After posting about my last failed attempt at altering a fabric vintage photo, of course, I stewed about how to fix it, how to start again, what to do differently – that’s what I do sometimes when I’m staring at my computer at work. Some people day dream about exotic vacations, or what they’re reading, or what to make for…

As promised, and in a timely fashion I might add!, here’s a rundown of Unity Stamp’s Summer Kits of the Month. First up, June – ah, so long ago it seems. Love June’s kit.. If I had any quibble, the only thing it would be is that I don’t feel like that particular bird is a spring bird. That crow…

As you know, I’m a sucker for a sale. So, when Ivy Newport ran a super duper birthday sale (40% off!) on most of the classes on her website, I took advantage and purchased a class, Fabric in Time with mixed media artist Stephanie Rubiano. This was a class I camethisclose to purchasing at full price, but with Skillshare and…

I know, today is all about the eclipse, and here I am, inside blogging for the first time in two months. That’s what happens when you don’t get your NASA approved solar eclipse glasses – forced to finally blog. I’m just going to have to watch some shade from my window. Ah, now there’s some sun for you. Last week…

Ah, this time last week we were just arriving in sunny California for the E3 conference. Myself, I’m not a big gamer. I dabbled in a little World of Warcraft, but I got bored with that, and I’m just not coordinated enough to play shoot em up games. But, for my husband and stepson, going to E3, the video game…

Hello Wednesday! Is it really you! Good to see you, my time suck of a calendar day. Before the day goes poof, here’s a run down of the knit/crochet happenings since February – The Ambah MKAL As you may recall, my knit started out looking like this: But I hated the cartoony speckle, and ripped it out – then it…

My my my its been a long time – February! Here’s my tale of “woe.” I like to link up to the Yarn Along on Wednesday. And, for whatever reason, I kept missing Wednesday! I would be in the mood to post on a Monday or a Tuesday, but think, eh, that post would be so much better to link up with the…

Today is the last day of February, and therefore, the last day of InCoWriMo2017. I can’t claim a full victory, but I think I can do half a lap. I managed to get out 22 pieces of correspondence, 19 of which went in the mail, and three of which were hand delivered. I wrote to complete strangers through the InCoWriMo…

When you get sucked into the handlettering community, you naturally get pulled towards what’s cool and popular in graphic design. Watercolor, wreaths, banners – it’s all big, and it’s all on Skillshare. As I mentioned before, at 99 cents for three months, you can’t go wrong, and I’ve particularly enjoyed the following group of classes from The Pigeon Letters. First,…

And the Ambah Mystery is underway! Mystery knits are always a crapshoot, but I enjoy them nonetheless. This time around I’m joining in on Ambah‘s Hale-Bopp Mystery Knit-a-Long, some kind of a shawl, I guess with a comet theme. As you may recall, I bought yarn, fell in dislike with the yarn, returned the yarn, and settled on this yarn: The…
