OMG. Hooting narwhal. Originally uploaded by Minniekins Man, i love to silkscreen! It’s very fun, I think because I like to get dirty with paint and chemicals. What you see here is a tiny baby tank top with a blue narwhal saying HOOT. Narwhal is pronounced more like NARwall, not NARwhale. Just so you know. [...]
I sometimes take delight in dressing Mr. Pants funny. He’s pretty suave and can pull off plaids and stripes together, the crocs may have been a bit much though. Every evening Vim and I discuss Mr’ Pant’s day, telling each other the cute or horrid things he did. The horrid is pretty rare but sometimes [...]
I think I forgot to post my finished bicycle skirt. Here it is! A crappy picture of it anyway. It’s hard sometimes to take a good picture of yourself. It’s not that my camera doesn’t have a self timer but more about shot setup. I could have gone outside with the good camera and tripod [...]
I’m making a few sets of baby blankets for my aunt, the other set would be done by now but I am out of cream colored thread and stopping by the fabric store with a baby is sometimes too much of a pain. My scraps stash has reached epic proportions. It’s absurd, really. I need [...]
I put my shirt over my head and then put my arms though one by one. Vim puts both his arms in at once and then puts if over his head. That’s freakish, right? That means for a moment there both your arms are weirdly trapped. Mr. Pants is going to grow up confused and [...]
A couple of weeks ago I decided that I must make a Blurb book of Jack’s first and second year and all subsequent years so that he would have them when he grows up all nice and neat in a row and he could see what a happy fun handsome baby he was. And then [...]
You know you want this pile of laundry. Give me your address and I will mail ASAP. It’s all clean, I promise, some of it is even folded. My house turned into a massive disaster area at some point between 5:15 and 5:35 yesterday. It was right about when Mr. Pants used the fly swatter [...]
It’s sewing machine month at Sew, Mama, Sew!. I love my machine but am not so secretly lusting after a serger so I’m looking forward to seeing what people have to say about their sergers. What brand and model do you have? Bernina Activia 230 How long have you had it? 6 months or so [...]
There is so much craftiness going on that I have trouble remembering what’s when. —>>>><<<<—- Feria Urbana is this Saturday June 13 10am-3pm at Pizzaolio. I guess it’s happening the second Saturday of every month from May until October. fun! Plus you can get some delicious 10 dollar toast. Post about that coming up soon! [...]
Despite temperatures in the 40′s and cold cold cold rain I had a good time camping this weekend. It was fun to get cozy in front of the fire and to snuggle under blankets. Mr. Pants enjoyed the hell out of it not in small part because he got to hang out with his grandma [...]
Wordnik is pretty rad so far. It’s the creation of a bunch of people including Erin Mckean from a Dress a Day and it’s a cool online dictionary- “An ongoing project devoted to discovering all the words and everything about them” I added a note for “ickle” this morning, I’m not sure if this actually [...]
I had a great time at mMaker Faire and Bazaar Bizarre this year! I had two great booth bunnies and a couple of tiny booth gnomes to help me out and I sold almost all my spats. Only 7 left out of over 30 so I am excited about that. I saw tons of friends [...]
