Link-Love: Design, Arts, Crafts, Magic

Jumbo Jibbles is awesomeness and attractiveness. She's done me a gorgeous pair of ear-rings, some wonderful tiny robots, which haven't yet been unpack in my new apt. And she's done other gorgeously delicate sculptures and fun life-size veggies. Basically, she's awesome.

As is Hands Occupied.
I've been looking for knitting projects*. And through a wonderful friend, I got a few tips from Heidi at Hands Occupied on where to start. (No, I don't really think my childhood knitting-summers count. Although, if the knowledge surprisingly sprung back into life, I wouldn't complain.)
I plan on checking out the local yarn store soon. But until then, I'm trying out some basic patterns that I found. More on this, later.

*I've been looking for entirely non-school related things to do (for a bunch of reasons, including complete boredom with intellectual snobbery).

Talent, talent

I'm in love with a.b.'s remake of a Louisa dress and Eileen's blue fairweather one.
Sigh, you talented women.

On my list of things to do, eventually is to learn to sew. But further up on the list are grading student papers (again) and writing a thesis prospectus.

Also, the letter is here! I'm in.
