mixtape has just embarked on a joint venture with Whipup. We will both be sharing our ideas, cool links and general goings on.
My aim is to post once a week and give you a “round up” of the week that has been. The post will be put up on the mixtape blog and also on the Whipup blog.

The week that was:Well it’s the end of the month and the end of an era for mixtape. We decided a few weeks ago that as of the 31st of March 2009 we would stop printing back issues (1-7). They will however are be available to purchase as a PDF file as of March 31st. What this means is that every issue beginning with the current (8) is a collectors item, a one off professional print job!
Did I tell you that mixtape will be at the Stitches & Craft Show in Brisbane from 29 April – 3 May 2009. You just gotta come and check out the incubator section, see handmade nation and check out the tea cosy revolution. There are still all your traditional stands and the like mixed in with a lot of new. I’m looking forward to meeting all the Brissy Style chicks!
***I am looking for people to help me out during the show just for a few hours each day, please email me at feedback.mixtapezineATgmailDOT com if you are interested and want to find out more***
Mixtape has finally gone and got a proper mail list updater, please join us.

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.
Other tutes featured this week: love the stuffed donkey : the giant granny square : the fabric lunch bag : the ashlar crochet cardigan is very sweet : adjust your dressform for accurate sewing : zippered felt pouch tutorial was very clear : mikes easter crafts roundup will get you started on your easter crafting :
In discussion – a bit about soulemama and her latest projects : crafty buggers – great craft debate centred around perceived elitism in the craft community.
Once again thanks for reading and happy crafting everyone!
Thank you Nicole
