It's far easier to spew out stream-of-consciousness, inane thoughts and post pics than to post on a blog. I follow weather alerts, celebs who are funny, and people who are leaders in my many hobbies.

Worn well, I guess I mean.<br /><br />On another note, the blog roll on the right of the screen jitters, moves constantly up and down by about 2 pixels. I wonder if others experience this, or it's just my laptop. If others see that, too, maybe you can change some settings.

But I enjoy the small snippets of observation people share. (And they sometimes link a longer post with a + between them.) It's not for deep, thoughtful introspective essays, just off-the-cuff musings. I'm glad to follow you!

And then I only followed her to make sure she was still alive, despite all the college idiocy she participated in, and made public on Twitter. And it was an interesting view into the mind of a 19 year old. After about 18 months she wised up and made her Twitter feed private, which only means that several thousand "friends" can see what she does, not anyone who stumbles across her. My point (and I think I have one) is that, to me, twitter is pretty stupid. I always said if you can sum your life up on a bumper sticker, it doesn't say much about you. If you can sum yourself up in 42 characters (or whatever the limit it) I'm not sure what it says.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-74321123016060752842013-11-30T08:29:04.810-05:002013-11-30T08:29:04.810-05:00I think there are two ways you can use Twitter - a...I think there are two ways you can use Twitter - active and lurking (from my old school days in the south!). Active is have it plugged in to your other social media - there truly are some folks who really only use twitter (cause of it's brevity), and you can pick them up this way. <br /><br />The other way is lurking. I actually have two accounts so I know which one is lurking and which is active. The lurking account is plugged into anything fashion, sewing or anything even close to that I can think of (keywords/phrases) and so when that feed comes in, I can click on it and poof, I'm getting gobs of info.<br /><br />As an aside, I also use <a href="http://www.yoono.com/" rel="nofollow">Yoono</a> (I'm on Firefox and they have a plug in.). It integrates with all my Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook (and pages) so that a little box in the lower corner pops up and shows the latest tweet/post/msg or whatever. I love it. <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/yzcorhxb4fgxkxe/screenshot-yoono.jpg" rel="nofollow">Here's</a> a screenshot.<br /><br />Whenever I need ideas I can open up the tool bar on the left and scroll through them, or it I just want it going in the background, the little box on the left will pop up. I love it! And so now I'm following you!!! ;)ClaireOKChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794385586295229490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-12008498232069054822013-11-30T07:53:51.522-05:002013-11-30T07:53:51.522-05:00What sewing machine is on your wish list, and what...What sewing machine is on your wish list, and what is the current count? I just gave my sister who is a sewing newbie one of my Rocketeers-503 so now I'm down to 4. I'm trying my hardest to resist the many 401's I see at Ebay, but my Lord it's hard!! LOL!! <br /><br />On another note I think you should join Twitter, although I only do Facebook once in a great while, I'm sure it will only broaden your reader base---go for it! A friend was telling me about Instagram and I'm going to check it out, I'm already at Pinterest. Peter you truly are a great source of sewing inspiration! I'm on my way to the store to get fabric for a couple of projects I have in mind. Oh, quick question......if someone asked you to make that coat for them what would you charge? I'm always underpricing the things I make, a bad habit that I'm beginning to overcome.scorpioninbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12004830986247178040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-76887596238866383172013-11-30T07:32:42.473-05:002013-11-30T07:32:42.473-05:00Nice job on both projects!

Cathy is sooooooo lucky. my mom had a dress similar except the second color was (close to) a midnight blue instead of the beautiful magenta. we had a photo of her wearing that dress, very very similar to Cathy's, with a beautiful black picture (?) hat, black gloves. Cathy's shawl is perfect but the gorgeous black hat with wide brim and the mid-length black gloves would be fabulous additions.

I don't use it personally at all. I have barely ever tweeted, and don't wish to do so. I do like that one tweet can be set to show up on multiple platforms calling the follower to check out the new post or sale or issue of the day. I like the bloggers I follow who do this, as I tend to read/view them more often this way.eljeannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-18426513883789527822013-11-29T20:11:55.767-05:002013-11-29T20:11:55.767-05:00I would do instagram but I don't own a smart p...I would do instagram but I don't own a smart phone -- just a stupid phone. ;)Peter Lappinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109154527996679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-32591493415777662652013-11-29T20:05:53.524-05:002013-11-29T20:05:53.524-05:00Great looking garments.
