Because you can't have too many tutus. Liz and I are busily sewing our brains out to share our fall “look book” collections in a week or so. But, in the meantime, we do have a few projects that have been sitting on the back shelves. I am currently three outfits down and three to go, with bits and pieces in between like blind-stitch hemming (I don’t know why but I dislike blind-stitch hemming, so I always leave it until the end, even with the nifty foot– I am weird.) But I am totally stuck at finding a girls’ navy blue skinny belt for one of my dresses…..anyone seen lately? I am getting pretty desperate….it’s what I have envisioned all along and I am at the point where I need to find one!!! (Anyone ever made a skinny leather belt before?) In other news, enjoy a quick and easy project…..from this summer that I never posted. We had a seventh birthday party around here a month or so ago. I wish I were great about big elaborate parties…..but I am not. Supplies: And here’s what you do… ~Elizabeth

We Read Values: where tech and handmade converge The tools will change. Your values can stay the same. Tweet this! A friend of mine recently said this at a tech conference talk, but I think it’s applicable in so many places. Things change. The stock market goes up and down. In fact, the whole talk reminded me of the handmade community, specifically the conversations happening over at Oh My! This conference was about a specific technology, Ruby, but, like most things, being a Ruby software developer is really more mixed-media than any one particular craft. We are a community. Ruby programmers, just like indie crafters, are a community. Sharing Tech-wise, we’re all about Open Source. Elegance and beauty Does it seem strange to you that nerdy, pocket-protector engineers care about beauty and elegance? Having an impact You may have heard about Google’s motto: Don’t be evil. Fundamentally, both tech and handmade have had to reconcile the need for money and the need to make and be creative. Your customers see your authenticity and values.
