My first bag creation

So most people know that my mom makes amazing purses. When I told my mom that I needed a new hobby and was thinking about sewing (need something to help get me through this dissertation work since there's no disc golf nearby and playing bassoon all alone isn't much fun), Mom gave me a great sewing machine for Christmas. Now I have to do something with it!

So I made a yoga bag, which only further confirms that I'm my mother's daughter. It took 3/4ths of a professional football game and I more or less followed the directions from this site. I even added pretty stitching around the drawstring. Hooray!

Now I have one more reason to go to yoga! Hopefully the sanity from yoga will help me get my work done, right?

Game Creator Game

I'm amused. I've had a note in my notebook to look at the Game Creator game on Cartoon Network's site ever since Alice Kahn mentioned it at the Sandbox Summit in September. I finally just took a peek. It's pretty well thought out!

I especially like that you have to win your game before it can be shared with others. No making the impossible to win game here!

Finally... a site for me

I've only been threatening to build a site for many, many years. Finally, I've done it!
