here's that bad advice you were hoping for: I Have Not Received The Wedding Presents I Deserve!

NYT, Social Q’s, 24 May 2013:

Our group of close friends has spent the last few years attending one another’s weddings. We all give gifts to the newlyweds, except for one couple who hasn’t given gifts to anyone. Now the nongivers are getting married. Some of us do not want to gift them at all,…

alien-threat asked: hey that post u did with the magnets in the hard drives none of me devices will let me see those sets of pics.. could u re upload those pics

I’m sorry but it seems those are gone :( I used to use iPhoto to upload to flickr, until one upgrade Apple decided they would simply remove all pictures from Flickr that weren’t also in iPhoto.
So I no longer have them, and I no longer use iPhoto either ;)

Sewcialist logo design competition: I won!

This is it, my winning design for the sewcialists design competition. It comes with this logo generator where you can pick your own colors, and received the most votes from the readers of the different sewing blogs that ran the competition.

I am very excited to have won, and really happy. I know that my happiness shouldn’t be dependent on the recognition of a bunch of people on the internet, but somehow this feels like a really big deal to me. Maybe because I’ve never really won anything before ;)

The prize for the winner is a 1-year subscription to Make magazine and 100 dollar in cash. Given that I am already subscribed to Make, and that I think there’s people out there who need that $100 more than me, I am currently talking to the jury about redirecting those prices to some other people.

As I told the jury president, I’m in it for the fame, and for the women of course ;)

I’d like to thank everybody who followed the competition and took the time to vote. Not only those who voted for me, but all voters (ok, maybe a bit more those who voted for me). And I’d like to give a shout-out to the other designers who entered the competition with some really great ideas.

Thank you all, now go and put that logo on your blog or something :)
