2011-10-01T07:19:00.000-04:00

for wes AND for the shower i'm attending this weekend. i do make my own felt (both dry and wet) but i sure don't have enough time by next weekend. i happened to stop at michaels yesterday. they had that normal felt stuff - which is crap. did you know it was made out of polyester? i lost hope until i was wandering around in another area. guess what? THEY HAD REAL WOOL FELT! (and they also have tiny bags of roving too)

i got these four colors. i'm going to use two colors in each set of booties. the felt is my pic, the booties i'm going to make AND the picture of them are from martha's website the design is by Dawn Huntington, www.outoftheboxcalifornia.com

the felt is dimensions feltworks (this link has GREAT prices by the way. at michaels it was WAY more expensive)

here are the others i finished as well. the top one (one with the log cabin blanket) was made for my BRAND NEW great nephew wes. he was born at 12:34 AM on monday! he's A-DORABLE (and hey we ALL have big ol' feet)

Filmmaker Chelsea McMullan’s emphatic new short documents the surreal myths surrounding Federico Fellini’s infamous unmade film Il Viaggio di G. Mastorna Detto Fernet (The Journey of G. Mastorna called Fernet), the story of a man living unknowingly in the afterlife. The avant-garde director described the project as his life’s curse, and legend has it that a magician once told Fellini that if he made the picture, ............

............. (here's a post i did on my other blog about bill clinton becoming vegan (cool!)

here's another issue i'd like to talk about. people getting feather hair extensions. perhaps they don't know animals get TORTURED for this. there is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED for it either. if you want feather extensions, you can get a VERY COOL VEGAN version.

here are a few places you can shop:

the bead giant on etsy

and

montabahn on etsy (by the way, i ordered from this shop) pic from montabahn etsy shop linked above - these are THE faux feathers i ordered by the way

and

meg's faux feathers on etsy

here's some information you just might want to read BEFORE buying REAL FEATHER hair extensions:

Vegan Uncensored: Out With The Feather Hair Extensions!

We’ve all seen them: the brightly colored hair feathers dawning heads of sorority girls, Ke$has and Steven Tylers everywhere. It’s unclear how these ridiculous hair accessories became so popular, but it IS clear that they come at the price of lives. According toecorazzi.com, “at least one farm in Western Colorado is now killing up to 1,500 roosters per week just for their backside “saddle” feathers.” There are many accessory- and clothing-related items that are less than – um – compassionate, but when new ones emerge it’s a good opportunity for us to look, as a society, at how we use and abuse animal for the sake of something as frivolous as fashion.

The attention that has been paid to the recent use of feather hair extensions has brought focus to another use for rooster feathers, which is equally lame: fishing lures. That’s right, look at the big picture: thousands of roosters are killed weekly for their use in fishing lures and hair accessories! ..............

A Tight-Knit Community

Why Facebook can't match Ravelry, the social network for knitters.

By Farhad Manjoo

The best social network you've (probably) never heard of is one-five-hundredth the size of Facebook. It has no video chat feature, it doesn't let you check in to your favorite restaurant, and there are no games. The company that runs it has just four employees, one of whom is responsible for programming the entire operation. It has never taken any venture capital money and has no plans to go public. Despite these apparent shortcomings, the site's members absolutely adore it. They consider it a key part of their social lives, and they use it to forge deeper connections with strangers—and share more about themselves—than you're likely to see elsewhere online. There's a good chance this site isn't for you, but after you see how much fun people have there, you'll wish you had a similar online haunt. The social network is called Ravelry. It's for knitters (and crocheters)..............

Pride in the wool: the rise of knitting

It is nearly a decade since the knitting renaissance hit the headlines. Since then, things have gone from strength to strength. Perri Lewis reports

Perri Lewis

Almost 10 years ago this newspaper, like so many others, declaredknitting the next big thing. The craft was, it said, "the biggest thing since sliced bootlegs". Ever since this early (albeit dubious-sounding) fanfare, whenever a pretty girl/D-list celebrity picked up a set of needles, you were guaranteed to find headline after headline proclaiming knitting the new yoga, or the new black, or the new whatever.

But despite this decade-long reign over the lifestyle pages, the last 12 months have been particularly good for knitting. Peter Fitzgerald, a retail director at Google UK, says that while online searches for knitting-related terms have grown steadily since 2004, the growth this year has been really noticeable. "Our data shows that searches for knitting have increased over 150% just this year," he says. The term "knitting for beginners" has increased by 250%.

Sales of yarn in John Lewis haberdasheries are significantly higher than last year: figures for luxury Germany yarn brand Gedifra have risen by 126%, while Rowan yarn is up 57%. Worldwide, Rowan yarn sales have just about doubled. What makes knit one, purl one so very 2011?....................

how to make a peacock fascinator from scrap felt (i'm guessing they're using the word fascinator to equal the words HAIR CLIP, but again, it's a guess)

(i baked the cookies). it was wonderfully EASY. no mixing, no clean up (i used parchment on my cookie sheet). i don't know if the product is new or not, but it's the first time i've seen it. i've enjoyed their chocolate creme filled cupcakes for a while now (MOST excellent)

carved out of an EFFING OREO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

via cory at boing boing

..............XXV sez, "Sculptor Judith Klausner has been carving classically- and Victorian-inspired cameos out of Oreo cookies. Her most recent series -- From Scratch -- explores traditional handicrafts using mass-produced, packaged foods as her medium. In addition to the Oreo cameos, she has embroidered a fried egg onto toast, cross-stitched Chex cereal, and more!"

And she made this: a mechanical musical jewelry-box with a (mate-beheading) preying mantis in place of the traditional confectionery ballerina. FWOAR.

a whole new direction in photo taking (and PERFECT for ME ME ME)
from their website:

The camera that turns light into living pictures

This year, Lytro will debut the first light field camera for everyone. OK – you’re not everyone. You are a beautiful, unique snowflake. And you deserve an amazing camera that lets you capture life’s singular moments, like baby’s first steps not second, with maximum magic and minimum hassle. No more fighting with dials and settings and modes. No more flat, boring, static photographs. With a Lytro, you unleash the light.......

this my dears is EXACTLY what i'm talkin' bout!

No fuss focus.

Click away. Shoot first, focus after. That's right, after. You can't miss.

i didn't forget solstice

(and one pic of matteo as well) in the necklaces i made for them

they're simple knitted beaded necklaces. the HARD and LONG part (well long not so much hard) is stringing ALL of the beads prior to knitting them up.

i did them on s-lon cord

(note: i just started a NEW one, same deal only i'm using 38g wire instead. it's a bit more of a chore and the effect is a bit different as well)
