I love to craft and my friends tell me to sell my stuff on Etsy and whatnot, but I feel like my stuff lacks a certain quality to be worthy of selling. Like, I understand you want the homemade look, but you might care that I left a glue thumbprint on the card, whereas my friends won't.
BUT, Jezzies, I just soldered cufflinks last night! And made earrings! It was a really good craft night and I am super proud that I taught myself how to solder.
My journals into which I stick just about everything are my entire crafting opus parvus. But I love looking at handmade crafts that other people do. I just have learned about myself that I am probably NOT going to actually do that needlepoint, cross stitch, knit things and so forth.
Oh, that's fantastic. I love embroidery, it's the only craft I do. Something like this is pretty straight forward, probably only a couple of hours for someone experienced, but it is the most creative thing I have sine in a long time.
@o português é muito sexy de Curly Crown: Believe it or not, I do this sort of thing frequently when I'm writing a lot - I end up spelling words in weird phonetical ways. Normally I'm a pretty good speller.
But... what if it breaks, and you're going commando? I don't know about you guys, but electric shocks and vaginas don't seem like a kind combination to me.
"an illuminated skirt and wriggling squids for cats to play with."
I read this as "an illuminated skirt with wriggling squids for cats to play with" and pictured a woman wearing a light-up skirt being chased down the street by feral cats.
Didn't somebody get arrested not too long ago trying to wear a homemade light-up jacket through airport security? Is TSA ready for what's coming at them?
PS I want Olympic-opening-ceremony light-up bodysuit NOW.
So when I painted those wall hooks last night, I should've also coded them and programmed them to snark on the purses and scarves I hang on them in lolspeak.
I'm still a little stimulated from the Obama contraceptive stimulus article and immediately thought about making a crochet case for a vibrator. Is that wrong?
@SheeRah: No, that's awesome and practical. Plus, it makes hiding your vibe in a drawer when snoopy people come visiting a whole lot easier. As someone who lives in a studio apartment, this is important to me.

@SituationVacant as Dr. Zingelbert Bembledack: A Jezebel cross-stitch would be awesome!
