A year wiser and closer to death haha

Well my birthday was yesterday. I flew by and it didn't help that I had a sale on Sunday.  I don't feel my age, that's for sure. Well, sometimes. Anyways, there was no cake, candles or wishes. I feel weird about that. But, I'm always wishing myself luck. So I'm not short in that department.  Thank you to all that wished my a happy birthday. 

I think the best birthday that I had was when I visited my mom in December one year.  I flew in and she had my family meet at her house and she threw me a little surprise birthday.  It was small.  She had paper hats and she put up birthday plates up as decorations.  It was awesome because for something to be thoughtful and come from the heart, it does not have to be a big production. I love my mom. She calls me every year and sings happy birthday with my brother and cousins.  She's the toughest lady I know with a heart of gold.

Gocco Printing without the room

I bought the Gocco Machine in college and a awesome friend gave me hers.

 

What is it "Print Gocco is a Japanese color screenprinting system developed in 1977 by Noboru Hayama.  Resembling a toy, the compact and completely self-contained printer is clean, quick and easy to use. The system works using flash bulbs, a carbon-based image or photocopy and an emulsion-coated screen. When the bulbs are manually flashed, the carbon in the drawing or photocopy burns the screen into a stencil. Several colors of Ink can then be applied at one time and multiples can be stamped out, as many as 100 before re-inking is needed. Fans of Print Gocco appreciate its size, cleanliness, relatively inexpensive cost, and the fact that several colors can be printed in one “pass.” Savegocco.com




That's what I'm using to print.  Last I heard they were not making them anymore.  I's been a while since I heard that, but I bet that if you shop around you can find one.  It is helpful for small scale things.  I have fabric ink and iron it to set the ink.  It works.  Thelma wasn't to thrilled about the shirt I gave her.  She's ungrateful.   hahha
