February 2005

Wednesday, February 16, 2005 Kindess For Your Eyes Last Friday, I was on a mission to make my sister's birthday gift. I made her a keen pair of square pants out of this fabric: They turned out beautifully, but I didn't get a decent picture of the pants. With the left over fabric, I made four eye pillows. Oh, they are so soft and lovely. I made the covers out of the cotton stripe with zippers on the top. I even clipped off the zipper phlange to make it safer, substituting ribbon. Then I sewn cotton inserts filled with flaxseed. Just enough to be cool and heavy, Just enough that they still drape over your eyes.

CafePress has featured my CafePress shop on their Wire!. Look right, under Featured Shop, number 8! Excellent. If you haven't seen my CafePress offerings in awhile, please browse. Lots of new designs lately, including the superkickass Friends of Loosetooth.com cookbook! posted on 10:35 PM Saturday, February 05, 2005 Chicago Craft Mafia Is Born! Last night was the launch party for the Chicago Craft Mafia. A slew of people came out to Tojo Gallery to eat, drink, shop and be merry. Huge, huge turnout, super energy to kick off this new endeavor. A Big Thank You to those who joined us! A view of my terribly symmetrical display. It was tough to whittle down my display to one table. But the symmetry comforted me. Tongue antics between Leah and I. It was documentation of my wide tongue and her long tongue. When she got too close with that hers, things went awry. posted on 10:18 AM Friday, February 04, 2005 Covert Goes Overt Tomorrow night is the launch of a new business endeavor, the Chicago Craft Mafia. The launch party's cover was blown by a totally unexpected mention in the Chicago Reader, front page section 2. Hello Chicago! posted on 1:13 AM
