Off to the Comics and Books Exchange at Notting Hill to buy a book I could have got for 2p on Amazon but it was an impulse. EDIT: No, to be fair, the cheapest copy on Amazon is £5.02, so I saved 2p. This copy came with a postcard I can send off to the publisher for a brochure. I leave the price sticker on so that people will know I bought it from the Comics and Books Exchange.
It's an appreciation of contemporary music packaging, published in May 1999. There's a melancholic air to it - the book was being published just physical music was dying out. The examples for the most part haven't really dated, although that could be because my tastes were formed at the time. I imagine that a graphic design student bought this in 1999 when he was doing his degree, and sold it shortly afterwards and is now working in a call centre somewhere, or he designs graphics for television shopping channels and wants to die.
There's something a bit odd about looking at pictures of covers of records that I actually own - why not look at the actual record covers?
We had mobile phones in 1999, and used them for voice communication. Fancy that. This was published at the apothesis of Aphex Twin's mainstream penetration, it was all downhill from here.
WIP The fabric is a vintage linen hankie bought at an antique store. The thread is an awesome variegated blue,purple, green.
My first "real" quilt, made during a fantastic 9-week beginner's class at my LQS. I'm lost selecting fabrics, but I did my very best with workmanship. My fabric plan can be seen in the rail fences: one water-drop batik in each blue, green, and yellow; one freckle in blue, green, and yellow; and one color+white for each. It's a total mess color-wise, but it is durably constructed and *most* of the points are where they're supposed to be. I learned a LOT in this class.
First set of blocks done for the Olympics Sampler Block exchange with a small team of members from the Treadle On email list.
A sampler quilt in purple, teal and yellow, with a smattering of owls on the back. Blocks made by me, members of the 3x6 Bee and the Together Bee. Quilted by me in various FMQ techniques (a great practice piece). Approx size 58 x 72in
My wife and I lunch at Fazoli's in Fayetteville, NC. We each had the classic sampler which has spaghetti, Fettuccine Alfredo and lasagna.
My wife and I had supper at Cracker Barrel. I had the sampler platter with baby carrots, hash brown casserole and macaroni and cheese for my sides.
A sampler I made for my parents' Ruby Wedding in 1992, three colours of stranded cotton on cream Aida fabric. based on various traditional and traditional-style sampler bands. Cross stitch and double-running stitch.
When last seen, my floss colour wheel was missing a good green and blue. Or rather, I had yet to find one I liked. I knew I wanted something that at least reminded me of Hooker's Green, though what I finally picked has a definite influence of Forest Green.
When picking up craft paint to finish St George, I grabbed an "Azure" and I liked how it acted with both yellow and red, so there you go, a blue I do not want to kill. The floss is a little lighter, but whatev.
There are spaces for paint swatches, when I unpack the paints. I used my basic lettering alphabet and my favourite dozen-plus stitches, which are mostly chain and buttonhole variants.
to my delight Paris Baguette were promotiing their patbingsu's with yummy freebies. OMG! the watermelon bits took it to another level! long queue wait was well worth it.

Present from my friend Linda, sadly no longer with us, a cross-stitch sampler with two different fonts for the alphabet , obviously also including two x-es :-)
40 RMB ($6.15) @ Domino's Pizza, 8773-2071. Cheesy dots, popcorn chicken, tater tots, BBQ wings. Not pictured were the order of fries and 2L coke. With so many fast food chains now offering healthy crap (and even replacing the fats), I advocate the creation of the Heritage Menu. KFC chicken in China tastes like crap, it's missing at least 9 of the 12 herbs and spices. Veggie burgers in India? Bullshit! Fuck you!
