Using my Stash
Instead of just hoarding my pretties, I’ve finally decided to make some things with them. Today I made some pendants using my vintage beads and buttons. Here’s the group shot: And here are some different angles of each one:

I’ve Made a Post Like This Before
Wow, it’s been months and I have a whole list of excuses as to why I haven’t posted. I could list them off for you but the main one was that I really wanted to focus on a complete site redo and well, you can tell that didn’t happen. Time passed, life happened and that [...]

I’m sure that I picked up this phrase from some movie or television show, but to me “Dorking Out” is when you get childishly excited over something that to the normal person is silly or stupid. For Christmas, my Mom (who totally understands what makes me dork out) bought me an origami kit that makes [...]

Dutch Russian
Over the weekend, I caught a nasty cold. Lucky for me, I was off all weekend so I parked my butt on the couch, watched some movies and stitched. And then I stitched some more. And then I kept on stitching. My favorite cloth to stitch on is a piece of an Aunt Martha pillowcase. [...]

Embroidery on the Go!
I believe that knitting is probably the number one portable craft, but my protable craft of choice is embroidery. It’s probably not that most intelligent choice, you need lots of sharp things like tiny needles and tiny scissors, but I have a small case that carries everything I need.
