Texas Freckles: Pincushion Crazy! I've gone pincushion crazy! I wanted to make another pincushion to help me create instructions on how I customized the measurements, so I did that last night. But most of my photos were really dark since my sewing room has insufficient light at night, so I made another one today so I could re-take many of the photos. I don't think I've violated any copyright by doing this, but let me state for the record that this IS NOT my pattern and I am not redistributing the pattern here. You will need to purchase your own copy of Anna Maria Horner's book Seams to Me: 24 New Reasons to Love Sewing in order to obtain the pattern for the Pin Cushion Caddy. Alright, with that out of the way, if anyone is interested, I made a pdf worksheet you can download here to customize the pattern. In addition to the supplies listed in the book and your typical sewing notions (rulers, etc.), you will need a drafting compass, some tracing paper (I used vellum) and a calculator. This is my drafting compass. Perfect!

Turning the VistaQuest VQ1005 Digital Keychain Camera into a Spy Cam Wiki Attach | Edit | Revisions Related Content Ever since I was a kid, I have been facinated with the spy world. The VistaQuest VQ1005 digital camera is perfect for modification into a spy cam. The first thing to reduce the visibility of this camera is to remove the key chain. Now, it's time to take apart the small digital camera. After pulling two-halves of the case apart, the first thing to remove is the useless viewfinder. Next, I want to eliminate the beeping sound. Therefore, I took a chance at rendering the digital camera useless. There is a pair of red and black wires under the lens on the other half of the plastic case. After doing these modifications, you will have a nice little spy camera. Comments & Discussion >> Attachments

craft blog : I've Got A Fever And The Only Prescription Is A Crochet Hook Holder The last couple days I've become a sneezing snot factory, culminating in fever of 99 degrees last night, which is super-high for me since I'm normally 97.6 degrees. I say "culminating" as wishful thinking because I don't want to get any sicker ... please. When I first start getting sick, I usually can't sleep. I'd done a quick sketch of a horizontal thing, but for some reason, in my sick-haze, I decided to change the design to a vertical panel with diagonal pockets. I'm pretty impressed that I was able to do this without my contacts in and (most likely) with a fever. First, I cut all the little pockets, sewed the opening seam, then sewed them in a strip so the top of each one was off from the next by one inch. I can't find the right words to explain what I did, but it involved sewing individual pieces of 1" wide stabilizer behind each pocket and then sewing the thing the background in between each pocket. I used all sorts of gifted and leftover fabric (recognize yours?).
