We are back, yay! An update...

Hi there amazing people! Now that our guide is coming along nicely I thought this was a sweet time to write a quick we're (almost) back newsletter to y'all and give you a little update on our life lately. I just finished writing our guide and Dani is now taking care of the design. So expect a pre sale soon-ish!

The last year has been pretty amazeballs. After closing down our webshop and screen print cafe I went on a half year travel with my big love, miss M and miss J. We traveled through North and Central America making art, music and surfing lots (oh and also homeschooling ofcourse ;)). Traveling with a sixteen and a ten year old was pure bliss: The effortless of the almost grown up combined with the wonder of of the 10 year old, big conversations and big snuggles all day. (And of course it wasn't all bliss but experiencing all the ups and downs together is so special).

Meanwhile here in the Netherlands Dani was on her very own awesome adventure of a total renovation of a fixer upper into their dream home. While surfing lots for the much needed selfcare! Dani designed and constructed everything herself. Learning along the way, step by step, dry walling, making and creating an electrical plan, she did it all making their family home. Of course I followed along from my travels but being able to see it irl last month was so cool. What a place she created!

MORE ABOUT THE GUIDE!

Anyways. Enough talk about travels and constructing, Bobbinhood is going back to business, yay! We have been working on our guide the last couple of month and we are muy/very excited! In the guide we will spill all our secrets on our easy screen printing method. How to make your own screens (or what to buy if you are not so much the ‘making screens type’), the art of upcycling, what ink to get, what tools you’ll need and so on, so you can source all your materials locally and keep on printing now that the Bobbinhood webshop is closed (4 everrr!). Lots of you have been asking all kinds of questions about easy screen printing and this guide will answer them all! Wohooo!

Now that we are getting close to launching a guide we have one small question and it would mean a lot if you could help us out with this. We would love to make a hardcopy guide. Since we love making things and when we make things we don’t need the distraction of being online. BUT having them printed is quite the investement sooooo we want to know, what would you prefer? Please vote, that would help us so much!

Also you might have noticed that we are substackers now! Tbh we have to explore the platform more. For now we are using it to send our newsletters but we have plans to create a cool print club here (long time dream!). We are hearing Substack has the same vibes early instagram had and I loooooooooved that era, so we are very much here for it! Let us know what you would love us to bring you here on substack. We can't wait to guide you on your screen printing journey!

If you have any questions please let us know! ❤️

Lot’s of love, Bobbinhood. XO Barbara and Dani.
