Music to Sew By.

You know, awhile back I told you all about my embroidered pillow project, and made you guess where the title came from.  I really had intended (cross my heart) to give away the answer sooner than now, but everything got in the way.  Today I'm finally giving in! 

Several of you guessed it was a song of some kind, but no one was sure who sang it.  Until, of course, my Paps (via my Nanny) informed us that it was a country song by Hank Locklin that came out in 1958.  He was right.  I should have known he would know.  "Who sang that song?" - ask Paps "Did such and such sing with anyone else?" - ask Paps.  I could go on.... 

However, I was thinking of the Dean Martin version that was released in 1965.  Both were extremely popular.  So, there you have it!

Is there anything in particular you like to listen to while you sew?  Anything you like to watch, do, stand on your head (that would be impressive) while sewing?  I'm a definite movie watcher when it comes to handwork.  Anyone else?  I'm usually sewing to the hum of the dryer or one of us yelling to someone from one end of the house to the other.  

Off to do some yelling....Happy Wednesday! xoxAchaia

We typically listen to audio books while we sew. Lately we've been listening to "That Hidious Strenth" by C.S. Lewis. I know, quite the title title, eh? It's terribly intriguing though! A must read if your are or above the age of 13! ( it's the third book to C.S Lewis' space trilogy)

I'm not sure where I'm supposed to comment for the raffle, but I'll comment here. My favorite thing on your site is the below knee street fair skirt!

Hello, ladies :)
We have a giveaway of your delightful apron happening right now at Deep Roots At Home! I wondered if you had thought about sharing about it on your FB page or blog. It is generating a good bit of interest over here.
Thanks for considering it. I appreciate you gals!

Oh, I forgot! I like to sew and blog and cook to Handel (any of the great overtures or great classics), Michael Card or Selah, and for piano, a guy by the name of Tim Janis or Lorie Line...many, many more.
