I wish I had a decent working camera so I could post pictures of what I'm starting but I'm working on it! I'm supposed to pick up a camera from Freecycle on Monday, so hopefully it'll work! I got one for five bucks from someone on craigslist (who said it would work) and then I get home, put batteries in it and nothing. So at least this time I won't be paying anything other than metro fare!

So anywho! I made these cool buttons from an old flyer for this weird anarchist (or psuedo-anarchist) fantasy game that sounded like something out of Anarchy in the Age of Dinosaurs . Weird. And the flyer also had a zine-like, black-and-white, cut-and-paste style. So of course I had to do something with it! Ta-da, buttons!

Cross stitch is something that I have been meaning to start for years now. I had the hoop, embroidery floss, tapestry needle, special cloth, and instruction booklet for a year and a half now, but I was just too intimidated, too busy and too full of excuses to just do it. But there's something about summer that just made me get off my butt and do it! So now I am working on a cross stitch patch that says, "FEMINIST". I'm really excited!

I'll post pictures as soon as humanly possible, promise!
