Sometimes you are just so into something that you gotta do a craft about it. That’s exactly what happened as I watched Dimension 20’s A Court of Fey and Flowers this summer and fall. I love D20, and this show was particularly my jam: high magic, fairies and beasts and goblins, love and relationships–what else … [Read more…]
Making custom shoes has been something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time. Shoemaking is an incredible craft that requires a lot of skill and some specialized equipment. But there are now sneaker kits that come with premade and punched soles, insoles, and patterns. I used the kit from Tandy Leather to make … [Read more…]
This year, I am getting into quilting! It’s one type of sewing I have not dabbled in yet, and I’m looking forward to learning about it. I got it in my head that it would be just impossible to quilt without an extension table for my sewing machine. Most modern sewing machines have a “free … [Read more…]

I’ve been on a fanart plush kick lately! First Floomf from Keyforge, and now I’ve made the pet “dog” from Remnant: From the Ashes, a really cool co-op game I started playing recently. Read on for more photos and details on how I made him! For the body, I started with NaxFX’s hare pattern (I’m … [Read more…]
Some pattern shops offer acrylic templates for their patterns. Acrylic templates are pieces of clear plastic that are laser-cut in the same shape as the pattern pieces, and are engraved with the appropriate markings. These tools are helpful if you make the same project many times, as folks with handmade shops typically do. The plastic … [Read more…]
I’m not a big card game player, but I do love Keyforge. It’s a silly and fun game with a positive community where I’ve met amazing friends. Something else I love about it is the art, particularly the neat creatures that show up in house Untamed. There’s a new expansion for the game out on … [Read more…]
