Timed it
Ok so I timed it. Because someone always wants to know how long they take to make. And the answer seems to be somewhere between half an hour and an hour (mostly depending on how complicated the folds are and whether I've enlisted the services of a helpful kitten [...]
Let’s not wait
So it's not just the books that are back, it's a bunch of the tiny things too. And yeah, yeah some day I'd love to get several of these back out and generally available. Because they really are rather spiffy! (Is it wrong I love that apple so much? And [...]
Pinky swear
Ok, lemme give you the quick run down on how these work. Because I super duper pinky swear they are easier than they look! You start by cutting 8 pieces of the nifty paper. It's called glassine paper or kite paper. It's translucent and rather like that crinkly waxed paper [...]
Ink on paper
The retired patterns are back for a few days, and that includes the books! So, some of you are new here and may not know that I used to do books. Actual printed paper books. The kind that sit on your shelf and make you feel like you Did The [...]
Stained glass and what now
I swear they look like some magical cross between stained glass and hat crowns. And yes, I have totally toyed with the idea of making a hat to match at least one of them. The tricky bit is that you'd need Rather A Lot Of Stitches to get that much [...]

Exact correct amount
I am having too much fun. Or, alternately, the exact correct amount of fun. Because really, if you can bring yourself an hour of enjoyable making (as you fold them up) and then weeks and weeks of ongoing delight (as they hang in your window and make those 4pm sunsets [...]
They’re coming back
The retired patterns come back twice a year, and they're coming back next week! I wanted to give everyone a heads up, because I know some of you are planners, and everyone is busy! Last year I retired most of my earlier patterns (because maintaining a massive back catalog required [...]
Proclivities
Remember how I said I found better paper? I totally wasn't kidding. Check this out! Gorgeous right? Not only is it nicer colors (and more of them), you can also find it with this glorious gradient that does amazing things when folded up. The only trick is you have to [...]
Smokey
I believe this may be the single most perfect marshmallow toasting I have ever achieved. Lightly golden brown, molten all the way through. This is also pretty much the exact moment when I learned that the teeny tiny fuzzy bits of yarn that stick out of floofy yarn to make [...]
