One of the things I love about CO+K is that there are lots of projects that are not gender-specific. Dalek cupcakes spring to mind. Guaranteed to make any geek-boy want to get crafty.

Check out my new project, White Rolled Cookies (Sugar Cookies), documenting our daddy/daughter holiday cookie baking. I posted it mostly for the amusement value, but the recipe itself (my mother's) is actually quite good.
Here is Chef Ripley posing with her baking consultant:

We like using subway and bus maps.
I'm trying to clear a workspace and get all things in order for my new collage project. Also, I got Ancient Egypt cookie cutters at the Brooklyn Museum so my daughter and I can bake holiday cookies this weekend. Santa and the tree are banished this year!
Very, very cool.
My partner Michelle has been very crafty this month as she's been out of work because of the Broadway stagehands' strike. She's been perfecting her knitting skills, making sweaters and hats for our daughter and for our friend Beth, who's having a baby in a couple of months. Now the strike is settled and she's back to work.
I like cut out & keep because it feels like a real community--and the diversity of offbeat projects, of course!
I found this site through 52projects.com, which is useful but kind of impersonal.
I've also found some interesting stuff at diyplanner.com. Turns out I've been Mindmapping all this time and didn't even know it!
I think MySpace and Vampire Nurse take the cake (or the pumpkin).
I'm looking forward to completely gothing out on Halloween, something I haven't done since my daughter was born three years ago 'cause I just haven't had the time or energy...
I keep getting thwarted by work. But I'm trying to work on concept pages for a new comic.
That reminds me of when I was a kid, during the first big wave of Star Wars mania. We couldn't afford the expensive playsets for the action figures, so I used to build big ones out of boxes and styrofoam and toilet paper tubes. Pill bottles made excellent detention cells! But the action figures were much skinnier then than they are these days.
