Second Look Sunday 1 February 2015

• Strange fashion trends are nothing new, check out these weird fashion trends from history. I can’t imagine fake eyebrows made of mouse skin making a comeback.
• Behold the nostalgia of this house for sale. The 96 year old owner is selling her home of 72 years and it is like a 1950’s time capsule! I would happily move in….
• If you wear glasses and makeup, you need this helpful video from Sharon Farrel. It’s full of tips and tricks.
• I was fascinated by these pics of a jeweler repairing a ring that had gone through a garbage disposal. It doesn’t even seem possible…
• The highlight of my week was my lamington cupcakes. These need to be made again!
• Are you into Bob’s Burgers? I love that show, I mean the names of the burgers alone… Anyway, I never thought of it as feminist until I saw this vid.
• Boobs. The bane of my sewing life. If you are busty, you’ll recognize these situations and if you are smaller, you’ll recognize some of these. Either way, embrace what you have.
• Are you into podcasts? I’m just getting into them. I love the QI podcast, ‘There’s no such thing as a fish’, which Mr Ask put me on to. I also found ‘The Allusionist‘, where Helen Zaltzman talks about language and etymology, which fascinates me. Strangely, I found this podcast because it linked to my brief history of women’s underwear post! Pretty cool really. Which podcasts do you listen to?

I’m kind of not sure about what today will bring. What I know for sure, is clean clothes will be folded, I must sit down with my planner and get the week sorted (it’s looking very, very busy right now). In a rather hopeful way, I have my sewing kit out with some fabric and a pattern. Maybe there will a nice quiet time this afternoon where I can get a little something sewn. My little list graphic is exactly what I have planned and yes, I do doodle hearts and stars on my lists. Now you know! What are you up to today? Something fun? Tell me all about it….
