gurdymonkey | The No Black Rule

A couple years ago I opened the closet and realized I owned an awful lot of black clothing. So I told myself I could not buy anything new that was black, and more or less stuck with it.

I'd like to institute the No Black Rule for sewing. I'm running up some of JAF's kosode order this weekend. The white went like a breeze. The black is killing me. It's SO hard to see what I'm doing it's not funny.

I am, however, trying to ease the pain with a terrific internet radio station that

layla_lilah recommended to me awhile back. It's called "1920s radio," but right now Oscar Peterson is barrelling through some kick-ass boogie woogie, so don't let the name fool you. They play from the 1900's to 1950, and they're based out of Virginia. I'm streaming them through the menu at http://www.shoutcast.com/ which doesn't require additional plugins. Some of the novelty songs are pretty goofy too.

And now off to buy more thread......
