I have resisted buying an iPhone. But broke my cell phone on my recent trip here. Now I can’t close it?! Hard to deny the fact, that an iPhone would allow me to reload sales if I am out and about. Damn. The analog me, keeps getting fainter.

your modem is not your sewing machine pedal. so stop stepping on it with your fancy shoes!

old & new, quirky & sexy too.

ok so my furniture hasn’t arrived. but i traveled with my sewing machine of course. a suitcase full of cables, powerbars, 2 hard drives, laptop, speakers, awesome cds by Jim, tripod, scanner, cameras. 3 bags of sock garter elastic [i’m here for you people]. wow. and 1 change of clothes.

so the SWANclothing sewing hint #1 for sewing in the big city, with no furniture, is- don’t wear tight jeans while using your sewing machine sitting on the floor. yup. challenging.

the SWANclothing sock garters are custom, and are all different sizes according to who ordered them so i cut cardboard for each pair. i recycle packaging, these get wrapped in bubble wrap too. i love bubble wrap. and draw funny little drawings. the larger pair you see there are for thigh-highs. and in the background is the upcoming SWANclothing Braid bag… and it’s almost done!
