Text of the page (random words):
nny we spent a good 10 minutes laughing at that jay s antics caw caw recently nova played the episode about black holes at the center of the galaxy and the wonderment of scientists finding proof that there was evidence of black holes at the center of most galaxies i was really exhausted with hurting that night so i went to bed in the middle of it rambling as mike tucked me in about the silliness of the scientists being so surprised i said it makes sense because of the orbits and stuff that the universe operates on gravity which isn t very well understood it s the power of suck he kissed my forehead and said go to sleep shala so i asked william william why does the moon orbit earth gravity why does the earth orbit the sun gravity at this point he s giving that mom you re crazy but i ll humor you look okay galaxies rotate the sun and other stars rotate what s in the middle of the galaxy probably a black hole see he s not a scientist but given the givens he thought it made sense that a black hole was in the middle of it all and i was right it s the power of suck or gravity i m crocheting nunchaku which led to a very silly conversation i mentioned that i was sizing them for myself i looked up the standard dimensions for traditional nunchaku the cord should cross the palm with just enough for the sticks to hang over the sides and the stick parts should be long enough when held to protect the forearms mike said they are crocheted they will not protect your forearm and i said yes but i have to size them to someone and my hands and arms are the smallest and i want them to be as accurate as possible they are soft plushie nunchaku not weapons but they could be i could fill them with steel shot and practice the subtle art of chet pronounced shay like the end of crochet mike you re being silly oh i m so sorry working on crocheted nunchaku pattern will be available when i finish them cupcake box sized for a standard cupcake will be posted soon tutorial for reading a peyote bead graph on deck article on shaping peyote around objects with gorgeous examples by miss teri and some sort of ogala butterfly project everyone who won the drawing postcards will be mailed tomorrow sorry about the lateness last week was really really hard for me physically by shala kerrigan posted on sunday august 30 2009 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tags family silliness thursday august 27 2009 circle skirt waist template anyway you know how to make circle skirts right there are a ton of tutorials on the web one of my favorites for bellydance skirts and my all time favorite way to make circle skirts is out of tablecloths no hemming that very long diameter you can find wipster s great tutorial here i m not reinventing the wheel or any other form of circle i made myself a template to make the circles for the waistband with though like any other sewing it s a guideline and you will probably want to modify it some for your perfect fit and it s at 2 inch increments just remember if you re making a skirt with a zipper finished waist band instead of an elastic waistband take off more in tiny amounts it doesn t take much to completely ruin it a 25 inch increase in diameter can make a huge difference in the final waist band like if you use the 36 inch waistband and decide when you re fitting it s a bit snug trimming off a 1 4 inch around the circle makes it a little over 37 inches do account for seam allowances but by extending the edges not by making a bigger circle also these are not exact i rounded up but not so high up i went up an inch in size there is between a 4 and 6 inch difference between the stated sizes and what they actually are when you cut them that s 4 or 6 not minus it s a quarter circle template so you ll want to either place it on a fold or use the template to make a newspaper pattern that s a whole or half circle if you are making one with an elastic waist measure at the hips and cut that circle earlier this summer a craft mag had this brilliant idea of using round table cloths i love the idea so much because they are already hemmed of course this only works if you want a length that can be accommodated by one of the standard sizes for round table cloths to figure length it s the radius of the total circle radius of the waist here s a quick run down of the radii that i used in inches d for diameter r for radius 50 16 d 8 r 48 15 5 d 7 75 r 46 14 8 d 7 4 r 44 14 2 d 7 1 r 42 13 5 d 6 75 r 40 12 9 d 6 45 r 38 12 20 d 6 1 r 36 11 6 d 5 8 r 34 11 d 5 5 r so a 70 inch diameter round table cloth would make a skirt 35 inches r of waistband which on me would be a nice longer skirt okay enough with that it s in pdf format set up for american paper sizes i have it for a4 paper too but it seems kind of silly to post that since i did all my figuring in inches and the places that use a4 paper are too sensible to use inches the template by shala kerrigan posted on

recently posted a project on bellaonline com for a pair of seed bead fractal earrings one of my favorites is a sierpinski sieve there is also a square version called a sierpinski carpet anyway on to the printable i drew the carpet first then built the box out of the carpet tiles so it s an off size to most of my templates i hope you like it as usual with the printable click on the images for the

i post closer to halloween but here s a circle closed box with one of those patterns on it i hope you like it click on the images for the full sized version i m also planning boxes that will fit standard cupcakes soon but these plans are postponed for just a bit because i can t find my cupcake tins don t even ask it has to do with the longest kitchen re model in history so i m going to pick up some awful grocery store cupcakes tonight to get the measurements off of at least with 2 teenagers they will get eaten the kids may think homemade are best but they are perfectly willing to eat the store bought ones with the nasty shortening frosting by shala kerrigan posted on tuesday august 25 2009 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tags boxes favor box gift box printables saturday august 22 2009 flower circle tags right click and choose save target as the pdf file here which has 4 of each design the wild roses forget me nots and daisies they are 300 dpi and print out beautifully i used a 2 inch circle punch to cut them out first i cut the 3 strips of tags so the edges were close enough to fit in my punch then turned my punch over to get the design centered there is some bleed so you ve got a bit of leeway you can either use double sided tape to stick them to things or you can use a regular sized hole punch to punch a hole in them tie them to things i ve already got some ideas for halloween tags but that s still a bit off the earrings in the picture i posted a similar pattern to the alien pair with a tutorial on beading in brick stitch here you can buy the cherry pie and chocolate covered strawberry patterns in my etsy shop here for 5 00 usd and the pattern set includes the 2 pairs shown chocolate chip cookies ice cream cones

