Goat & Mole Shoes
Experimental footwear or art? Is there really a difference? Goat Shoes feature hooves and guns (I guess that’s a weapons update on the old stiletto?)
And Moulded Moles are, well, what it sounds like.
Found via this Miao kitty cat shoe post at A tad Too Much Tan For Taupe.
These Ain’t Your Granny’s Stitches
Dale Spender feminism quote in needlework by Rosa Martyn (of My Little Stitches) isn’t the only feminist needlework out there, but it’s a great example of something — a cause, a philosophy, a book — inspiring you into picking up a needle and thread. In this case, Martyn did her cross stitch on the [...]
Stitches In (My) Time
My mother, as she will tell you, is neither a very artsy person nor a very domesticated woman.

I collect a lot of books, images etc. However, because of limited space and [...]
2009, The Year In Quilting
I’m not a quilter — despite the ridiculous number of quilting books (old and new) and boxes of fabric (vintage and modern) I own. I made one honest attempt at making my daughter a crazy quilt… But, well, I’m saving it all for that magical One Day when I’ll have the time and patience to [...]
Heartfelt Needlefelt
