inspirational clothing by alyson fox for homemade clothes:

hold me

sometimes i go crazy looking through the martha stewart website. it pushes me off the bridge in the aspect that i want to have my own apartment or house right now, today. i love living in a dorm, but sometimes i really want to put nails and screws in the wall.
back to ms. stewart, i've been receiving pretty good emails from her -- and most of these have to do with organizing, but realistically i might start using them as inspiration to make homemade gifts. here are a few of the best of my "organizing tip of the day" emails:
1. sewing kit in a jar.
2. recycle an old towel to hold bathroom toiletries.
3. take vintage soap dishes and mount them on a wall to hold keys and small widgets.

where's my memory?

make it. play it.

make a black apple doll

giant cable knit blanket

i love thick, knitted blankets.

hot pads

these could be fun to create on a rainy day, right, right? actually, this is a really cute wedding gift i can start making.
