Bookmark Pattern
For those of you that saw my feminist bookmark and thought ‘goodness, I wish I could have one like that!’, you’re in luck!
I have just put the pattern up on etsy for sale as a pdf file. I’ll be putting it together as a kit soon too.
This bookmark has been especially designed for those of us who believe the gender revolution should be a beautiful revolution.
As feminists it is important that we remember the handmade histories of our mothers and grandmothers. This pattern is perfect for conscious raising stitch and bitch meetings. Or, just kicking back on a rainy Sunday afternoon listening to your favourite feminist radio show.
Feminist Bookmark
International Women’s Day is always a special day for me because I like to spend the day reviewing the last year of my own life through a feminist lens. I also like to spend time remembering all of the women who have fought and died for the freedoms I now enjoy.
This year I spent a good part of the day with my feet up in my design hub (craft room) listening to an awesome interview with Kathy from whipup.net on the Craft Sanity podcast – very inspirational, you should definitely subscribe. And while I got an earful of a wonferfully inspiring conversation I did some stitching.
And made this.
This is for a kit that I’m putting together which will be available for you to buy soon.
In the meantime, or if you have no interest in learning how to cross stitch (pfft) or if you have too many other projects on the go and you really wish you could have this one; this one is for sale. And it comes with a free copy of Hoop-La for a bit of inspiration.
You can buy it here.

On another note, I think I’m becoming obsessed with the language of spam. Is there any linguists out there studying it? Today I got some spam through this site which complimented me on such a beautiful domain name. I was truly touched.
