The new project: doggie bed

So, as a thrifty crafter. I conceived this idea of making a doggie bed for my Maggie. Obviously I can't use normal cotton fabric because she'll just tear it up. Thus, I wanted to use denim. The first place I went is not my local fabric store, but my local thrift store. I ended up with a pile of dark, light, and colored denim jeans.

then I studiously deconstructed the jeans and cut them into stripes that are 6in in width. Did that mainly because it's the width of my ruler and it's easier.

i'm about to sew the stripes into the top and bottom sides of a 36x24x2 bed. Stay tuned for an update.

Blog reboost

Blog reboost!!! There has been a major lag in posts [and the number of posts in general, I guess] mainly because I have been *really* busy with school, then the bar admission, and then the job. However, recently I moved down to Bay City [from Houston] and is currently jobless. Thus, I shall be posting a lot more often than before. Also, i am expanding the purview of the blog. Instead of strictly focusing on crafts and whatnot, I'm just going to update everyone on my daily doings [it'll include a lot of crafting, trust me]. Without further ado, I am back!
