New Years Eve

Tonight I placed an avocado pit in a glass of water, with hopes that it will sprout in the new year.



I'm going to spend a bit more time reflecting on the year and baking some cookies before I go find some friends and ring in the next decade.

Well, Abby and I made some vagina cookies.





We have big plans for these erotic sweets. I'll keep you updated.

Snowflake Curtains

I've said this before: I really, really like taking paper to the sewing machine. Maybe because it feels like something I'm not supposed to be doing? Whatever. It's fun.

I've been making lots of snowflakes lately. I'm kind of addicted to it. They were piling up, so I decided to sew some snowflake garlands.

Some to go in the kitchen:



Some to go in my bedroom (with the curtains that I just finished sewing):



They're pretty festive and cute and make me very happy when I wake up in the morning. And Jill just pointed out this 5-pointed snowflake tutorial. So now I'm going to try and master those.

Cute Things to Make From Soda Cans: Pt. 1

My sister and I made these for our mom awhile ago. For her birthday, in May. We dug through my neighbor's trash can and ended up with some nice & colorful magnets.



Tutorial is here.
