Dresses July 1, 2010

Filed under: How to....,Me,Sewing — khaoscat @ 6:54

I love to sew! I don’t go a day without sewing something up, from stuffed animals to dress to p.j. pants for me and the kids.

I have made several dresses, only a few have made it to fruition due to my high standards I have on myself. One of the dresses I made turned into a nightgown because the seams where a little wonky. Here are the dresses I have proud of. Please let me know what you think. I thrive on input and I always need inspiration. Thanks.

 

I Love Vintage June 10, 2010

Filed under: Me,Vintage — khaoscat @ 6:54

I sell, live and breath Vintage. Its in my blood and all around me. I have some beautiful pieces. I run a shop on Etsy where I sell my Vintage nic-nacs, hats, jewelry, books, fabric and other hard fought treasures.

The hunt is very addictive and fun for me and many others that share my hobbie. I would love to share my love and treasures with you on my blog. I would love to show you other blogs I love that focus on Vintage and Antique items.

My store is www.khaoscatvintage.etsy.com

I would feel wonderful if you could share your opinions on my Phots and shop. I need to learn and welcome constructive critics.

Indian Fry Bread

Filed under: Family,How to.... — khaoscat @ 6:54

My children and I are Mono Indians from the great North Fork band of Mono Indians. Even though we are of light hair and eyes from our english side we are also native. Thanks to my Mother and her Mother we have a great recipe that has been passed down maybe changed a little but still delicious called Indian Fry bread. We eat it at our Pow Wows and use beef and beans and cheese as a topper. Here are some pictures of my daughter Devyn who loves to make it at least once a week.

 I will have the recipe up soon!

What I made today!

Filed under: How to....,Other Crafty Stuff,Vintage — khaoscat @ 6:54

I have been working on several projects. One is a vintage Hippo dish I turned into a pin cushion. I also used some vintage H.Hobbie  wallpaper that used to be in my sisters room when she was little. She is now 37! I put the wallpaper pieces I cut on pieces of wood as new hangable pictures. I will get these things into my Etsy shops soon.

Maker Faire May 24, 2010

Filed under: Events — khaoscat @ 6:54

My daughter and I volunteered at the Maker Faire yesterday Sat. May 22nd. What a blast! We had so much fun helping all the crafter in the Expo hall and then we got to go to Bizzar Bazzar and see all the fabolously talented artists at work in there. It was right next door at the Swamp-o-Rama where i took off my pants and traded for a comfy skirt. In private of course. We got some great fabric and some other cloths! Awesome idea and we will be going again next year with a ton of cloths. We also did some time in the Maker Shed! I saw Adam Savage (MythBusters) for a minute. Really cool.

I thought I would show you some freebies I got from a great company called FabMo. They go around the Bay Area and collect all the fabric swatches that would be thrown into our landfills otherwise. So I got some great pieces of  fabric and I already made a zipper pouch OWL.

Enjoy the pictures I will add more tomorrow!
