March 2010
If you were reading my twitter posts today you would have found out 2 things. The first is that I ran over my finger with my long-arm quilting machine – put the timing out on my machine, bandaged up my gash, and then had to await my husband to fix it – in the meantime I wrote this newsletter, drank sweet tea and ate chocolate to recover from the stupidity of it all. The second thing was the announcement of the release of Whip Up Mini Quilts
Don’t forget to pass on to friends this info and voucher to advertise with whipup – link peruse the info sheet (I have a pdf and use this 15% discount voucher when booking an ad between now and 1 April ‘March2010wKcH65‘.
Some great content on whipup this month too … its not all about me :) We did a fantastic refashion roundup – this t-shirt grocery bag is one of my faves … reviewed some great books and featured lots of easter friendly crafts.

Felt Me a Smile: Heart-made Projects to Make and Give
Felt me a smile, was originally published as ‘Pass me a smile‘ last year in Australia and the UK – it is the same book – just a different cover – I think I preferred the original cover image – and the project that appeared on the Au and UK cover is available as a how-to at the storque.
This book has been described as quirky, and it does have that cute minimal Japanese craft book feel – not surprising considering that the author is originally from Japan, although now resides in Australia. Her adorable little felted projects are accompanied by funny little quotes – it is all rather endearing. I did have a little trouble with the not too clear photos on some of the projects – making them quite difficult to make out at times. But overall this is a special and quite lovely book.
