It has been many moons since I last posted. About 4 if we’re counting. It’s not that nothing has been happening. Rather the opposite — too much has been happening! I haven’t had time to breathe let alone sit down and post. But hopefully (fingers crossed!) things should be calming down at least a little…
DetailsI fixed my issues. Lunarpages wasn’t much help in this case, but fortunately my debugging skills are strong 🙂 As it turns out, it had nothing to do with the upgrade to WordPress 3.3.1. At the same time as the upgrade, I had been fiddling with some other settings that had tried to install some…
DetailsWe are having some issues with our wordpress upgrade and will have them sorted out shortly. But that’s why there aren’t any images at the moment. Hopefully Lunarpages will get back to me soon to help me diagnose the problem.
Last weekend I finished up a 3-Saturday hat making class with Wayne Wichern. Wayne is an awesome guy and I learned so much in this class. Mostly I learned that millinery aka hat making is far more work than I originally thought and far more hand sewing that I originally thought. There’s more than I…
DetailsFor this past Hanukkah, my husband and I were trying to stay in budget. He had mentioned wanting some casual cuff links so rather than buying some, I decided to make him some for around $5 (the resin was actually about $10 but I only used a little of it so amortized it’s about $5).…

DetailsA while back I showed how to make a great earring holder built out of a picture frame. Well, since making that, I’ve moved all my costumes and costume jewelry to another room (namely my art room) which doesn’t have an appropriate place on the wall to hang an earring holder. However, there is space…
DetailsWhile I was at my parents’ place over the holidays, I wanted to do something crafty. I had bookmarked Tasha of Creation Corner‘s post on a Pointed Flower Tutorial and it seemed like the perfect quick and easy craft. My dad and I had just gone to the New Year’s Day fabric sale where I…
DetailsIt’s been ages since I posted. With the holidays and an upcoming dance competition, I’ve just been swamped and barely have a moment at my computer when I’m home. But I’m currently injured so on the upside it means I have time to catch up on some of my posting. My little brother came to…

As you saw earlier, I made a witch costume for my pup. It was loosely based off of Butterick 4885. Basically I used the pattern for the base. I shortened the length and added the skirt which was just two layered ruffles. I also added a ruffle at the neckline instead of the collar. Finally,…
