First, if you haven't already heard of it elsewhere, Yasmine Surovec from the brilliant A Print a Day blog has a new magazine especially for crafters called Parasol Craft. It's only 2.50 USD, and full of gorgeous things, interviews with artists and pictures of the beautiful things they create, it also comes with some things for scrapbooking, a darling doll project, instructions for creating and using Illustrator brushes with vector files to practice with, and some really lovely embroidery designs. 111 pages of goodness.

Rachel at Instructables has great step by step instructions for making your own panties and bra. Since you make the pattern by using one you have that you kind of like the fit of, you can adjust the fit to be perfect, and unlike some bra projects I've seen on the net, it WILL work for something more than a B cup. Oh how we envy you ladies with the high and perkys! (perkies?)(Umm.. *blushes and waves to the guy in Canada and the guy in Japan* you can ignore that whole last paragraph!)
If you can draft patterns, The Canton of Gleann nam Feòrag Dhuibhe has instructions for making all sorts of garb.
I reposted my pirate eye patch pattern here

This bat mask is a costume all in itself with a gorgeous little black dress. For this? I'd start wearing contact lenses again.
If you are more the Winter Queen type, check out this necklace.

Fractal box printable.
Also a new design up for scoring at Naked and Angry. You can use your Threadless log-in to score it. Click here.

Other than that, crocheting, reading, and working with Friendly Plastic. I had a fun creative sort of accident with it today that I'm going to turn into a project later that I think that Melissa will love because it's right up her crafty alley.

Via One Pretty Thing
Midsummer Nights Dream Tutu almost no sew and too cute.
Adorable no bake teacup treats for children.
Sushi Cake with orange gelatin roe. I'm so making a cupcake version of these for Wm's b-day on NYE.
Felt scissor keeper, embroidered and hand stitched.

A few from Not Martha.
Homemade Maraschino Cherries, I must do this soon. Really soon. Yum yum!
3D Sheep Crackers at Design*Sponge
A No-Knead Bread Recipe at Kiss My Spatula that looks fantastic

A current favorite of mine:
Food for the Boiler: A Steampunk Cookbook

A couple mochi recipes
Welsh Cakes, perfect for the guy in your life who's decided he's Welsh and wants to replace your shed with a police call box. Unless of course that only happens to me.
You can also download a pdf scanned version of Brown Bag's new idea book with lots of recipes here, you'll want to go to view-rotate clockwise to read it.
On that note.. I really really want the British Isles shortbread pan

I'm in a lot of pain today so it's sort of hard to focus on what I meant to get done.
Updated Beadwork at BellaOnline with a sort of silly thing, instructions for converting a peyote pattern to a regular graph. It's a joke, since people keep asking how to like there is this quick and easy way to convert graphs.
School Needlework at Vintage Sewing Info, a ton of information on hand sewing and darning. (Darning socks, not the kind of darn that takes you straight to heck.)
Build a table top loom, which is very nifty, but fairly involved. (pdf)
More fun and something you can set up to do with younger kids, or have older kids help you build?
Thread Banger has this great weaving project.(youtube) It's a great use for scraps and such and the technique would work well with selvages.

Well.. more later. Time to go try to be productive.
I hope you all had a day with a lot of laughter.

And oh yeah.. me? Without coffee?? I think my family would start sneaking it into fruit juice or something.. too scary to contemplate.

Until 24 hours is up and I can unmold my cabochons, I thought I'd share a couple favorite links..
Button Your Eyes, at the website for the Coraline movie.
Seed packet bookmarks at Little House in the Suburbs, which I love. Really. The site makes me want to keep goats. Of course, my husband is really against me having goats.
How to Tie Dye A Spiral at the RIT website. I think this technique, with a bit of modification would be great for dresses from Dharma Trading Company. I want a rainbow dress for summer. People have always said I don't wear enough color.

I was too hopeful I guess about that Star magazine subscription. I got ANOTHER issue last night. I think I scroaned. Pulled a black marker from my purse, blacked out the address label, and I'll dump it at the gym tonight.

Mike's picking up the new Kim Harrison for me,and a book called Teashop Girls for E tonight. Yay!

For Scented Products
Laura's Body and Soul
They feed my scent addiction, AND have an eczema cream that has done absolute wonders for my husband's psoriasis. I can't say enough good about that cream.
Gladheart Acres
Gladheart Acres makes lovely cold process soaps in a ton of scents and types. They also have some lovely body butters. I'm totally hooked on them. The soap has enough superfatting to be perfect for winters. My favorite shampoo bars as well.
Bath Bucket Soap

Bramble Berry
I couldn't really do a list without including Bramble Berry right?

Beads
Halstead Beads
Great service and prices, great products.

Locally roasted yumminess. I really recommend the Empress Blend, if you prefer medium roasts, my dad loves the Samurai.
Brainscan on Etsy
She wrote the wonderful "Stolen Sharpie Revolution", and she roasts coffee to order. Yum yum.

Cloth menstrual pads
Amy's Rag Bag
Wonderful pads made with almost all post consumer recycled fabrics, the only thing that's not post consumer recycled is the thread she sews them with. She's worked out a toggle like closure for them, and a stacking system that's intuitive and flexible. Her prices are incredibly reasonable so it's a good way to start with cloth pads. I wrote a short tutorial on how to use them you can find here. If you've never bought from her, ask about her starter set, it's a very inexpensive way to start.
HoneybeeHill
Really cute new pads, vegan buttons, cloth advocacy buttons.
