If you do go with foam packing peanuts, maybe put them in trash bags first. That way if one of the seems becomes a little stretched peanuts wont be falling out. Also, If something (like beer) is spilled, it will only allow it to go into the fur, and not soak into the peanuts and leave nasty old drink smells.junglesmacks wrote:Ordered 9 yards of faux cheetah fur from Distinctive Fabrics.. planning on doing 3 x 3 yard rectangles with rounded triangle ends.

Looks like I caught the end of the July 20% discount.. it's only 15% this month. Use coupon code ALL810 when you checkout..

Does anyone know NV paraphernalia laws? I'd love to bring some nice big (tobacco) water pipes and bubblers to gift out as well but I have a no tolerance policy for anything remotely illegal in my vehicle.. Some states are crazy these days on anything even remotely related to items that may or may not have illegal intent and I know that NV has some pretty draconian drug laws..

think fishy is going ot have a horrible, jelous sulk...VeganChoirGirl wrote:Totally beautiful. Glass is a wonderful gift. Each one is a little unique and it's something someone can wear on AND off the playa. For people like me who cannot boldly proclaim their love for the playa at work or in other parts of their default life can wear it and have that little bit of home with them.EmilyD wrote:mmmmmmm glass preetttty! I love glass, love working with it and looking at it. It's like candy. This is a lovely gift idea.junglesmacks wrote: Yup.. flat with loops on them. I figure do a bunch of those.. a bunch of just marbles for pocket items of fun.. a couple HUGE 2" marbles for nice gifts... Anything silly thing I can think of out of glass..

Started decorating Mr. OhCarie's shorts, knowing that he feels most comfortable in his cargo shorts I took an old pair and covered it in fur, cut outs from tee shirts and iron-ons.
I have funky outfits for him, but come day 2 or 3..he's gonna regress back to his ol' stand-bys--I know him.

LOL Thanks VCG (can I call you that?) Actually the grass is kind of weirdly geometric and the shade is on three different kinds of surfaces. It's holding steady though in 40 mile an hour winds no problem. We only staked three of the six legs.VeganChoirGirl wrote:AWESOME!EmilyD wrote:It took me all day to make the end panels for the shade structure. I was able to at least cut the other four panels. I will hem and grommet them on Wed. I look forward to this big project being done so I can get back to fun stuff like my coat and boot spats.
I also like how it appears your yard is the exact same size as the shade! Too perfect!
Our dear friend Bob bent us some Playa staples out of rebar today. It's 18" rebar bent into a "U" shape. It'll hold things down nicely. He said to just pry it out with a pick. It'll also be flush with the ground so a solar light and some safety tape ought to be enough warning for folks.
You don't have to be skinny, naked and under 30 to be a Hottie!
Eventually, I'll have a long post on the blog about what all I've been getting done...http://playabound.wordpress.com

I;m sure you do. I fell in love with glass; it's sort of one of the things fallen by the wayside.junglesmacks wrote:I do make some pretty sweet glass fish.. :wink:theCryptofishist wrote: think fishy is going ot have a horrible, jelous sulk...

I love Tasty Bites - been eating them for years before I took them to BM. I like being able to eat right out of the pouch, and it makes for small moop.Bling wrote:I tried one of our Tasty Bites dinners tonight. It was good! (Yay!)
I wasted my productivity time last night sewing a stripey thing, I used my

as a pattern/model.
And I made something for a secret thing in camp.
Tonight: utility belt and cloak. Gotta finish the basics before on to the finery.
Oh yeah, of course I take them out of the boxes. I take as much packaging off as feasibly possible. If I can move something into smaller or burnable packaging, I do that.Bling wrote:Do you take the Tasty Bites out of the boxes & label the pouches? I think we'll have to do that to reduce packaging & not end up with Mystery Bites.
I'll camp for a week and leave with a grocery bag's worth of trash.
The pouches are imprinted with what's inside - at least the ones I have sitting on my living room floor are...
