this blog rocks!

stickers and donuts.

speaking of blogs!

my to-do list (i.e. adding more content for your enjoyment):

1)re-do knitting needle sizing chart to include crochet needles.
2)update tanpopo craft's library with new titles including isbn.
3)add new content, such as downloadables.
4)merge my food blog with this one, cuz maintaining more than one is uh...HARD.

kusudama update!

i finished the kusudama ball, but i ran out of my loctite gel glue. elmer's glue does not cut it here! i need better glue.

kusudama!
i made this today, using post-it notes! woohoo! using the instructions here:
the peace of paper - origami flowers-kusudama flowers link via curbly.com. the flower is a little shabby since it is my first. it wasn't behaving as i was glueing it together and kept popping open. my main mistake was using a gluestick which wasn't holding properly. you are supposed to using paper glue, like Elmer's or something.

then, i remembered i had liquid clear glue, but the applicator was broken and had a tendency to leak. i had to pour some out on a little jar lid and use a toothpick to apply the glue. this time it worked to stay.
i'm going to attempt an entire kusudama ball.

i love craftzine, but dang it, 14.99 an issue. o_O i guess it's archival and meant to be with you forever. and another mag, readymade...at $19.00 for 1-yr subscription (6 issues) is a little bit more affordable.
