My love and appreciation for these things runs deep. When talking about people like myself, the term "Geek" usually comes into play. Plain and simple, these things make me happy. And as I have gotten older that has become more and more apparent. They have wiggled their way into my everyday life. From the things I teach my girls, to how my husband and I spend our time together, and most relevant to this post, how I look at things from a creative standpoint.<br />
<br />

For the past year, I have been playing around with an idea. It started off very, very small. And as more time has past, I can't seem to think about anything else. I have been thinking that the <a href="http://www.dragoncon.org/" target="_blank">Dragon*Con</a> convention is the perfect venue for the items that I make. My family has attended this convention the past few years, but this year when I went, I went with "new eyes" on. I looked at things from a seller's view. I thought about whether or not my things would fit and attract the people who attend the convention. And by the end of the convention, the answer that I had was an overwhelming YES. And more shockingly, it was "Yes, you can do this, Amanda"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I have bounced this idea off of family and friends to help me talk it out, give me an objective point of view and to way the pros and cons of this endeavor. I know that this is something that I have to try and do.<br />
<br />
So, I have decided to put myself out there and start an <a href="http://igg.me/p/569418/x/3711225" target="_blank">Indiegogo Campaign</a>, to help fund the cost of the vendor's fees. Asking for money is something that I don't usually do. But without a little extra help, I know that this will not be able to happen.<br />

So if you knit or you have friends/family that knit, this is a great project that goes together fast with just a few fat quarters and some ribbon. I have it listed over in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheCraftJunky?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">shop</a> if you're interested!<br />

<a href="http://indigomouse.net/" target="_blank">Melissa</a> started it off by taking my request for a giant bear paw and turning it into the most wonderful scrappy blocks I have ever seen. And everyone followed suit and the results are amazing!<br />
<br />
I didn't want to do a traditional sashing so I decided to use one of my favorite Lizzy House fabrics and I think it fit the bill perfectly.<br />

I backed it in an Anna Maria Horner Little Folks flannel along with a little Michael Miller flannel and it is so soft and snuggly. <br />

Now I usually try and keep this space crafting only and keep as much of my personal life out of it as I can. But since this is relevant to why I made this project I am allowing myself to share a tiny bit. :)<br />
<br />
5 years ago, on October 29th, which happened to be the day before my youngest daughter's 1st birthday and 2 days before her favorite holiday, my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 renal cancer. The outlook was NOT good at all. Tough times, people, tough times. 5 years later, she is still here, and she is my hero. She has gone through a lot and I love her so very much. <br />
<br />
I decided to surprise and make her something to celebrate this amazing 5 years.<br />
<br />

I have been wanting to make myself something with the amazing <a href="http://www.liveartgalleryfabrics.com/indiansummer.html" target="_blank">Indian Summer</a> fabric line by <a href="http://sarahmewatson.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sarah Watson.</a> I did start a quilt with it a while back and it is almost complete, but I wanted something that I could use on a more regular basis. I seem to have gotten my knitting mojo back so I thought that a new knitting project bag may be just the thing.<br />
<br />
I decided to go with an older <a href="http://www.amybutlerdesign.com/products/patterns_display.php?id=30" target="_blank">Amy Butler pattern</a> that has been collecting dust in my obscenely large pattern stash. (<em>no seriously, I may actually need an intervention for this problem, but that is a whole other blog post</em>) <br />

I stuck pretty close to the pattern. The things I changed were that I used Pellon fusible fleece for the main body of the bag because I wanted the bag to have more structure and then I only added one pocket to the inside instead of two like the pattern calls for. I also decided to use a 3rd fabric for the handles to add a little of my favorite color. :)</div>

No reason for it. You just see something and you think, "Hey, that would be fun to make!" Usually if this happens, I try to conjure up a reason to make it, like finding someone who wants to do a swap or something. <br />
<br />
Are you guys familiar with the online workshop site, <a href="http://www.creativebug.com/" target="_blank">Creativebug?</a> So many good things on this website. With workshops from instructors like, <a href="http://www.creativebug.com/instructors/anna-maria-horner" target="_blank">Anna Maria Horner,</a> <a href="http://www.creativebug.com/instructors/cal-patch" target="_blank">Cal Patch,</a> <a href="http://www.creativebug.com/instructors/heather-ross-3" target="_blank">Heather Ross,</a> and <a href="http://www.creativebug.com/instructors/natalie-chanin" target="_blank">Natalie Chanin</a>. And for September, you can lock in your subscription price for only $10 a month. Score!<br />
<br />
So, one of the most recent workshops is this <a href="http://www.creativebug.com/workshops/travel-kit" target="_blank">travel kit</a> from <a href="http://www.creativebug.com/instructors/betz-white-2" target="_blank">Betz White.</a> She says in the video that it would make a great little bag to store you toiletries in when you travel, but of course when I saw this, my brain saw the cutest knitting project bag EVER. <br />
<br />
So I got to work, plotting and planning. Pulling fabrics and rummaging through "the horde" to see what kind of precious things I could use to make this bag. Since the bag is so small, the fabric requirements are minimal and therefore I thought cutting into some precious things was warranted.<br />
<br />
Now, I did change some things from the original. I knew I wasn't going to want to cover up any of my precious fabric so the handles would have to be moved. <br />

I also decided that I wanted this little bag to be super sturdy, so I first fused all of the pieces with SF-101 and then fused the fusible fleece on top of that, on all of the pieces. And then SF-101 on the lining pieces also. On the bottom piece, I used fusible Peltex, which I trimmed to be about a 1/4" smaller on all of the sides so I wouldn't have to deal with sewing through it. BAM!!! Bag of superior sturdiness accomplished. It would take a bomb to destroy this thing.<br />
<br />
The fabric that I used is an Echino quilting cotton from a few years back and paired it with a natural linen. I then decided it would be pretty neat if the webs on it were sparkly. So I quilted over the straight lines running through the web on all of the pieces. And then just did random straight line quilting on the bottom linen part.<br />

A few months ago <a href="http://www.asquaredw.com/" target="_blank">Ali</a> started a fun little game called <a href="http://www.asquaredw.com/2013/09/stash-match-september.html" target="_blank">Stash Match.</a> She picks an inspiration photo and 6 bloggers to rummage through their stash and pick at least 10 fabrics, but no more than 20, take a picture of them and send them to her. The fabrics have to be at least a Fat Eighth cut (no scrap diving), and you can't go out and buy anything new. Make sense? Good.<br />
<br />
Then your job is to check out the pictures on Ali's blog and match up the pictures to which blogger they belong to. If you guess all of the pictures right you will have a chance to win an Awesome prize!! <br />
<br />
This month, Ali chose a print from Rashida Coleman-Hale's Koi line (love this fabric) as the inspiration photo.<br />

So head on over there and give it a shot, and see if you can tell which one is mine. I made sure to include some geeky goodness in the stack (hint, hint)<br />

When I opened up my package from Cloud 9. I was pretty amazed. The colors of this line are so vivid and the canvas is super soft. I was pretty excited to cut into it.<br />

I decided to make the <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/sewing/accessory/snap-tote/62242">Snap Tote </a>, by the lovely Yahaira, because I thought the geometric loveliness of the fabric would lend itself well to the shape of the bag.<br />

This fabric is perfect for bag making. Ironing the pleats in this bag was a cinch because the fabric holds a crease so nicely. But still soft enough so that when I folded the gusset in to snap it together, it wasn't difficult.</div>

And I have to say that the combination is awesome. I love the contrast of the silver snaps against the canvas-y texture and bright blue of the fabric.<br />

I can't wait to get some more Geocentric II. I have my eyes on the <a href="http://cloud9fabrics.com/geocentric_13_II.html">Diamond Sky</a> print next, I think.<br />
<br />
I loved working with this fabric and participating in the bag challenge. Thanks so much <a href="http://cloud9fabrics.com/">Cloud 9</a> and <a href="http://www.sewmamasew.com/">Sew Mama Sew</a> for letting me participate. And be sure to check out <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/sewing/accessory/snap-tote/62242">Yahira's Snap Tote</a> pattern! So much fun to make. There are definitely more snap totes in my future.<br />

