How Not to Sew

Well, there are days my head is elsewhere.  Sucked into the virtual void.  Left mindlessly but happily entertained.  But first . . .

I did sew.  I planned to sew and I did sew.

Another very pretty block from the Barbara Brackman Civil War Sampler using some of my old favorite reproduction fabrics.

And then it was lunch time.  And I opened the MacBook.  And I remembered that I was curious about what was happening over with Britain’s Got Talent. 

My curiosity began a week or so ago when I stumbled across these two videos(coming up) on YouTube.  Two very different singers but I loved them both. 

First, Jai McDowall.  He’s got stage fright so bad his knees are shaking but then he goes on to powerhouse a song like this. 

And then Michael Collings.  Another young man, sweet and likeable as can be, with a completely different kind of voice, but what a voice!  Here he is at the audition.  And here he is at the final.  He didn’t win, but he’s probably opened more than a few doors for himself.

And a little more from Jai McDowall – who no doubt has them on their feet in Scotland.  Here he is at the semi-final.  (Can I just say “wow”?)  And the final performance.

So, that’s why I only got one block done this afternoon.  But, hey, it is a very pretty block.
