If you’re an avid iPhonographer, you probably have your fair share of square photos from Instagram or Hipstamatic. Printing them is a hassle, as most of the common photo printing services don’t offer square prints, and instead blow them up to fit the standard 4×6 size! Here’s an simple tutorial for creating a Photoshop action that will add a white border around your photos that can be easily sliced off.
I've spent the weekend working on a scrapbook of my New York adventure. More accurately, I've been procrastinating by scouring Pinterest for travel book inspiration!
I purchased my first font today! Normally I just gaze longingly at them, as they’re usually too expensive to justify buying for personal use – but this one was on sale for $9! Take a gander at Thirsty Rough:
I love the old-school, retro style of it. I can see this used in many a project.
Here are some more photos of the Hobbes I crocheted for my brother.
In case you’re wondering, yes, the first several photos are in the wrong order. I tried, and I missed. Oh well.
For more details on the project, check out my Ravelry page.
I thought I’d start the second week of 2013 with a quick roundup of what I’ve been up to.
My brother is off to China for a whole year! I made Hobbes for him for Christmas before I knew he was going. He took it along. I think it’s safe to say he enjoyed it!
I started playing around with a label design for my husband’s homebrew for fun, and this was born. I might go back and redo it later, but he was quite pleased with it in the meantime.
I’ve been working on the Juneberry Triangle only halfway done with the edging. It’s exhausting! It’s beautiful, though, and I’m sure it’ll be worth it.
I fulfilled some of my Maid of Honor duties and went dress shopping with Jenna. She found the perfect one on our first trip! Don’t worry, this isn’t the one!
If you follow in an RSS reader, you probably didn’t see the new design. Here’s a screenshot for reference:
I’m very happy with it! One of my goals for 2012 was to learn how to write WordPress themes from scratch. It’s not perfect, but I have a pretty good grasp so far. Next challenge: Write one for others to download.
What do you think of the new design? If you notice anything wonky, please let me know. I’ll even take constructive criticism. 
I worked furiously for a few days while at my mom’s house over the holidays, and finished my lovely ski bonnet!
I really needed a hat, but I wanted something that wasn’t a beanie. Knitting hats has always been frustrating, because my head is too big and I always have to modify the pattern quite a bit. I figured this style would allow for some flexibility, and I was right!
More photos, etc on Ravelry.
I love gemstones (heck, anything with facets) and designed this set of blank notecards for download.
You can pick them up at my Etsy shop.
This is a super simple and adorable winter terrarium. You will need:
Glass container
Sugar
Glitter
Sisal Trees
Animal Figurines
Other decorative items
Pour sugar into bowl to desired depth, and top with a thin layer of glitter
Use a pen or pencil to push the glitter down along the sides of the glass. It’s like the sand art you used to do as a kid!
Decoratively arrange your items in the snow.
Step back and admire your work.
Bask in the adorableness.
