Taking over the world, one project at a time.
I can never just do something simple, can I? I can’t just say, “Hey Steph, you have this Tabard pattern; why don’t you make it?”. Why the fuck would I want to do something like that? So instead, I’m going to use the pattern as a base, and make some modifications, and hopefully turn them … More Mage Robes
Have I been making things? Duh, of course I have.
Have I updated or documented any of it? NOOOPE. … More Backlog? I don’t know her.
I’ve actually had a pretty productive year. I’ve made TONS of masks (I think at last count I’d used over 80 yards of fabric for masks alone). I’ve written up a few tutorials, but they just didn’t seem important enough to post. I’ve sewn, baked, spun, cast, etched, drawn and who the hell knows what … More Selective motivation
It has long been said* that it takes about 10 000 hours to master a skill. *universal research term for ‘I was too lazy to look up the original source’. If that’s the case, I think after the past couple months I’m a grand-master at making face masks. I have been itching to change up … More 10 000 Hours.
I skipped a post one day this week, just because I’ve been busy. I’ve been too busy making things to bother showing things off, or writing tutorials. I’ve been up to my eyeballs making face-masks for various people, and donating the proceeds to my local food bank. I’ve made zucchini muffins, banana bread (which is … More Baking and Sewing and Whatever; Oh My.
This little sucker is good for a bunch of things. The one demoed here was specifically made to hold 8″ double pointed knitting needles. I plan on making longer ones to hold reusable metal straws, and shorter ones as coin purses and other stuff. Really, the only difference is how much you hack off at … More Snap-Shut Pouch
Now, I’m the kind of morbid jackass who has been playing Plague Inc. for years now (damn you, Madagascar!) and even without a mastermind such as myself actively evolving a virus, this shit is scary. And I’m tired of repeating to nimrods that every time you go out, even for essentials, you reset the 14 … More 10 Minute Face Mask
Some of the projects I want to show or teach require knowledge of a few basics, so I’ll be referencing this, or at least a better version of this, down the road. I will probably re-upload this with a voice over later, but I’m just really not feeling it this week. The weather is blah, … More Crochet Basics
When you really feel like making something gross to just smush around, and possibly to clean all of the gunk out of your keyboard, choose slime! I actually bit the bullet and made slime for a couple of reasons- firstly, I had some expired contact lens solution which conveniently contained both boric acid and sodium … More Stress Slime
OR how I learned to stop worrying and love being stuck at home for weeks on end. Who am I kidding? If I didn’t like cooking so much and I actually enjoy grocery shopping, I could probably be perfectly content just about never leaving the house. I have so many hobbies and things I like … More A Pleather Wristlet…
