Sammantha - I've been meaning to listen to Amanda Palmer as I've heard about her and so glad I did :) I've just been watching her TED talk and felt so inspired that I then started listening to her.

Seed swap?
Started 8 days ago · Last post about 10 hours ago ·
There was a seed swapping thread on the Eco/Green board for a while. It was probably a few years back. The only thing to watch for with swapping seeds is to check the country your sending tos customs regulations. I remember Australia being tight on things like seeds and I'm sure its not the only one.
EDIT - found the thread - http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/board/home/green/2691-the-ongoing-seed-swap - it was last posted on about 3 years ago so you may want to start a new one.

craft blog
Started 5 days ago · Last post about 10 hours ago ·
Who have you got your blog with? Blogger (which is run by google) are pretty good and my bf uses word press. If you're not interested in the techie side of things I'd look at getting one with tumblr. I've got a couple of tumblr accounts and its very easy to use, probably easier than posting a how to here ;) I had my main blog with Blogger for years but changed over to Yola when I bought my own domain name for my shop. It made sense to put everything on one site.
There's also a thread with some CO&K peoples tumblr accounts here http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/board/general/chit_chat/7478-tumblr

Medication rant
Started 6 days ago · Last post 5 days ago ·
I've heard back from my doctors surgery and the fault wasn't with them. They said each prescription was printed and passed to the pharmacy and they had signed to say they had collected them. I'm going to look into who runs the pharmacy but I don't know if I'd go as far as complaining. I think the worse bit was that I shared stuff about myself that I regret. I told the pharmacist that it upset me to hear him say he wouldn't be losing sleep over my lost prescription and told him that last time I lost sleep I came very close to taking my own life. He was sort of apologetic but it wasn't sincere and he didn't seem to get it. He said he was just reassuring a younger colleague who was worried. I accepted it while I was there as I just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible but after I got home I thought he could have reassured her after I'd left, not while I was sitting there distressed that I wasn't getting my medication.

Medication rant
Started 6 days ago · Last post 5 days ago ·
Thank you Monika. I think I will email the gp surgery. I feel calmer than I did when I first came home. I think I need to try and figure out whether the problem is caused by the same link in the chain or whether I've just been unlucky. I hate that I told the staff at the chemist about how I get when I'm ill as I like to keep that stuff private, but I know I can't unsay it.

Medication rant
Started 6 days ago · Last post 5 days ago ·
I take a lot of medication, mostly for my mental health and asthma. My medication is on repeat prescription and I put in my repeat with the doctors surgery about a week before I need it, they get the doctor to sign it and pass it to the pharmacy next door and collect it about 3 days later from the pharmacy. I've been doing this for a few years without any major issues but the last 3 months there's been a cock up in the system. No one can tell me where the error but today I heard the pharmacist talking about it to his colleague and said he 'wouldn't be losing any sleep over it'. I was already extremely anxious as I'd already been toing and froing from doctors to pharmacy and back again so hearing this just tipped me over the edge. I didn't shout or swear but I was pretty graphic about what happens when I don't get my medication and now I feel a bit shitty. I was also crying and it was horrible. I don't want this to happen again but not sure who to talk to.

Now that I've got the sewing machine working again I want to start working through my fabric stash. I'd like to make some clothes for myself as I used to make a lot when I was at college but haven't been brave enough since.

You can get tools to create tear off strips. I think they're like a wheel with a handle and the wheel has lots of little teeth and as you wheel it along it creates a perforated sheet. I haven't seen one for years and years though and don't know what they're called :/

Need of a horror movie! Sugestions please!
Started 13 days ago · Last post 4 days ago ·
The Others was an excellent ghost story without any goriness. The Ring is also amazing. I haven't seen the US remake though but the Japanese original is brilliant and I don't remember it being gory, just scary. I'm also a fan of the Final Destination films but they are a little grizzly in places.

Started 12 days ago · Last post 9 days ago ·
I'd had a real lack of boyfriends before meeting Pat and really thought I was going to become a crazy cat lady and be on my own. I think what I've learnt over the years is that you are at your most attractive when you are doing something you love so find somewhere that does a class in something you're interested in and that will hopefully have some men doing. I'm glad looking back that I did Cognitive Science and not Psychology as we had a lot of lectures together and the Psychology course was almost entirely female :)

Howd u meet ur mate?
Started 12 days ago · Last post 9 days ago ·
I met my boyfriend 16 years ago at uni. I was trying to set up a alternative music society and he was on my course in the year below. He saw me in the psychology labs pinning up posters asking people to sign up and we got talking. I saw him a few days later while in the computer labs and he was on the computer next to me. Its very geeky but we were both studying Cognitive Science (Artificial Intelligence) and I was doing some coursework with writing a computer programme to simulate a decision making process of deciding what to drink and he asked me if I wanted to do it in person and we went down the the uni bar for a drink. I had my finals so didn't start seeing each other properly till about a month or two later but we're still geeky and very much in love :)
We'd both had lots of crappy experience up to meeting each other so don't give up on love. The cliche of meeting someone when you least expect it was spot on for me. I wasn't interested in having a boyfriend at all. I just wanted to get to finish my degree and get through my finals.
He's also a fellow crafter and has his own ceramics studio. Needless to say our flat is very cluttered and full of half finished project ;) but I think the secret is finding someone who shares your passions and values. The buzz you get when you first start dating fades but if you have shared loves you never run out of things to talk about or do together.

looking for a 'pen pal'
Started 13 days ago · Last post 12 days ago ·
Sometimes it takes a little while for people to see a new post as the site is used by people from all over the world so don't worry that its because no one is interested. You could also try the swap request thread on the swap board and request it there. Although its not exactly a swap you are exchanging something, ie a letter. http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/board/swapping/swap_shop/5135-swap-request/page/15

Have you ever used polyvore before? Its a very handy site for this sort of problem. Its a little like pinterest but you can see things you've added alongside each other and overlap things. Its hard to explain but worth a look http://www.polyvore.com/ - you just need to set up an account and you can get going. You can also get the source code for any collections you make and add them here or to a blog.

pencil or charcoal for portraits?
Started about 1 month ago · Last post 15 days ago ·
I run an art group and one the group likes using charcoal. I always use cheap hairspray to fix it as its tons cheaper than fixative spray and easier to get hold off. He's been in the group years and his older pics still look good so the spray doesn't harm the charcoals. He also uses blue tack in place of a putty rubber. We've had a few putty rubbers in the past but they always end up getting lost in our art cupboard. We have 2 art groups and a craft group and two of them run on my day off so everything always ends up put back in different places.
I personally don't like charcoals as they are too messy and I find them hard to use for finer detail. I prefer pencils.

Mary what would you want in return - I'm guessing more stash in return isn't a good option if you're trying to reduce your stash.

You could also check charity shops for flat bed sheets or even pick them up new, if you know somewhere that sells them reasonably priced. I'm afraid I only know UK shops so that wouldn't be much help.

Art History Presentations
Started 21 days ago · Last post 16 days ago ·
That sounds really cool. Although I studied art it was such a long time ago I barely remember any of the history side of things, especially the ones that I was less interested. Now though I wish I knew more as I run an Art group every Monday and it would be nice to refresh my knowledge so I can share it with the clients I work with. I recently had a great time digging around the internet for some Max Ernst to show a client who was working on an abstract/surreal pic that had a v similar feel to one of his paintings.
