It's March?

Holy Carp! Where did the time go? What happened to February? I'm not ready for January to be over yet! Eep!

Ok, so, I've been a little busy. Between designing, writing and proofing the newsletter for my Mom's team (it's very cool but not allowed to be seen outside the company), reading review copies for book reviews (which are coming! I promise!), designing a hoodie for a friend, designing corsets for myself a couple other lovely young ladies, I've also gotten addicted to a new website.

Spoonflower is possibly one of the coolest sites I've come across in a long time. A quick search for "geek" fabrics brings up all sorts of cool stuff.
Such as:

Here's one of mine:


People occasionally post pictures of things they made with the fabric and it's so much fun. I could spend several thousands dollars on the site and not make a dent in what I want to purchase. I'm considering selling plasma to fund my fabric habit.

So, more posts coming soon! I promise! With pictures of completed projects!

Coming Soon

Well, the holidays are over and I am mostly moved in. I say mostly because, well, silverware. And that's all I'm saying on that subject.

On to other subjects!!

I love talking to the men-folk in my life about shopping. Mostly, this is because we have the same favorite places to shop. My personal opinion is that, any dedicated sewer or crafter who doesn't know their way around the local hardware store is doing themselves a very serious disservice. Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be pointing out some of the treasures that can be found at your friendly local hardware store.
