DETAILS:
While out thrifting I came across this yellow embroidered shawl, and hot damn I couldn't stop myself. It was whispering to me. What was it saying? 'Drink some wine and make something. Ignore your responsibilities'. And that's just what I did. My electricity might be off, but my fashion is ON!

My shirt pattern comes from an old shirt that I deconstructed. Honestly the easiest and cheapest way to get a pattern. I cut along each seem, take mental notes (and promptly forget them, due to the wine), and boom! Pattern. I recommend tracing it onto some butcher paper. I don't know why, but like my old manager says, "extra work is fun. But don't feel joy. Joy is for the elite."

Unfortunately there was no way to match the patterns symmetrically due to the nature of the shawl, and my own laziness and impatience. There are some construction mistakes (mostly unevenness and symmetry) that I wish I'd corrected but if we're talking past regrets and mistakes, that one doesn't even make the list.

Total time was roughly 4.5 hours of sewing, or roughly 6 episodes of the show 'Carrie', that are confusing because you're sewing and not paying attention to the plot, and your husband gets frustrated because you keep asking questions about what's going on with the 'Psychic Laura Ingalls Wilder', and also because there's a Singer Heavy Duty buzzing away on the other side of the living room, but you refuse to take it upstairs because you simultaneously want to spend time with your loved one and also completely ignore him in pursuit of crafting.

I don't know exactly what the fabric is, but it feels and looks like a Gaberdine. I started with maybe 2ish yards of the fabric and 3/4s of a bottle of wine and used both in their entirety for this shirt.

Peggelino Sprinklehelm was once a tiny harbour pup who lived for ice‑cream festivals. During a chaotic summer storm, he slipped on a fallen scoop, crashed into a crate, and wound up with his trusty wooden leg. Later, a misfired sprinkle cannon crowned him with the splattered scoop he still wears proudly. Now he roams the harbour, one leg, two cones, and a forever‑sticky helmet — the sweetest little hero in town.

u/wasraelx posted their warm light appreciation college and I was inspired to post my cold LED light appreciation. My brain goes all hazy in warm low lightning and I cant see . But I love sterile, harsh lighting

Thanks for the inspo wasrealx!

I am a fulltime nursing mom of a 3month old baby and I finally found my creative mojo back to create this papercut. I am thrilled with the outcome and cozy vibes. I could really put my emotions in this one after these past 3 crazy months. Are there nursing moms out there with more ideas that show the beauty or struggles of nursing? I'd already love to work on a new idea.

I used thin carton. I lifted some parts with sticky cushions (what are they called??) for a bit more depth.

Family friend asked if I could make Mario planter pots, so I did. All experimentation with trimming tool. May the kiln be gentle and the students that load the kiln 😳

Super excited that it's starting to feel like fall here in Atl sooooo I decided to tuft a pumpkin because why not 🤠. Let me know what you all think of it! Thank you!

Hi All wanted to share this undertaking of building a pool for my short film. The script was only 6 pages but required the actors to be in the water for a scene and I settled on the idea of making a pool to film this in my driveway. I choose this idea for 2 primary reasons - 

I felt it would give me more control over the safety of the crew and actors instead of finding a natural body of water to do this in. Second, I admittedly was intrigued by the challenges I would face to pull this off.

In efforts of being budget friendly the pool was framed in by some pallets ($20) I found in FB and lined with a black pond liner ($60) off eBay. I fastened it all together with some additional 2x4x10 lumber ($25) and decking hardware I already had from other projects. Lastly I utilized 3 2 ton racket straps (already owned) to handle the lateral forces once the water was in. The finished pool was roughly 8’x8’x4’ with a water depth of 3.5 feet.

When it was all said an done, I was really pleased with the results. This was my first time building something like like this and it was such a great opportunity and learning experience.

Made with hot glue and patience.

This one is my favorite out of the ones I've made so far. It's also UV! 😍💀

Monster House v2.0: Last year's foam board version was ripped down by the wind in a matter of hours. This year it's plywood, Rust-Oleum, and a whole lot of L-brackets, so hopefully it's staying put through Halloween 👻

The build itself was pretty straightforward as the framing of the porch provides the structure for the face. So all we made were the teeth and the eyes -- we used last year's foam board leftovers as a template for the plywood, cut everything out using a circular saw, sprayed it all down with Rust-Oleum, added the pupils and eye shine with acrylic paint, sprayed it all with clear coat, and screwed it in with L-brackets

I actually made three but this one is the first one completed, on a deadline as I intend to give it to a friend for a significant birthday.

I wanted to make a nice piece of furniture and practice some woodworking skills but I don’t have much space at the moment until I can rebuild my dead shed so came up with this idea. I wanted it to be nice, I had a plan to create curved corners for a unique look. I repurposed as many materials left over from other jobs as I could, I thought I only had enough to make two but I got three! I used pine furniture boards for the bodies, the block corners are leftover staircase spindles on two and some slices of oak worktop on one (that one I’m keeping for myself!)

It actually sounds really good! Surprising amount of bass for its size plus I added a slap corner and you can turn the snare on or off. I’m not musical myself but I wanted something to tap along on while my friends jam so don’t feel left out. I just need to decide if the design warrants a strap of some sort or carry handle - let me know if you have an opinion on that

It’s been great to just pour some creativity into something, I needed that!
