I may have spent way too much time looking at books about hippie textile art. I own quite a few of them, including this one. Applique is easy and fun!
Plans for this thing involve a bunch of quilting and then binding and everything. I think it's ultimately destined to be a wall hanging of some sort.

Quilt beginnings
Apologies for the crappy pictures. This is the beginnings of a wall hanging. More pictures to follow.

Day 14
I started some new wrist warmers. This newish yarn store, which is mere blocks from my house, is on my walk home. And open in the evenings. It's dangerous.

Lost Horizon Night Market SF
This is what I've been doing the past several days. We built a mad tea party in a 24' box truck, and smashed a LOT of dishes. Here is the after shot.
(Props to Neil Girling for taking the excellent picture above; the linked picture is from (I think) Jonathan Ross.)

Days 7-9
Day 7 we spent the evening checking out a badass art gallery/live-work warehouse space we were maybe going to move into. But I forgot to take pictures. We've decided not to move because it lacked windows and a kitchen, but it was totally a creative and worthwhile thing to look into. I remain convinced that there are better spaces out there.
Day 8 sort of got eaten up by rain, commute and rock climbing. So no picture there either.
This picture is for day 9, and was taken last night at NIMBY while working on the project I can't yet talk about. Hopefully I'll have pictures of that for tomorrow.

Craft-a-whatever day 6
Last night's project was filling out Christmas cards. It will be this night's as well, most likely. But I'll try to come up with a different picture.
And yes, I didn't make my own. I'm lazy.

Craft-a-day December Day 5
I am totally putting this up on the correct day! I made these for Tom a couple of weeks ago. A matching hat is planned.

Craft-a-day December Day 2
Day 2 is boxers. When Tom gets sucked into going to fabric stores with me, he sometimes finds fabric he likes. Which is eventually turned into underwear. I was home sick today so I finally finished these.
Craft-a-day December Day 1
I know lots of people who are trying to draw something every day of December. Since I'm trying to make Christmas gifts, I'd rather devote the energy to making things instead. So I'll try to post something I'm making every day until I leave for the holidays. Of course, I'm starting off a day late.
This is for December 1. It's a hat I made for my aunt as a Christmas present. Apologies for the terrible photo - I mailed the hat back from Boston after Thanksgiving, so I can't take another at the moment.
