A variation of the original Baltic birch cover journals for <a href="http://www.renegadecraft.com/chicago" target="_blank">Renegade Chicago</a>! This new version has been stained with a dark walnut wood stain. I think they look quite stately. <br /><br />
Excited to be bringing them to Chicago!<br /><br />

The birch pattern is printed and designed by me! I've wanted to print my own log fabric for a while now and I finally got an opportunity to. Huzzah! I used the Print Gocco and I'm pretty pleased with the result.<br/><br/>
Currently, there is only the plush version of the birch log keychains, but there are two versions of the original log keychains: plush and floating (they float on water. Really!)<br/><br/>
If you're going to be at Renegade Chicago, come by our tent to check them out!<br/><br/>

Oh, and to discuss the reconstruction of said t-shirt:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33643692@N08/5656020555/" title="front and back by killside krafts, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 475px; height: 354px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5145/5656020555_952e2fa7ee_z.jpg" width="640" height="478" alt="front and back"></a><br />And in typical procrastinator fashion, we didn't get to making the dress until the weekend before the event. Kalpna came over and worked on her playlist for the party while I sewed and made her try on the dress about 50 times before we decided it was good enough. Making something for someone else to wear is HARD (even if it is a simple tube dress. Pfft.) <br /><br />Finished product and random photos from the event below:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33643692@N08/5656020789/" title="the dress by killside krafts, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Who knows. I spent them with my friends Laziness and Apathy. But on day four of <a href="http://www.wavelengthtoronto.com/show/2010/11/eleven-wavelength-11th-anniversary-festival-22-bands-5-nights-5-venues">Wavelength</a>, we went to see <a href="http://www.myspace.com/hoodedfang" target="_blank">Hooded Fang</a> at The Great Hall. Things were going well until a group in front (it's always a group in front) decided it would be a good idea to dance aggressively. And by dance aggressively I mean pushing and shoving people. Oh well, I had moved up to the balcony for better photo opportunities by that point and was enjoying the view from there. My days of standing around in pushing and shoving crowds are over.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33643692@N08/5509744163/" title="wavelength eleven: day four by killside krafts, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 475px; height: 318px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5254/5509744163_16b4cced76_z.jpg" width="640" height="428" alt="wavelength eleven: day four" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33643692@N08/5510345952/" title="wavelength eleven: day four by killside krafts, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 475px; height: 318px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5013/5510345952_6015a6266b_z.jpg" width="640" height="428" alt="wavelength eleven: day four" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33643692@N08/5510346294/" title="wavelength eleven: day four by killside krafts, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 475px; height: 318px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5252/5510346294_2ca7a328a1_z.jpg" width="640" height="428" alt="wavelength eleven: day four" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33643692@N08/5510346772/" title="wavelength eleven: day four by killside krafts, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 475px; height: 318px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5060/5510346772_4f207240e2_z.jpg" width="640" height="428" alt="wavelength eleven: day four" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33643692@N08/5509746237/" title="wavelength eleven: day four by killside krafts, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 475px; height: 318px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5134/5509746237_f8788496f8_z.jpg" width="640" height="428" alt="wavelength eleven: day four" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33643692@N08/5510348116/" title="wavelength eleven: day four by killside krafts, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 475px; height: 318px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5057/5510348116_74fbecc88c_z.jpg" width="640" height="428" alt="wavelength eleven: day four" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33643692@N08/5509750487/" title="wavelength eleven: day four by killside krafts, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 475px; height: 318px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5255/5509750487_108ecd755c_z.jpg" width="640" height="428" alt="wavelength eleven: day four" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33643692@N08/5509751053/" title="wavelength eleven: day four by killside krafts, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 475px; height: 318px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5134/5509751053_7cb7179a52_z.jpg" width="640" height="428" alt="wavelength eleven: day four" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33643692@N08/5509751871/" title="wavelength eleven: day four by killside krafts, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 475px; height: 318px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5100/5509751871_89133e3aca_z.jpg" width="640" height="428" alt="wavelength eleven: day four" /></a>killside kraftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03264364484189532886noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510678493793111009.post-24941397767122063502011-02-23T09:50:00.005-05:002011-02-24T12:50:51.653-05:00wavelength eleven: day oneWent to a couple shows for this year's Wavelength (<a href="http://www.wavelengthtoronto.com/show/2010/11/eleven-wavelength-11th-anniversary-festival-22-bands-5-nights-5-venues">Wavelength 11th Anniversary Festival</a>).<br /><br />On day one, <a href="http://www.deadweightisgreat.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sandi's</a> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/theguestbedroom" target="_blank">band</a> played at The Boat!

So, Sandi and I got together recently to do a post City of Craft exchange. Fun times ensued. I was talking too fast and eating too slow so I completely forgot to take photos to commemorate our candle lit dinner at <a href="http://www.petitdejeuner.ca/" target="_blank">Le Petit Dejeuner</a>. And the goods that were exchanged. Photo above was taken a few days later when I got unlazy and went outside when there was light. We all need some magic in our lives.killside kraftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03264364484189532886noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510678493793111009.post-4120877708140759022011-01-19T13:12:00.008-05:002011-01-19T15:22:29.161-05:00city of craft 2010!<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33643692@N08/5314290009/" title="city of craft 2010 by killside krafts, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 475px; height: 318px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5201/5314290009_b77081a353_z.jpg" width="600" height="402" alt="city of craft 2010" /></a><br />Another long overdue post, but you know.

Highlights of the film include: awkwardness, John K. shaving while talking to the camera, John K. waxing poetic about clean laundry, the band canoeing, concert footage, roasting bacon wrapped marshmallows (...yeah). All in all, a very entertaining doc. Could've used a bit more behind the scene band footage and less concert footage, but, still fun! Oh yeah, and John K. did a short solo set before they showed the film. Nice!killside kraftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03264364484189532886noreply@blogger.com0
