Man, Halloween this year was a whole week of festivities. Last week Jack and I carved pumpkins: We grew those cute little white pumpkins ourselves! I like the white with the contrast of the orange insides. Then I made Jack’s costume: I was a little nervous about it since he was being sort of bossy [...]
The backyard is pleasingly bursting forth with the harvest. Farmer Jack and I went out this morning and picked an assload (
Here are the two cape tutorials I have made for this years swap-o-rama-rama @ maker faire. wheee! I can’t wait!
I’m trying to decide where to plant the 2 little yarrow plants that i bought last weekend. I’ve got clay soil and that right there means that i haven’t got a place where yarrow will be super super happy. – flowers are good for drying and are nicely aromatic – has a bunch of medicinal [...]
Jack and I have been watching The Lord of the Rings movies. We are on the second disk of The Two Towers. I try to fast forward through the parts I think must be scary and he says, “mo0o0om, I’m not scared of this part!” and if I keep fast forwarding he cries. Finally I [...]
I had a craftastic weekend, starting on Thursday. I went to the Etsy craft Lab hosted by MOCFA and sponsored by Giant Robot and Britex Fabrics in downtown SF. This months was hosted outside in a little craft corral and there were two main activities: making a plush robot or make a fabric flower. We [...]
Every time I go to the new California Academy of Science I get grumpy. I miss the old one. A lot. I think the new building is very beautiful and the living roof is awesome. I understand the amazingness of many of the features of the new building and exhibits. But I gotta say, my [...]

It’s true you can get any fabric you desire on the internet but nothing beats going into a good fabric store so that you can paw all the fabrics, haul the bolts around, compare and get overwhelmed in person. (my R key is sticking and it is very annoying) I almost bought some of that [...]

Next weekend, November 2nd at the San Francisco County Fair Building (Hall of Flowers in Golden Gate Park) local crafters, toy and plush designers and other indie artists will be showcasing and selling their work. Oh, and there will also be some craft workshops at You [...]
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 [...]
I stopped by the East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse today to drop off some donations (read: lame old fabric). And I nearly passed out when I saw that they had, for 6 bucks a pound, super awesome silk tie fabric clearly I haven’t been in there for a looong time). If you’re a quilter [...]

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? [...]
Oh wait, I lied. I did take two pictures while sitting on my bed, here is one of them: Yesterday on my way home from the girls weekend at the ranch I stopped to get something to drink and when I got back in my car I realized that I had not looked in a [...]

Every once in a while i stop by the superhero journal to see how she is doing. Andrea makes lovely jewelry that she sells here, takes great pictures, seems very sweet and smart and has a super duper cute-ass little baby. Two of the posts on her front page really fit in with lots of [...]
I just went grocery shopping hungry. Always a shifty sort of thing to do as it could go well or it could end up in a free for all in which you get home with 40 pounds of meat and some peanut butter. Usually I want to go to the new whole fuds near my [...]
I have made these spats for a friend. Attributes are: exposed brass separating zipper, rubber heel guards, red flannel lining. Also, a huge glaring pattern mismatch. FUCK! As i was making them i just wasn’t thinking about because usually the spats i make are a solid color or a pattern that doesn’t really need to [...]
