We got cable TV back ! The
$5. 50-foot cable we ordered from Amazon came in, and as it turned out, that
wasn’t what was wrong. Beloved Hubby said he restarted the DSL router, and that’s
what did it, but I swear, I did that at least once, plus again with the
AT&T chat rep. Like it matters, I have regular TV for three more months
before we axe it. Was kind of tired of cheezy movies and Bridezillas anyway.
As for the National Sewing
Month Challenge, I’m doing a two-parter, so rather than show you two almost
identical images, I’m gonna show you the little girls’ dress I got from
Goodwill yesterday – ‘cause it’ll be in both parts, just different ! It’s a
gorgeous stretch velvet, size 5. I always love the idea of recycling clothes,
but when it gets to it, I hate cutting into useable clothing. And this dress
was really pretty, not a thing wrong with it but a pick or two in the back. I’d
have loved it when I was the right age to wear it, heck, I’d wear it in my size
now ! But I’ve already pulled all functional clothes from my fabric stash and
re-donated them twice, if I insist on buying ‘em, I’m cutting ‘em up already.
So, I can tell you that this
dress is already sleeveless – I’ve not really worked with stretch velvet before,
relegating it to the ‘beautiful but difficult’ fabric bins. Even the stuff they
sell by the yard at Hancock Fabrics, not just recycled outfits, been kinda
timid about using. That changed this summer, thanks to Jen Wrenne and a walking
foot, so it’s time to try it. Show ya tomorrow !
