Food Friday: Black and White Cookies

Food, RecipesBy PigletJanuary 21, 20112 Comments

My friend Coco loves Black and White Cookies (aka the interracial cookie). Recently (okay, it was like months ago, but that’s my how my timeline is) she came back from New York raving about them and how she can’t get them here. So I told her I would make her some. I’m going to give…

Silhouette Sunday: Laptop Decals

SilhouetteBy PigletJanuary 16, 20113 Comments

My husband and I both have identical computers (yes, they’re CR-48s, the cool ChromeOS machine from Google). So in order to tell them apart, I made some slick vinyl decals for them. Hubby wanted the Incognito man and I decided just to go with a simple flower. I created the Incognito man graphic myself and…

Food Friday: Kale Chips

Cooking, Dog, RecipesBy PigletJanuary 14, 2011Leave a comment

I found out about kale chips from Diana at The Chic Life. The first time she posted about them as a side dish and when she came to visit San Francisco, I asked her for the recipe. She gave me the basics: spritz some olive oil, salt and pepper and bake til crispy. Since then…

Silhouette Sunday: Thank You Note with Envelope

SilhouetteBy PigletJanuary 9, 20111 Comment

I needed to send a thank you note to someone at work for a Secret Santa gift, and I thought, why not make the note myself on my Silhouette? I’d been wanting to try this sort of card where the letters stick out from the main area. I designed both the card and envelope myself…

Food Friday: Asian Noodle Soup

CookingBy PigletJanuary 7, 20112 Comments

Just wanted to share this Asian noodle soup I made the other day. Had rice noodles and shrimp in it. It looks pretty. And it came out okay. But just okay. Given the effort it took to make it chopping things, I probably won’t make it again.

Retro Hannukah Apron (aka Simplicity 2592)

SewingBy PigletJanuary 5, 20111 Comment

I finally got around to writing a review of my apron from Hannukah (see the original post along with Minnie’s matching outfit). The gist of it is that this is a pretty good pattern, but next time I’d do all the layers out of the same fabric. The changes I made were: 1. Do a…

Dance top (aka Simplicity 3832)

SewingBy PigletJanuary 3, 20112 Comments

Over one of these winter weekends, I had some free time and decided to go through my UFO (unfinished objects) pile. One of the items was this turquoise blue top. I had it all cut out with the pattern still pinned to the fabric. Just hadn’t had time to sew it. So I pulled out…

Remember that 3/4 circle skirt I was working on fo Remember that 3/4 circle skirt I was working on for my @canadafashiondept class in the last post? Well, it's taken me a bit longer than expected to work out the details of the flounces.

I realized after drafting the flounce at the proposed 2" that it was not the level of drama I was hoping for. So I drafted 2 more at 3" and 4" with the same size center length. I cut them all out of fabric and you can see how different they look in the first photo, both horizontally and hanging vertically as they will be on the skirt.

Next I pinned them to the skirt to see which I liked best 2nd photo). Well, I liked them all. So the next step was to make flounces that went from 2"->3" and 3"->4". I drafted one and it was pretty time intensive. At this point I realized I could just do this with the power of math and tiled printing on my computer (yeah, you think I would have realized this sooner). So I did. The third photo is validating my computer drafted one with my hand drafted one.

Since I decided I liked the 4" flounce at the bottom, I have a couple of adjustments to make to my skirt pattern, but then I will finally have all the pieces drafted and can start sewing.

I have finished knitting a sweater! My first finis I have finished knitting a sweater! My first finished long sleeved knit sweater! This is the Cozy Classic Raglan by @jessssiemae. I did it as part of a class with @uncommonthreadsyarn. The yarn is @thefibrecompany Luma. It's really nice yarn, although I'm probably gonna do it in cotton next time so I don't need to wear an undershirt because wool. Great pattern and I love how it turned out! More pics on my blog.

Drafting a 3/4 wrap circle skirt from scratch for Drafting a 3/4 wrap circle skirt from scratch for my @canadafashiondept flat pattern class. This was a full body experience as getting a piece of paper big enough required crawling and taping on the floor. 😅 Yes there's still more to do and a flounce as well. At least the surplice bodice is done.

The projects I made during @siliconvalleymqg virtu The projects I made during @siliconvalleymqg virtual retreat! The oven mitts from yesterday's reels. A cute pin cushion. And of course worked on a number of quilts.

As mentioned in the reel descriptions, for the mitts I used the free @gertie18 pattern available on the Charm Patterns website. Bread fabric is from @spoonflower and the design is by @claudiecb.

The needle organizer pin cushion was provided to us, so I'm not sure where that came from exactly.

The blue and gold quilt is the fig leaf pattern by @tigheflanagan that I was wrapping up from his recent workshop with @siliconvalleymqg

This is the latest pattern from @patternemporium_k This is the latest pattern from @patternemporium_kate -- the Take The Chance shirt dress. Life got in the way so it took me a bit longer to get this post up than usual. The full deets are on my blog but the gist is that it's another winner. While I'm sure we can agree that it looks great with or without a belt, I'd always style it with my doggos if I could 😄

Reward Day 31 of #castleintheairstudio #inktober Reward

Day 31 of #castleintheairstudio #inktober Thanks to @draw.with.michelle for the trophy tutorial.

Truly the reward has been how much I've learned from all the procreate tutorials I've done this month! I set out to use inktober as motivation for getting more comfortable with procreate and I've definitely succeeded.

I typically have a hard time sticking with month long challenges like this. Life gets in the way and I bail half way through. So I'm super proud of myself both for sticking with it (particularly for getting back on track when life did get in the way a few times) as well as for pushing myself to finally make progress on my drawing goals.

Thanks to @castleintheairstudio for the wonderfully inspiring list of prompts. And thank you to the many amazing artists who provide tutorials on YouTube and taught be so much. I've tagged them in the description of each drawing if they have an IG account.

Castle Day 24 of #castleintheairstudio #inktober Castle

Day 24 of #castleintheairstudio #inktober I’ve always loved the use of the term castle for the rook though apparently that makes me old-fashioned or informal or perhaps both. But if you can call the move castling then you should be able to call the piece a castle. No tutorial this time.
