Just some things I've been working on

Sorry, we've been watching episodes of Deep Space Nine obsessively, and I've been pinning again, since we got better internet, so yeah, I've been lazy. But every now and then I get a bug, and then there's crafting frenzy. I try to remember to take pictures.

Knitted bangles. Easy I-cords. I try to connect the ends in the bind off.

Mini pies! Links to recipe for the crust and the inspiration below

Cherry and mixed berry filling, by the way.

Stencil paintings to add to the creepy/cute wall of art. Not that these are creepy...*shrug*

Right: my pies. Left: half of a thin sliced pork sammy from Shut up and Eat

Mini pies: I mixed berries with a bit of sugar in one bowl and pitted fresh cherries with a bit of sugar in another bowl. Eyeballed it all. The only thing I measured was the ingredients for the crust, as it's the first time I ever made pie crust. After a few hours of everything chilling in the fridge, I pre-heated the oven to 375 degrees, like the inspiration pies, cut out and filled them, sprinkled a tiny bit of sugar over the tops, let them chill for about 5 min. in the freezer, and baked them for about 19 min. Since I eyeballed the cutting out, and in the interest of not over working the dough, I didn't pinch the tops to the bottoms like real pies. Oh well, they still taste amazing!

Wonder Northwest Photo Dump!

I didn't do the LSP cosplay, more on that later.
WNW was smaller this year with more focus on cosplay and artists booths. There were still some comic booths, there was a cute "soap in the shape of cute things" booth, couple of game & toys booths, but everywhere I turned there were artists selling prints, paintings, drawings, zines, or awesome bags...The people attending all seemed younger too, hence all the cosplay. So I *think* some of the art for sale was not being sold. On Sunday when I was getting ready to leave, one person eating outside said, "Oh my god, my friend was so happy you bought her bag!" Whoa, for a minute, I had no idea what she meant, then found out that I was the only person to buy one all weekend...Same with this cool clay/painting thing below, from a table that always sells buttons and magnets. I guess the market was different this year? All in all, it was still fun, but in the future, I think instead of a weekend pass, we'll just get there early Saturday morning.
And even though I used to dress up all crazy as a teen, for some reason I just couldn't bring myself to dress up as a lumpy space princess.  Sad...
On to the photos!

Wrapped in Plastic, 7 issues. The gentleman who sold these to me gave me a 50% price cut. I should have bought them all...

I figured it's best to buy issues of comics in bundles now. Unless I'm searching for that ONE issue of whatever...

First, "Just another Snake Cult" bag. Conan the Barbarian reference. Artwork by Adrienne Tilley Illustration. Links below.

Oh my god, Gir, cupcakes and candy, all crocheted. I don't buy knitted stuff because I can usually figure it out, but crocheted? I'm buying. Chibi Sayuri's Shop of Cute.

Left: sharpie art. I forgot the artists name!!! Right: thedancingbrothers on etsy.

They took a picture of me when I bought this! Anyway, one of the arms fell off in transport, we superglued it back on to the best of our abilities.

Dream King, from the guy who sold me the Twin Peaks mag.

The card in the top left corner is "Nicolas was..." Neil Gaiman's christmas card.

Clay on Painting: etsy.com/shop/TheDancingBrothers (currently an empty shop?)

Seeing the clay painting thingy made me want to create a wall with cute kitchy, cute/creepy things. Why have I not thought of this before? The crocheted goodies need a candy bowl or cool pastry plate, near the wall of creepy cute art. I don't know what to do with the Neil Gaiman Christmas card. Any ideas?
