The Great British Sewing Bee-epi #2

I've never watched an episode of Project Runway and have seen two, perhaps three episodes of Fashion Star last season. But I am strangely drawn to this. Perhaps, it's because I've been following some of the contestants on their blogs for a while, so I feel as though I know them and can share in their excitement and their angst. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5trYhyBMuI>

I haven't much choice since I can't give them away.

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Pattern Pyramid

Greetings Everyone. By now you heard of the the Pattern Pyramid. This is something very wonderful that my fellow sewist had started last year. Just Google Pattern Pyramid to see what has been travelling the world.
When you receive the patterns you choose the ones you want to keep, add to the batch and then host your own Pattern Pyramid/Giveaway. Well, I became the lucky recipient of eight patterns.
Thank you, Lynne.  http://sewingcafewithlynne.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-pattern-pyramid-winner-is.html

I chose the ones I wanted to keep (4) but to really spice things up, I've added sixteen (yes, 16!)more to the pyramid. So, toss your name into the hat, share this info on your blogs and let's see where "Carmen Sandiego" ends up next.
Using a highly developed scientific method, I will choose a name next Friday, February 15th.

I Owe It All to Anne

My niece came to visit me during the Inaugaral weekend. Though I gave up reatil shopping years ago, we do a lot of thrifting when she's in town. She's an aspiring designer, fashion blogger and producer. I was her first subject. And I owe it all to Anne of Pretty Grievances. Thanks for jumpstarting my year!!!
