Kristin Chenoweth Gets Gleeful

Over the past few weeks, various bloggers and co-workers have been raving about the new Fox musical comedy series Glee. Based on what I've been hearing, I had planned to give it a look. However, I made sure I didn't miss the September 30th episode because of two words... Kristin Chenoweth. I've been a fan ever since her role as Olive Snook in the brilliant but canceled Pushing Daisies. She's

R.I.P. L.S.D.

It was announced today that Lucy Vodden died in London last week at the age of 46 after a long battle with lupus. Although she isn't a household name, Vodden was the inspiration for one of the most famous songs of the rock era... The Beatles' psychedelic classic Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds. Vodden's part in the creation of the Sgt. Pepper track began at the age of 4 when she was schoolmates

QAL- Cutting Your Fabric

Sorry it has taken so long for this. . . I seem to have sewing ADD- I can't stay focused on one thing for too long! ;0)Here are the essentials to cutting your fabric for a quilt:Of course, if you want a cutting ruler that isn't broken in several places, it will work, too. ;0)I have tried doing it without these things and I DON'T recommend it!Some people recommend washing and ironing your fabric

Final Results of the Patrick Swayze Movie Poll

With almost half the vote, "Star Wars for Girls" (better known as Dirty Dancing) trounced the competition in the recent poll in which I asked readers to select their favorite Patrick Swayze movies. Although Dirty Dancing's win was predictable, there were some surprises. I was pleased to see To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar do as well in the poll as it did. Even though it was

AND--the icing on the cake--I had someone ask me on Sunday if it was from the Gap!!!! This is pretty much the ultimate compliment for me as far as refashioning goes. Ya. Awesome.

Four Generations

When my grandmother passed away this summer, I was the lucky one who inherited all her crafty hordings from her 91 years of life. There are two large boxes sitting in my sewing room/play room full of her fabric, thread, lace, trims, ribbing, patterns-- well, you get the picture. As I was going through these things today, K2 who is almost 5, was helping me sort when we came across a gold colored

On The Road to Dubai

Dubai - a place that is almost but not quite totally unlike civilization!

Random pictures from Dubai. Not the full monty as it were. I was with mates and they had things to do. So I only saw a part of the city. The pictures were taken from the metro and from the car. A word about the metro... remember when New York City and London first opened their metros ... OH ABOUT A HUNDRED YEARS AGO!!! London - 1863; Paris - July 1900; New York City - October 1904. Yeah..

Eid Mubarak

Musings from the Eid holiday. Please don't ask me what an Eid holiday is. I really don't know. All I can tell you is that it involves people buying new clothes. How this is different from every other day in the UAE, I can't tell yas. But it's some sort of religious thing. That involves sales and clothes. So yeah.....For "my" Eid, my mates family and I went to a water park. This was actually FUN!!

Patrick Swayze: 1952-2009

I am sad to write that Patrick Swayze has lost his battle with cancer. He was 57. While standing in the grocery checkout line at the crack of dawn Sunday morning, I saw the cover of The National Enquirer. It had a picture of a sickly Patrick and with a headline stating that he was going home to die. I knew then that his battle would soon be coming to an end. Even though The National

Final Results of the Recent TV Show On DVD Poll

Proving that nostalgia trumps courtroom intrigue, The Wonder Years narrowly edged out L.A. Law in the recent poll in which I asked you which TV show would you most like to see get a proper DVD release. Because The Wonder Years relied heavily on the use of popular songs from the late 60s/early 70s, music clearance issues is the reason it has never had any "complete season" DVD releases as of yet.

Little House On the Prairie Turns 35

On this day back in 1974, one of TV's most enduring dramas (Little House On the Prairie) premiered on NBC. During its primetime run, I foolishly dismissed Little House On the Prairie as a bunch of pioneer B.S.  I used to say  to myself, "How is this show relevant to me?"My feelings about the show changed several years later when TBS aired back-to-back episodes during its weekday morning lineup in

My dad has blogged about this before, and there are interesting things to consider in all that.But then Scott presents us with two huge straw men which she burns in passing. In describing a continuum of Biblical literalists to philosophical naturalists she also tacks on creationists to
