Topic: No Topic Today!
I have no strange animals or cuddly kittens today. I do, however, have this link to a news story about the MYTHBUSTERS and how they are working on a special McGyver episode. This is a watershed moment in pop-sci culture, the very moment when Geek culture collapses on itself in one gi-normous nerdgasm.
In less hyperbolic news, I finished the beach shirt I started yesterday after I left the computer. I cut the patterns, cut the fabric and sewed it all together, except for the hems, in one afternoon. I discovered a really cool way to attach the fronts, backs, and collar to the shoulder yoke in one piece, with two corners to turn. The sleeves then went on in one long seam and then the side were another pair of long seams. Then it was merely running all raw edges through the serger and voilà! A super nice beach shirt to wear over the bathing suit. Nifty. The pattern I posted a while ago, I finally scaled it up from the graph paper size to actual wearable size.
We watched the eclipse of the moon. The moon was a sort of burnt sienna red. Then the clouds rolled in and from there on the moon wasn't visible. It was cool. Actually...truth be told...it was freezing! I won't say that I hate winter, but once again I will say...imagine how wonderful spring is going to feel when it finally arrives!
Speaking of spring, Dave got me some crocuses in small pots. He always gets me a couple crocuses. I place them in the kitchen window and watch them sprout, bloom, grow, then turn brown. By the time all the leaves are brown and the bulbs are ready to plant it's spring. It makes Feb. and March go a bit quicker.
And that's all for today, not much I know. Later!
