My ‘Australian Homespun’ magazine has arrived today – yippppeee!!!! OK, “why” you ask, am I sooooo excited about receiving a magazine. Bet you think I’m a sad person don’t you? Be careful now!!! It’s been about 6 months since I last received a copy of ‘Homespun’. It’s my favouritist (is there such a word?!!) magazine ever, which I used to receive via a subscription through a UK based company. However, after not having received anything for about 3 months or so, and many phone calls, and much ‘being fobbed off’, I discovered that they had ceased trading (the real truth of the matter!). But thanks to Catherine Sanchez and Paul Vinall at Homespun magazine (love you both to bits), I now have a new subscription direct from Oz at a very reasonable rate – thank you both so much. And Paul Vinall is also arranging for me to get the 6 back-issues I’ve missed – I believe they may even be on their way to me right now – hope so anyway. 
I’ve also received my first part of Primitive Gatherings
‘Sheep in the Willow’ BOM, which I’d been waiting for, so I’m looking forward to giving that a go – doesn’t look too tasking, which is a good thing as I’m so tired – worked overtime this morning, groan!!Anyway, it’s time to go put my feet up with a cuppa and lose myself in my Homespun magazine – see ya later!!
thankyou for the birthday greeting and that magazine looks exciting. I do love the sheep and tree image this would also look good as a hooked piece too, have you ever tried rug hooking? applique would be fabulous too I cant wait to see what you do with this.
ReplyDeleteI too am a Homespun collector and look forward to each publication. Just for some trivia, I was introduced to blogging of all things via someone who wrote in to Homespun with a pic of her mug bag. I then contacted that person by sheer luck. She then gave me her pattern, then I did my own creation, and sent my photo into Homespun. They have publisehd in the latest Homespun under the "Mail bag".
ReplyDeleteLucky you having a Homespun subscription! I wish we had mags like that in the UK don't you? I love the look of your latest project. You certainly like to keep busy!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they have sorted it out for you! I have a project in the Decmeber issue so look out for it hahaha. Enjoy all that sewing!
