PlaiderPillar's Studio

I moved into Hot Shops 222 in October of 2007, and here's what's happened since. Added sewing machines, switched roomies, bought more fabric... At last I feel like it's settled down. Sandie (JayeStar) and I are now sharing the space, and we spent some time last week movin' 222 into the state you see it now. Much more inviting, and much more functional with the new layout. (Notice the additional Codes in the last picture.)

How the PlaiderPillars travel

My Honda Ruckus

So maybe it's not exactly a sewn item, but I thought you'd want to see how the monsters get around Omaha. My brother helped me completely change my '07 Ruckus this winter, and now it's finally getting nice enough to ride. It's so fun!

Want one?

Want one?

The lovely Miss Cake loaned me her button-maker, and I went to town! But in order to get one of these hot little mamas, you gotta go to the Omaha Craft Mafia Open House! More to follow....

Smokin' on Easter

Smokin' on Easter....Don't worry...candy cigarettese & K Smokin' on Easter...just candy cigarettesSmokin' on Easter....Don't worry...candy cigarettesSmokin' on Easter....Don't worry...candy cigarettesSmokin' on Easter....Don't worry...candy cigarettesSmokin' on Easter....Don't worry...candy cigarettes

They're just candy cigarettes. But still...don't let the kids see us. I mean, we're just a walking ad for coolness in smoking. That's how Easter goes. And that's not Jesus smoking with us. My brother's beard is just getting to lumberjack-awesomeness-level. And remember...if your shrimp levels are getting low, increase white wine levels immediately.

Bruce Pants is his name. The Monster, not my brother or dad.

Site is almost done! Cody is a busy guy, so I made him a deal: I'll start blogging about progress on a monster, and when the site is totally done, he can have it. So check back, and we'll just see if Cody is faster at finishing a site than I am at blogging about the monster.

Still a few odds and ends to update around here, but I believe you'll be able to find all that you're looking for. I'm going to the studio now to make more things for you to look at.

Thanks for visiting the PlaiderPillar! As you can see, Thanksgiving involved some sewing, snacking, and wool rovings, so you know there's something in the works. Soon, when you visit, there will be links to friends and Internet Explorer users will be able to see this in all its glory. Until then, why doncha check out the goods and gallery? Stop back soon...more to come!
