I’ve spent the past month crocheting a blanket for my sisters birthday present. It was her birthday at the start of the month…. oops. I felt so bad about not giving her present to her on time that I had to keep making it bigger and bigger. Which meant it took longer to finish before [...]
Rarely do I come across something so very awesome. I mean, much of what’s in my “Things that are AWESOME” series is awesome, but this must be the most awesome-est of all. A daft punk helmet made from scratch. Made by Harrison Krix. It took seventeen months to build, with lots of prototyping and experimentation. [...]
Ok, so the blogosphere was collectively squealing itself over this video weeks ago, so I’m surprised (and a little disappointed) if you haven’t already seen this. Watch it now to redeem yourself. I not only love the sheer genius and planning of the video, but the use of all the stuff they smashed / splattered [...]
The single crochet stitch keeps vacating my mind. I have to keep watching videos of how to do it to remind myself of it, even though it’s really simple. And I hadn’t crocheted in YONKS so I decided to make myself a little arm cuff sweat band thingy. With big buttons. Buttons are good. I [...]
One of the most annoying things about the lilypad is prototyping with it. Every time you move from one prototype or project to another, you have to rip it out and sew it back in. It can get rather frustrating, especially when the frayed conductive thread decides to go all over you projects creating tiny [...]
I have been grannying it up as of late, making loads of granny squares to make my first granny square blanket, just in time for summer when I wont need one. But I don’t care because it’ll still be awesome. I’m quite enjoying crochet so far, it grows a lot quicker than knitting, which is [...]
I’ve decided to start compiling little lists of things I come across on etsy that make me think “Ohh That’s Cool”. Not quite in the same vein as “Things that are AWESOME“, these little lists will basically be things I would buy, if I had the moolah. Fleece Emoticon Cat Head Pillow by Mishima I [...]
I had aimed to get another three items into my shop by today, and it hasn’t happened. Due to me feeling majorly icky pants this week and busy slightly busy with other things. I have two (ish) projects in the making, including this little brooch below. The reason for the “ish”, is that the other [...]
My desk is currently a mess of netting, conductive thread, felt and paper. I’m making more stock for my Etsy shop, which will hopefully go on sale next week. If people buy things I get to eat. Or buy conductive thread. Whatever I deem most important at that moment in time. Whilst I am making [...]
What do you do when you have a load of left over chocolate, and there are more people to give presents to? Make rocky road! I keep making it. I’m becoming rather popular for it. I cheated a bit though, I used a Greens Rocky Road pack, then dribbled the left over dark and white [...]
