A tag question post and we're still hot

The a/c guy has the part, he's in another town on a repair and will hopefully be here soon, it's 5:48 right now and 91 deg in my house, so keep the fingers crossed...

Vintage 40's blouses, but I am too hot to sew right now :)

Europe, such as Italy, England, Ireland, Scotland, Spain, any and all...

3. How do you relax?
Sew, read, crochet, watch NCIS or In Plain Sight, Deadliest Catch or History Channel

4. What is your favorite holiday?
I don't know, all are good.

5. What is one sewing skill you want to learn/try out?
Making a jacket, coat, but I cannot get enough time.

6. Can you knit? crochet? other crafting talents?
Crochet, cross stitch, decorate cakes

7. What garment/accessory do you wear the most?
My TNT tops and my wrap dress

8. How much time do you spend reading blogs? (per day or week)
Too much instead of actually sewing, maybe an hour over the course of the day, 5 min here and there.

Eight others should pick up this tag, you pick...

Post a comment and I will draw this weekend. And to last weeks', now I have your info & they will go out tomorrow. At this rate, I may thin my stash quicker than I thought. Once my kids go back to school, I may go through the fabric stash and make little scrap bags for quilting scraps for giveaways. On the home sewing front, I was able to get one top put together for daughter and the second is also sewn together. Both need bias tape finishing (handwork) which can be done in the evening in front of the TV. Maybe tomorrow I will get the remaining pants cut out, bringing her total to a possible 5 pairs of capri/shorts for school...
