Does anyone else occasionally feel like they are spending more time organizing their craft room than actually doing any creative work in there? I swear that is the stage I have been in for months. I think I was just so busy and stressed about CCE planning that there were no creative juices flowing and [...]
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 mentioned on a previous screamything post that I was entering a slight manic phase. I’m not sure that’s exactly true but I have 3 brazillion projects right now. I was in Peidmont Fabrics the other day when my hand reached out for this gorgeous Liberty of London cotton lawn print. I mean look at [...]
Madness, I tell you.I’m sitting here doing like 45 things at once. Emailing, researching for interviews, thinking about fabric, worrying that I should go home (i’m in a cafe), and thinking about all my millions of projects. It’s suddenly all about layering. In fact one of the projects I would LIKE to be doing soonish [...]
Oh Hai! I’m flakey! The winners are Jen of Volatile Gas World and Maggie of ‘Stop! Take some time to think…’. I’ll email to get your addresses. Now, Jen I certainly have some good ideas of what to send but Maggie I don’t know at all. So I will have to go read her archives [...]
The explosion in the past few years of the craft and DIY space has been amazing to watch. People can craft in their spare time and then use the internet to reach a broad audience of like minded people. Consumers want unique items that really meet their needs in a way that mass produced things [...]
Hey! So, I’m interviewing all the vendors for the upcoming You Bazaar in SF. My first one is with Hae Eun Park of Planet Tokki. The fair is November 2nd at the San Francisco County Fair Building in Golden Gate Park and is focusing on hand made Plush Art. Here is the description from the [...]
surprise gift in the mail!! Originally uploaded by not halfway there I got the best package in the mail form bebellyboo last week. Check it out: Chocolate cookies, book for Jack, toy for jack (i’ve been wanting one of these but never managed to buy one), 2 awesome fun fabrics (mermaids! fashion girls!), and some [...]
I purchased the wonder jacket pattern quite a while ago and have finally tried it out. MAN. It is CUTE. and EASY. and FAST. I really like how each size has it’s own pattern paper. I would have been seriously annoyed it I had to use chalk to size it. This one is size 2. [...]
I’m all excitedly looking through my clothes to decide what to wear to Blogher. Not that it matters AT ALL. And yet… it’s not like I will be having anywhere exciting to go (sans baby) in who knows how long. So why not dress this bitch up, yo? This is primarily a social conference, eh? [...]
As I type this Vim is sitting next to me sewing a baby ‘wife beater’ undershirt for Jack. I’m all having a fit because I don’t want to use the term ‘wife beater’. I mean wtf? But what can I say? muscle shirt is not th same thing. sleeveless white ribbed under shirt? UGH! Anyway. [...]
I bought a new machine. I had a price range at first and I looked at all the machines in that range. I am incapable of staying in my price range. Not only do any and all sales techniques work on me but I secretly covet the fanciest thing in the room. In this case [...]
Yep. Something is rotten int he state of my sewing machines motor. It whirrs slowly and sluggishly and then casually, groaning, moves the needle up and down as if through molasses. Well, CRAP! I guess I’ll have to go out and purchase a new machine. This fills me with dread. Also, glee. I went to [...]
I rolled a 20 sided die to get the winner and Badger won. But since she’s my sister I decided to disqualify her! I’m a bitch that way! The next roll revealed Davee as the winner! woot! I shall be emailing him to get his address since he sneakily moved to another city with out [...]
Like a YEAR ago I read something on someone’s blog that has been disturbing me ever since. She was making a distinction between Homemade VS Handmade work. Now, normally I would consider this distinction to be about whether or not one used ONLY ones hands to produce an item or whether one used a machine [...]
When I was in Houston my mom gave me a purse that is now my favorite purse even tho it HAS A BELT. why the fucking purse belt? does it have ass cheeks in danger of suddenly hanging out?! I plan on unstitching that belt and then reveling in the soft buttery redness of that [...]
This might be blasphemy coming form an avid crafter… but I’m just not that in to Craftster. I kind of don’t get it. Maybe I’m too old? Doing it wrong? I’m not averse to going back in there and poking around. It might be that I hate forums. I hate sorting through peoples responses. I [...]
