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 [...]
I have all this barely contained rage lately. Every time I look at my kitchen, or my bathroom, or my craft room or the living room. My gut tightens up and heaves a little bit. I SO AGGRAVATED. Everything is messy. We have too much stuff. There are crackers on the floor and 4700 tiny [...]
I feel like our bathroom remodel went horribly wrong. We have less storage than we did and it’s like… fucking shabby chic/country kitchen in there. wtf? Vim did an excellent job on the paint. I like it. Somewhere along the way I started to get in a snit about spending money on cabinets, so instead [...]
Summer fast aproacheth. I foresee several factors to my summer this year. One, I have an almost toddler, two, I get hot when it’s like 65 degrees out and finally, I only have two pairs of pants that fit me but about a million skirts and dress that do. You can imagine that if only [...]

Mamapajama informed me that people make a whole piece of clothing out of muslin before they make it out of the actual fabric to make sure it fits right and stuff. “MADNESS”, I said.. However, I decided to do just that in order to make some steampunk inspired spats for Whump. I’ve never amde ones [...]
I’ve got a bug up my ass about learning cross stitch, it must happen now. I need to do a fuckity fuck fuck cross stitch immediately. I have purchased a starter pack of threads and researched some free patterns. I’ll be using these cute titmice birds and this alphabet. I like trying new crafty things [...]
I started working on my spats pattern this week. For now I am creating it in illustrator. I can save it as a pdf and give it to people, that way, they can print it out at whatever size they need it to be. Tthat seems better than making it like a normal printed pattern [...]
Here is a sample of my chicken fabric. yesterday I went to pilot’s house for a first fitting of my chicken dress.. it was just the bodice done in scrap fabric. I did not know people did I this way but it seems super smart. Pilot was very focused and professional and clearly knows what [...]
