Text of the page (random words):
fore another upswing but it made for a difficult suspension of disbelief there s still a definite trend toward more of an on line presence in terms of media but will bloggers be a main source of news who was your favorite character i always have a hard time with this i liked the three main characters as a team but i don t have a favorite single character shaun is kind of a surfer boy daredevil but he also has an intelligence an emotional side buffy is like a future media queen but she s also quite intelligent an emotional writer george is more level headed cool than either of them but shares a deep bond with her brother as well as an appreciation for buffy s poetic side what was your favorite part maybe the end where there is a hint of societal rebirth while things are still coming apart what was your least favorite there was a sadness whenever a major character was lost even though it was probably necessary to the story as a whole have you read any other books by this author no i don t think i have would you read any others because of this book i will probably check out some of the others in this series would you change anything about the book i might edit it to shorten it a bit or break it up into more parts it was quite a read at 571 pp would you recommend this book to other readers yes to anyone who is into zombie media or who like me likes exploring socio political topics in an enjoyable read what surprised you the most about the book the research into media technology the on line world these topics weren t just skimmed played an important role in the book would you ask the author a question if you could maybe what would you ask i would probably ask if they still thought that the blogging world would play such a big role in the future did you like the book from the beginning or did it take you a while to get into it it took a while to get into but not too long at first i thought it would be just another adventure type book were there any situations or characters in the book that you identified with i think i identified with all three of the main characters in some way how george s caution coolness buffy s poetry shaun s sense of humor the way they worked together the inner intelligence emotion what is the significance of the title feed is what zombies do but more than that it s a media feed even a social political feed would you have given the book a different title no if yes what is your title i can t think of a better more succinct title glasses so i can see by shelley mcelhiney have you read this book what did you think what have you

poison pumpkins so recently i took part in a swap challenge to make a halloween fall related embroidered felt ornament i thought for awhile wasn t sure what to make but after a bit of thought about halloween fall pumpkins apples skeletons skulls i came up with the idea of a poison pumpkin today i thought i d share how you can make one too wool felt stem wool yarn scrap for hanging the ornament pumpkin orange felt fabric found at a local goodwill stuffing scrap of vintage fabric embroidery thread in candy corn colors sugar skull embroidery pattern from sublime stitching awesome pattern or you can draw your own what you will need felt in orange green yarn or ribbon plain fabric light colors or white work best thread in candy corn colors stuffing for plushies embroidery pattern for skull this one is from sublime stitching there are others or you can draw your own bowl mine was about 6 across pencil for tracing scissors pins step one iron your skull design onto the plain fabric according to package directions or draw your own embroider in your choice of colors stitches i liked the idea of candy corn colors on a sugar skull my son once made a sugar skull with candy corn colors at a local event i thought of this as i worked cut around the design i used pinking sheers some my grandmother had to prevent fraying of the raw edges step two cut two circles out of the orange felt i used a bowl large enough to accommodate the sugar skull design plus enough for a small seam allowance extra so the pumpkin wouldn t be completely covered by the design to trace the circles onto the felt step three cut out one stem piece i just free formed the shape from some memory you could make it less curved as some pumpkins have more of a stump than an actual stem leave enough at the bottom for a small 1 4 seam or so step four stitch the sugar skull embroidered piece onto one of your felt circles i hand stitched everything but you could also machine stitch your pumpkin step five cut shallow into the top bottom of your pumpkin pieces these don t have to be perfect but they should be the same on both pieces so do both pieces at the same time step six sew your stem piece to the top of one of the pumpkin pieces mine is sewn to the inside of the with a 1 4 seam leaving most of the stem sticking out add a piece of yarn or ribbon for hanging step seven sew the circles together using a 1 4 seam leaving an inch or so left open to add the stuffing i ve simply left the edges showing so there is no need for turning the sugar skull is already on the outside step eight add the stuffing i ve stuffed this loosely for a lighter more squishy feel but you can add more if you want more a stuffie kind of thing sew the opening together step nine add hand stitched curved lines for a pumpkin effect i ve pulled my stitches a bit to make the sections created by the lines puff out like on a pumpkin if you leave out the stitching you get more of an apple shape than a pumpkin which would be cute in red felt for a poison apple have fun come back show us what you ve made sam posted by unknown at 9 11 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to

repurposing stuff so for some reason both my husband and son have decided that their jeans should have giant holes in them maybe they didn t decide this but the holes have appeared anyway i could have just slapped giant patches on them or maybe they should have been thrown out i m kind of liking the current ripped jeans thing that s been a current thing many times in the past i like the idea of giving things new lives so i decided to add patches in a new old way when i was a child my jeans or my brother s pants needed patching my grandmother would iron the patches in so they were on the inside facing out usually before the fabric was able to fray in the wash this made them less obvious virtually invisible if done right than the traditional patches thing on the outside particulary when we were able to match the paches to the fabric color i still had some of the outside type of patches but these were emboidered patches added for fashion statements not often used to cover actual tears especially once i found that they weren t as sturdy as the real thing i decided to use my grandmother s technique on my husband son s jeans in a way that strengthens the jeans keeps some of the great texture of the frayed fabric while adding a new textural detail of its own starting with some bits of vintage 60 s denim fabric that i had lying around i pinned the fabric to the inside of the pants basted around the edges to hold to fabric on straight while i stitched any fabric could be used you could even use lace or velvet for a pretty contrast since these jeans belonged to my husband son they were signifcantly damaged i decided to use more of a matching fabric if you re trying to strengthen the area as well as patch the hole s i d suggest matching the fabric to the weight of the pants fabric if you want to use lace on heavier pants with large holes you could try backing it with another fabric first even if that fabric is sheer for extra strength to help keep the lace from tearing when the pants are worn once the patch had been basted to the inside of the fabric i started stitching back forth across the patched area this is amost like weaving extra stability into the area the stitches don t have to be perfect or perfectly even these patches look great stitched with a more primitive look it matches perfectly with the frayed edges of the fabric i used a blue thread also something vintage that i ve had lying around forever that is similar but doesn t quite match the patch or the original jean fabric to make the stitches stand out a bit for texture but not too much for my husband son you could use a completely contrasting thread to add another layer of texture to your design sewing the stitches in more than one direction crossing over each other strengthens the area along with adding a design element i like how these patches turned out it takes a while to do patches this way i used up the better part of a day for each pair of jeans but i think it s worth the effort if you don t like hand stitching i find it kind of relaxing you could try machine stitching the effect would be a little different less primitive but still interesting maybe you could even use different stitches or embroider a pattern over everything so in the end i ve saved four things from the trash heap two pairs of jeans some fabric scraps an old spool of thread plus came up with a technique i think i ll use again in the process made someting cool out of old stuff i hope my husband son appreciate them but at least i like them sam posted by unknown at 9 24 pm no comments email
