When I started making my own clothes, I had a much-loved cotton sundress that had been worn to death but fit me perfectly, so I took it apart and used the pieces as the starting point for the bodice pattern I use for most of my dresses. This fabric is the closest match I’ve found for the original dress, and I’ve had the half-assembled pieces judging me from a shelf for several months now.…
teaboot : “Oh yeah, we have an outdoor Corgi, he just gets so bored cooped up inside all day. He knows to stay off the road. Don’t worry, he’s way too smart for coyotes and the neighbor’s know to look out when they drive past.” “Us? Oh, of *course* our Dachshund sleeps inside- we just let him out in the morning and make sure he comes back for dinner. He just…
nonasuch : Still working on these. Without the dividers, they come together a lot faster and I can use more odd-shaped pieces, which is nice. The latest batch! The butterflies were very carefully cut out from scrapbook paper, and I used some dollhouse-scale playing cards for the locket.
most-sane-classicist : swagophile : important reminder that most people you follow online are significantly lamer than you think they are including me. and if you feel insecure comparing yourself to someone online: DON’T. theyre probably also lame and weird. most people on the internet are reblog if you’re also lame and weird.
evilvampire : Most fandoms recommending media: yeah you should check this out it’s pretty good Buffy fans recommending Buffy: omg I love Buffy except for the racism, the misogyny, the occasional homophobia, the way sexual assault’s handled, a couple episodes I personally hate, David Boreanaz’s Irish accent and also the fact that Joss Whedon killed my entire family. You gotta watch Buffy though.…
nonasuch : nonasuch : nonasuch : nonasuch : I have a whole box of these little tins I bought ages ago that turned out to be too big to fit in a mystery egg and too small for anything else useful. Today I thought I’d finally figured out what to do with them, but I’m going to have to get a lot faster at making these if I want this to be a practical solution. update: have not gotten faster, but on…
creekfiend : many women are excited to get old and weird, but i have great news that it’s fully possible to become weird now, before you get old. just imagine the heights of weirdness you will be able to reach in fifty years if you get started now. that’s what I think

Spent most of yesterday putting these together. Each tray is two inches tall and just under three inches wide, so only the teensiest trinkets would fit. I used stones, shells, dried flowers, fossils, vintage glass gems and jewelry bits, all which I already had on hand — the only things I bought were the actual trays. I might have to try making some trays from scratch, because these are very…
