J and I went to FabMo‘s fabric sale today! FabMo is a creative reuse non-profit that collects and sells craft items that would otherwise be thrown away. Many items come from the San Francisco Design Center, so FabMo has tiles, fabric samples, rug samples, buttons, etc. It’s awesome!! Look for creative reuse stores in your area! Here is a list of some around the country. I also know of Austin Creative Reuse in Austin, Tx.
The sale today was for larger pieces of fabric (>1 yd cuts) and rug. There was quite the selection. I have a few projects I’ve been looking for fabric for: linen undershirts (should be good for summer!), linen shirts, linen pants or shorts, and mayyyyybe a wool suit (I’m not an advanced enough sewer for this but I can dream!).
Here are the fabrics I bought:
I got a fancy new (well… refurbished) ergonomic keyboard! It’s the Kinesis Advantage 2 QD.
Kinda weird, but tasty.
The final product tasted kinda weird… Probably because I added three times more rennet than I was supposed to.
We made cinnamon rolls tonight. They came out pretty well, although perhaps there’s still some room for improvement. Continue reading “Cinnanon Rolls!”
We had a great time at the county fair on Saturday! I had never gone to a fair before, so I was expecting to just see low quality rides and low quality funnel cake. To my surprise, there was a lot more than that. There was art things, animal things, and more. Continue reading “San Mateo County Fair”
We did the best we could with no recipe on hand. It turned out pretty good.
