Turning a Floppy Disk into Star Trek Enterprise - Yep, I'm a geek

So I'm cleaning out my desk and find a bunch of floppies. Not wanting to fill the landfill, I take it apart to see what I can use. Thanks to the interweb, I found instructions for making Star Trek Enterprise. Here's my version of the thing.

So now the question is, "What the hell do I do with this?"

Cardboard Chandelier


Totally inspired by Martha Stewart but refusing to use her template, I made my own chandelier for Halloween. At first it was silver and really made no impression at all. Then after consulting with Caudled Milk, we went for black with painted candles.

For Xmas I've added a silver snowflake garland. Just lovely. I do believe it's a year-round fixture now.

Materials: cardboard, box cutter, paint

Vacation mode on etsy removes the images

Huh. I just noticed that when I put my etsy page on vacation mode it removed all the pretty pictures from my blog posts. Oh, well.

Sock Quilt - a what?!?

I go through socks like a kid in a chocolate factory. I hate throwing them away, so I had an idea -- why not make a quilt from the top part of the socks? Well, here's the beginning of it. It's about the size of a baby blanket now, but give it a year and it might be done. Some of my favorite socks from The Sneakery are slowly making their colorful way into the quilt.

SwissCake is finally on Etsy!
