This is just a reminder that I sell a handful of my cross-stitch patterns on my Etsy shop, if you’re into that kind of thing.
Etsy now has this jazzy instant digital download feature so you don’t have to wait for me to wake up or stop eating a burrito in order to e-mail you a pattern.

Off Topic Solicitation
I’m about to go on holiday for a bit; if anyone reading this lives in London or Leeds and has any interesting suggestions for things I might visit / do…lay ‘em on me.
Tips for particularly weird shit or good vegetarian eats are especially welcome.

Hello, new followers!
Here is a prime example of why my blog is called what it is.
It’s got nothing to do with me being a dirtbird.

An Introduction to Making Trouble with Textiles
I’ll be taking a workshop next week on Saturday 4th May which ties in with the exhibition that has just finished at the R-Space Gallery in Lisburn, Northern Ireland.
The class is a basic introduction to the contemporary craft movement and the concept of ‘craftivism’ and will also include the opportunity for participants to learn some basic knitting and cross-stitch techniques and pick up some ideas for alternative ways they might be applied.
It runs from 11:00am - 3:00pm and it’s completely free.
You can book a spot by calling the gallery on (028) 9266 3179.

the laest one, "wet dreams", am i reading it wrong if i think about periods? i guess it might be read as someone having a dream about blood in other more macabre ways but then making a pun out of it. reason i ask is because i do some studies in period art atm! anyways, either or, beautiful work on your whole tumblr!arvidabystrom
Thank you…! Whilst I have embroidered on a menstrual theme before, the Wet Dream piece is actually based on someone else’s nightmare about being eviscerated by a woman.
There’s a sort of intimacy about having another person describe their dreams to you in detail, particularly when they’re horrible, and I like that.
