Its just past four in the morning and I find myself in my basement workshop unable to get to sleep. An all too common condition these days. So… What better to do than to make a blog! Seriously, I have a laptop, typing is quieter than running the dremmel or banging out metal, and its been on my to try list for about a year.

I love to make things. I work largely with found items, cobbling together what I want/need from what I have. On occasions I’ll be gifted with a truly fine tool, paint, clay, etc. and find myself staring at it for months before I can work up the will to use it. Its just SO perfect. *laugh* Whereas I’ll put something together out of nails, cardboard, fimo, cloth and whatever else I happen to find and I actually USE it. The result has been a basement workshop that I’m truly comfortable in.

Currently I’ve been fueling my late-night addiction with cruising steampunk images and attempting to absorb the whole of the Instructables website. It is really addictive. So be warned. :)

Some other Items I’ve been looking at and some of my own stuff.
