Mending with…stickers?
Let's mend my jacket! I have had this down jacket since 2017. It's bright pink…I'm a fat person… Do you know how unusual it is to find winter stuff in cool colors as a fat person? I intend to keep this jacket in rotation as long as I possibly can. [...]
Pretty Colors
These look less and less like coffee filters as we go! We talked about cutting them into fancy shapes, now let's make them pretty colors. You can dye your filters with either alcohol inks or alcohol ink based markers. Both work, both look great, both are fun. If you want [...]
Petals
Ok so step one on the road from grocery store coffee filter to perfect paper flowers is 'make colorful circles of petals.' Part of that process is cutting them into shapes, and that's what we're talking about first. If you want to watch me make them and make some of [...]
Middle aged
I have reached the stage of middle age where I will absolutely, without even a hint of shame, pull over to the side of the road to look at someone else's trash furniture. And I mean really...can you blame me? Because sometimes you find this! Which, admittedly, this is the [...]
Supplies!
The paper flower book is coming out next week (Utter and Rampant Nonsense folks will get as part of their membership, it will be on payhip for anyone else)! I wanted to give you a supply list so you can have everything ready for when it comes out. Explanations first, [...]
Plans…
Plans are afoot...bacon-y plans. Because I suspect some of you want to make bacon, but maybe don't want to track down bacon-colored yarn and just the right wire to make perfectly crispy. And I suspect maybe some of you want those little scissors (oh I love them so much, [...]
Over Easy
Ok, I'm declaring the egg a success. I mean it will be more of a success once it's blocked, but that's fine. But I'm confident it will read as 'egg' and that it does not look so much like a boob as to offend anyone's delicate sensibilities. Now...what are the [...]
Eggy pudding
The egg continues, and continues to look more like an egg and less like a body part the further along it gets. Short rows can work a variety of wonders. That, and a carefully applied drawstring to do something clever to the yolk. Pretty sure this is going to be [...]
Put an egg on it
Everyone's first comment, upon seeing the bacon, was 'ooooooh, now do an egg.' Well no. Everyone's first comment was 'squeeeeeee, bacon!?!?!!!' But soon after that came the plaintive cries for an egg. And fine, who am I to resist. We can have an egg. Well, as long as I can [...]
The plan
Ok we're fixing the hat. Or at least we're trying! But before we do, let's gather some information. The hat that doesn't fit measures just a hair under 25 inches (measuring on the outside of the hat, right where the brim turns up to make the top part of the [...]
