The Sewing Mom

I really hate when I find a so called blog that is doing nothing but copying other people’s posts. I honestly don’t care that they are pinging back, it’s still not their work and they shouldn’t be passing it off as theirs. I am not going to say who it is or provide the blog address as that would just be giving them a free link, something I am NOT going to do.

This post brought to you by Sprint. All opinions are 100% mine.

It is so tough to keep up with all the latest technology.  Everything from my sewing machine to my cell phone is basically outdated as soon as I buy it because they are always coming up with something new and better.  I have to say, this is especially true with cell phones.

If you’re in the market for a new cell phone, Sprint is offering the Nexus S™ 4G for free.  Yes, you read that correctly, they are offering it for free when you open a new line of service or add a line to your existing account.  This phone has built-in Google apps, integrated Google Voice™ service, 4G speed and a super fast processor.  All that and yet it’s still small, fitting nicely in the palm of your hand.

Or, maybe you like things in 3D?  Did you know that there is now a cell phone that brings 3D to mobile?  And yes, Sprint is offering the HTC EVO™ 3D phone for free when you open a new line of service or add a line to your existing account.  With this phone you can actually view 3D pictures and movies all at 4G speeds, that’s pretty incredible!

These are web only offers so be sure to check out the Nexus S™ 4G and the HTC EVO™ 3D plus get activation fees waived for new lines of service and free shipping, all at Sprint.com

I’m thinking it’s a result of getting older, but I can’t seem to get warm, even inside the house.

It’s in the 50’s today and the indoor thermostat is set at 67 during the day. I’ve heard the heater kick on several times today, but here I sit, in my fleece sweats, feeling chilly. If this is another one of those signs of aging, I really hate it! Wish I could just get warm.

I’ve been trying to decide on what sewing project I should do next. I know my Breast Cancer Awareness quilt still needs binding put on, but I’m thinking I might do a small project just to keep me going and make me feel productive!

I recently purchased a pattern and the supplies to make a “hot bowl”. It’s a hot pad that is curved and designed to use in the microwave when heating up anything in a bowl, like soup. If I get myself going, I’ll make one and then share it here.

First though, I have to work. I am working a split shift today, and then attending my daughter’s high school softball game tonight, so no projects of any kind will get started today!

I really enjoy sewing and have a very nice sewing machine. I do have a pet peeve with my machine though and that’s the fact that it doesn’t bother to let me know when my bobbin thread has run out of thread.

I know you wouldn’t think that’s a big deal, but today, while sewing on a 67 inch long border to a quilt top, unbeknownst to me, my bobbin ran out of thread. So, after putting 67 inches of fabric through my machine, only 3 inches were actually sewn together which meant, I basically had to do it all over again. Of course, I had to load the bobbin with thread first!

Ok, done with this vent and by the way, my quilt top is finished! I will post a picture tomorrow (hopefully!).
