04-09 Neat and Nifty - Iron Your Fringe

Hello people! This week we have an episode for those of you that are particularly anal retentive. I’m showing you how to iron fringe. Keeping all our strands going in the right direction is important! 

In addition to that we have lots of things to talk about. I was recently featured on the cover of the online crafting magazine “Snippets”, which is a part of the delightful UK site Cut out and Keep. The article is a lot of fun. Be sure and have a look! The aprons featured in the article are available on Felix Populi and we’ve just reduced the price from $32 to $25. They make great hostess gifts and are fun and practical in the kitchen. Be sure and have a look! 

Our Netflix Screening Series film this time around is another thriller – I thought it would be fun to compare the last film (Rear Window) which is so well known, to this obscure little gem about a concentration camp survivor who assumes a friend’s identity and moves to San Francisco to be mother to her son. I discovered it on Netflix using their Movies You’ll Love feature. It’s The House on Telegraph Hill from 1951, directed by Robert Wise, starring Richard Basehart and Valentina Cortese (perhaps best known for her turn in Truffaut’s Day For Night [1973]). I was very impressed with the atmospheric quality of the film and the location shots in San Francisco are fun to compare to other films with a San Francisco setting (They feel more Sudden Fear, than they do Vertigo). Be sure and have a look at it. It’s definitely worth a screening. You don’t need Netflix to  participate in the discussion, just leave a comment to this post down below, but remember, you can sign up for Netflix here and support the podcast. They have plans for as little as $5 a month.  

Last, but not least I’ve designed a delightful new table setting for spring for Felix Populi. It’s perfect for Mother’s Day. Treat your mom to a set!
