I am so proud.....

that I never ever have bought anything from the brand jack wolfskin.

and I swear to high heaven that I never will buy anything from it.

why?

j.w. is sending cease & desist letters to people who are selling their self-made items on dawanda.
the reason is that the sellers have used fabric with paw prints on it. the trademark of j.w. is a wolf paw with claws. but they claim any paw no matter if it is a cat paw, a bear paw or if it is without claws.

for more information please look at the following links:

dawanda

etsy

spiegel-online

and here is a list, where you can find a lot more links.

all I can say is: hit the road jack and don't you come back no more no more no more no more

knock out :-(

hi everybody,

i have promised to show you what i have sewn, but i got ill and i am still ill :(.

and i will be still ill in future :(.

the disease is psoriasis. and the main affection are my hands and my feet and this is the most insistent kind of psoriasis. that hurts so much that sewing is not possible.

at the moment i visit the day hospital for the second time now. the first time i was there for 5 1/2 weeks and after three weeks i am there again and also my body shows now some spots of psoriasis :-(.

i hope that i can continue my hobby when my hands are getting better. touching fabric is not enjoyable at the moment.

ciao,

Pepie

Let's get started

hi to @ll :)

i think its time now to get started with my blog.

the last few weeks I have reflect, if it is really a good idea to blog in english.
but hey, i have a lot english sewing books an thread magazines, to read harry potter in english is more enjoyable than in german and i understand what i read. ok, not nearly every word, but the content. and that is important to me. so my english cannot be as bad as i always thought.

so, on topic now:

i will get rid of my fabric stash. not of all the fabrics of course ;), but i have to reduce it because the space gets short (and i cannot stop buying fabrics, but i try to buy less...).
my goal is to sew more than i buy. I have started with counting on 01. april 2009.

since april 13,2 meters have left my stash, but to my shame i have to admit that i have bought 24,8 meters. so no reduction at all :(. I will keep on working on this.

but now i will show some of my fabric stash:

and within the next few days i will show what i have sewn since april :)

ciao,

Pepie
