Hi craftfriends, looks like craftlog is under! attack! by some comment monster, so Movable Type shut itself down. Tech support/husband is trying to figure it out. Thanks again for every comment! I ...
My cheery clover web theme got annoying awful quick, especially with it getting colder here, so time for a redesign. Doesn't it seem warmer already? And look, I finally made a banner. It only took me, what 3 and a...
The yellow was looking a little too bright lately, so I redesigned the site. My mac calls the color "honeydew." The clover background pattern is by me, inspired by my favorite notions company and a tshirt I got at Delia's,...
On the sidebar, I culled some links and updated the list of new additions. On my shoplinks page, I added a new category for places I've actually bought stuff from. I was going to do a whole post of what...
I love it when a bunch of people spontaneously hit upon the same creative idea all at once. I've been working on this redesign, using the color scheme of my coffee press cozy I made a while back. And lo...
I added a few new books to the library page. I finally broke down and bought The New Crewel since it was taking forever to come back in at the library. I'm glad I did because it's a lovely book...
Craftypod interviewed me for her nifty podcast! We talked mainly about Japanese craft books, but ended up ranging into bloggy territory as well. I haven't mustered up the courage to listen to it yet. :)...
Massive update to the shop links page. I added almost 100 sites! One other housekeeping thing I've been meaning to mention, I get tagged by people every now and again. I'm just not so into memes, so I hope you...
Man, I must've had a good vacation to not craft+post for 2 weeks. I'll be adding a whole bunch of Crafting Japanese updates over the next few days and I'm finally going to update my neglected links pages. I've been...
I updated my library page with a few new books. There are 4 new Japanese craft books, including the ones I used for the amigurumi bunny and the embroidered purse, in case you were dying to know. There's also a...
OK, the last batch of letters is addressed and ready to be mailed. Whew. I'm thrilled by the response. Total, I'm sending 48 trinkets. I was short a few charms, so hopefully a few of you won't mind getting patches...
Remember to email me by midnight EST tonight if you want to get in on the patch/charm freebie! 2 batches have already been mailed out. The rest will go out Monday. I'm behind on the email replies, so don't worry...
I'm now the happy owner of www.craftlog.org! A domain of my own, cool. There are a few other pages out there calling themselves craftlogs, so I figured I should grab it before someone else did. Everything's still stored at huangfamily,...
I'm back. Italy was fun. Not much crafty to report, though. Murano glass is pretty neat. I got some beads there that will no doubt make an appearance here sooner or later. There was supposed to be a lace museum...
I updated my stylesheet, as you can tell (if you can't see, try emptying your cache). The background pattern is from some Old Navy wrapping paper I scanned in and edited. The script font is Little Days, downloaded from one...
I put up a new library page. It's got all my craft books, plus ratings, links to reviews and projects, and links to the appropriate Amazon. And I made a favicon, the little scissors next to my URL, using the...
Good Husband upgraded Movable Type and installed MT Blacklist, so comments are back. If you've been dying to comment on the old posts, have at 'em. I'll be adding some other improvements this week, too, like a new links page...
Not that anyone but my sister will notice, but I got rid of the comments. If you would like to comment, email me. I like email better anyway. After I (finally) got indexed by Google, the spam just got out...
I've been fiddling with the site. CSS is a pain. The style sheet is a mod of "Typepad Thin" from Movable Style. Learning Movable Type is a helpful site. I suppose my next venture into MTness should be to design...
My craftlog's been going for a year now. Here's a really geeky craft for all you loyal readers. (Do I have loyal readers? I do not know.) I broke my glasses the other day. They're like 5 years old, and...
The main purpose of this site is to share my craft projects and to procrastinate from writing my thesis. I've had such a good time over the past few months browsing other people's craftlogs that I decided to put up...
