And Hardware
After pockets comes the waistband. Which I failed utterly to photograph because I was having A Day and it just wasn't happening. But despite this failing on my part, the waistband exists. Including a wee clippy for car keys or whatever else might need attaching. And I continue to be [...]
It has pockets
Or rather, it has one pocket. For reasons totally reasonable reasons having to do with both me making this up as I go along and the way this is going to fit/be worn. But it is a really, truly, delightfully excellent pocket. A pocket I am proud of. A pocket [...]
Putting the pieces together
Ok, so day one (where day is defined as 'several hours, which is as long as I'm willing/able to spend on this project on any given day) was getting the pieces planned out and cut out. We did that last time. Day two was getting all the skirt body pieces [...]
A brief(ish) digression
I wish to make a skirt. Well, no, I wish to have a skirt. A very particular skirt. And in order to have the exact specific skirt I want, I will need to make it.So I have acquired several yards of lovely wool herringbone tweed. I have made a plan [...]
Watery
Don't worry, you can totally water your air plants! These are set up so that the plant part easily slides apart from the knit part. And once you've slid them apart (the way my brain wants to say 'once you've slidden them apart' certainly tells us something about how grammar [...]

I'm awaiting two more things from the printer (because I slipped and accidentally got us a little something extra...as [...]
Peached
Completely coincidentally and apropos of absolutely nothing at all...Peached is back. I first made these in the fall of 2019 when the (cough, first, cough) impeachment of everyone’s least favorite felon was underway, and I felt the need for something soft that I could squeeze. Or throw against a wall. [...]
Monthly Reminder
Remember how they promised there were exceptions for emergencies? They were lying. And people have died as a result. Go read (or listen to) this piece from ProPublica about Amber Nicole Thurman's completely unnecessary death. Bring tissues. Then go read this piece from Pregnancy Justice on how "the Dobbs decision [...]
Heart’s desire
Bat-tholomew informed me he really does require a hat. And who am I to deny him his heart's desire. Now, would someone like to explain to him about his ears and how they may complicate things?
