So, it is party time again, folks!

[wiseheart]

Each year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.

This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.

Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)

So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!

Soledad, in excited expectation




Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.

Enjoy!

A group of my friends at university had a sewing circle, and attending those meetings I did get some embroidery projects finished. I was far more ambitious in thought than in practice though, so I have a number of unfinished and even unstarted projects lying about.

At the moment I'm trying not to aquire too many more projects, by not letting myself buy more materials/patterns/etc until I finish some.... of course, this doesn't stop me finding more online or anything.
However, having got myself a new sewing machine at the beginning of the year, I've been doing more - recently using its automatic button hole making to replace poppers on duvet covers with buttons. It worked very well on the first one - it no longer undoes itself overnight (or even longer term), but I have to finish the second one - it has been sitting around waiting for the buttons to be sewn on for about a fortnight now.
Once I'm a bit better, I want to work on finishing off a sampler I was making - all the embroidery is done, but it needs to be sewn onto backing material and finished off to be hung up.

The temptation to buy material that catches your eye is great isn't it? Very difficult to buy only when you're ready to sew :)

Yes, but I've ended up with rather a lot more than I need, and don't have much storage space, so need to organise it all at some point.