<br />
In other exciting news, I am headed to Georgia for <a href="http://stashbash.wordpress.com/">Stash Bash</a> this weekend! SO excited. I am sure there will be lots of sewing and giggling and late nights and possibly a tiny bit of alcohol. ;)<br />

<br />
Hey Hey friends! Welcome to my stop for the microMod sew-along. I knew right away that I wanted to make something wearable, because let's face it, this fabric is way too awesome not to show off.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ_ogqQLnYfcOAUUulpvk3m5W9tHzLllLL9E5PDnY9zo2qoRtvXGsk_UyB43iqCUhwDn-mWC8yIAl-kGtViLUTPAfljVEEjKoqgaXlQANtLHBZdVNku2Q-wKOg6u1WNl9oXcADuyFMg3E/s1600/micro+mod+skirt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ_ogqQLnYfcOAUUulpvk3m5W9tHzLllLL9E5PDnY9zo2qoRtvXGsk_UyB43iqCUhwDn-mWC8yIAl-kGtViLUTPAfljVEEjKoqgaXlQANtLHBZdVNku2Q-wKOg6u1WNl9oXcADuyFMg3E/s640/micro+mod+skirt.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
But before we get into the nitty gritty details of my project, let's find out some from trivia from the microMod duo ala Craft Junky style!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Question: If your spouse could be a super hero, what would their super power be and why?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Alexia says: </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Rob's super power would be to be able to project movies with his mind! He loves movies and is especially good at remembering details and inspirations from films he has seen! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Rob says: </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Alexia's super power would be the power to grow additional limbs! She is always working on so many creative projects, and those extra limbs would be well used.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Seems like they know each other pretty well!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So for my project I decided to use Karyn's <a href="http://www.makesomething.ca/2011/08/12/1001-peeps-enchanted-bow-skirt/">Enchanted Bow Skirt</a> tutorial to make this fantastic skirt.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I decided not to make the bow since I knew that would probably be wearing it with my geeky t-shirts and converse. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This print is called Vertigo and I think that it lends itself well to garment sewing as well as the hand of the <a href="http://cloud9fabrics.com/micromod_II.html">Cloud9</a> fabric. It is so soft and has such a nice drape, I want to make several more wearables out of it. I paired the microMod with a simple gray hued shot cotton at the hem just to add a touch of contrast. </div>

At first I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I didn't want to do the obvious thing, which would be to make house quilt blocks in similar colors. I remembered that one day while driving around I came across this neighborhood, and from where my car was, you could see the rooftops of all the houses. So I packed up my camera and set out for a little scenic photo shoot.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is my original picture</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br />
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
So now I had the image, what the heck do I do with it?! I several ideas, all of which didn't pan out. So I started playing around with the idea of making it black and white and then transferring it to fabric somehow.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUK2Sji_6E2emUUZdrvPlH5s4K9W-h_EbNfSBM6v27G-VZESqWZvugy5AEPcVzKBczEIIofKe3oZAPyWvcpSd7ij0kGfGrvOB4z5qB0IhV3hUFcr6LC3cG7zYc6VeBFj6hnnPl0H4DIYg/s1600/IMG_0034.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUK2Sji_6E2emUUZdrvPlH5s4K9W-h_EbNfSBM6v27G-VZESqWZvugy5AEPcVzKBczEIIofKe3oZAPyWvcpSd7ij0kGfGrvOB4z5qB0IhV3hUFcr6LC3cG7zYc6VeBFj6hnnPl0H4DIYg/s640/IMG_0034.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I used the tutorial from <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.com/2011/10/how-to-transfer-a-photo-to-fabric.html">A Beautiful Mess</a> to transfer my image to some white kona cotton. And I have to say, I love the distress effect it gives the photo. After it was dry I decided that I wanted to define the lines of the picture a little more.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And once I started, I couldn't stop. I started adding little swatches from my scrap bucket.<br />

I am pretty happy with how it turned out. It was definitely a 'let's see how this goes' type of deal. I haven't decided what I am going to do with it yet. I kind of like all of the threads hanging off of it though.</div>

