Look Ma! No Pattern!

While being at home for Christmas, I've enjoyed not doing much. I am starting to get a bit bored, however. I am looking forward to getting back to the normal swing of things.

This year, I was slightly less Scrooge-y than I have been in the past; so much so, that I wanted to make Christmas cookies:

I think they turned out pretty great, but I wish I had known about these:

..maybe next year.

Below are some hot-pantish PJ bottoms for a gift. This picture was taking just before they were finished; I forgot to get a shot of the finished product. The right picture is much truer to the coloring. They turned out pretty ridiculous.

I didn't realize until just now that one side has the chevron arrows going upward while the other side has them going downward. ~~Seems wrong.~~ Character!

I am planning on trying out some new stuff as well as trying to finish up some already-going-on-stuff in the coming weeks:

*I love this. It looks pretty simple. I'd like to make one for New Years so I can look all special.

*My cat is snoring.

(No I didn't make that.)

*Found this a while ago and wanted to do something like it, or maybe just knock it off completely:

*Want.
*Make!

Zippered pouch porn..

Every post seems to start out about the same, so I've decided to start out this and possibly future posts with something a little different. Probably a little random because it tends to be my style. First, random: Remember Marriedtothesea ? It's been a couple years since I followed this webcomic, but today we reunited, however briefly. Their comics along with the original Toothpastefordinner , range from probably-too-smart-for-me to omg-hilarious. In any case, here's a recent gem: I am still unsure of how to properly give credit to authors of sites and images without "hotlinking". So I have not linked this image. However, I hope it's pretty evident if you've read anything above: this ain't mine, it's Marriedtothesea.com's. Now on with the update.. Another "art scarf" made while I was on vacation.. Yes, it's a little wonky, no judging. That's a geometric interior pocket you're seeing. Finally onto the most recent addition: ...

I’m not what you think I am I’m the king of Siam

Well well, we meet again. I don't have much of an update tonight because I'm moving tomorrow A.M. and almost everything I want to play with is packed. I'm actually quite anxious about this move, though I'm sure it will go fairly smoothly. Utilities are all turned on (new house), the house I'm leaving is in relatively good shape (though I'm sure the panic will set in when I wake up tomorrow..), and I totally fixed the hole I tore in the paint in my bedroom. Still, despite everyone that's helping me and the excitement to move to the new house, I still kind of feel like I'm doing this on my own. Oh, and I haven't heard back from the future landlord yet regarding when I can pick up the key, which scares me a lot little. Think happy thoughts.. In any case, not much crafting or sewing going on right now, I've resigned to playing DS and trying to imagine how much I can fit in that box over there. Have I mentioned how much this moving has consumed me? I...

DC, finally

Here are some photos I took in DC. My camera's getting worse every time I try to use it, and maybe I am too. National Portrait Gallery, from the floor. Renwick Gallery, part of the Smithsonian Museum. Wild Bill, Presidents' exhibit of the National Portrait Gallery. Close up of a silk installation piece at Renwick. It's kind of dumb that I don't remember who the artist is. Perty houses. Virginia has the best welcome sign. But their interstate only goes up to 65. Tiled wall bordering a park in Stacy's neighborhood. Prettiest dessert I ever did have! (Red Rocks) Awesome concrete-writing fail. It looks like it says "fuck everything", but it actually says "luck everything". Rawr! 4 days is not enough. This was my second trip to DC. Not pictured is the Thao and Mirah show we went to for Stacy's birthday. Divine!
