Flamestitch will be at Craftin' Outlaws on August 16. We are pretty excited to be involved this year, and are busy sewing all day long. You should come see us.

I saw a bumper sticker recently that said, "Voldemort votes Republican". I think that's wrong. Voldemort wouldn't vote at all because he is a dictator.

I don't have a tip so much as a philosophy. My philosophy on Spring cleaning is to be ruthless, like the Vikings on the Irish coast. You must be able to part with possessions without weakness or second thoughts. George Forman grill? Gone. Duplicate set of Christmas dishes? Gone. Jeans, ugly sweaters, shoes, Scent Stories, Polly Pocket shoes, magazines, junk mail, plastic cups and bowls... Gone. Gone. Gone.
I have done a great deal of Spring cleaning these last two weeks. I have loaded boxes and bags full of albatrosses and balls-and-chains, and now, with each box the taste of freedom becomes stronger in my mouth. I always do my spring cleaning alone. The others don't have the stomach for what needs to be done. I tell them to look away. I can deal with their grief. I cannot, however deal with the claims on my space and time that these harpy-like possessions demand. Their heads come off now.