printables tags wild rose thursday august 20 2009 root beer by request well at this point you all know i don t measure except for all of you like bread recipes 80 of the time i go into the kitchen and just start baking the other 20 i try to keep track because i m trying something new that i plan to blog which is also how i crochet laughs i can make it from scratch but that s a lot of work so usually i use the bottles of extract you can buy any good brewing supply house our family favorite is homebrew birch root beer extract what we did when we first started making our own root beers at home was buy 3 or 4 bottles of root beer extract at the local brewing place and then we mixed it with a bit of simple table sugar into sparkling water to taste it and decide which one we liked best that one won hands down your mileage may vary while you re there pick up a sanitizer a one step sanitizer for bottles doesn t cost much and you know your reused bottles are really clean alternately you can use a bit of bleach and water then rinse out really well you ll need 1 2 liter empty soda bottle 1 tbs root beer extract comes in 2 oz bottles one bottle is enough for 3 or 4 batches 1 c sweetener of choice maple sugar birch syrup sugar a simple sugar or mix or sweeten to taste generally we do a cup of sugar and a quarter cup of maple sugar or birch syrup which are both expensive but so yummy 2 tbs vanilla 1 4 teaspoon of yeast you can use a champagne yeast also from the brewing supply place for a less yeast flavor but since we buy yeast for bread in bulk we just use that it does make the drink yeastier but we like the flavor most recipes using extract call for making a lot but we are a family of 4 that doesn t drink much soda so we scaled the recipe back a lot recipes usually call for something like 6 cups of sugar 4 gallons of water uh huh no plus it calls for boiling the water and sugar to create a simple syrup my method isn t as fussy and professional it s quick and easy and everyone in my family likes it use a funnel to put the sugar in the bottle sprinkle in the yeast then add the wet ingredients half fill the bottle with water we have a filter on our sink so we just use filtered water shake it up well to dissolve the sugar and yeast fill to the neck and shake it well put the bottle some place warm for 24 hours this is the scary part the yeast acts on the sugar and ferments causing the carbonation the carbonation can burst the bottle it s never happened for me but i live in alaska so warm is about 70 degrees at best usually so check it you check for doneness by pushing the side of the bottle with your thumb when you first fill the bottle the plastic will give a bit under your thumb but after the carbonation occurs there is more pressure and the bottle will be firm and not give pop in the fridge to stop fermentation this method does create a trace amount of alcohol in the finished drink not enough to worry about but full disclosure right if you want to know about making it completely from scratch i really love homemade root beer soda pop it s got a mix of modern recipes and old recipes carefully transcribed plus a lot about the history of soda making in the us good book the kids love it made from extract and i always give e choices when we do a bottle do you want to try maple syrup in it how much vanilla and she has a blast drinking soda she helped make and has ever since we started of course i ve noticed since we made the fifth of double strength vanilla she wants vanilla in everything possible at least she s not trying to grab the bottle to use as perfume like my best friend is for diabetics and other people sugar restricted this method needs the sugar to cause the carbonation it s the feeding action of the yeast i m going to try seeing how much i can reduce the sugar and still get carbonation but in the mean time if you want to make your own root beer i recommend using the tasting method we used to test the extracts get some sparkling water and add in splenda or whatever you choose plus the other flavorings and just make soda in the amounts you ll drink immediately it might help to keep a mix of splenda extract vanilla in the fridge and just spoon what you want in each glass a touch of maple extract will give you the maple flavor also my husband used to be a soda junkie he gave it up but he s found a teaspoon of root beer extract in a glass of sparkling water that s icy cold is just fine for him he likes the flavor by shala kerrigan posted on thursday august 20 2009 0 comments email this blogthis

along with this happy little animation they were inspired by watching the nova episode hunting the hidden dimension for the second time last night with my husband i love nova he really loves nova it s

august 16 2009 stuffed magazine and kokeshi dolls while i was out having coffee with miss teri friday night i picked up the second issue of stuffed magazine by stampington and company the same wonderful company that does somerset studio it s wonderful the sort of high quality photography you expect from this company and the projects are lovely and artistic there are a lot that are just pure inspiration and the techniques are varied there are hand sewn dolls and a pattern for a coraline type doll that just thrilled my daughter and amigurumi that made me very happy sock dolls and furry monsters it s a great magazine if you are into making stuffies and really who isn t i think i must make myself a coraline style mini me in amigurumi news i m working on a pattern for a base for a momiji style amigurumi you know all the japanese words i know are craft related ideally i ll take notes so i can post the pattern for a simple doll form that will have a channel in the bottom that you can put rolled notes into i could do it for cards but i think rolled notes will be easier momiji are secret message dolls they are shaped a lot like kokeshi dolls and have a space in the bottom for a wee note speaking of kokeshi dolls blank kokeshi can be a little expensive but miss teri found a dowel cap and doll form combination that s got great proportions for beading kokeshi style dolls i didn t get the packaging from her on friday to find out what exactly she got that fit together that perfectly but i will ask the dowel caps make perfect really big cute heads don t they you could paint them or wood burn them or use thread crochet to cover them or do what i m planning and bead them like my little ninja ...
