Interview and some other news

Eep! Look at that, it's an interview with me on the Spanish DMC blog. With a rather large photo of me, yikes! It's in Spanish (the interview, not the photo), which I don't really understand but luckily they asked me the questions in English.

I feel quite honoured that they would interview me, it's a really lovely blog and I love DMC thread quite a lot. :-)

Even if you don't understand much Spanish (like me!) your browser may have a translating tool built right in (Chrome does) so you can read me waffling on about this and that. ;-)

Gracias, DMC! And hola to visitors from Spain and South America, it's nice to meet you. :-)

And now for something completely different. As you may know, I'm one of the co-founding editors of the e-zine &Stitches. For the past year and a bit, we've published a bunch of issues full of stitchy goodness.

But we have made the difficult  decision to stop making the zine, for the time being atleast. We've made this decision for a number of reasons but the biggest is probably the work that went into it. I think 40-50 hours per issue on my part is probably a slight underestimation. Combine that with all the work on the book and all my regular work. Last year was one heck of a busy year. Annus operosus one might say. ;-)

So although it's sad that the zine is no more, it's also kinda nice to not feel so stressed all the time. I think Tony appreciates it too - there were many an occasion where dinner was less than inspired last year! ;-)

But onwards and upwards, the &Stitches blog isn't going anywhere and in fact we have some fun ideas for making it even better. Do join us over there if you like the stitchy stuff!
