This would make a great halloween costume for next year…

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
An enchanting short film about books that come to life.
My 'Meet Spoonflower' interview!
Once a week, the spoonflower blog queen has been interviewing employees and posting them so that everyone can know how truly dorky we are. This week was my turn.
You’ve got to know where your towel is.
this is the story of how I died
Holy shit.
DONT PANIC!
So much of my favorite dorkinesses…. all in one post. Amazing.

Whole-wheat apple cinnamon bread.
This one actually turned out (surprisingly) sort of bland. I’m not sure exactly what happened with it, maybe it was the substitute of apple sauce for butter, or not enough sugar, or some other silly healthy choice I was trying to make. Regardless, it was delicious when slathered with honey butter. That’ll teach me to try to be healthy :-P
Yes, this is exactly what you think it is. A full-body pikachu suit, made of comfortable, cuddly, fleece. It even has a tail. One of my friends commissioned it as a Christmas present for another of my friends. The pictures were taken on the fly in his kitchen, so they’re not the best. But seeing as the girl wearing it regularly models, I’ll see if I can get some better pictures.
The Joy of Books
Many sleepless nights were spent moving, stacking, and animating books at Type bookstore in Toronto to create this video.

I’ve been a little 50s dress obsessed lately. Maybe I jumped on the Mad Men wagon a bit late, or maybe its just the fun Retro patterns I got on sale. Anyways, I decided I needed a tea dress, petticoat et al.
The dress is a simple cotton (not spoonflower actually, I wanted something a little softer than our quilting weight) with my favorite boat neckline, and a low back. I love this style, it is ridiculously flattering on me.
This was also the first time I ever made a full petticoat. I used the sugardale tutorial, which was very well written, simple, with clear directions. It was one of the most tedious sewing projects I’ve ever done. And took longer to make than the dress itself. But it looks exactly like what I wanted, so I’m satisfied!
