Giveitaway giveitaway giveitaway now


The chorus is the only part of this song I can understand. Also: motion sickness warning.

So, I thought I had posted the winner of the pattern giveaway on my birthday, but clearly getting older is affecting my memory. That or the procrastination thing. Anyway, using a virtual 10-sided die (because mine are at school), the winner is...


9 ≡ 4(mod 5), and so the winner is Andi Unseamly! Huzzah! I've sent you a message on Google+.

Speaking of giving stuff away, I've been doing quite well with the Sew For a Change decluttering challenge. In fact, if I count the items that my downstairs neighbour graciously took away for her work donation thingy 2 days before the challenge started, I've already reached the required 28 items. I'm going to see if I can do it without counting them, though. Given away so far (or definite plans to do so)? Tap shoes, a historical atlas, my Aerogarden, rollerblades and wrist guards, 2 immersion blenders, a Porta-bar that we foolishly pick up off the street, the camera I took to Europe 4 years ago, the Palm Zire 71 I thought I could upgrade to after said trip, some metal puzzles, my green Mahalo ukulele and penny whistle, 2 boxes of CDs, some clothes, a bunch more books (including the giant tome Audubon's Quadrupeds of North America), these patterns and trim (which I'm counting as three items even though there are 13 of them), and two bags of magazines which are going to Arts Junktion, which provides art materials for TDSB schools. I'm currently trying to sell my 3M MPro 150 projector and some Folio books. I'm even thinking of selling my hard guitar case.

This could get serious.

    1. I have to say it doesn't feel like I have really decluttered because I have so much paper to deal with. I notice that is the theme of the April challenge, so I hope I will be taking care of it then!

    1. Earworms are my specialty, although I'm usually getting instead of giving.
