Kayak trip cancelled due to perfect weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The forecast called for rain and the trip required earlier than normal waking. So when I did finally wake up and saw the forecast was wrong, the weather was perfect and we cancelled the trip for no reason, it was too late to get moving. </div>

Anyhoo, my lack of indigo dyed linen led to me making a bunch of silly looking piles of fabric under my smallest square to try and find something that worked. This one is dyed light blue with indigo but has a print on it which might be distracting.</div>

I often get a different view of something after posting it here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The extra fabric I pick will also show up here and there between squares to make them fit together. I'll let you know what I pick. Either I make a point of it all being blue or I have another color peeking out here and there. </div>

My life is changing. Not in a bad way, at all. I'm not done blogging either. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just have to figure how it all will fit together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been having tons of fun. I've started a website for our business. I'm actually really proud of it because I know NOTHING about coding. It was very confusing and weird but it doesn't look completely embarrassing. </div>

There's still more for me to do but at least it's a start. </div>

Yesterday, my daughter and I went to a "Drawing Jam" run by <a href="http://thenearsightedmonkey.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Lynda Barry</a>, who is amazing.</div>

I STILL haven't finished the last square of my quilt top but I'm close, just as close as I was last time I posted. Today I finish our chicken coop, tomorrow I kayak. </div>

I love learning new stuff!! <br />

A great and messy day was had by all. We plan on offering an indigo dyeing class this fall in Madison WI. You can follow us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Rusted-Thread/172643172765999?ref=hl" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and/or <a href="https://twitter.com/RustedThread" target="_blank">Twitter</a> to get an announcement closer to the date if you're interested. <br />
<br />
Now get out there and make a creative mess. I will too. I'm gonna finish that quilt top, dang it!</div>

I only need to make one more log cabin square to call this ready, Freddy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Making it into a quilt top, though, takes more time than you might think. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's because I don't make each square a certain size, I just sew them together until they are around about the same size. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--C6Mm2sSLYU/UecBSxke80I/AAAAAAAAHMQ/vm2IoiRj-ic/s1600/IMG_1083.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--C6Mm2sSLYU/UecBSxke80I/AAAAAAAAHMQ/vm2IoiRj-ic/s320/IMG_1083.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I sew the squares together, I often have to add a strip here and there. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gHz-DdI2U7M/UecCdsrIUoI/AAAAAAAAHPQ/RkbBRHvHULc/s1600/IMG_1061.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gHz-DdI2U7M/UecCdsrIUoI/AAAAAAAAHPQ/RkbBRHvHULc/s320/IMG_1061.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I could cut the squares down but then I'd lose so much of my precious squares and I would be sad. </div>

I've made some slow but good progress on my indigo quilt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Making up a quilt as I go along makes me so happy. I thought I'd just walk through it here because, for some odd reason, people tend to be a little intimidated by the process.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b5UaWRv49F0/UecCUaTs2UI/AAAAAAAAHOQ/BokalQpkhSQ/s1600/IMG_1054.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b5UaWRv49F0/UecCUaTs2UI/AAAAAAAAHOQ/BokalQpkhSQ/s320/IMG_1054.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First I cut up some fabric (duh).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz-rvMfqDABoMudaAR17wqxDcbQSyc0z2xRbBF9F9Fc48zKopjuK-mvBMRZA7p9MHKvrFFJ7ya7anyLZk2hity3nvJl2GKy-DPOApjJRbLPw-UM25YHMzilp54dG65WE54Shj1eDWyP1vJ/s1600/IMG_1085.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz-rvMfqDABoMudaAR17wqxDcbQSyc0z2xRbBF9F9Fc48zKopjuK-mvBMRZA7p9MHKvrFFJ7ya7anyLZk2hity3nvJl2GKy-DPOApjJRbLPw-UM25YHMzilp54dG65WE54Shj1eDWyP1vJ/s320/IMG_1085.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I pick a satisfying shape. I like me some diagonals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-29jDDuNv71U/UecBXXcyk_I/AAAAAAAAHMw/DvBRB6yRb9Q/s1600/IMG_1086.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-29jDDuNv71U/UecBXXcyk_I/AAAAAAAAHMw/DvBRB6yRb9Q/s320/IMG_1086.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I add a piece to one side. I usually pick the diagonal edge because then I can work the panel towards being sort of a square by the time I'm finished with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chop chop to even it up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I kind of cheat by just grabbing a piece of fabric that is larger than I need so that I can cut it down to size later. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love to use all the little scraps and so I don't feel like I'm wasting fabric.</div>

