There is a small part of our backyard that I want to turn into a native (california) meadow. It’s going to take a lot of planning and prep. First of all we have some scraggly lawn + weeds that needs to be killed off. Secondly, our soil is dead clay soil, so we need to [...]
I pretty sure I am close to a decision about quitting the craft fair circuit (as a vendor) and returning to sewing for just me and mine. It’s WAY more fun, fruitful and fulfilling (3 of the 4 good F’s). Projects that need doing: 3 new shirts for Jack with some recently purchased fabric. various [...]
So a while back while taking those silkscreen classes and I burned a screen that I thought would be used to make t-shirts that said, “thank you for not being perky” with a couple of stars scattered around. After burning and looking at the screen I envisioned it on a t-shirt more closely and realized [...]
Packaging squees me out sometimes. There is just so much of it, and much of it unnecessary. At the same time, great packaging can make your product, I see how it can be necessary for marketing and how some minimal packaging is completely necessary. Every time I buy something handmade that comes with super nice [...]
*Annoyed* I wrote up a bunch of notes on that previous silk screen post and it is GONE! I must have not hit publish? I went out and bought a couple of Dover clip art books. They are mostly royalty/copyright free images and they come in high res on CDs. Handy! That’s where I got [...]
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 [...]
I bought these at Sorelle Bacci in Florence. Those four are Liberty of London – two are lawns, one is a stretch cotton and the other is maybe a silk. The price was really good and I love these! Now, what to do with them? I’m thinking a skirt and maybe a nice short summer [...]
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 [...]
Five Auspicious Clouds Originally uploaded by not halfway there A while back I told KT that I would try to plan out a labyrinth for the ranch property. KT, MamaPajama and I scouted out a decent location near Kt’s house in progress. I’m not exactly sure what prompted me to want to do this. Labyrinths [...]
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 [...]
I hung out with baby all yesterday and he helped me not give a crap about all my old school papers. WHY do we carry that shit around with us for so long? Out of all my school sketch books I only ripped out like 20 pages worth keeping and even those were questionable. Written [...]
