For the love of stripes

So much been going on lately, have finished two wholesale orders, whoohoo! Finished my printsy swap. Can't wait to see the prints everyone contributed with the theme, seasons. Will post when they arrive. Had a bit of a manic crafty moment when I thought I'd nearly completed a linocut for the printsy exchange when I realised I had done all the type (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter) backwards. I was four letters away from completing, yep was a bit kicking myself in the pants for this one. Printed it and thought I could put a metaphoric twist on the backwards mishap. You know, well it may be winter here, but in the northern hemisphere it's summer and blah, blah, yeah didn't make any sense, looked crap and started again.
Oh well, onward crafty soldiers.................

RIP Singer Sewer 1993-2008

So the sewer died and it is indeed a sad, sad day. I loved my Singer sewer. It was a full metal sewer with only minor bits of plastic, not like the complete horror plastic numbers on offer nowadays. I can't bear to throw it just yet so it is languishing under my bed until I decide it's fate. Could turn it into a sculpture of some sorts. Must put my crafty mind to recyling possibilities or is this going too far? I was watching some very bad craft show the other day, as you do when crafting, and some nutter even had a tattoo of her sewer on her arm. Now ladies I'm all for lovin' the sewer, but plu-lease this is just tramp stamp craftiness gone wrong. In the meantime I've welcomed a new edition to the family a Janome Sewist, sounds so posh, and is so quiet. The Singer used to rock the table and was a tad, well let's be honest, freight train noisy. Midnight sewing was definitely frowned upon when the Singer was involved.
In other news, my article in the wonderful mixtape is in this month's edition. So crafters if you want the lowdown on lino cut printing go get yourself a copy here.
