I feel I must show this to Tumblr. This semester I have created the single greatest thing I have ever called a school project.

I am currently in a college technical theatre program, specializing in props. Every year, as a program, we put on four major musicals in collaboration with the musical theatre program; two shows a semester.

This semester's shows were Big Fish and... the show I mostly worked on... Something Rotten!

For the finale of the giant, climactic, Make an Omelette number, the director asked for a giant golden egg that exploded out a "rubber chicken volcano"

I pounced on the project. This was something too ridiculous for me to NOT build it.

What I created... was this:

at age 4 I said I wanted to be a mythbuster when I grew up. At age 20 I built my first Chicken Gun.

Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.

Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.

I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅

Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.

babe. I know we’re all going thru a lot rn but I just wanna give u the heads up that sesame streets future is in jeopardy. hbo has chosen not to renew it for new episodes (a series that has been going since 1969) and the residents of 123 Sesame Street no longer have a home :(

Need to know how to sew on a button? I find this method is far more secure than using a sewing machine. I hope you all find this useful!

speaking of...I have a Ko-fi account with free patterns (only 2 but more will be coming eventually)

I made a small collection of pin cushion rings for a craft market. They’re actually super useful!

The core is a wine cork, so you’ll never be able to stab deep enough to hurt yourself!

If you get tired of stars, you can turn the pattern into hearts.

PSA, don't buy highly radioactive stuff!

hate being at work. my coworker was like "I bought a neck thing for my neck pain on amazon the other day. it's probably a scam lol" and I couldn't even say "well just hope it's not radioactive" because then everyone would look at me weird and I'd launch into a rant about the negative-ion producing pens available for sale on amazon and temu and aliexpress that are just radioactive, and I'd think that my little ramble was really cool and interesting but nobody else would and they'd just remember I bombed the conversation with a complete non-sequitur.

Reminder for those shipping mail within, or to, Canada: Canada Post has been on strike since November 15 and is still on strike. No mail is being delivered or processed.

The United States Postal Service has suspended mail to Canada, meaning packages are either being returned to sender or are stuck in limbo at USPS facilities.

UPS and Purolator are struggling with the backlog and halting some mail processing.

It seems DHL and Fedex are still operational, at least at the time of this post, but ofc they're going to be vastly busier than usual.

Educate yourselves and look at the fiber content before buying wherever possible, folks!

Watching brands cut their sweaters with more and more acrylic over the years and still call them

"wool"

"alpaca"

"cotton"

No wonder more and more people are getting into knitting and making their own garments. I'm not a universal acrylic hater, but it's getting harder and harder to find things that aren't cut with it and are also made well, even if you are willing to pay. Calling a "wool blend" something with 15% wool content and the rest being plastic fiber is just misleading to the average consumer. And before acrylic and poly existed we blended other fibers for stability. I understand something like alpaca benefits from a binding/stronger fiber, but the only reason that it is always acrylic nowadays is because it's cheap.

Looking for a last minute gift idea that can be hand sewn in a few days, or less if you're more sewing savy? This may be a good solution, because who doesn't like soup?

I will be making a template pattern drawn out and available soon. I will post the diagram on this blog once I draft it up

Happy stitching!

Edit: This is the pattern! You will need to likely adjust it for your size of bowl, by the size of the fabric and how big or long the darts are. This is a general guide, but I hope this helps you.

New video, and I swear there’s a somewhat logical reason for my awfully impractical choice of materials. I held off on posting pictures of this till I had the video all finished because I feel like it’s funnier with context.

It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!

Bonus Rule: Post on social media with the #whamageddon hashtag when you get hit

Seriously, anyone who comments on my youtube videos with questions or positivity, you all make my day

every time I see someone online posting their knitting a little grandma who lives in my head wakes up and goes, "now what do you have there?", "Oh look at that, isn't that beautiful?", "now how on earth did you do that?", "well that's just absolutely gorgeous"
