We now return...

Sorry about that. Glitch in the system. Eddies in the space-time continuum.

To make up for it, please to enjoy some random funny.

Ties still available!

There are still some ties available at my etsy store BrocadeLion.etsy.com. I'll let y'all know if I make a few Valentine Specials. Meantime, check these out.

But I'm still fond of you... oh-ho-ho...

Sooooo much to learn with the embroidery software, but I have learned a bit so far. This is the (original design, Smiths lyrics) embroidered detail on my crafting apron/toolbelt, which I've been meaning to make for, oh, decades, and finally got around to this weekend.

I would claim that I'll take better pictures to post some time, but I doubt I will -- I'll be too busy wearing the thing. Also, I'd post a tutorial if anyone asked.

I just realized how massively lazy this post makes me sound. Blame the fact that the climate control at my office is killing me ded -- it was, like, 50°F in here when I got here, and about 85°F now.*

*What? I NEVER exaggerate.
