A very quick post today , the sun is shining and I'm outta here asap.
Cotton & paint summer edition
Comes with some very cute transfers
and ideas of what to do with them
Nice bags
Cute teddies
Crocheted things with step by step photo instructions.
Pretty corsages
Little elephant tray and cup stands
Baby cape
Lovely purse
And this looks like the new print gocco machine
I'm not sure, but it looks like you can print images of this quality directly onto fabric,
If that's the case, I'm moving to Japan.
In the meantime, we are off to the seaside for an hour or two.
I hope the sun is shining on you too. : )
Happy happy weekend everyone !
Wow, that magazine looks great. And wonderful news about the gocco if that's what it is. You're the coolest kid in school, always ahead with the latest news.
Enjoy the sunshine!

I am obsessing about Japanese craft and craft books at the moment. It seems like everyone else is also. They seem to have the most incredible sense of design when it comes to textiles.
Love your blog!

This mag looks great. I have been searching the net and have found it on www.kitty-craft.com and it seems they ship internationally. I might just try it.

Thank you for sharing the magazine. I am very tempted to get it from Kitty Craft. I loved the bag with the ties so much I made my own version here last night.

Hope Exmouth was fun. We were on Slapton and Preston Sands last week. Miss it already. I sent you an e-mail but don't know if you'll get it, so here's my e-mail again, in brief. Do you recommend Typepad and which package do you use? Am seriously considering swapping as my blog is in the doldrums (not my fault - have you seeeeen it!!!) :)
Posted by: Kate | June 06, 2006 at 06:35 PM
