploaded by not halfway there Yesterday I got myself all het up thinking about how I will REFUSE to be FORCED to freaking make valentines and other holiday shit for Jack’s classmates. And how annoying it is to have all this annoying holiday crap shoved down my throat all the time [...]
This cassette tape purse is cute but I need to know what album it’s made out of! If you could incorporate the cassette cover into it somehow that would be good and you could do silly mash-ups as well. like an aerosmith and billy holiday cassette purse would do me some good about now. This [...]
The white elephant pre-sale was a few weeks ago and was totally overwhelming. It always is. One needs to brings a personal sherpa in order to fully extract the maximum amount of goodness. Next year, or maybe this march, I have a new strategy. Get there EARLY. Park close. Return to car with first load [...]
slutty?! out of style?!?! say it ain’t so! Originally uploaded by not halfway there Come on. If you saw this skirt at a resale shop you would be ALL OVER IT. WHORE. It’s a great skirt but right now it fits over one of my thighs. And while I don’t want this to seem like [...]
I’ve been stressed lately with the thought of all my STUFF. I love stuff. It makes me feel cozy and at home. But I also know that I have TOO MUCH stuff. And that I might rely on stuff a little too much. I’m used to my stuff collection habits but would like to change [...]

If it’s on I can haz cheezburger then it must be real. Behold this lovely CAT finger mustache. (ignore lame princess bride reference) moar [...]
It’s upon me again. This time I’ve secured approval from the husband unit to launch the 3 year plan to acquire a container house. You know… a house made out of shipping containers. La! So, here’s the thing… I know that in europe there are several container housing unit things – way over designed and [...]
