Here's the May/early June notebook update. Right now you'll find four new designs since the last update statement here. #090501 is a swirl design on a C8 based multi. #090502 is a little negative space experiment I did on a small C10. #090601 is a kiku sampler on a C8. #090602 is another kiku ball exploring one of the ideas that I abandoned for the sampler. There is more detail about the kiku designs in my blog under the tag kiku.

This is the monthly notebook update. April was a slow month and there is only one new design in the notebook: #090401. This is an original design I did that is loosely based on the structure of the rhinovirus. It required a fair bit of ripping out and restitching, hence only one temari in April. Hopefully I'll have more to show in May.

Remember, if you want to see my new designs as I add them into the notebook you can follow my blog. The direct link to the rss feed for the blog is http://temarimath.info/temaritrain/?feed=rss2.

If you have not been following my blog then you may have missed the three most recent temari in my notebook: #090302, #090303, and #090304. When I add a new one to the notebook I update the 'Latest Temari' section in the left sidebar of my blog with the picture and a link to the notebook page. Usually that coincides with a new blog post that may or may not be about the temari.

I will not be doing very many notebook updates in this rss feed anymore since it is so much easier to do them via the blog. I'll still continue to do more or less monthly updates for awhile. Eventually, when I am done redesigining the temarimath website, all of the updates will be done via blog posts. The rss feed for the temari train blog is here.

My notebook is finally up to date! I have added four more temari since the last update. Have a look: #090201, #090202, #090203 and #090301. Now that I am all caught up, I will be posting pictures of the new ones in the sidebar of my blog with a link to the notebook page. Hopefully I won't get so far behind again.

Once again, two more added to the notebook. These are two variations of the same design I was creating. There were actually several variations in between but I did alot of ripping out and did not photograph all of them. Check them out at #090103 and #090104. I did not quite meet my goal of having the notebook updated by March 1st. I still have two more old ones to go and then I will be totally up to date. Look for those this coming week.

Two more in the notebook. I am finally posting 2009 temari! You'll find lots of flowers on (#090101) and a nice beginners design, (#090102).

Three more new notebook entries! There's another star polygon temari (#081101), a temari inspired by sea angels (#081201), and an HHG experiment (#081202). Check them out.

There are three more new entries in the notebook: #081003, #081004, and #081005. Also, check out the horizontal menubar; I've added a link to the new Temari Train... blog. It should show up on all of the pages of the site.

Speaking of Temari Train... there are two new entries since the last time I posted here in the What's New. If you want to follow the RSS for the blog, there's a button for it in the upper right of the blog window. Normally I will not announce blog updates here.

New stuff! I am sorry it has been so long since I updated the site. Today I added a blog to the site. It's called Temari Train.... For now it has not been added to the links and menus for the rest of the temarimath site but I will be working on that in the next week. Please stop by and feel free to leave a comment.

I am woefully behind on updating the notebook section of the site. Rather than post a whole bunch of new ones in one fell swoop I decided to add them two at a time. So today I added #081001 and #081002. I actually have 11 more to go after those two. I'll be working on adding them throughout the end of this month and hopefully start March with everything up to date.

I have just added a new pattern investigation, Looking for New Designs. Rather than being focused on a particular design element or pattern, it is focused on one idea you can use to create your own designs. In that respect it is really more targeted to those who are just getting started with going beyond published designs. If you are someone who already does that, this may not be a new idea to you.

I am sorry that I have not updated the site in awhile. Unfortunately, it will be a bit longer before I can do further updates. I am making new temari but I cannot publish them to the notebook just yet, so please be patient with me and check back later. When I do put the temari up there should be a good number of them to share. I do have a new pattern investigation in mind and possibly a related math study so I promise there is something coming, it just may not be for a few months. Happy stitching in the meantime.

In non-temari news, I noticed that my current email program will subscribe to RSS feeds for me so that I can get automatic updates to the sites that I like to go to. If your email program has that capability then you can get these what's new listings automatically by subscribing in your program. Usually that is just a matter of giving the URL to the feed. This is the link to the temarimath.info rss feed.
