Well, there hasn’t been much exciting for me to talk about the last few days. I’ve just been doing more work around the house and getting eaten by mosquitoes. But...

One of my needlework friends is getting his own fabric line! :-D The fabrics are supposed to be inspired by henna painting (mendhi) and some were designed especially to be embellished with beading, embroidery, etc. You can see a preview of the fabric designs on his website, http://www.marklipinski.com/ (click on the “my fabric” link at the top) I think some of the focus fabrics would be fun for a skirt and I might have to track some down after they come out. Don’t know if they’d actually be accurate for a cosplay but all of the colorful patterns make me think of Gankutsuou!

I think this is pretty cool since I’ve known Mark for like 10 years; we’re both in a small cross stitch e-mail group that’s like extended family (I’m the baby of the group since I was a weirdo in high school and liked to cross stitch instead of doing typical teenager things. XD;).

Back then he was working as a TV producer. Now, he teaches quilting, has his own quilting magazine (Mark Lipinski’s Quilter’s Home, published by McCall’s), and the fabric is supposed to be available soon. I think it’s great where he’s been able to go with his needlecrafts. :-)

Your friend's site is really nice! It's funny that posted it when you did - I was in the fabric shop yesterday and found some fabric I liked to make embellished pieces to frame and give as family gifts for Christmas, and then I come online and see your post. :D I should put photos up soon of the fabrics.

*laugh* That certainly is coincidence. Handmade gifts are nice. I try to give those when I can since I love to craft anyway. ^_^

Very much so - I also do not like Christmas shopping because I don't like the crowds, the angst, and the commercialism. I'd rather give something home-made any day.
