Tutorial: http://scissorspaperwok.com/2011/07/18/how-to-make-clothing-buttons-from-shrink-plastic/

I made buttons! I did it from entirely recycled materials and didn't have to buy a single thing for the project! *dances*

I want to make more. :)

It was a dark and stormy night...ok, so it isn't stormy, but it does look like it is going to rain. And it isn't that dark, but it is dark enough that it is hard to see me. It's the kitty's fault. Just watch. Socks!



I gave a two hour presentation today. I really, really hate giving presentations. Blah! And now I'm feeling a bit crazy...you can probably tell in the video. Socks!

Had a bit of a crazy week last week with an allergic reaction to something I ate at the beginning of the week and poor Tasha-cat getting fleas toward the end of the week. This week, I've started biking into work everyday again! This has also improved my eating habits as I get everything together the night before and drive it into campus when I pick tam_elbrun up from work. I think we might run out of everything from the farm share this week!

So, I just have a bit of progress on some WIPs to show. And a sugar glider. :)

A quick video at the end of a long day, before the storm really hits. I show off my socks and a sugar glider bag.

I'm so behind on comments! And posts! I'll catch up eventually.

Not as much video editing this week, as I'm back to work. Made a couple of pillowcases using the hotdog pillowcase method. Also, introduced a couple of special guests.

I recorded this off and on all day today. Then futzed with different editing styles. Finally, I did the captioning for it. Nothing like typing out every word you are saying to make you realize how much like an idiot you sound like.

The kerchief is actually a shawl pattern. The Smart Ass Knitter's Club can be found here.

Otherwise, life has been crazy, but good-ish. I've managed to mostly get caught up on my online existence, but have been horrible about commenting.

Youtube was being cranky. iMovie said the video uploaded successfully, but it didn't appear in "My Videos" on YouTube. Hmmm...maybe I should check to make sure it didn't end up on my work account! So, I had to upload it again this morning.

Now that I'm recording in a room with plenty of available light sources, I should learn how to do lighting properly.

Instead of posting daily here with my thing-a-day posts, I'm going to start doing TTMT videos again. This edition with extra kitties. I apologize for the quality of this video. It's either the new iMovie or the light quality.

I'm ridiculously excited about Thing A Day! This is my first year doing it and it is exactly what I need to get back into the creative mindset.

Today, I made a pouch for my sugar glider. ( More behind the cut... )
