Stand By Me video

Sometimes I forget how the song goes, so I want to show a video of some guys in Indiana singing "Stand By Me" here. The guys are a little slow starting, but its worth the wait

The words, substituting "Jesus" for "darlin'", are in the June 12 post.

The Hyperbolic Plane Neck Ruff

Mr. P is a wonderful husband.

He's been listening to me go on about hyperbolic space for awhile now. When I told him the hyperbolic plane, at its current stage, might do for a neck ruff (I'm thinking costume or a way for a math instructor to wake up students) he agreed to model it. I did actually tell him that if I used the photos on etsy I'd crop them so his face didn't show.

However, I'm using them here because he's so obviously patient in his pain of being seen on the front porch wearing a ruff. Isn't he wonderful?

Indeed the LYS had more Peaches&Cream cotton in Sunburst. Lorene has been so helpful. You can find her at

Origami T-Shirt

Below is the link to a couple of very short videos showing a novel way to fold a t-shirt (you know, after laundry). I highly recommend watching the Japanese woman. She gets high points for style. I learned how to do it from the guy in the second video, who is much slower.

First Sale On Etsy

The Vintage Red Hat sold!

New items in shop

I've added several items to the etsy shop. We seem to be expanding our products to include supplies and vintage items.

Found this vintage red hat today. The Red Hat Society ladies wear such with a purple dress. Quite elegant.

Then there's another wonderful Christmas origami book, in English. Three year olds in Japan do this. I hate to admit it, but the ten year olds in America I know have trouble with it. Of course my Nephew was quite good at it quite young. I'd send him folded samples from Japan, and he'd unfold it and then make his own like it. Such dextrous talent.

Found the orange cotton I needed to continue with the hyperbolic plane. We'll see, but I think it might make a great mathematical neck wrap. It would look good on kids who wear black.

Thanks for stopping by. Comments are welcome.
