New thing! In graphic design school, we used a die cutter for a couple of projects, I was really into it, I checked craigslist juuuust in case and happened to find one used for less than half the price of a new one. So I impulsively bought it, started brainstorming what I could use itContinue reading “leethal Stencils! Four ways to use them…”

Quick project tutorial: Record yarn bowls!
If you follow me on instagram, you may remember my excitement when I hit upon this idea many months ago: (caption: Made a broken record into a yarn bowl!

Pendleton scrap blanket (and matching pillow)!
Awhile back, Susan blogged about a blanket she made with scraps from the Pendleton Woolen Mill Store, I thought it was fabulous, and Pete completely fell in love with it.

I made some dresses! These are infinity dresses, using this tutorial, made with recycled sheets!

For the first time ever, I’m going to Maker Faire this year! Aaaand, I’ll be doing a demo and speaking in a panel discussion!