Right sides together and line 'em up. No, I don't pin unless I really have to.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I iron all the seams open as I go along. I love ironing linen. It can really take the heat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here's some more bits about to be added on to a square that's already pretty far along. When I pick my little pieces, I always make them longer than they really need to be.</div>

I just thought I'd add this one last picture. I take great pains to make sure that my seams don't line up. One always slips by me though. I've made 10 squares. I need to make one more and then I can sew them together. I've been so busy that I haven't been able to commit my regular loony amount of time quilting. But when I do, I have a blast!</div>

I remember once telling a friend of mine that I had figured out how to make quilting go really fast. Then I realized that I didn't actually speed up the process, I was just enjoying myself so much that time was flying. </div>

This is from where the rebar touched the fabric. I like this part, too. We're going to find some larger tubes to wrap fabric around so that more of the fabric gets color. We're thinking wine bottles or large pvc tubes. Stay tuned.</div>

Also, it took more than 24 hours because we moved the rusty pieces around to different parts of fabrics to dye more of it. The difference between vinegar and salt was only in the smell. I didn't see a difference. </div>

We learned a ton. We'll be trying this out again maybe on a smaller scale. I laid out a tarp in the driveway and it took up lots of space. Jennifer came up with the idea of just putting a piece in a plastic bin. We could always have a piece rusting if we chose to. It takes up less space and probably wouldn't stain the drive way. Oh yeah, I stained the driveway. </div>

I'm thrilled to be rusting this shirt. It's an Alabama Chanin design that I made with an old tee-shirt. It fits me really well but I stopped sewing at this point when I saw the very light but also really big stain on the front. Oh, that's why that shirt was in the thrift shop. So I'm rusting over the stain here, fingers crossed.</div>

I decided to sew napkins yesterday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-afKjK8HszaU/UbnfQYORVKI/AAAAAAAAGjI/ANsi867xpEM/s1600/IMG_0924.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-afKjK8HszaU/UbnfQYORVKI/AAAAAAAAGjI/ANsi867xpEM/s400/IMG_0924.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I figured they needed the largest bit of uninterrupted fabric. Everything else that I'm itching to make (quilts, bags, journal covers) can be put together with scraps. I guess napkins could too but they I think the fewer seams they have the better. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">They were already folded up in the napkin basket when I took these pictures. That's why they're all wrinkly</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made five napkins. Once I settled on what to make, it went pretty fast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Top half was a shirt - see the darts? I unstitched them after dying. I think they look pretty cool. The bottom half was a skirt panel with embroidery. I french seamed the two together.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I should tell you that we are big cloth napkin users. We don't even own paper napkins. I grew up using paper towels but only if needed - like with ribs. Usually, we just used our sleeves. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband grew up with paper napkins. He used several per meal. It took us some time to find the middle ground of cloth napkins. They are very handy and you can take them anywhere. These are our first linen napkins and we feel pretty fancy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Small napkins work well too. </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We really like using cloth napkins now. We keep them in a basket near the table so we can grab them as needed. Our napkin basket is a real hodgepodge. We actually still have some napkins from out wedding (20 years this summer). There are lots and lots of napkins that I've sewn over the years and none of them really match. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XY7-umQoYeA/UbnfVRpqGMI/AAAAAAAAGi8/nVM2S_lk2KU/s1600/IMG_0930.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XY7-umQoYeA/UbnfVRpqGMI/AAAAAAAAGi8/nVM2S_lk2KU/s400/IMG_0930.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Since this had been a shirt, it wasn't quite big enough to cut out so I just left out a corner. Everything I dyed had been thrifted, that's how we ended up with these big blotches when we dyed them. I don't know what they were dirty with, some kind of oil probably, and the wax didn't take there. All part of the adventure.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a huge fan of the random and find things that are too consistent looking to be annoying. I can accept that about myself as part of my aesthetic now, instead of a weird quirk. It's just who I am. So, with that in mind, the napkins I sewed yesterday are pretty random, in size, shape and patterns. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
They are Jennifer napkins.</div>

