hardware store resin
More resin bits, these ones made using stuff I found at hardware stores. For more hardware inspiration, check out Hardwear by Hannah Rogge. I got it with my brand new Seattle library card last week. It's got some clever projects...

Martha's craft room
Take a look at Martha's craft room in this month's MSL, and on her website. It makes me want to paint a whole room Martha green. And drawers. I want a bunch of shallow drawers to store stuff. And matching...

Partridge and Fish
Hello - Becket again. I was on a brief sewing kick where I was making stuffed animals. People kept asking "who are you making them for?" I had no good answer - I just had this inexplicable need to make...

Quilted baby bibs
Hi - Becket here again. I'm expecting a baby soon (due in August) and so it's been a good excuse to make cute baby stuff (keep a lookout for future posts - I have a few projects that I'm wrapping...

Baby Shower Pocket Quilt
I've been trying to convince my friend, coworker, and fellow crafter Becket to start a blog. She has so far resisted. Then we teamed up on a project for another friend's baby shower, which was the perfect excuse to convince...

Martha
What to say about Martha's new show? I'm going to keep watching it, at least, hoping for some good craft content. The shirt-folding trick was neat the first time, but did we really need to see it twice? It seems...

Sampler
I let my Sampler subscription lapse last month, but then was horribly jealous of everyone's summer samplers and so ponied up for another 3 months. If you want to subscribe, you have to be on the web site, already signed...

Renegade report
Wow, Renegade was great. There was a lot of reworked vintage stuff, like, say, pouches made from old sheets and tableclothes. I don't know where people find all their great fabric. Also lots of wonderful silkscreening. I'm totally inspired to...

Japan in New York
Spent the day in New York City yesterday, seeing the Gates and checking out all the Japanese stores I could find, mostly midtown. I figured I'd post them just in case anyone else is looking. I found out about these...

squarish bag
I made this bag from the cosmetic bag tutorial I bought from Baked Ideas. It's a little too floppy since I didn't add interfacing as recommended. Oh well. It will fill out once I put stuff in it. The flowery...

Good haul of craft books for Christmas. One sister got me a pile of thrifted craft books. There are some really good ones (in a good way), my favorite being Storybook Favorites in Cross Stitch by Gillian Souter, and some...

wax experiment
Inspired by the Lauren Dyer stuff I posted the other day, I've been playing with wax. These are made of shrinky-dink, hemp, and tea-light wax. I learned that wax doesn't adhere to smooth shrinky-dink all that well, among other lessons...
