WoooOOOoo Hot Sexy New!

Yes folks, to celebrate by 20,000th visitor I decided to give this site a makeover.  Let me know what you think!

Keep your eyes peeled for some hot new bits soon.  I’m super busy right this second with a radio show in an hour, a first birthday tomorrow and a bajillion photos to edit.  So stay tuned….

Technical Interlude

Yeah sorry about that folks.

See I give the impression that I know heaps about computers and shit. But really I’m just pretending. Anything flash I do is usually done by some friendly boy. Although I did make the gallery all by myself!

Thanks HEAPS to the friendly boy who fixed my site (again).

Goodness time flies when you’re having fun.  I moved into this site, thus becoming part of the goonanism mob in August.  Today we hit 10,000 unique visitors!  Hoorar!

This had quite a lot to do with the appearance of the super easy baby hat tutorial on the Sew, Mama, Sew! Handmade Holidays feature (hi everyone from there!).   It’s by far the most popular post on this site and has a number of links to it around the interwebby.  I’ve updated it a bit too so if you were holding back on making one, check it out and you might be more inspired.  If you know any new babies this is a seriously easy one to make.  And the recipient will think you’re really clever!

Gallery! (finally)

Ooh Ooh!  I finally got my shit together and got my gallery sorted.  It all happened because my beloved was gently hassling me last night about fixing another part of the site and I was like ‘no!  if I’m fixing anything on the site, it’s my bloody gallery’.

So I’ve done it.

Check it 

It’s only cross stitch and embroidery so all my other little distractions won’t make it in there.

I must say it is exciting to put everything in one place.  Despite cross stitch being a very very slow craft, I have managed to finish a lot of stuff (although not the first thing I started sshhh).

Now I have even more reason to finish things :)

A new radical cross stitcher

Ladies and gentlemen I’d like to introduce you to a new face that will be hanging around here a bit. Hailing all the way from Sweden, please say hello to Cross Stitch Ninja!

CSN does really cool stuff like this one

The text translates to “put a flame under your rage, sister”. You go girl!

And this is her current work in progress

This is an excerpt from a photo taken at the latest G8 in Germany. Too much eh?

So hang on to your seats for upcoming posts from Cross Stitch Ninja!

Welcome!!

Hi everyone

I have finally finished moving over from the old wordpress.com site.  Well, almost.  I still have a gallery to build, but will get to that soon.

I would love to hear your feedback on this site.  I’ve changed quite a number of things from the old one.  Including creating the links page.  And I’ve started re-writing the Radical Cross Stitch info page.

It’s a work in progress.

So please update your links and change your feeds and hold on for a crazy new ride!

Hey! Clever Pants!

Congratulations if you found this site.

I’m currently migrating from a wordpress.com site and I think I’m about 15 miles away from being ready to say go on this one.

So come back soon.

Or email me at kakarikioteao at gmail dot com and I’ll let you know when it all goes snap crackle poof!

Choice!

Hit 30,000 visitors today!

You guys make me feel so special.

Wow

We hit 20,000 hits today since I moved the site over to WordPress.

How exciting!!!!!!!!!

I’d say more but I’m typing with one hand and jiggling a ten week old baby with the other (she says hi).

Love you all xox

Yay Wellington

Sounds like the Cuba Carnival was fun. Especially with quotes like this in the paper:

Dance troupe Real Hot Bitches believes it broke a world record for the largest number of people to participate in synchronised dancing, with 1852 jiving in Courtenay Place to Bon Jovi’s Shot Through the Heart. The Guinness world record is 876.

Nice!
