Give me your links to your crazy art, you wonderful everyday weirds...

And please, you post any thing that would show up in 4chan I will be very annoyed with you.

brown nishiki rice with miso.

perfect for killing that late-night salty-fatty craving.

I've got a month and a half to scramble to get things together. Paypal is waiting for my darling bank to give the goods for the supplies.

What I need to make between March 5th and now.

Dobuku or Happi Coat: Whichever takes less fabric

Hakama pants

kosode undergarment:length measurements taken. Work will commence after I iron out the fabric flat tomorrow. I've got more than 3 freaking yards of it.
Obi: ...need to dig through my fabric supplies but I think I can do a simple embroider on a sash and wear that.

Tabi: (Might cheat and make fake-ish ones from white gym socks)

Sandals: Have idea involved braided scraps of fabric from projects, something like a braided rug?

Get registered with Couch surfing for possible place to STAY: DONE, now to find someone

Purchase fabric for Hakama and Coat: DONE jesus I need to keep track of Jo Ann's sales because 6 yards for 75 cents a yard for a very light denim which is perfect? =D!! DONE. Kosode is going to be made from some unbleached muslin that I got in a garage sale and washed. Scraps will be used for embroider projects.

Bento business stuff
Design brand 'tags' to be printed on cardstock and stapled to bags of goods

Make 15 simple furoshiki $5(five red, five blue, five green, with white fabric)

Make 5 complex furoshiki $10 (use vintage cloth with red, blue, green and 2 white)

Make 3 pumpkin bag furoshiki ($30, basically windfall item)

Either find an old tall wicker wastebasket or see if there's someone who can build a simple wooden backpack of sorts. Otherwise I'll just have to pack and stash a large amount of stock in the car and carry small amounts through the con each day in the wicker picnic basket.

Maybe it's just spring fever and the nice weather, but I just tilled, fed and turned the soil in a spot I hope to grow a little patch of vegetables this year.

That's right, you heard me. I have the urge to garden, and it may be a misplaced biological need to nurture something, or else save a little at the markets, or have some really cool foods in my lunchbox.

So I remember what I want to plant, and how big my space for growing is...

Here's the list

Plot size: 2 ft by 4 ft, heavy clay even after tilling in leaves and grass, low soil depth (not so good for long carrots).

Plants:

Parisienne Carrots: They say I can do these in a windowbox, so we'll have to see.

Green Beans: srsly, these are way too easy to grow and nice to eat that I can't put them onto the list

Onions...eeh. Possible.

Broccoli: a definite WANT...but again not sure how well they'll do.

Heirloom Tomatoes: I got hooked on the tuscan summer tomato soup we did at the bistro and now really want to grow these for the garden so I can make my own soups and sauces.
