Oh, this is frustrating. I buy my music from iTunes. This started when I had an iPhone, and even though I no longer have an iPhone, I find iTunes to be the easiest way to find new music and buy it. Consequently, most of my music is stored in .m4a files, which is an MPEG-4 […]

If you stand for equality for women, then you are a feminist. If you just want revenge, then you’re not. This simple phrase fell out of my mouth when explaining to someone my views on feminism and what’s giving them a bad name. “To hear her talk, she doesn’t really want equality for women, she […]
The “good” titanium plated scissors I was using for cutting fabric were not shaped well for trimming the seam allowance on flat felled seams. Since I expect to be doing quite a few of those, I looked at the store for a better pair. I splurged and bought a small pair of knife edge dressmaker’s […]
