bare maked skip to main skip to sidebar sunday march 17 2013 going abroad as of april 12th i m headed over to europe for a year with my partner peter time for some travel and a chance to experience living in a foreign country going to get out of our usual routine and go out into the world a bit we re very excited and nervous i will of course be taking some craft supplies with me but i m not sure how much crafting i ll actually do so this blog might go on a hiatus or it might get really busy who knows feel free to follow my adventures over at my regular blog www burritowest ca blog html one project i ve been meaning to post is about my crochet cowl this is a repeat of a project i did previously and loved except this time i held a strand of reflective 3m tape along with the yarn hoping to get a reflective cowl living in walkable vancouver means i m always on foot and i tend to wear dark clothing which makes me worry a bit about how visible i am so i m always thinking of ways i can increase visibility without looking like a high viz safety nerd here s the cowl in normal light and here s a terrible photo of it sideways using the flash on my camera to give an idea of what it looks like when light hits it directly the unreflective inch on the end was to make sure the bit hitting my chin wouldn t be itchy no idea if it lights up noticeably when i m out and about at night and car lights hit me need to ask the divers but it s cute regardless so success posted by lisa at 8 40 pm 0 comments labels crochet experiment monday october 22 2012 my kind of diy video i love video tutorials as much as the next crafter but sometimes i m not really into making a specific thing project as much as i want to really properly understand how to do a thing why certain things work the way they do if i can get that bit then i can usually figure out the rest that s why i m excited about this proposed idea by kim werker and ben z cooper to produce a series of tutorials that focus on the fundamentals of various kinds of skills except that makes it sound boring and i know kim so i know it won t be boring it ll be awesome their goal is to arm us all with the confidence that comes from understanding enough about something to figure out what questions to ask next that is a powerful thing if you re into this kind of thing then please join me in contributing to their campaign to raise enough funds for a pilot season kim explains it far better than i do posted by lisa at 2 25 pm 0 comments friday october 19 2012 craft fair blim market heritage hall main st 15th ave noon 5pm i ll be working a table at the blim market on sunday oct 21 the organizers and vancouverisawesome com give away a table for free to a group doing something awesome i told them about my greeting card project to raise funds for animal rescues and i got the oct table yay if you re in vancouver please drop by i ll have the greeting cards and other cool maked stuff with all proceeds split between homefinders animal rescue and katie s place animal shelter posted by lisa at 1 59 pm 0 comments labels fairs monday october 01 2012 cats kittens in support of cats kittens when i started getting the super lovely photos from my volunteer photographers for orphan animal pics i quickly realized that i needed to do something with these great photos besides post them on the internet i figured there had to be a fundraising idea there somewhere i mean cute photos of kittens are a surefire win right my general approach to fundraising is to find things people buy anyway and create a product they can get from me instead this is how i came to operate a mini corner store out of a filing cabinet at work selling my co workers food at outrageously high prices to raise money for animal rescues nearest store is 5 7min away my co workers are all very busy people lots of for charity this time i m trying greeting cards i ve got 4 designs 2 birthday 1 holiday christmas and one blank all occasion the proceeds from all of the cards will go to animal rescues in around vancouver homefinders animal rescue katie s place animal shelter since their cats are featured on the cards this time if you re the sort of person who sends cards and these tickle your fancy or might tickle the fancy of a recipient please consider buying a few of them my hope is that this print run sells out and i can do more designs all the cards are posted in my etsy shop please feel free to share the link widely let s raise some for these great rescue groups there are 2 birthday cards featuring adorable kittens funny cards 1 blank card and 1 holiday card that should make you chuckle posted by lisa at 6 19 pm 1 comments sunday september 23 2012 soap it s that time of year where peter and i make soap cold process this time we re planning 2 projects one is the base go to soap that peter loves modification of this recipe and the other will be something new i get to pick we did our usual soap first and it went well it s sitting on top of our fridge setting up just have to wait a few weeks before we can test it out what i wanted to share this time around was 1 what we use instead of fancy soap molds and 2 where do you get lye in vancouver 1 i dream of a wooden loaf mold but we make soap once a year and we get by without it and i have a zillion craft supplies so i m trying to refrain from buying this one i do check craigslist for it every now and then though shhh so we just line boxes with freezer paper and fill those instead our favorite box is one of those ones you get from the dollar store they re very sturdy and pretty too 2 when we first wanted to make soap we were drowning in oils i had purchased someone s supply and had no lye i searched the internet and could not find where to buy lye in vancouver i think possibly you can t buy it in vancouver proper but we found two places in the surrounding area galloways in richmond and cranberry lane in port coquitlam richmond so there you go if you re in vancouver looking for lye they have it posted by lisa at 9 47 pm 0 comments labels crafting tuesday september 18 2012 lip balm finally a while back i purchased via craigslist the soap beauty making supply stash of someone who had had kids and sadly decided it was going to be a while