Tuesday Tune In

I am not a big TV viewer.

 

If I am going to watch something,

it's usually a movie on Netflix, or

a documentary on YouTube.

 

A fellow blogger has started

sharing her favorite media viewing

on her blog, so I thought I would too.

 

Hence...Tuesday Tune In!

 

For today's installment, I have

found an interesting series from

the UK. It's part history...part

fashion....part food!

 

It is called The Supersizers go.

The two host relive a set time in

history, complete with clothing and

food. There's a little humor thrown in

to keep it light and fun.

 

Do you have a favorite series or documentary?

Stash Report

I did get in some sewing this week...Yee Haw!

 

Most of it was for charity, which is good,

but the charity needed color specific

flannel, which I did not have, so I

bought a few years. Not so great of

busting the current stash...

 

Fabric in this week: 7 yards

 

Fabric used this weed: 10.5 yards

 

Adjust yardage used to date: 25 yards

 

I better get sewing if I am going to come

even close to my goal of 100 yards

used this year.

 

How are you doing?

Giveaways Galore!

This week, it is the biannual

giveaway week sponsored on

Sew Mama Sew blog.

 

Giveaways are from individual

bloggers from all over the Globe.

 

Fabric...bags...kids items...

patterns...home deco...jewelry...

 

A little of something for everyone!

On the Needle

I am taking a break from working

on my first pair of socks.

 

I am attempting not to

begin more projects before finishing

a few projects.

 

So, I am going to finish the ongoing,

never done, always in the UFO pile

 

Sinful scarf project I started months

and months ago.

 

I found the pattern on ravelry.com

It's not terribly difficult, even for

a beginner for me.

Also, I am looking
for a website/online group
that specializes in vintage knit
and/or crochet patterns for
Women's wearables. Patterns need to
be dated before 1938.
Any suggestions?

So, what's on the needle at your house?

Stash Report

It has been a whole month since

I last made my fabric stash report.

 

And, I actually sewed this month!

 

I made 4 dresses for the granddaughters,

plus a baby blanket for charity.

 

Fabric in: 1 yard

 

Fabric out: 9.5 yards

 

Fabric used YTD: 22 yards

 

I am still so very far away from my

year goal of 100 yards. Guess I better

go back into the sewing room!

 

How are you doing?

Day 15: Helpers

I had a different post for today,

but after what happen in Boston,

I'll just leave you with the wise

words of Mr. Rogers.

Day 14: Stash Report

First..no changes in the Stash Report.

 

Second...I did do some sewing this past week,

but it was with others fabric,  so I can

not count it or it was repairing past

projects or clothing.

 

Hey, at least I finally turned on my machine!

Day 13: Kimball Art Gallery

Today, my daughter and I went

to the kimball art center in Park City (Utah)

to view their current exhibits.

 

First, it was The Art of the Brick

by Nathan Sawaga.

 

The brick...Lego's!

 

 

 

 

Isn't he amazingly creative!

 

Next: Stephanie Clark's "Dwellings"

 

 

 

All handwork with threads.

And...each dwelling is just a couple

inches tall and wide...teeny tiny!

 

The last exhibit was called "Geolines"

by Mark Maxiarz

He took photos and stretched the image

out until it formed long lines.

I was not able to take photos of the exhibit.

 

I love art galleries.

Started attending them as a child

and now I take (drag) my own kids along!

Day 12: On the Needle

After yesterdays crazy day of ER visits,

I did enjoy a couple of hours with

my knit group.

 

They are so wonderful and helpful.

 

 I started my first sock

 

I am glad I had the ladies to

visually show me what to do.

 

What's On the Needle at your house?
