:: February 26, 2006 Whip Up
I've been brought into the Whip Up fold. Thanks Kathreen for inviting me! My profile is up, which I guess will be this site's surrogate "About" page too. I will be posting about quilting and fabric mostly: I plan on an "art quilter of the week" post which will be a learning experience for me, so if you have a favorite art quilter -- or hell, know of ANY art quilter, let me know.

Threadbared has one mission, and it is to ridicule old sewing and craft patterns. Like this one, about which I am speechless, but fortunately they are not:

Time is at a premium now that school is back in session (back? It's almost midterms. sheesh). It was rumored that this year would be easier than the last, but so far it's just as time-consuming and energy-sucking. I'm at an off-campus placement doing real-world speech pathology for three days a week. It's in a rehab hospital, so the patients are around two-three weeks post-brain surgery/brain injury/stroke, which is very interesting but also very challenging. Anyway, between this and full-time school plus T.A.ing plus more clinical responsibilities at school, I have zero time for crafts. Although last night, to distract me from the worst movie ever (The Day After Tomorrow) I finally finished a simple garter stitch Homespun scarf that I've been plugging away at since ... early this summer. Sad.
So I live vicariously through others who are more talented than myself. I'd like to think that if I had time I'd be a powerful combination of Wee Wonderfuls and Craftlog. Wee Wonderfuls seems to have some amazing completed project to show off every single day, and when she doesn't she shares her fabulous tastes in 60s-70s children's illustration. Craftlog has also been on an illustration and art link kick lately (all of them awe-inspiring), and likewise has the craft productivity to put you and I to shame. One of my remaining comforts is to look online regularly at fabric, which brings me to a link via WW: Cotton Bow Wow, a Japanese outfit that apparently does not ship to the U.S. but hopefully is a sign of future domestic fabric trends. I'm not so into the Asian prints (not that I'd refuse them or anything), but dig these Tequila Sisters, and this mono-mono line.
Yum! OK, one more link from Wee Wonderfuls: Pashupatina necklaces, which makes me want to 1. order a necklace 2. get into beads, which I have never up till now been inspired to do. And back to the insufficiencies of this site: I log in pretty much every day to fight comment spam, so the least I could do is say hello. It might be exclusively fabric links for the time being, so hang with me. posted by in Inspiration , Other Weblogs :: link
