What Can I Accomplish While Watching The Latest Episode of Downton Abbey?

February 15, 2012

sewing and sewing and sewing

Does anyone else measure their sewing time by number of episodes?  I do.  Since I finished all the Netflix available Breaking Bad episodes, I moved to Downton Abbey.  And when I finished Season 1, I am catching up on Season 2 via the PBS iPad App. 

Going from cooking meth to English period drama.  What can I say?

Watching the latest two-hour episode I

  • finished piecing my Sparkle QAL top
  • realized that I stitched a block incorrectly
  • decided to fix wrong block later
  • picked up the Terrain quilt and stitched together a few more strip trios.

    I did the same thing on my last Sparkle block. I still haven’t unpicked two of the sides and it’s been about a week.

    When I sew, I can’t have anything on the tv that I will get too engrossed in. I usually put on a movie I’ve seen before or have music in the background.

::The Name::

Five Baht Elephant. My mother is from Thailand, where elephants are royal animals. Growing up Mom would tell us to save our pennies, "in case a man came to our door selling elephants." At the time we thought it was the most absurd thing ever. Now I realize it was the Thai version of saving for a rainy day. Lets hope that we can buy an elephant for only five baht!
