Sewing is not the only crafty thing I do. For instance, I am an avid friendship bracelet maker, and for some reason I can't stop making envelopes out of everything I can get my hands on. (p.s. I love mail!)
Okay, and I cook and I bake too. Yum!
Happy Carafting!
Been going bracelet crazy. Here are my latest 4. I’m thinking of making more of the thick string kind, and dyeing them, maybe even dip dyeing them.
And thanks for all of the encouragement to sell them on Etsy!
This dress was inspired by the student in my sociology class who thought that all feminists were hairy and butch. I just want to make sure that everyone knows that a feminist can wear whatever the fuck she or he (or both or neither) feels like wearing. My sociology professor loved the dress and she gave me extra credit! I used a potato stamp to make the print, I used a vintage pattern to make the dress, and I embroidered the phrase “This is what a feminist looks like” on the bodice.

Here are a few of my pictures of the eclipse. IT WAS AWESOME. I taped a little piece of aluminized mylar over my camera lens.
Thought I’d reblog my reg blog. Cause I’m so excited.
More blended goodness with granola, and another bracelet in the works. This one is 14 strings! I usually stick to 10. Don’t know what possessed me. I did once make a 16 string bracelet. It’s one of my favorites.
These are the 4 bracelets I’ve completed in the past few days. I got 3 of them out of a pile of unfinished ones that I started long ago. I completed the black and orange and the brown and green ones. I undid all that was done on the pink, orange and yellow one and started a new pattern. The 4th one I started from scratch. I intend to send it to boyfriend, who has left for a summer internship with Virgin Galactic! How cool is he? I hope he doesn’t check this blog…
The one I’m working on now is also from my pile (I say pile, when I really mean wad) of started-long-ago-and-never-finished bracelets. Wonder why I started a 14 string bracelet…Also, I’m worried there’s not enough string to make it sufficiently long for anyone over the age of 4. We shall seeee.
A few quick calculations suggest that if I sold most of my bracelets on Etsy for just $4 each, I would easily make over $100. Honestly, I could use the money, and the poor things just sit in a jar. $4 is a steal considering the time and effort that goes in. I just don’t know how they would sell. There are plenty of bracelets like mine for sale on Etsy, but how does one tell whether the seller has any success selling them or knot (haha, a pun)? Would you buy one of these for $4? What about $6? I don’t think the quality of mine is good enough to compete with the other $6 bracelets. Thoughts?
I decided to pick up a parsnip at the grocery. I couldn’t remember ever having tried one. I sliced it up, sautéed it in butter for just under 10 minutes, then mixed some dill in and ate it over a bed of coconut rice. Good stuff.
I’ve gotten out a bunch of bracelets that I started a long time ago and never finished. I undid the few rows that had been completed for this one and started a new pattern. Here it is almost done, next to my brunch. I had a yummy bowl of blended frozen strawberries, a banana, blueberry yogurt, and a dash of honey. Topped with granola. The bracelet is finished now and it looks pretty good. I’ve completed 5 bracelets in the past few days, and I’ll be working on more. I’ll put up a picture(s) soon.

Latest Bracelet Creation. I think I will send this one to boyfriend.
