Given that I will not be making curtains out of it, what should I do with this fabric? It is 100% cotton, woven, in pink with a little square print. I have 5 yards– enough to make any garment in my size. I can combine it with another color, perhaps a solid or complementary print, as well. Simplicity has many basic patterns to choose from.

In January, I joined Toastmasters, an organization dedicated to helping people become better public speakers. While I secretly suspect they’re actually a cult, just waiting for the opportunity to recruit me, I also welcomed the opportunity to showcase my abilities and improve them.
Speech #1 is the “Icebreaker” speech. It’s 4-6 minutes long, and the purpose is to get to know the speaker and to establish a baseline for future improvement. It’s uncommon in our club to videotape speeches, but it is acceptable, and of course I couldn’t try something new without sharing it with you all! Plus, you can get a laugh at how unbelievably self-centered I am in this video.
The audio’s weak because the audio on my camcorder is weak (boo). I’m taking suggestions for an inexpensive (here. It’s longer and more rambly than the final one I gave to the Toastmasters meeting, and weighs in at 32 MB, which is why I didn’t post it directly.
Edit: I *think* I’ve fixed the problem with the wrong file being sent with the enclosure. Sorry about that!
Oh, and I should probably mention this, since it harkens back to the early days of this vlog. I bought This Book Will Change Your Life AGAIN! and have done one of the days exercises– I’ll post it as soon as the vlog for that day is ready. I probably won’t go back to doing an item every day, but periodically it’s nice to go back to one’s roots.
