Willy Nilly Friday 5

1.  We probably spend as much time watching stuff on YouTube as we do watching actual TV.  We watch stuff about our hobbies;  in my case, I watch a lot about sewing as well as regular series that were on TV at one time.  Roger watches stuff about fly tying, knife making, history, and more besides. He tends to watch random things...I tend to find series that I will watch till I watch them all...recently, it was All Creatures Great and Small, before that New Tricks, and Ballykissangel was somewhere in the mix.  At one time YouTube had all the Great British Sewing Bee shows on, then could only watch clips for a while.  Right now, there are 3 full length shows available from Season 3...below is the first one.


2.  Do you ever pause and think how sewing is done everywhere.  Some out of necessity, but a lot is done by people just trying to make something beautiful.  How many of you have heard of  molas....click here to see a video showing some...they are made by hand.  So many stitches...adding and taking away layers of cloth.  Or click here to see the Siddis making quilts.  Again by hand...

3.  How many of you have what you call guilty little pleasures?  Mine is the mini-powdered donuts that you get in a bag.  I LOVE them.  I don't especially care for the normal sized powdered donut, but give me a bag of the small ones and I am good to go.

4.  I have not fed the birds in days...simply because of the number of cowbirds that come.  The last day I filled the feeder, it took them approximately 3 hrs to empty it...and the feeder holds close to a gallon of feed.  The little songbirds did not get to enjoy any of it.  I will eventually start  to feed them again...just waiting a bit in hopes that the cowbirds will have moved on.

5.  We seen the doctor today...it was just a follow up to the test/procedure Roger had done.  The one biopsy they took was benign...did not show any pre-cancer cells.  So that is good.

Because it makes me happy...

I saw this one last night, it made me smile.  I meant to post it last night but forgot it.  Well, here I was strolling down memory lane again tonight and there it was again.  I thought it must be a sign.  Maybe it will make some of the rest of you smile when you see it.

I am still working on the dress...I did get the zipper in.  Of all times, I did not test the zipper before putting it in.  I am so aggravated...it is just such a rough, catchy feeling when I open and close the zipper.  and I had bought it new for this project!  I don't know that I have ever 'tested' a zipper before, but normally I open and close them just in fooling with them.  From now on, I bet I never put another one in without checking.

Roger has an appointment tomorrow, just to go over the test he had last Friday.  Since he had never had it done before.  Of course we are supposed to get some snow, but it is not supposed to be very much.  His appointment is not till up in the morn, so the roads should be clear before we have to leave.

I will get visiting done sometime tomorrow...maybe a few before we leave as well as tomorrow evening.

From the archives

I have been having the best time going through my photographs.

After all the cold weather, these really appeal to me.  I hope you enjoy them, too.

Are you anxiously awaiting the arrival of spring and warmer weather?

***********
I am still working on Lorelei's dress.  I had planned to finish it today but instead we ran some errands, and went to Terre Haute.  I did not work on it till later in the evening.  I am thinking it is going to be too big for her.  So kind of disappointed that way.  Maybe I will be wrong.

I have not did any more de-cluttering to speak of.  Oh, have thrown/donated an item here and there.  I would like to get started back at that.  I think I will feel a lot more like doing that when the weather gets better, or spring arrives.