Since I have been on a pillow-making kick, I decided to continue on with it for her.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6xWdEGW362vcbpSsno92Oa-PWzAwgQmUyCUtwWVVgcK9Asy2vAoRYLnbA1pHMrz6Bm-cZ9PE67YXYmFUh_Ruqg6HxJbO2rQi40jqof_kXAWDwic-JsKclBZ5qqnf5x9Ushoa9rt1i2JI/s1600/IMG_9889.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6xWdEGW362vcbpSsno92Oa-PWzAwgQmUyCUtwWVVgcK9Asy2vAoRYLnbA1pHMrz6Bm-cZ9PE67YXYmFUh_Ruqg6HxJbO2rQi40jqof_kXAWDwic-JsKclBZ5qqnf5x9Ushoa9rt1i2JI/s640/IMG_9889.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

I saw a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/-reyuhhh/5877139854/in/photostream/">shirt on flickr a couple of years ago</a> with this image and when thinking of something for Jeni I thought it would be perfect for her. So I made one up in photoshop and screen printed it on some sparkly linen. Then I got to adding some improv-y patchwork using Lizzy House Constellations and some purple shot cotton.<br />

This was my first time using pom-pom trim on a project. Boy was it tricky to sew. But I do LOVE the way it looks on this pillow. So much fun.<br />

<br />
I also added some embroidery to the back panel of the pillow. Just for a little extra something. She has it now and says that she loves it so I am a happy camper.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So, a little while back, <a href="http://sometimescrafter.blogspot.com/">Christina</a> and I decided to do a year long collaborative project. She told me about something that <a href="http://houseonhillroad.typepad.com/about.html">House on Hill Road</a> called <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/wordplay">Wordplay</a>. We both thought that it would be fun to do something similar with images. So here's how it will work, every month we will have an image that we have to draw inspiration from. <span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">We will either have someone choose an image for us, or pick one ourselves or for each other. It doesn't matter what the medium is that we decide to work with for our project. The idea is just to push us to create something that we wouldn't have created on our own. As someone who LOVES to just hang out in the comfort zone, I think that this will be a great challenge for me and get me to start thinking about things in a new way.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">For our first month, our friend <a href="http://www.incolororder.com/">Jeni</a> picked this image </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">by Anna Niestroj of <a href="http://blinkblink-blinkblink.blogspot.co.uk/">Blink Blink</a>.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">When first looking at the image, I was drawn to a few of the shapes, but the triangles in top-center is what really grabbed me. I actually really tried to stay away from them at first, only because they were so simple and I wanted to try to push myself to try something new. So I thought on it, and thought on it, and thought on it some more. Nothing. So I went ahead with my first idea.</span></div>

I made a mini-quilt /wall hanging depicting a mountain scene on a starry night. I echoed the peaks and valleys of the strip pieced mountains with some pink stitching and used beads for twinkly little stars. I also added some wonky zig-zag quilting to the "ground" just to add some texture.</div>

I backed it with some Field Study feathers that I absolutely love. All-in-all, once I stopped being stubborn and just went with what my brain was telling me what to do, this was a really enjoyable project. I am not sure what I will be doing with it.

It doesn't matter how early I start on them or how much I start planning, I can't give a gift on time to save my ass. I've owned up to this and accepted it about myself and my <a href="http://jaceycraft.blogspot.com/">very</a> <a href="http://sometimescrafter.blogspot.com/">understanding</a> <a href="http://www.incolororder.com/">friends</a> know this about me and have accepted it also. They know when February rolls around they can start looking the mail for a Christmas package from me. BUT..... I love love love making things for people. Trying to figure out new things to make them and sticking them in a happy little package is so much fun for me.<br />
<br />
I have been slowly working through my list of things to make and I have finally made through the first set of gifts and the package is in the mail now. So to celebrate the occasion I am writing this blog post to document it! I should probably wait until the recipient gets said goodies but I didn't want to wait so I just warned her off of my blog for this post. (<i>I am pretty doubtful she will listen though, grumble grumble</i>)<br />
<br />
Last chance to turn around Jacey! :P<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My friend <a href="http://jaceycraft.blogspot.com/">Jacey</a>, has been so supportive of me this last year I really wanted to make her things that I hoped she would really love, but wouldn't necessarily make for herself. <br />
<br />
I started out with an idea for a screen print. I know that she likes zombie movies, in particular, Shaun of the Dead. So I wanted to make her a little mini-quilt/wall-hanging that was zombie movie inspired.<br />