before she had time and space to do things like make soap or anything else at the time i was just looking for basic soap making supplies but for a steal i got all that and a pile of essential oils and tons of other supplies i actually had to research what some of this stuff was for the huge quantity of beeswax i soon learned was for lip balms so i ve been meaning to try making some for ages the internet says it s easy which is nice tonight i finally did it i started with a base recipe and modified it slightly according to the general guide here i can t tell you if i like this product yet but if i don t i have enough supplies to make approximately 2853 pots of lip balm so i can probably do another batch i ll let you know and the internet was right this was stupidly easy frankly finding the lip balm pots was the hardest part daiso posted by lisa at 9 39 pm 0 comments labels crafting monday september 10 2012 fashion mod help i just found this dress in a thrift shop 8 and had to get it because she skirt portion is this lovely printed velvet however i m not so into the gold metallic ruched top also it s currently strapless unless i hunt down some straps to hook onto the loops and i prefer my clothing to have straps my short term plan is to wear it with a short cardi over the top hide the gold but i d love advice inspiration photos for permanent alterations to make the dress a bit more classic and a bit less disco there is a time and place for shiny metallic fabric i just don t think it s on top of a lovely velvet skirt i d love a new black top portion to this something with straps the tricky part is that the dress has a side zipper that goes through the gold fabric so actually removing the gold replacing it will be tricky my sewing skills especially re alterations are pretty weak all ideas suggestions are welcome also yay for thrift store finds posted by lisa at 7 58 pm 0 comments labels sewing monday september 03 2012 things you might like a list of random things you might find cool or useful juniper moon farm blog this awesome blog chronicles the adventures of running a fibre farm everything from sheep of the day profiles to the anticipation of waiting for lambs cows puppies goats to be born shearing yarn dyeing you name it and all with a great sense of humour juniper moon takes the food csa concept and applies it to yarn this is one of the blogs i check every day i have a thing for reading very old books on etiquette and instructional books for young women on how to be proper ladies it s so fascinating so of a different world people are digitizing craft patterns cooking books from previous eras how about dressmaking made easy from 1919 or woman as decoration from 1920 check out the chapter establish habits of carriage which create good line or the ladies worktable book containing clear and practical instructions in plain and fancy needlework embroidery knitting netting and crochet from 1845 less craft related but still very interesting the ladies vase or polite manual for young ladies from 1849 with chapters on behaviour to gentlemen and conversation or from 1785 essays on various subjects principally designed for young ladies it s endlessly fascinating make your own sewing desk with your machine flush mounted this diy project caught my eye this couple took an ikea desk and with a little diy ingenuity and power tools turned it into a fantastic sewing table with the machine mounted underneath it s virtually impossible to find a sewing table that is modern attractive so this seems like a great idea modern macrame project i ve never done macrame before but am tempted to by this project with tutorial for these stunning modern bracelets aren t these fabulous posted by lisa at 12 44 pm 0 comments labels sharing saturday september 01 2012 crochet i ve been spending a lot of my spare time doing cat photos as part of my orphan animal photos project so crafting has taken a hiatus except that crafting never fully takes a hiatus i went on a short trip to vancouver island to do some camping walking through rainforests and in my downtime i crocheted a hat it wouldn t be a vacation if i didn t have some kind of craft project on hand i recently got my hair cut short again and i sometimes fail to blow dry it right away my thinking is i can pop on this hat and my hair will dry reasonably flat even when i m too lazy to blow dry we ll see how that goes in any case it never hurts to have more cute hats around the pattern is available here free i used some random unlabeled yarn from my stash i love that the colour of the hat so perfectly matches the rainforests i ve been wandering around posted by lisa at 11 37 am 0 comments labels crochet fiber friday july 06 2012 orphan cats my latest creative endeavour doesn t involve beads or fabric although it did involve yarn at one point it was another photo shoot of shelter cats part of my ongoing project to work with talent photographers to get great photos of homeless animals to spruce up their online profiles and help catch someone s eye and heart so they get adopted this time around it was a photo shoot with cindy from muddy love pet photography we had a fantastic time and the photos she sent afterwards made me so happy i know one of the things the volunteers at rescues struggle with is getting photos that show the animals as the really are beautiful and unique and wonderful cindy really made these cats shine to help capture the work being done by these volunteer photographers i put together a website with some photo galleries it s still a work in progress but i m pretty pleased with it please check it out let me know what you think now my task is finding some new websites vancouver area that are willing to post these great photos along with the animal profile so we can get these creatures some exposure if you have any suggestions please comment and if you have space in your home and life for an animal i really encourage you to adopt from a local rescue there are so many wonderful animals waiting for homes if you can t take on an animal permanently consider signing up to be a foster home for a local rescue group all the fun of a pet none of the long term commitment coming soon a progress update on my epic
