I had no idea the color would be so vibrant! I’m guessing that’s what happens when you actually follow the instructions that comes with the dye . All of my previous experience with dye has been pretty much a matter of throwing the garments in a dye bucket, swirling it around now and then, […]

I love it when he rips his pants
Yep, another knee blown out, another skirt for me. Woo hoo! Neil came home from Capclave Sunday night with the news that he’d worn through the knee on another pair of pants. I’m sorry for his wardrobe’s loss, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t good news for my wardrobe. I know I […]

…that I had to go out and return a movie rental today (Evan Almighty – Clarke, Clarke & Clarke give it six thumbs up). Otherwise, I would probably have spent the day curled up somewhere cozy in my new lounge pants / pajama bottoms. And I dare say that it wouldn’t have been […]

’cause I’m kinda in the mood for a weekend. A crafty weekend. I know I left the “Evolution of a Color Scheme” posts hanging, but there is more to come. The next installment is already written, and I hope to get my hands on the clay for some color mixing within the next few days. […]

I dropped Eamonn off at preschool this morning and decided to take action and do something about my desperate hair situation. My bangs were down past the tip of my nose and I’ve been grousing for a month. I went someplace different than my usual, and on the way home I passed the Salvation Army […]

It’s swappin’ time, and there’s nothing like leaving it to the last minute, eh? You may recall me mentioning the Sweet & Sinister Swap? Well, the box is due to be mailed tomorrow. Want to see what I’m putting in the box to my partner, Ginny? I’ve had the BOO! banner for some time now […]

It seems that my favorite time of year has arrived. The house is filled with the quintessential smell of fall – fresh-baked pumpkin bread. If your house doesn’t smell like this today, why don’t you take my recipe and see if you can rectify that, hm? I welcomed autumn this morning with the very first […]

Please forgive the less-than-stellar photography on these – I plan to spend some time making them look pretty in pictures after I’ve drilled the holes and strung them on cords. I don’t know how long that will take and I didn’t want to wait to post these! So this first image is of the pendant […]

Having a great time. Wish you were here. Today we learned to construct Japanese inro pendants, and to decorate them with image transfers, stamps, pigment inks and the ever-important gold leaf. This is my pendant in-progress. It still needs the domed top to be added, and it could use some sanding/buffing. I’m impressed with how […]
