We've reached the final leg in me trying out a US mailbox via Shippsy journey. The long weekend delayed everything by a couple of days but it made it to the Canadian warehouse. Now they ship it out to my address.

"Like all IKIJI molded garments, this is a very special knit polo. The linen/silk yarn has a beautiful, dry hand but a spongy texture to it, similar to its previous version but with added spring for a more comfortable fit. One other thing that caught my eye was the zero-waste method of producing this, using a twin plov
Ok, so for some reason my post from last night was showing that it was under a subscription, albeit a free one which may have caused issues for some of you. I have no idea what I might have turned on in the settings accidentally but that is not the case. I updated Wordpress which might have turned on something that I didn't know about. Sometimes there are weird bugs like that.
By Kath Dedon Somehow this Ali Slagle recipe for Cheesy, Spicy Black Bean Bake in the New York Times caught my eye. The photo made it look like perfect comfort food. The recipe sounded great and it…
This caught my eye at the Dear Jane retreat last month... the MONDO Bag! (not quite done) Fitting the lining... still needs straps and pockets - The Michigan ladies all made one and I had to make one for myself. This thing was holding a lot of stuff. I picked up a batik strip set at Erica's on the way home... You know the part of the pattern where it implores you to "Read ALL instructions first?!" wehell... I tried but didn't quite get it all. This increased the level of difficulty quite a bit. Loved the fusible piecing - made that part of it really easy and hard to bungle. Some of the strips cut down to 2.5" squares. Adding 2.5" squares to the fusible... all the work that goes in to making it look random... All four fused 'gridded' panels... Just previewing how it will be sewn together. This shows the four panels after fusing but before being sewn. This is where it was really fun. You just keep folding over the sewn part and sew the new seam. Really fast. You do the short seams and then the long, then clip and press. One of the gridded panels partially sewn. After the panel has been sewn. The cool square bottom after sewing the bottom edges of the four panels together. Had to go back and repair this seam. I am not sure what I did the first time. This looks bad but it lays flat now. The four lining panels fused to the fluffier fusible. This is the step I skipped. You were supposed to cut the lining panels to fit the finished size of the gridded panels. I had already sewn the outside together before I caught my mistake so I went by the size they were supposed to be then had to resize it a little. Hopefully it will fit. : / The lining coming together. This fabric is to die for.

One of the crafts listed in the CSLP manual for the Fizz Boom Read! season was all about binary code. This one caught my eye as my husband loves computers and coding, and... well... I'm a nerd too... In short, binary code is a way of writing letters and numbers and symbols using an 8-digit string of 0's and 1's. For example, the uppercase letter "A" is written 01000001. Using black beads for 0 and white beads for 1, with colors in between for spacing, we were able to create bracelets, necklaces, and keychains with coded messages. I offered this program for my teens, but it could easily be something for elementary kids to do too. Most kids wrote their names or initials, a few middle school girls wouldn't share whose name they were writing. :) The keychain spells "Carrie", and I made the blue necklace for my daughter "Abby".

Emotion Works was developed by Claire Murray in Edinburgh and about 4 years ago I came across it on the internet. The first thing that caught my eye was the visual cogs. Thinking that this would be good for the pupils with autism that we support at Reachout ASC, we jumped on a train and […]