You know what I need? A sewing machine with an attached laptop. So I can blog, look at Pinterest, check Ravelry and listen to Podcasts while I sew - one action smoothly transitioning to the next without having to interrupt my flow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But my flow is temporarily interrupted for the best reason. I have wanted indigo dyed linen to play with since the first time I saw<a href="http://pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=boro%20quilts" target="_blank"> boro quilts</a> and fell in love with them. Now I have some and I can think of too many things to do and I want to do each one equally as much as the others.</div>

I want to make a traditional quilt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to make a small "art quilt" to hang.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to make some <a href="http://pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=pojagi" target="_blank">pogaji</a> with enclosed seams.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, napkins and a small bag and a journal cover.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to embroider on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These things aren't all mutually exclusive. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I could embroider a napkin or make a quilted journal cover.</div>

I want to make it all all at once. Kind of like how I want to surf the internet, sew and listen to stuff all at once. It's like this weird energy I'm stuck in right now. In the pause between paragraphs, I've been threading my sewing machine, gathering supplies, answering emails and making my plans. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To do everything at once. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What the hell, flow?</div>

I don't want to cast aspersions on your personal life, but I'm going to guess that I had more fun than you did on Friday. </div>

Jennifer and I dyed fabric with indigo!! It was awesome fun. I recommend it highly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NoKsrIY41xs/UbKJTP51wGI/AAAAAAAAGLQ/V4JgBcUyYl4/s1600/IMG_0797.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NoKsrIY41xs/UbKJTP51wGI/AAAAAAAAGLQ/V4JgBcUyYl4/s400/IMG_0797.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had some worrisome moments. The dye in the vat was supposed to be yellow-green looking but it wasn't. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kccI8jkzQ-8/UbKJT52S2EI/AAAAAAAAGLU/CH7SEk7M2Ko/s1600/IMG_0798.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kccI8jkzQ-8/UbKJT52S2EI/AAAAAAAAGLU/CH7SEk7M2Ko/s400/IMG_0798.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It looked pretty and blue. You'd think that would be right but it ain't. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jWFoSVadtvo/UbKJbm_GofI/AAAAAAAAGL4/zT59Lp0brWw/s1600/IMG_0803.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jWFoSVadtvo/UbKJbm_GofI/AAAAAAAAGL4/zT59Lp0brWw/s400/IMG_0803.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The blue of indigo results from the way it reacts when exposed to oxygen - it's supposed to happen to the fabric later when it comes out of the vat and hits the air. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We consulted the interwebs for advice.</div>

