I underestimated the corset. I thought one day would be enough time, and suddenly it was Thursday and what happened to my vacation!? But, it’s done, complete with a pound or more of metal boning, a full lining, and finished with handmade bias tape.
Eh, okay, it isn’t completely complete. I can actually put [...]

Ahead of me, my fiancee waits, a boutennierre made out of sewing needles and wads of thread stuck jauntily in his lapel. In my hand I hold, not a bouquet, but a giant pair of scissors, the blades waving demurely about my chest. I am wearing sewing machine feet as shoes, and sixteen [...]

A pirate who occasionally forgets how to use a keyboard, apparently. After at least a week, finally, a new post!
I’ve made little progress in the wedding dress field. I have the crinoline pieces cut, sitting, mocking in the corner of my living room. I’ve come up with my share of excuses, too: I don’t have [...]

Happy Birthday Caleb!
Tonight we are headed out to Dark Knight to watch Christian Bale’s yummy Batman performance, and the last movie that Heath Ledger made. You know, pre-OD. I’m working on a theory that Batman sent him over the edge. I’ll have more insight after the credits roll, I’m sure.
Anybody know a good recipe for [...]

Hi there!
Well, its been a few verrrry busy days, whipping myself into a flurry of new creations! This is but the first, and I’ll admit rather untimely, installation.
A while back I went to the local goodwill outlet and loaded up on all sorts of cool and interesting things (including a blue sequined jacket that [...]

I went to Goodwill on Sunday (gosh, surprise!) hunting for fabric and notions. I’ve been to this particular Goodwill several dozen times over the past six months, and while it is pretty big, I was sure I had at least browsed every section of the store.
I was wrong.
There was still one, lone exception, lying [...]

Wow, it’s a little hard to believe this day is over. It has certainly been a busy one, once I managed to roll out of bed, anyway. I came out to the living room, to be greeted with an email letting me know that I had an order to get ready. ‘What? Already?’ I asked [...]

Today’s theme colors are red, white and brown. You know, like vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup and a cherry on top? I find this combination to be just as comforting as a big bowl of sweet, with a little dash of weird thrown on top. Even my bedroom is decorated in these colors. But [...]

This was the best Independence Day I have ever had. Throughout the day I was planning on just staying home and working on some projects, like a new shirt design I’m perfecting. (to be unveiled soon) It was a nice day all day, and with the windows open, and my HTB playing video games within [...]
