The Sewing Mom

I’ve been doing more work in my sewing room lately, cleaning it first and then I’ve started and completed 2 projects in the last week. The biggest problem with my sewing room is that I have no television access. There were no cable outlets in the 2 smaller bedrooms and so there is no t.v. It gets so quiet in there when I’m working. I usually have a nearby t.v. turned on, but I can’t see it, I have it on just for the noise.

For Christmas, I bought my daughter a portable speaker system for her iPod and I’m thinking that I should get myself one to put into my sewing room. I also have an iPod and it doesn’t get nearly enough use. I tend to use it only in the summer when I’m mowing the yard! I can play it in my bedroom, but I don’t spend a lot of time in there, so have a system in my sewing room would make more sense.

Speaking of my iPod, when I first got it I figured out how to download music onto it. The problem was, every time I attempted to put new music onto it, it seemed that I had to do it differently each time. I’m fairly easily frustrated with technology, so now that my daughter also has an iPod, I have her to all my music updating, as well as her own. Another item she received for Christmas was a gift card for downloading tunes and she’s been quite busy doing that lately. It’s funny because when I get a new CD, I tend to download the entire cd to my mp3, whereas, she will pick and choose specific songs. I tend to like most of the songs, I have a hard time weeding out the ones I don’t like.

That’s probably why I never change my ring tones, I can’t decide what I want! I have actually downloaded two unique ring tones on my phone and that was tough to decide what I wanted. I have been thinking lately that maybe it’s time to update, it has been a couple of years and the songs I chose are getting old. There are just way too many songs to choose from, it gives me a headache trying to narrow it down even. Not to mention, trying to do it on the tiny cell phone screen isn’t the easiest job. I should think about getting software that would allow me to create my own ring tones. Maybe I’ll just have my daughter do it!
