My daily dose of cultural musing…

This is the Hauzen SEW-6HR122L. A pretty fancy machine, it even plays a tune at the beginning and end of each load.  The tune is kind of a cross between an old Gameboy game and a funky synthesizer ditty my brother’s old Casio keyboard used to play.  The Hauzen was a bargaining chip used in… Continue reading My daily dose of cultural musing…

Gimme Your Stuff…

Gimme Your Stuff is a cultural exchange blog that pairs you up with others from around the globe to swap with. I just joined and I am very excited to get something in the works.

Sewing

Bedside Manner

I’m working on an Amy Butler pattern from In Stitches for a bedside organizer. Since Joe and I have the least amount of furniture allowable by law including no bedside tables we end up with a pile of items on the floor beside our bed.  I bought In Stitches a few months ago and haven’t… Continue reading Bedside Manner

Korea

A no frills kind of town…

I am so overwhelmed by the wonderful comments and compliments from all of you on our blog.  I have been trying to keep up with it and usually do save for a few days here and there.  It may be a little harder when I actually start work, which is another story in itself, but… Continue reading A no frills kind of town…

I'm loving this…

While I am spotlighting my favorite blogs, I am also finding wonderful inspiration and getting to know my fellow bloggers.  It’s a win-win situation for all. I love Babybug‘s idea to sew fabric scrapbooking stickers on shirts for a quick gift or personalized item. I know Christmas has been over for almost a month but… Continue reading I'm loving this…

I will work at a private English school on the 3rd floor of a large building across from a… Continue reading On being laughed at in Korea…

More fab blogs…

Okay, some more plugs for my favorite blogs… My wonderfully talented cousin Carissa makes beautiful felted jewelry and has also jumped into the blog world with her new blog Wound Up Tight. Her work is beautiful and I’m not just saying that because she’s related to me or because her daughters were my flowergirls, she… Continue reading More fab blogs…

I can never think of any catchy titles…

Ok, not really in alphabetical order but I just found a really cool site.  How Can I Recycle This? is a site where people find ways to reuse and recycle items they don’t otherwise know what to do with.  I don’t do enough recycling and while the site is a little quirky for me, I… Continue reading I can never think of any catchy titles…

Just call me a blogaholic…

I can’t get enough blogs! I look at them whenever I can steal a moment at my computer. Sometimes, no actually, all the time, I spend more time looking at other people’s blogs then I do at actual crafts. I have a few theories on this… The first being, inspiration. I love all the projects… Continue reading Just call me a blogaholic…
