I always forget how LONG the days at Maker Faire seem when you are a vendor. VERY LONG. Ones eyes and nose start to hurt for some reason. Despite the long days I enjoyed Maker Faire again this year. Sunday morning I felt so sick I thought would die. A bit of food and a [...]
Things I could do today: – sweep the front porch – stress about our 5,000$ LESS than the other bidder bid on the house that is adorable, huge, has cute period details and a SECRET PASSAGE. – work on cleaning the craft room (endless project that will never be done because it has me totally [...]

Bazaar Bizarre was fun! I went over to the county fair building on Saturday to help with general set up (btw, it’s great fun to volunteer at this sort of thing) and, because I am weird like that, had a satisfying time setting up a million tables. I slacked a bit with my gigantic coffee [...]
I’ve been making spats and reading more crappy romance novels. Vim’s cat died and Jack has all his teeth (totally unrelated things). The black and white spats have pink silk lining and velvet buttons. The other one is authentic Burberry raincoat fabric and has cheerful cloud lining (one cloud in there has a cute silver [...]
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’m so busy that somehow I am not sure I am getting anything done?!! UGH! Today I have dentist appointment, I swear I have that guilty schoolgirl feeling that I’ll be scolded for my obvious disregard for dental hygiene. Plus, it’s a new dentist and I have to bring Mr. Pants with me. I loved [...]
I’ve not been napping, okay, except for 15 minutes today… I have also been making some spats. Fancier than my usual ones. I do so love picking fabrics, lining, buttons, etc. these are pretty fun to make with only stress surrounding the buttonholes. Sewing on shank buttons is a total bitch, it makes my wrists [...]
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 [...]
Y’all will look at this and be all like, “girl, why did this take you so fucking long”? And I’ll, be all like, “Dude, you do realize you are looking at the 50 trillionth version. Step off”! This is the pattern I use to make spats for my ankle boots. The split toe look is [...]
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 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 [...]
