We've Moved Cards

We move waaaay too often.

(I loved the colors of this one!)

Buttermilk Scones

Do you take tea time? In America this tradition is often overlooked, but I think it is the perfect afternoon pick me up. I work from home most of the time and a 15-30 minute tea is the perfect way to push through that last two hours. And what's tea without something to snack on?

The Massive Four Month Project

Phew. What a project. The last four months have been spent drafting, mocking, sewing, painting, and lacing. The costume that I made is Sheik from the Legend of Zelda and Super Smash Brothers series. She/he is a badass and the lovely Korina who wore the cosplay said she felt like she could take anyone while she was wearing it.

"Wallpaper"

An apartment has to be the worst living arrangement for a crafter. I can't put up curtains, shelves, and flooring. The worst part for me is the walls. I hate houses with walls that are all one colour. My solution was to make some "wallpaper."

Chevron is everywhere right now so I decided to take advantage of that and apply scrapbook paper to the bathroom walls. 

(It's really hard to get a good picture of the whole wall when there's another wall right there)

Cross Stitching

I've been really into the cross stitching lately. I made a commercial cross stitch pattern.

Slow Going

I've been very busy on my etsy shop. I've posted and sold and shipped a bunch of sailor scout baby outfits.

Home-made Laundry Detergent

Up until we moved, we had to pay for the community washer and dryer. It cost us $3.50 a load! We wore jeans and shorts for a week until I could bring myself to spend that much money on wash. My habit of changing sheets weekly turned into changing sheets monthly. Yuck. With all that money spent on merely running the washer and dryer, I couldn't stand buying laundry detergent.
