Apparently, you can spice up your ironing with these hunky pinup guy ironing board covers: when a hot iron is applied, the towel disappears, revealing what's underneath! also available in a female version, if that's your thang.




Available from the UK version of AMAZON, as well as a few quilt and novelty shops online

is this getting to be a genre?? Aubrey Longley-Cook of Atlanta has animated an embroidered 15-frame cycle of a dog running. speaking as a professional animator, it's pretty slow- usually run cycles are about 6-8 frames....but quite impressive nonetheless!




see the animated version on her blog, spoolspectrum
