Today I am working from home - I have a sick little boy and have been
up and down with him all night - I slept in the spare bed in his room
so I could pass the sick bucket to him when needed. This morning I
woke with a neck cramp, chickens at the back door, a warm cat and a
lovely cup of coffee. I have also finally started actively using
Twitter, (thought these
quilts on craftster were amazing) Nicole set up an account for
whipup ages ago and now its actively being monitored - follow whipup on twitter here - read
this article at croqzine about the benefits of twitter for your
business.
Featured posts this past week include this article about
Rosa Pomar's designs being ripped off : these finger
puppets look fun and easy to knit : I love Lizzie Buckmaster
Dove's work
: sort of obsessing over the whole field bag thing - how
to make it and what to
put in it : did you see Jodi's upholstered selvedge chair - amazing
: I also really dug the paper
telephone sculpture : and did you catch the cardboard
cities - must make one of these with the kids : and the paper
dolls knitted t-shirt is so fantastic - perhaps my highlight for
the whole week.