I tried to use only fun fabrics and this spoonflower body parts print fit the bill. And I love the pops of red in it. I backed it with a Nani Iro print. I kind of wished I had remember to add a label to the back, now that I am thinking about it though. :( Dang.</div>

After that I wanted to make something that would remind her of my visit. So I remembered Christina had done a <a href="http://sometimescrafter.blogspot.com/2011/12/tutorial-creating-photo-pillow.html">tutorial</a> on creating a photo pillow. So I drew inspiration from that to make one for Jacey.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used some beloved Goodfolks, black shot cotton and a screen printed arrow added to the top to complete the front.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
One the back I used a folksy flannels print and a <a href="http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2011/02/add-a-zipper-to-your-pillow/">Sew Mama Sew</a> tutorial to add a zipper to the back so she can take the insert out whenever she wants.<br />

<br />
Speaking of the insert. I like to make my own pillow forms. It gives you the freedom to make them in any color or fabric that you want.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiovE9NKYbMJSFRXHzR7HEwkaibieFMSRsZdFpDegjja_-PmepnMGSP0I-sdYxNRU4E1uUM35NmxZlErsggaO8qIW5S2_a-2Jr85r0kdt4RbBvKmJSomYuixOS6CmRaZYm0Wqc4ay7WKxE/s1600/IMG_9820.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiovE9NKYbMJSFRXHzR7HEwkaibieFMSRsZdFpDegjja_-PmepnMGSP0I-sdYxNRU4E1uUM35NmxZlErsggaO8qIW5S2_a-2Jr85r0kdt4RbBvKmJSomYuixOS6CmRaZYm0Wqc4ay7WKxE/s640/IMG_9820.jpg" width="576" /></a></div>
<br />
So if she ever gets tired of looking at our fat heads on a pillow, then she can just take the cover off and have a cute throw pillow instead! It's like two gifts in one! <br />
<br />
And so starts the parade of gifts. I have more handmade gifts for friends and family that I am going to blog about soon!<br />
<br />
Happy Hump Day Friends!!!!<br />

So instead of doing one of the usual "catch-up" posts, I am just going to say that a lot of crap happened and a lot of said crap was crafty stuff, and just start over with a clean slate for the new year. But before I go ahead and wipe that slate clean, <a href="http://thecraftjunky.blogspot.com/2012/01/2011-in-review-with-random-geeky.html">let's review the goals that I set at the beginning of good ol' 2012</a> and see how I measured up. And maybe I'll throw in some photos along the way.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">And last but most definitely not least, I went to Houston in October to visit my sweet friend, <a href="http://jaceycraft.blogspot.com/">Jacey</a>. The whole trip was completely amazing and I was sorry when it ended. It isn't very often that you get to meet a person that you have so much in common with that hanging out with them just feels natural.</span></div>

