captured fancies

Clearly, I'm kind of a jerk blogger. I've abandoned this poor space for too long.
In my defense, I became a full-time student again (a print journalism major). And education, for all its importance, is also one hell of a time-suck.
The time I would have spent on more interesting projects now goes to frantic homework-doing.
During all this time, however, I've been bookmarking bits of this and that from across the internet - tutorials, brilliant ideas, inspirations, patterns - and I'd thought I'd share them all as a "welcome back, here's the stuff I would have liked to have been doing while I was writing papers instead."
So, with thanks to all the original authors, because I love it when people are generous with their good ideas:

Tutorials:

sew:
herr hase, sock rabbit
pillows from plaid shirts
a rice pillow
a ruffled felt pillow
a bird mobile
hobo lunch bag
oilcloth lunch bag

make:
tiny tissue flowers

miniature fabric flower garland
recycled gift bows

rubberize a tea set

my sock rabbit, so far without the added mustache, but I'm seriously thinking it over.
