I was way too inspired by the recent post of the little house, so I ran off and made one that won't get much use for a while as my daughter's only 5 months old :)

I just bought some really cool mugs from our local grocery outlet for 99 cents each. They're black and squarish with a vivid red inside. They remind me of the Twilight books and I'd like to either paint or decoupage them...but what I'm curious about is, what could I use afterwards to seal them so my designs don't wash away yet they still remain safe to drink out of?

first time sewing projects

[amelora.livejournal.com]

Hi,
I just joined this community today so I am sorry if this has already been asked.
I just inherited an old singer sewing machine. So far I can do straight lines and I am okish with curvy lines. I was would like to try some simple sewing projects or even exorcises to help me practice and learn more.  I would love it if someone could suggest website or the like for VERY beginners. I should mention I have no idea how to use a pattern and I have only been sewing for about 3 days.

thanks

an interesting problem

[heretiquely.livejournal.com]

i volunteered to sew two outfits for an upcoming fashion show in school. today was a dress rehearsal and the other designers' outfits totally outshone mine... granted most of the others have plenty of design experience and i have none... although this show is not a competition, i'd still like to be able to hold my own...

TAP artist paper- any good?

I was looking on this website for something else, and saw this iron-on transfer paper. The description sounds amazing, but does it live up to the marketing in your experience. I've bought printable transfer paper before that's been rubbish (it had a greenish cast and faded really badly) but also bought a couple of home printed transfers off ebay that were great quality. The paper's expensive because it's imported from the US, but if it really is fantastic, I don't mind paying more. Anyone used this TAP stuff before, then?

Large craft fair tomorrow...

Argh!! I trusted either craftgrrl or seattle to keep me informed of these things!

Any other Seattleites (or at least Washington people, I'm driving from 150 miles away) planning on going to Urban Craft Uprising tomorrow?