<br />
So here's the story. A week or so ago, I received a custom order through the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheCraftJunky?ref=si_shop">shop</a> for a blue linen Timey Wimey, a natural linen Timey Winey, and a Tardis pouch for some christmas presents for her brother and sister in-law. Great! So I ordered the fabric and got to work on them over the weekend when they came in. Well, being the <strike>anal</strike> fastidious gal that I am, I erased the convo that said customer sent me. So when I went back yesterday to send her a message and tell her that they are just about done, I realized the stupid, stupid, stupid thing I had done. BOOOOOO ON ME!!!!! Not the smartest thing I have done. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5voYgbvsyBoIoLn_WMMJR9MSvt2RFvdbUAfk2vCCoF268JHx7orS-u2iMLBH1upWKYlKjAPxpardWd9sxvXT1kB7XVdLVwZGFjneSceU2rmywX7JrCcA3Zspb8tbkdYXptMwbO5chBJI/s1600/epic-fail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5voYgbvsyBoIoLn_WMMJR9MSvt2RFvdbUAfk2vCCoF268JHx7orS-u2iMLBH1upWKYlKjAPxpardWd9sxvXT1kB7XVdLVwZGFjneSceU2rmywX7JrCcA3Zspb8tbkdYXptMwbO5chBJI/s400/epic-fail.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
So if you are you that sweet, sweet gal who contacted me would you please be kind enough to overlook my stupidity and contact me again?<br />
<br />
In other, non-stupid news.....<br />
I am going on a trip!!! YAY! I am going to visit my sweet friend <a href="http://jaceycraft.blogspot.com/">Jacey</a>. She invited me to come for a visit over the summer and I jumped at the chance to get out of Nashville and go paint the town with her!!! I am beyond excited. Especially after missing out on all of the Sewing Summit festivities over this past weekend. <br />
<br />
Of course, as all Sewing Summit veterans know, <a href="http://sewingsummit.com/?page_id=1059">traveling handmade</a> is the only way to travel. After seeing this <a href="http://www.lbg-studio.com/2012/09/travel-handmade-duffle-bag-pattern.html">duffel bag</a> on pinterest, I knew that was exactly what I wanted to make. So I bought <a href="http://www.gingercake.bigcartel.com/product/make-your-getaway-duffle-children-and-adult-size">the pattern</a>, did some Horde diving, and here is what I came up with.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWNPupzjdl8rMVEZvxcZszo_1YtfgK4VgiS6A85tpr5mjyi57Uwy5Hm8Ta1i1krP4UCiHcfmFykqPdQK2KrDBKjY2iXDewPgqOOrKw8rvB_1u3PjIfCT14GHmTiihZj7rvqTrT8PXwkQ0/s1600/IMG_9100.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="540" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWNPupzjdl8rMVEZvxcZszo_1YtfgK4VgiS6A85tpr5mjyi57Uwy5Hm8Ta1i1krP4UCiHcfmFykqPdQK2KrDBKjY2iXDewPgqOOrKw8rvB_1u3PjIfCT14GHmTiihZj7rvqTrT8PXwkQ0/s640/IMG_9100.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I loved the color blocking that LBG studios did on hers, so I kind of did the same on mine. But I followed the pattern instructions for the handles because I didn't want to cover up any of the buck print. I also used fusible fleece as the interfacing and a shortened sport zipper. I wanted a zipper that would be sturdy enough to handle the packing abuse that I will undoubtedly give it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikdGdbRovokTa6MiBP9qjYH7PyyPBHpAIjjoKFqkkbZxS5y3Yq6fnase6xXUdkiOw9_h9NaLwD2wC0prB5htnuPIBZqbo3IRrx3srIKO93gJALpMIFp6sO1ebJ0XEYYY7vUAAY9bukoyA/s1600/IMG_9098.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikdGdbRovokTa6MiBP9qjYH7PyyPBHpAIjjoKFqkkbZxS5y3Yq6fnase6xXUdkiOw9_h9NaLwD2wC0prB5htnuPIBZqbo3IRrx3srIKO93gJALpMIFp6sO1ebJ0XEYYY7vUAAY9bukoyA/s640/IMG_9098.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
I am in love with this bag and I am pretty sure that after my trip I am going to find a way to use it on a regular basis. Also, now that I have used up this fabric I need to hurry and get more before I have an anxiety attack. It is definitely one of my all time favorites.<br />
<br />
I hope your week is going well!<br />

I was feeling in a festive mood, for once, and I thought making some trick or treat bags might be fun. I am pretty happy with the way they turned out. Not sure how many of these I will make since it is a holiday thing, but they sure were fun!<br />

Down, down, down I go. This mostly happens with books, tv shows on Netflix, or in this case a new craft or technique. More specifically, screen printing. Words cannot express how deeply I have fallen for this newly learned craft. I love that I can use it in conjunction with my sewing. I love for my projects to tell a story, and before I had done this with embroidery. Whether it be a favorite quote or nursery rhyme, or just simple thoughts in my head. I love adding them to my projects to create something one of a kind and more "me".<br />

