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 [...]

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 [...]
