destashing. HA!
Yesterday i took a friend to Mokuba. And tell me pray thee how could i resist these iridescent lovelies?
Especially after finding they were less than a Euro? There's not a thing that costs lees than a € these days. Plus they are full of stories that will be. Eventually :)
Notice they come with a lollipop. Need i say more?
Other snippets.
This is for dyers and weavers, especially silk lovers. The project is a very interesting sustainable cottage industry and the article is via Design Boom. Enjoy!
Downloaded last night the new Firefox in a rush as the organization was trying to establish a record for one day d'loads. So far so good except that my beloved Pera-pera kun for reading Japanese pages is not compatible with the new version. Neither is Rikaichan. Guess that after doing my good deed of the day i'll uninstall Firefox 3 and go back to the older version. Can't live without Pera-kun.

june TIF more thoughts
Altered materials are embedded with potential stories.
i spent my time off the loom this weekend doing some machine stitching on
Solvy.It's a funner as you dissolve the backing and the threads remain, curling in place. i'm building a small (emphasis on the small) stash for projects i want to tackle and it will also serve the purpose of this month's TIF
The next fun thing i discovered was that i can use some odd yarn remains from past projects as bobbin thread.These are hand dyed silk yarns and you can guess what a fine grist they are, like sewing thread! Therefore this stash creating project comes along with destashing too.
i finally located some poly felt. And it came with an anecdote. i asked the man at the store whether the felt was poly and if it would burn. Oh no madam!, our felt is 100%wool felt said he. Looking at the dubious shine in the felt i said - it's just too bad because i'm looking for felt that can burn. He looked at me with a very serious look and said -in that case this is your felt, madam.
Isn't this a case of Harry -put- on -the -green-light -the- man- wants- a -green- suit- or what?
