Monthly Reminder
What's your plan to vote? I picked up my ballot from the town office earlier this month and dropped it off a few days later. (Did you know once you vote, most of the text messages and mailers stop? Think of it as a bonus treat for voting early!) Have [...]
Would that I were
Were I a cooler person, I'd have prattled more about these sooner. Alas I am not, so I'm leaving it till far later than I should. Though really, both the bat (Fangs) and the hat (Ensorcellment) take at most an hour or two. So should you be so inclined, you [...]
Cheerleading
This year's star book is just about ready to come out! While we wait, I wanted to show off some of the fun stuff we did with the first star book. Last time was the lovely little coloring book. Today is a bit of cheerleading and handholding, just in case you're [...]
Scribbling

Fetching

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 [...]
