things to do when your day's been bad
- lie down on the floor beside your bed
- take a shower, use the good soap
- listen to a song you liked ages ago
- write your thoughts out in all caps
- draw a head and then 'decorate' that head however you're feeling (I drew a man with a hole for a face. It worked)
- listen to a song and try to focus on one (1) instrument at a time, baseline, drums, guitar, another guitar, repeating sound effect
- wash your face
- take a nap or go to bed early
- call someone. tell them about your horrible day or let them talk about theirs or both
- go through your camera roll (specifically the screenshots folder)
- go through your saved instagram posts / tumblr likes
- watch That One Really Great Live Performance of That Artist You Love, then read the comments of everyone having great taste like you do
- cry a little about it
- remember that this day will end and another will begin. it'll be all new, never experienced before, no bad things will have happened, and you'll be okay.

This just saved my bacon today, and I’m SO glad I left the tab open to check it out.
I’m publishing a book, and needed to resize an image for the cover art. But neither of the art programs I have can do it right: one only views things at different sizes, and the other would have to convert it into RGB colors; bad for printing.
I’m not about to shell out the money for Photoshop or InDesign. Not when I just need to resize one image!
But this is legit, and it works, and now my image is the perfect size. It took like 30 seconds. I am so grateful.
Spread the word about Photopea!
I made this bitsy game one boring night over a year ago and never did anything with it, but replaying it I actually thought it was kinda neat,
saving what you have: visible mending
Visible mending is a way to fix clothes with holes in a decorative way. Instead of trying to make the mend invisible as possible, it can be fun and creative to hi light the tears and holes with stitching that adds to the garment. I think this method is super cool to repair clothes you may really want to keep but also make more beautiful.
There are many techniques to mending clothes and here are some popular techniques that will help you save your clothes and also reduce your consumption of fast-fashon!
The embroidery technique used to repair holes in fabric by using running stitches and thread woven in-between those stitches to repair a hole. If you’re interested in employing this stitch, check out this awesome darning tutorial by Evelyn Wood!
This type of traditional Japanese mending practice is used to reinforce the strength of fabric as well as decorate. It is a great solution for mending holes with patches and well to reinforce thinning fabric! For learning the basics of Sashiko there is a wonderful beginners tutorial by Benzie Design.
Patches are very versatile when used for repairing clothes. You can sew it over a hole in your fabric or you can also so the patch in the inside to have it peek out. There is a great tutorial for custom DIY patches by wastelesscrafts and Creating with misp has a tutorial on mending with a peek-through patch.
happy mending!
The Cute Book- Cute felt plushies!
I’ve had this book for like 7 years now, and I still find it fun and rather useful. So while flipping through it for an idea the other day, I decided I should scan it and share the contents. I own absolutely nothing, I’m just sharing the cute crafts. All credit goes to Aranzi Aronzo. Also, please note that I purposely left out one of the patterns as it was named “The Kidnapper”, which I felt was inappropriate. You’re not missing anything fantastic don’t worry.

Here’s a “life-hack” for you. Apparently concentrated Kool-Aid can be used as a pretty effective leather dye. I was making a drink while cutting the snaps off some new straps for my pauldrons and I got curious, so I tried it, thinking, “ok even if this works, it will just wash out.” Nope. It took the “dye” (undiluted) in about 3 seconds. After drying for about an hour and a half, it would not wash off in the hottest tap-water. It would not wash out after soaking for 30 minutes. It did not wash out until I BOILED it, and even then, only by a tiny bit and it gave it a weathered look that was kind of cool. Add some waterproofing and I’d wager it would survive even that. That rich red is only one application too. Plus it smells great, lol. So there you go, cheap, fruity smelling leather dye in all the colors Kool-Aid has to offer.
WELL THEN!
this may be important to some of my followers *and certainly not just getting reblogged because of my costuming and my boyfriends desire for leather armor*
When I was in middle school we used to use it to dye our hair. Potent stuff.
If you’re dying anything with kool-aid it’s best to use SUGAR-FREE ones otherwise the thing you’re dying might get all sticky
the flavor only packets where you are supposed add sugar are the best. they will dye any natural fiber: leather, wool, cotton, hair, flax, jute, silk and so forth. heat the dye water so it is more potent. let dry then rinse excess out in cold water. there’s a whole system to this.
Oh my god
This will prove very useful for any future cosplays I wanna do.
DUDE
Ohhhh a color chart excellent!
USEFULLLLLL

Am… am I back in the 90’s?
Bead animals were my JAM in the 90’s!! And you don’t have to limit your creativity to lizards, either! With a few adjustments, you can make anything!
AND with a little practice, you can even make them 3D shaped (especially with the smaller beads and wire, though you can make them with the bigger beads and string, to an extent)
These connect powerfully to some locked-down memories
