Geometric Half-Bound Wayzgoose

Update from last post- I finished two projects that I had shown the beginnings of. First is my crocheted garbage bag bowl. This is the one that was shaping up to be a pillbox hat for Molly but she wouldn't wear it, so I added a garbage bag branch and some garbage bag leaves to finish it off. And now that I look at the photograph I see that I forgot to crochet a finish layer over one end of the branch- it's very dark here in condo land. Oops, it will be finished immediately but I won't post again because... well because who cares!










And here is the wee Maybe-Baby sweater made from stripped hand painted cotton fabrics. Cute as hell, eh? Now I am headed out to see if I can find any buttons that look like sea glass. All my sea glass stock is too sharp so I need to get beyond authenticity and just look for some frosted plastic.


Today is all about accessories, especially for those of us who are a tad 'fashion-compromised' or who have fallen into the Gap. First up are Spats!

Yup, looks like they're baaaackkkk! Check out the new version of girl's spats and notice the art direction for the different designs available- scroll down a bit. Life is getting too weird for me anymore, guess I have passed through the Age Barrier because selling shoes, or shoe accessories, on a toilet seat doesn't do it for me..

Pretty ivory ring, right? Nope- it bone, and it is YOUR bone, grown from your very own cell culture.


We all have tangles of cables and wires running around the baseboards looking for an outlet, don't we? Here is a solution for you other Makers out there that can't leave well enough alone in the fix-it-up department: Add jewelery to your cables! You can use stuff you already have, you can rewire beads and baubles and add it to the naked cables, or you can actually string beads onto the cables if you are smart enough to remove a plug and put it back without wreckinbg the cable intent! Cool. Now where are all my beads from the 70's?



Here is one you have probably seen already, an interesting neck scarf that will get you a seat on any subway. It will also get you a wide berth as people stay away in droves, especially if you are a male. Actually if you stick 10# weights in each side you would get an idea of just how much fun walking around with breasts can be.


Next I have two purses for your perusal- the first one is a head- right, like in a life-size leather bag with a face imprinted so it looks like you are carrying around a head. Sort a step above carrying around a bag made from bull testicles. And last, a computer bag/briefcase that will not only get you that seat on the subway, it will probably get you arrested, at least in my state.





On the lamb, need a new name? Just call me Hannah Lamba Donabed.

Kaden Harris, Eccentric Genius! Where was this guy when I was looking? Oh, OK. Probably not born yet. Maybe he has a dad?

Th-th-tha's all folks.