This was hard to do in the sun so there was some improvising. <br />
That's a Jennifer consulting her laptop under there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We added all of the oxygen removing chemicals that we bought along with warmer water, magic mojo juju grisgris to the indigo but it was still blue. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we figured something along the lines of "Screw it!". We removed the "flower" which is just a really nice word to use for scum. It's actually really pretty and iridescent - but scum nonetheless.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We threw some fabric in there. We started with a little silk scarf that came with the supplies we bought. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had tied it all up with string.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as we did, it broke through the blue surface and left this cool yellow/green star shape. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N0LSpwfyceo/UbKJme4x5qI/AAAAAAAAGNA/ARb2MxpEcsg/s1600/IMG_0811.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N0LSpwfyceo/UbKJme4x5qI/AAAAAAAAGNA/ARb2MxpEcsg/s400/IMG_0811.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were in business. It must just have been the surface of the indigo vat that was blue. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The indigo was perfect. It stunk up the joint - we were glad to be outside - but worked beautifully.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we pulled the scarf out, it was green but quickly turned a gorgeous blue. It felt like magic. Or maybe chemistry. Or magic chemistry. Yeah, that's it. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">It was the last photo they took before he broke into tears and ran out of the room yelling, "I hate you, I hate you all!" Her face hurt for a full week. </span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">At first blush, you might want to place the blame on the photographer. He was unrelenting in his pursuit of the biggest possible smiles. He cajoled, yelled, laughed manically all while taunting their, at least to his eye, dour expressions. </span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">The day had started off on a pleasant note. Surely, this couldn't take more than an hour or two. They were consummate professionals. This was not their first ride on the record cover photo shoot pony. Hell, they'd been cranking out records to the tune of two a year since joining Decca. </span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">But this time was different. The photographer had received news that if the smiles of the dancing couple weren't the biggest smiles on any record cover to date, he would lose his job. Even that wouldn't normally be enough to shake him, after all, the record cover photography business has always been cut throat. But on this day, the photographer had just incurred a huge gambling debt to Billy "The Knee Splitter" Johnson. Also his home wife has found out about his away wife. </span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">Actually, you could totally put the blame on the photographer. He was a real tool. There can be no surprise then that the photo session ended in tears and in two divorces and a hospital bill that would make anyone weep. It's surprising that it didn't have a worse end.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">You can enjoy this record, if you really want to, by turning the volume down. It's pretty boring and no one explained to me why a record of happy songs has "You Always Hurt The One You Love" on it, but has no skips that I heard. It's got a great picture and ridiculous title. If you need more reason than that to buy a vintage record off of the internet, how about the fun copy on the back that explains why the "growth in suburban living" has caused the rise of "happy music" or the great little pictures of other related re</span></div>

I got stuck for a bit at the ties because I knew what I wanted but I had never successfully made eyelets before. My business partner and I have spent a fair amount of time figuring the ins and outs of good apron ties. They can't just go around your neck - that pulls and is uncomfortable- they need to cross in back. </div>

Eyelets are not hard, it turns out. They are hard if you just grab some and start hammering them without knowing what you're doing. That's the technique I've been using for years. </div>

Today I checked <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uslIa0Ddtc" target="_blank">youtube</a> and learned that there's an actual technique and that I already owned all the right tools. How did we ever know things before the internet?</div>

So...BOOM...apron. I think next time I'd round the edges at the bottom. I do plan on making more. This is just a practice apron. I have some other apron ideas: I'd like to try a patchwork of canvas bags and also of denim and then make one out of linen ...</div>

Also, I found this when I was out shopping and put it right up on the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/RustedThreadLLP" target="_blank">Etsy shop.</a> How cute it that?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's totally cute but I think someone else should use it to make stuff or to watch or for some other purpose. I've got a pretty good eye for finding tidbits, though. Just not an idea of what to do with every kind of tidbit I find. They do tend to pile up sometimes.</div>

In any case. I paid $35 for both. At first, in my head, I thought of it as $10 for the top piece and $25 for the table. Once I got it home and got to know it better, it made me happier to think it was more of a $15 and $20 cut. I can't be happy if I think the top one cost me $20 because that's what they were asking. </div>

I want to add some regular printer paper, pretty paper, some cool looking pages and some random inspiring quotes and bind it all in there. I'm stuck at the quotes part. I know how I want them to look but I think the idea needs to marinate a little bit before I make my quote pages. I do have a <a href="http://pinterest.com/anotherjennifer/yes/" target="_blank">collection</a> of <a href="http://pinterest.com/rustedthread/thoughts-on-creativity/" target="_blank">quotes</a> in two separate Pinterest boards with content that overlaps quite a bit. </div>

It's so fun. That sounds a bit nutty, I hear it now. You should just go read them. I tried to tell a little story for each thing. Well, less so for the jewelry. Anyway, go and check it out and please let me know what you think.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With all that going on, I especially have been enjoying Habitually Chic: Creativity at Work because it's easy to read for reasons you'll see in the note below. It's pretty pictures of people's studios with inspiring quotes and interviews. </div>

