Got some silicone novelty ice cube tray molds for making soaps: hearts, stars, jewels, and braaaaaaains! The first batch of brains ended up looking like an anuerism because the liquid soap coloring I used pooled at the bottom. For the first batch of jewels, I just a little too much color and the same thing happened. Second batch of both came out much better.

February Lady Frenzy!!!
Finally finished Goose's sweater. She came up that weekend for the Nordic Knitting Conference and we blocked it so she could wear it.
I started mine right after I finished hers and I just have to do the sleeves!

WIP: February lady sweater
Finally finished the body of the February Lady Sweater I'm making for my mom. With moving to a new apartment and all the craziness of life and work etc I haven't had much time for knitting. Next up is the sleeves which should go pretty fast.

Wee Wonderfuls Felt Hand-sewn Bunny
The other week I was down in Portland for OSCON and my mom and I visited her favorite sewing shop. I picked up these little cards with softy patterns by Wee Wonderfuls and made the bunny!

Sock Lamb
Lamb made from some cheap fuzzy socks I picked up at a drug store. I made the dress from a hand towellette I got from Daiso for about $1.50. The face is felt and buttons.

Behold the power! 3 Wolf Tuscan Milk Moon
I tie-dyed the tshirt on the stove using iDye. This was the second batch. The black is really solid, the lighter part came out to be a nice grey.
I modified the original 3 wolves image and added a gallon of Tuscan milk. Did you know that's the same brand of milk they use on Iron Chef America?! haha
I then printed the image onto an opaque iron-on transfer from Dharma Trading. Those things are really good quality!
If you don't get the reference, here it is:

The joke behind the milk is it was coming up as a recommended item or an item that customers who bought the shirt also bought. It is such a random and strange item to buy on Amazon that it has gotten almost as much attention as the shirt.

Obey the French Bulldog Tshirts
I found this cute image on the Internet and decided to put them on some blank Tshirts I had dyed. I used the opaque iron-on transfers from Dharma Trading. I use iDye (also purchased through Dharma) on the stove to dye the shirts. I used blank white tshirts I ordered wholesale through American Apparel. I get a dozen of a style in white, comes out to about $3-$5 a shirt depending on the style.
