This post is long overdue.  Sometimes, I have the attention span of a gnat.  I think about things I want write about, but when it is time to write, those thoughts fly right out of my head.  I am trying to get better about jotting things down when the thought strikes.  There is just too much bouncing around in my head at any given moment.  Geesh….there I go again…distracted from my original thought…

If you are looking for some great sewing podcasts, check out Lori’s at Sew Forth Now.  She covers a wide variety of sewing topics.  She has snagged interviews with some “sewing celebrities.”  Lori has a delightfully easy manner and conducts a great interview. 

Way back in the early days of Lori’s podcasts, she asked me to do an interview.  I am not a sewing celeb or expert on anything, but I did give Lori’s editing skills a workout.    It was a little weird being interviewed over the phone.  The interviews I have done in the past have been in person where I can talk with my hands.  Not being able to use my hands or draw pictures is like asking me to lose fifty percent of my vocabulary.  Nonetheless, it was fun.  I think it gave Lori a chance to figure out the whole podcast thing.  We talked about organizing sewing stuff, one of my favorite topics.  Click here if you want to hear it. 

I generally play podcasts on my computer while I am tracing pr cutting out.  I can’t listen to them while I am sewing because the sewing machine drowns out some of the interview.  I definitely cannot listen to them while I driving because I get so caught in listening to the interview that I forget to pay attention to the road.  (The same is true of books on tape/CD.)  Fortunately, my commute to school is less than 3 miles, so I barely have time to listen to whole song much less a long narrative. 

If you pop over to Sew Forth Now, tell Lori “Hi” for me.
