Cool things I have come across while surfing the web

Inside my Mind:


Sewing Resources:


Programs I Use:

  • SponsorBlock : allows you to skip in-video sponsored segments on YouTube
  • DeArrow : changes click-bait thumbnails and video titles to crowdsourced alternatives
  • UBlock Origin : standard all-around addblocker
  • Productivity Desktop Pet : (windows only) reminds you to drink water & take breaks, plus timer & other features!

Making Stuff Inspiration:

I watch a lot of makers, but here I am highlighting amateurs. I find watching amateurs to be way more inspirational than watching professionals! These are people who do similar projects and techniques as the things you'll find on my site.


Visit my friends:


The Raggedy Ann Revial Effort, check in to keep up with the latest news involving the revival of the Rag Dolly musical.

Jonath Ochs! A fellow reclaimed material sewist & fiber artist. Sometimes we sew together.

I do lots of shows here, check out their archive.

Landing page for the Fogtown series and FMV game. Learn more about the project.

Dustin! A clown friend of mine who is doing cool theater and adding to his patch jackets.

Portland area resources, mutual aid, and zines.

Portland area theater festival with a fun and spooky site! Browse through past shows and keep an eye on next year's lineup.

Portfolio of Adam Ende/The Jawbone Puppet theater. Awesome puppeteer and storyteller that inspires me a whole lot!

Local Portland place for resalvaged materials and art supplies, I used to volunteer here a bunch and I still get most of my fabric here.
