So off and on this weekend, in between the sewing and seed starting and stuff, I found some time to update. It didn't help that the weather turned (AGAIN!) and so all my photos are weirdly lit, but perfect lighting or not, they're up, and that's better than perfect lighting.
The fun thing is that I managed to update with a lot of really different stuff, some of which I've been sitting on for too long due to just doing other stuff. So I've got some vintage crafting stuff, like this crazy-awesome lap loom, with all its parts AND an instruction book, that I happened upon fortuitously one day:
Matt made his first digital collage sheet for me, just a simple one-inch set of the international breastfeeding symbol images that we use to make pinbacks, so that other crafty people with button machines can make their own fundraisers for their own natural birthing advocacy organizations: 
I sold off all my other comic book pinbacks and doily pinbacks, so I FINALLY relisted a set of each: 
I have to make some more of the black doily pinbacks before I can relist those, but I'm still on this random rainbow kick, and so I'm also absurdly stoked by my rainbow doily pinbacks.
And finally, now that I've gotten my T-shirt smock pattern all worked out to my satisfaction I'm thinking of changing it into a T-shirt apron for my book proposal (more gender neutral, don't you think maybe?), which pattern I'd also need to work out (pushing the proposal mailing back just a few more days, squidge squidge), but anyway, now that it's all worked out and happy I can enjoy sewing up some crazy-awesome fangeek T-shirt dresses out of my crazy-awesome fangeek T-shirt stash: 
P.S. Check out my expose on a big company that ripped off an indie crafter over at Crafting a Green World.
what seeds did you start?
ReplyDeleteoh, and i really like the idea of aprons from the t-shirts.
The aprons from T-shirts are AWESOME!!! It sucks that I kind of have to keep them top-secret because they're in my book proposal. It think it's STOOPID, but whatev. We have to play the game, right?
ReplyDeleteI started such a crazy amount of seeds that I will inevitably end up weeping in despair and frustration, on account of my mind is greener than my thumb. Let's see...lavender, catnip, bachelor's buttons (Will's pick), tomato, tomatillo, poppy (freakin' small!), cayenne, asparagus, TWO kinds of gourd, melon--and that's not even counting the seeds that have to be directly sown.
BTW, have you seen my YARD? This will def end in tears.