A few weeks ago I came across a pin that lead me to this post on <a href="http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2012/08/diy-iron-on-typographic-tote-bag.html">How About Orange</a>. I really really loved the idea of the bag, but I had worked with the iron-on transfers before and hadn't really had good luck with them. Also I didn't want to use just a generic canvas bag that you can pick up at your local craft supply. I new that I could upgrade the bag myself just by sewing up a simple interfaced linen tote and adding a fun lining to it. But figuring out how to get the words on there was a little more challenging. So I did a little more research and found this <a href="http://www.lilblueboo.com/2009/12/screen-printing-101-photo-emulsion.html">tutorial</a> and thought that maybe it could work. I enlisted the <a href="http://www.bijoulovelydesigns.com/">help</a> of <a href="http://sometimescrafter.blogspot.com/">some</a> <a href="http://www.tinysea.net/">friends</a> for the graphics and I set out on a mission to try something new. And here are the results.<br />

I knew I wanted to make them geeky, of course. So I relayed my ideas to my counterparts and they generously contributed their artwork. I try not to make anything I wouldn't use myself so I pulled my inspiration from some of my favorite geeky things.<br />

I am SO thrilled the results!!! And since I have started, the flood gates have been opened and ideas keep popping into my head. So you can expect to see a lot more screen printed projects here. I am working on some new screens this weekend and I seem to have ordered my weight in essex linen. So hopefully next week will bring some fun things!<br />
<br />
If you are interested in making one of my bags your own, I have some listed in the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheCraftJunky">shop</a>.<br />

So, promptly after writing my last post, the plague broke out at my house. Ugh. So frustrating when the same illness just keeps circulating through the household over and over. We are all on the mend now, mostly. So now I can give you all the nitty, gritty details on Dragon*Con!<br />

Two words my friends, HOLY COW! This event was unbelievable! Never have I seen so many weird, crazy, awesome, and questionable things in one place before. It was really all overwhelming to say the least. There is NO way that I could go over everything that we did, or that I even remember everything that we did for that matter. But I thought I would go over the highlights.<br />
<br />
Friday was the first day and we, or at least I, was not expecting the sheer amount of people and events to choose from. Yes, I had the paper schedule, and yes I had things all planned out on my Dragon*Con app, but it still got me. I admit I had a bit of a panic attack. So we spent most of Friday wandering around aimlessly, trying to get our bearings and figure out exactly where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do. The next two days were better, I think because we knew what to expect and we were getting the hang of things.<br />
<br />
We ended up taking all sorts of photos of other Dragon*con attendees who we dressed up in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosplay">cosplay</a> and boy did we have some explaining to do to the girls with some of those get ups. As far as they were concerned, walking around in public in your underwear is a no-no.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, my photo skills are a bit lacking so most of the pics came out burry, but I chose the best from the bunch just so you can see some of the cool things that were there.<br />

So the truth about Dragon*Con, is that it is completely amazing! and I can;t wait until next year. I fully intend on participating in the cosplay this time. But not in my undies. The world isn;t ready for that yet. :)<br />

So with the hustle and bustle of the kids going back to school, things have been a bit nutso lately. But rest assured, there has been a bunch of sewing going on. First and foremost is this,<br />

My very first tutorial is up on <a href="http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2012/09/sewing-basics-zippy-pouches/#.UEYHV81e8no">Sew Mama Sew</a>!!! I am so excited! So head on over there and check it out along with all of the other awesome tutorials they have over there.<br />
<br />
I have been going back and forth with the idea of releasing a pattern/tutorial here on the blog. I have been playing around with this idea for a while and a couple of weeks ago I finally was able to take the idea from paper and apply it to fabric.<br />

And then my brainy wheels got to turning. I have custom ordered from Mab before. Last year before Christmas she did one of her portrait cameo necklaces of my girls for me.<br />

So anyways, sorry got sidetracked there, I decided to ask her if she wouldn't mind doing another necklace, similar to the freak one, but something more my style. Being the sweet gal that she is, she said yes and had it done in a couple of days!<br />
