I am so proud.....

that I never ever have bought anything from the brand jack wolfskin.

and I swear to high heaven that I never will buy anything from it.

why?

j.w. is sending cease & desist letters to people who are selling their self-made items on dawanda.
the reason is that the sellers have used fabric with paw prints on it. the trademark of j.w. is a wolf paw with claws. but they claim any paw no matter if it is a cat paw, a bear paw or if it is without claws.

for more information please look at the following links:

dawanda

etsy

spiegel-online


and here is a list, where you can find a lot more links.

all I can say is: hit the road jack and don't you come back no more no more no more no more


ciao,

Pepie

knock out :-(

hi everybody,

i have promised to show you what i have sewn, but i got ill and i am still ill :(.

and i will be still ill in future :(.

the disease is psoriasis. and the main affection are my hands and my feet and this is the most insistent kind of psoriasis. that hurts so much that sewing is not possible.

at the moment i visit the day hospital for the second time now. the first time i was there for 5 1/2 weeks and after three weeks i am there again and also my body shows now some spots of psoriasis :-(.

i hope that i can continue my hobby when my hands are getting better. touching fabric is not enjoyable at the moment.

ciao,

Pepie
