Who is your favorite character? I adore Chummy. With a great adoration. :D I'm so sad she's not in the later seasons, though. Nor Jenny! I miss her. :(<br /><br />Miss Meg,<br />Your joke made me giggle! And yes, I am indeed familiar with crows. :) We have a good many of them in the part of the US where I live.<br /><br />Molly,<br />Is that from the joke book Kim has? :P<br /><br />Natalie,<br />Well, I'm happy to have made you laugh! I'm so glad to be blogging again too. :D Can't promise any kind of regularity but I'm definitely making an effort to post more! <br /><br />MK,<br />THAT was hilarious. :D And don't write a corset off as not happening, ever! I used to barely be able to sew a square pillow case, too. :D <br /><br />Sarah A.,<br />I hate buying fabric at full-price too! I never shop at JoAnn's without a coupon. I like to buy a lot of my fabric from thrift stores, actually. I've made so many petticoats from (carefully washed) white 100% cotton sheets! I have indeed read Jack & Jill. It's been a realllllly long time but I remember enjoying it!<br /><br />Jessica,<br />HAHAHAHAHA to your Napoleon joke. :DMiss Dashwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821653607968651548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-65527790793802146982016-09-10T15:48:13.146-04:002016-09-10T15:48:13.146-04:00Much respect and admiration for your sewing skills...Much respect and admiration for your sewing skills--I can't sew ANYTHING, so I think it's rather a sign of superhuman genius that you can :-) <br /><br />Jokes? Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . how about this one: <br /><br />"I asked Napoleon if he needed to borrow money--he looked a little short." <br /><br />;-) Katie Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818413749107653398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-82450986903323311062016-09-08T21:41:04.228-04:002016-09-08T21:41:04.228-04:00I'd like to start sewing something... I've...I'd like to start sewing something... I've been browsing around for patterns because I don't have very many in my possession. My big hindrance right now is where to buy fabric. Since Hancock Fabrics closed all their stores all I'm left with is a Jo-Ann, which isn't very helpful for garment sewing because ours is pretty small and has mostly quilting fabric. And then there's the fact that I Hate buying fabric at full price... so yeah. (Actually I dislike buying anything at full price if it costs more than, like, $5! Haha)<br />This is off-topic, but have you ever read Jack and Jill by Louisa May Alcott? I started it a little while ago but I haven't gotten around to finishing it.<br /><br />Sarah A.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-91682101227763265882016-09-08T00:28:49.655-04:002016-09-08T00:28:49.655-04:00I went on a roller coaster the other day.

Not to spoil it, but it made me scream like a little girl for about 3 minutes...which was kind of...embarrassing, because the ride's only a minute long. :'D<br /><br />(A joke told by a worker at a theme park I went to. I cracked up so hard, but maybe it's not that funny. I dunno. XD I've always wanted to try on a corset!!! But I can barely sew a square pillow case, so yeah. Making one? NOT happening, ever. :P)<br />MKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-33590332224370794712016-09-06T16:41:24.965-04:002016-09-06T16:41:24.965-04:00Oh, I forgot.

In fact I've not sewn anything for a long time. <br />A good joke! Dear dear, I'm rather bad at jokes... also, the only ones I can think of right now are only ones that Aussies would get so that's not very helpful. :P I can think of one... (hopefully you're familiar with crows. ;D)<br />"So, two crows were discussing the life rates of crows. They were discussing how so many of them were killed via the road (such as by cars, for example). However, the largest factor that killed crows was not cars, but trucks! For awhile, they could not figure this out... and then they realized. Crows can easily call out to their friends "Car! Car!" ("Caw! Caw!"), but they cannot call out "Truck! Truck!"<br /><br />Hopefully it's as funny as I remember it being. ;D Haha.<br /><br />~Miss MegAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-26316701414245185802016-09-06T01:09:27.227-04:002016-09-06T01:09:27.227-04:00Oh my gosh, the patience you have!

And then I lost a sleeve . . . and the rest of the fabric. Brilliant. That was years ago. I also have gorgeous antique silk sari fabric (they often used sari fabric then for dresses) and cotton velveteen for a Regency outfit. But my regency interest was only a fad, so that will be utilized for modern outfits eventually . . . hopefully. Livia Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755623391278276925noreply@blogger.com
