So much for that embargo on buying fabric! My video is still processing but I need to get to work! Hopefully it will all sort itself out eventually. :D

I have had shirts that I have literally worn out, too. :D In fact one of them looks remarkably like the one you showed in the video... and I've not seen it in a while... *raises eyebrow* :D

Haha fabric embargo - you picked some really great fabrics for the cases!

What beautiful birthday blocks. Jennifleur will love them, I'm sure. Very oceany. :)

I love how you and the camera were like, yeah, we're good. See ya next week!

That sweater is like 10 years old, I swear, lol. At LEAST. I find it ironic that someone with so many sewing supplies and crafty urges can't manage to slap a few buttons on a sweater. :P

I made sure there was nothing else on the memory card and that the battery was fully charged, so I have learned I just need to keep it to under 9 minutes to make sure I don't get cut off, I guess. It's like if it's left on that long it assumes I must hve forgotten to turn it off.

Your Project Linus afghan is really nice!

Jennifleur's birthday blocks are so pretty! Love the aqua colors!

Sorry about the camera cutting you off - see you next week.

Thanks! I am rather challenged when it comes to traditionally pieced blocks, but these came out decent. Not perfect, but definitely okay.

I think that my videos should not exceed 5 minutes or the camera decides I've forgotten to turn it off and it does it on its own.

Lol! You're killing me! Okay, okay, I turned it off with 30 seconds to go. I have no idea how your video ends. I am however secretly hoping that one of your awesome pillowcases accidentally makes it into my birthday block envelope. Those are my favorite colors too. Your sister is so lucky!

I will try to get it in the mail tomorrow. I took it to work today and left it there so it would be there for me to mail at the earliest opportunity.

My camera just shut itself off when it had decided I had said enough, basically right after I showed your blocks. I actually had gone on quite a bit after that, but it was probably for the best that it decided to cut me off, lol.

the blocks look great :) and i love your pillow cases too

Great to see you again!

[jewells68]

Thanks! I am addicted to the pillowcases, I think. I have other things I need to do or I would be making more.

[hardhatcat]

i could think of much worse addictions ;)

I can't blame you for being bored by the grannies, but we talked about that before :D

The pillowcases turned out great - I love making cases using that hotdog method. So great. Love the fabrics you picked for the pillowcases too.

You blocks for Jen look good!

[jewells68]

Right now I can't focus on anything due to a stupid toothache. Bah. But I want to make more pillowcases. but I have other things I need to finish first. Waaah! :D