This is my favorite quote from the book. </div>

My daughter, of course, shot it down right away. She closed her eyes and said:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Unicorns are real. I'm blonde and I live in New York." Opened her eyes, looked around, looked in the mirror and shrugged. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So literal.</div>

It's called a learning curve. We're in one. First, I'm on my third try at a<a href="http://alabamachanin.com/basic-tank-top" target="_blank"> tank top</a> ala Alabama Chanin (but my size). Somehow it's not quite perfect but I'm getting there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have gained a huge appreciation for wax paper. I copied the pattern onto wax paper and altering it is as easy as taping on more or cutting it up. Which is, in case you didn't know, really easy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't have a picture of the first try because it has already joined the rag pile. It was a bit small in the bust so I added a little triangle of wax paper to the front of the pattern. It also had too large of an arm opening. The side of my bra showed. That happens for me a lot with tank tops, It's so awesome just to be able to add a little wax paper to the pattern and voila: A shirt that's fit just for me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-uH5PQv_kQiE/UZjvYqYg1OI/AAAAAAAAFhs/5jXa_lzVXXg/w389-h518-no/photo+%25281%2529.JPG" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2nd try, pretty good, but the little triangle I added in the front made it a little low cut for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IC3dOyMcIT8/UZjviBFbTBI/AAAAAAAAFh0/GmtfJ1o1ezQ/w389-h518-no/photo+%25282%2529.JPG" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Number 3, much better.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I need to figure out now is how to place a couple of darts - because I'm as curvy as the learning process. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I can figure it out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then there's taking pictures for our Etsy Shop opening which is speeding towards us at an alarming rate. I made a light box using some <a href="http://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-make-a-inexpensive-light-tent" target="_blank">online</a><a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Create-an-Inexpensive-Photography-Lightbox" target="_blank"> tutorials</a> (I love you, on-line tutorials - How did we ever know things before the internet?). But the pictures taken using it are dim. I think the bedside lamps didn't quite cut it and we'll need to buy some bright lights with reflectors. But I did take a little time and f try to edit the picture online.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you tell which is which? I realize that these are very shadowy..learning process, remember?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we took some pictures outside. It worked well but somehow books don't belong in the grass. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="114.JPG" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/ca/u/0/?ui=2&ik=3c5a279d47&view=att&th=13eb5842dca5e372&attid=0.2&disp=thd&zw" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, what do we do in the winter? We talked and planned as we snapped pictures and the process of doing it all at the same time was very helpful. Kind of like doodling while talking on the phone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've come up with some ideas for how we want our pictures to look and what we want our aesthetic to be. That makes it easier to make choices - kind of like a mission statement. It's a process and it's really inspiring and enjoyable to be able to dig in and work to make everything come to life. It's a good learning curve, I really enjoy the process of learning now that I'm a grownup and get to pick what I learn and how I learn it.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had some free time on Saturday since the <a href="http://anotherjennifermakingstuff.blogspot.com/2013/05/blown-out.html" target="_blank">craft fair was blown off the planet</a>. I decided to take on some guilt that I had been sitting on for a while. About two years ago we had our house on the market. It didn't sell but we dusted and cleaned it relentlessly all that time. That was when we started using Swiffer Dusters. I am not a fan of disposable cleaning supplies but the Swiffers work really well. We kept on using them even after we took the house off the market. OOoOoooh the guilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For two years I've put this project off. I found a <a href="http://www.sew-much-ado.com/2010/02/tutorial-reusable-swiffer-duster-cloths.html" target="_blank">tutorial</a> to make Swiffer dusters out of flannel on line a looong time ago so it's not like I didn't have the necessary information.</div>

I may need to steal it back from him. My camera phone picture really stinks. So, I've overcome my guilt on one front, only to pick more guilt up on another as I steal my camera back from my son. I shouldn't feel guilty, it's mine, not his but I remember having that teen logic of touching something and it becomes yours. </div>
