I don't update enough anyway.

This sweater's been languishing forever. Jess "models" it here.

More pictures of stuff I've been making are available here. It's updated a hell of a lot more often than this blog.

Pink Elephant boxers

I made some very silly boxer shorts for Tom. I don't think anyone is as amused by them as the two of us, though. One of the elephants holds a very small, embroidered martini. Another shot is here. I also made a pair with aliens. I highly recommend this for instant-gratification sewing.

Teaser shot for the thing I made last weekend. It is part sweatshirt, part wizard's robe. It needs a bell still.

O Christmas Tree


O Christmas Tree, originally uploaded by alicen.

We (Kathleen and I) got a Christmas tree! My first tree as "grown up". It is tacky as all get out, since we think good taste is too bourgeois or something. The tree is an actual tree made of tree (not plastic), the lights don't match, and it is covered in tinsel because we both had cats growing up and couldn't have tinsel. The ornaments are all either blue glass balls, or plastic dinosaurs from the kids' toy section with ornament hooks twisted around their necks. And there is an inflatable penguin on top.

Tonight I will endeavor to make strings of popcorn and cranberries and some paper chains.
