I love Etsy. Whenever I get bored, I’m usually window shopping there. So much creativity in one place! Also a lot of really crappy stuff, but I’ll leave the commentary on those items to Regretsy (another site I spend a lot of time on when I’m bored). This week while looking [...]

So there’s this kid, right? And he is awesome. Like super awesome. This dude loves robots, so his parents asked for a robot cake. I was more than happy to oblige!

Ignore that stick coming out of the top of his head. It was just for extra stabilization for the [...]

I’ve made a foray into amigurumi recently. I have an idea for a huge project for after I finish working on The Gearheart, but I’ve gotta design some amigurumi for it. It’s a lot harder than it looks! I have made a head (whoopty doo, it’s just a ball) and I’ve been [...]

Now this quilt is for REAL [...]

In school we were taught that cotton is king, however, in part of my world, contact paper is king. I grew up with a very crafty mother that sewed, painted, bejeweled, and used everyday things to make things for me. I wanted a GI Joe headquarters, what I got instead was a bunch of shoe [...]

Hello everyone!
In case you can’t recognize the…uh…well I guess there aren’t any distinguishing features on the Internet, now are there? Well at any rate I’m Ashley,  sometimes known as Ash, long-time friend of Alex (of The Gearheart fame) and our favorite scientist of domesticology.  Oh, and also ridiculously huge fan of the professor.

I just got the most WONDERFULLY awesome comment on the Guitar Hero Scarf entry. I can’t even really prepare you for the awesomeness that is to come, so I’ll just let Elizabeth tell you what she told me:
