    I was planning a trip, and mindlessly scanning google maps satellite view. Inspired, I captured satellite images of the entire path from my house to my friends, and printed it out on a strip of paper 1″ wide by 36″ long. I rolled up the strip, put it in a tube, and mailed to my…

    I made another chandelier, because I’m obsessed. This one is far less interesting looking at night, but much better looking during the day or when it is turned on. But, still very unsatisfied, and I might make a third. I stuffed colored tissue paper in some of the tubes as a test, which looked great!…

    I have stumbled on the ultimate urban camouflage. I found a UPS hat, then bought the pants and shirt to match. When I slip this on I can walk unimpeded into any building, any event, anytime.

    I was cleaning out my closet and found a staggering number of hats. Some I recognized, some were friends, some I had no idea where they came from. And I don’t really wear hats. So I made a video. If you recognize your hat let me know….

    I took another sewing class (yo Butcher’s Sew Shop!). We were making bags, and I’d recently found a simply ENORMOUS zipper. It is meant to be used for boat covers, but I don’t have a boat. My most excellent instructor stifled her laughter and helped me squeeze this monstrosity into a normal non-boat-sized bag. I’d…

    I have become obsessed with mailboxes, the blue collection boxes scattered across the US. According to the UPSP, there are 140,875 installed, but that seems ludicrously low? But, you can find one on a map, and you should! I did a little project, and ended up with about 100 postcards of mailboxes, located near my…
