Love the sewing machine animation.
THANK YOU! I have wondered and wondered how that works!
love that animation! now i want to see what happens when it gets all tangled up under there.
OMG, that graphic demo is so cool! I love it!
I went to NYC for my 40th birthday last year, and dragged my husband to MJ Trimming. It is such a HUGE store with walls and walls and walls of trims. It was wonderful! Can’t wait to go again this year for my 41st bday.
I was so overwhelmed by the selection at MJ that I didn’t buy anything at all!
That’s a loooooot of ribbon! I think I need to pop in the next time I’m in the city! And that graphic is very hypnotising!!
Ok, I’ve already watched that animation two different times for at least a minute each time – *cool.* I get it. And I kind of want to speed it up and then slow it down again, so I will *really* get it and be able to hold it in my brain. Thanks for a blog that tickles my fancy and makes me smile.
LOVED the animation. Now my girls understand. I’ve tried to explain but now we’ve got it.
