Urban Craft Uprising wrap-up

We went to Urban Craft Uprising [1] on Saturday and on the way I discovered that there was no memory card in my camera, so I didn't get to take any pictures. But I did find a bunch of businesses that I liked: [2] Morse code necklaces by Coatt [3]. (Secret messages!) [4] Posters by Row Boat Press [5], this Night Flight diptych is also glow in the dark. [6] Simple jewelry by Foamy Wader [7]. I bought myself these [8] in silver, they are delightfully light weight. [9] Really fun bias tape from Polly Danger [10]. [11] Gorgeous enameled jewelry by Alisha Louise [12], you get to chose your color for each piece. I have my eye on this pull-though necklace. [13] These chiffon earrings from Muchodesign [14], she had a whole tree of them and they were delightfully flitty. Is that a word? [15] An LED Sewing Kit from Sternlab [16] which was sold by the lovely Moxie [17], who offers this Needle Felted Coin Cell Battery Pack [18] tutorial so you can create your own glowy pendant. [19] Jewelry by Dottyspeck [20]. I have some earrings similar to this design that I picked up from the CakeSpy [21] Shop and adore them. See also: I listed businesses I went to see there [22] in a previous post. Love them all.

May Birthday Giveaway: good stuff from Rakka Deer

Today I'm happy to have a bunch of goods from local artist Rakka Deer [1], aka Kris. She's got style and wit, and she's got a huge number of projects going on at any given time. It amazes me. Besides Rakka Deer [2] and her Etsy shop [3] she has 37 Confections [4], Stupid Fucking Awesome [5], Excheckered [6], Pax and Ak [7], Skull Diggery [8], Suspect and Fugitive [9], a Tumblr [10] and Glitter Pissing [11]. She's offering up some good stuff from her shop: a six pack of geek cards [12], a thread painting [13] and a six pack of Inigo Montoya [14] cards featuring a drawing she did of the character over a pile of Hello My Name Is stickers (this still makes me laugh). And while I'm talking about Rakka Deer please allow me to mention this: Recently the town she grew up in was devastated by the tornadoes and flooding along the Mississippi so she's raising money by holding a Bake Sale for the South [15], which is happening at the Cakespy Shop [16] here in Seattle on Saturday, May 14th at 11 a.m. I'll be baking for it (something in jars, but of course). Also on Saturday is the Great American Bake Sale for ?Share Our Strength? at the uptown Metropolitan Market starting at 9:30 a.m. Two bake sales! Seattle is in luck. To win the package of items from Rakka Deer please leave a comment with this website. You've got until Saturday, May 14th at 10 a.m. PST to enter, the fine print [17] applies. If you'd like something to chat about answer this question: What is your favorite thing to make for, or buy at, bake sales? Clearly I enjoy making stuff in jars. Alright, good luck!

Styled magazine

The second issue of Styled [1] magazine is out today! (Styled is an online magazine and it's free.) I'm so excited to tell you that I have an Autumn project in it! I made pie dough lattice cookies that are meant to sit on top of a mug of hot apple cider. I cannot wait to see the rest of the issue. And this time it's also available in print [2] through MagCloud. I took a set of photos showing how to create the lattice that couldn't fit into the spread so I'm including them here. (Typical, when asked for three photos I send two dozen!) This is something I learned while watching the old Martha Stewart show (memories!), and you can see it on the Martha Stewart site right here [3]. Also a tip for my cookies: once these are cut it's easier to remove the dough around them than to try to move them one by one onto a cookie sheet. Instead lift up the parchment they are on and slide it onto your baking sheet, I used a cutting board as a sort of peel. I'm sad to see summer gone, but I'm also looking forward to sweaters and hot cider! Click through to see the complete pie lattice how-to. Roll out two rounds of dough, rolling each between two layers of parchment will make this super easy. Cut into strips. Move the strips apart carefully. Fold back every other slice. Lay down one strip of dough from the other section of dough. Fold the strips back. Now fold the other strips of down back over the one you just laid down. Put down another strip of dough from the other set. Fold the strips back flat. Continue on like that until you've got a full lattice. Cut out the cookies, and... ... remove the excess dough from around them instead of trying to move them. Ta da! (They are also dabbed with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar before baking.)
