July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
What is one of your biggest fears, and how have you conquered it (or plan on conquering it, should you be faced with it later on)? This week it"s hemming a prom gown for my Granddaughter. I've been working on it since yesterday. Hope to finish today. The measuring and cutting is finished.  I was afraid to cut off the unnecessary fabric. After marking the dress, I took a deep breathe, applied scissors. Yep! It's shorter now.  Today, I am hem stitching on a machine. Taking a dress off the rack and putting in a hem is a tricky job. I prefer building the dresses from the ground up. Hemming is easier because you measure for length at the beginning of the project. Much earlier in life I was afraid to jump horses over six feet. How did I conquer the fear? I jumped horses over six feet a couple times. Nope  I wouldn't ever do it again in my life. I'd rather put hems in prom dresses.  WRITE ON  |
