The Crafting Issue

I've been making lots of things this month and it's barely mid-month.

I finished the second version of my fascinator. Poppy made by this lady.


I made Paul a hat!


I gave away a bunch of hats, some of which were exchanged for money. Whoa. Crazy. I know. I also helped play Cupid. It was heart-swelling(?). They're already dating, but sometimes it's nice to let someone know that he or she is still very special. The end.

I'm also about to embark on a terrifying adventure involving sheer fabric, lots of tape markers, fabric glue, and ribbon. Here's the outline with which I'm working, minus the squares beneath.

There's just a grid of 1'x1' squares underneath so I can figure out what the hell I'm doing. I'm so scared/excited/scared some more that it's going to look like crap. But you're all cheering for me, I'm sure. You're all so lovely. It's going to be a huppah for my friends' Jill and Josh's wedding in a few weeks.

Friends, I'm interested in finding new blogs, about random things. I don't have to know them personally. You don't have to know them personally. I've already got what feels like a crapton of blogs I follow, but I'm always looking for more. Suggestions? I know there are whole communities out there, just not sure where they're hiding.

I was also pointed to a couple of blogs that reviewed Frank DanCoolo: Paranormal Drug Dealer in the wake of the Boston Sci-Fi Fest. Thanks to Soresport and FilmForager for their kind words! Next month: Gasparilla in Tampa! If we screen during the weekend, I'll go.

This weekend: LA wedding on the Queen Mary. Party.

And finally, here are two true friends. You do things for your friends when they're sad. So do these guys. That's all.
