Wow. I totally killed the yeast in this batch of bread. It didn't rise at *all*. I've never done that before. Go team Kit. :P Guess I get to start /that/ over. :P

I'm supposed to be editing PHOENIX. Instead I'm writing an introduction for ursulav's new art book that ellenmillion is working on. This has, among other things, FORCED me (forced, I tell you) to ( Read more... )

but we 'do' have fabric stores... Maybe not as big as the american versions but i can point you to two in the city centre. And there are some great Art and Hobby stores. So you could, like, take up Jewellery Making, Embrodery or Knitting etc. (i just adore the wool shop in the english market, it really makes me wish i could crocet better!)

You just have to 'ask'!

Dude, I wish I could spell!

Well, the problem has been that the fabric stores we've found have been mostly for curtain and drapery material, with a little stuff for formal wear and a *very* little stuff like cotton or wool. We've found very very little that a person might want to actually make clothes with. But perhaps your stores are better, 'cause you know where things are! :)

hum...
Weaving is a good hobby.
You could settle down, get a few sheep, a few fields of cotten and flax.
And don't forget the goats.

No worries, I thought you were a lunatic before. ;)

mizkit April 13 2006, 13:08:37 UTC

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks. :)

Welcome! What else are friends for? ;-)

ursulav April 13 2006, 12:58:52 UTC

And I'm delighted that you're writing the intro, too!

mizkit April 13 2006, 13:08:22 UTC

Oh good. *beam* I was ridiculously pleased at the prospect. :)

"debela explained to me that a hobby is not something you pursue full-bore all the time."

*jaw drops*

I have just been stricken by the clue-hammer.

As for the macrame...you could knot some clothing, I suppose, although it might be a bit drafty for Ireland.

That was sort of how I felt, too. :)

God, no. Macrame clothing really is 1960s, and it was ugly then. I'm not that desperate.

We of the Fashion Police are pleased to hear it.

What kind of fabric did you want? I have fabric under the spare room bed. I have *lots* of fabric under the spare room bed. I have ... you get the idea.
