Julie at The Hand Mirror shared this awesome poster, which I think I’ve seen before, but always deserves a showing
I promised a finished cross stitch and now I’m finally delivering! I’ve been slowly working on this one for a couple of months now and I’m so happy to see it finished!
It’s is an antique (c. 1860’s) inspired floral border surrounding the text ‘Don’t Bleed on the Carpet’. I’ve subtitled it ‘if you’re [...]
Here’s a very cute use of cross stitch in art. Flickr user Sparklyvodka (great name, like her already!) made these as a final project for an art course. These are all based on things the celebrities would never say. Although I wonder if there should be (in private) at the end of that statement..
Welcome to all the visitors from Sew, Mama, Sew! I’m so honoured to be a part of such an inspirational project. I’ve already made two things and have a long list of other projects to do. Hope you find this tutorial useful
We all know that making our own things is [...]
Once in a previous web incarnation I wrote:
Even having fun is political. And the most political fun stuff you can do is stuff that costs no money! Screw the GDP!
So here’s Tara having fun for free.
This is Tara in her spaceship. It’s just a box lined with a blanket and she loves [...]
Despite previous claims of exploiting Tara for political gain, I haven’t really done it too much at all. Yeah she is the founding leader of BAdGE (Babies Against Genetic Engineering), and she has been to a few protests, but still…
But we bought her this tshirt and I have to show it off cause she’s [...]
I got a whole lot of booties when Tara was born. And I mean a WHOLE LOT of bootie!
So much bootie in fact that I’m gonna sell some of the hand-made ones to raise money for Sids and Kids. S&K is an awesome NGO that has probably the best success record out of any [...]
We bought the book The Gift of Nothing for Tara for her six month birthday (yes it’s been that long!). This is a truly gorgeous book which celebrates how special the present of our time can be for our friends and loved ones.
I really liked this book as it tells the story beautifully, and [...]
I don’t think there is anything more fun than a baby that’s just learned how to smile! But the interesting thing is watching them learn to respond to you. It would be nice to get some good ideas around how to best encourage your baby to learn new things. Searching the internet is often fruitless [...]
May I introduce to you all my lovely new daughter, Tara.
She’s seriously clever and beautiful and adorable and magical and all those other words that parents use (but I mean extra ’cause of course, Tara is that extra wee bit special than all the other babies!)
Tara was born on the 7th of February 2007, weighing [...]
Just so y’all know, I’m like, due to have a baby this week. So if I vanish for, let’s say, 5 days or more you can probably safely assume the imminent explosion has arrived.
Maybe even Asher could tell you all. Since he’s supposed to make some kind of blog announcement if I die, [...]
Warning: this is a looooong post
An acquaintance of mine was once overheard bemoaning activist women having children because it took them out of the movement. His argument was that there are so few efficient organisers around that it’s a shame when one of them gets ‘taken away’ to have children.
This has to be [...]
Big ups to Stephen DeVoy for his Anarchist Stories for Children book. Share it with your friends (big or small).
