July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |

Congratulations on your virtual blogging adventure!](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-BCoF_2-1901868_14.gif)  Hi:This brings to mind sewing and material. My stepmother made dresses for my stepsister and I. They were violet and a very pretty pattern. The material was organdy. I was trying to think of what year that might have been. I'm not sure, maybe around 1957. At that time organdy was a scratchy material. Pretty did not count if you were used to jeans and tennis shoes. I don't remember having to wear it very often. It was for the Easter service at church and my family did not go very often. Easter Sunday was always a special time for my dad to take us to church. For my family, Easter Sunday was a church day. A day to dress up and have Easter baskets. Even every day jeans were made with a heavy denim material at that time. I'm sure it was denser than fabric today. The denser material good for tree climbing and roughing around outdoors. Did not get so many skinned shins. As for organdy it went out of style, I think. Because I sew, I became interested in fabrics and noticed when clothing materials started to be made out of much softer fabrics. Now ladies' jeans are often made out of soft stretchy materials. I have seen ads on TV for jeans boasting of the softness of the fabrics. Happy sewing. |
