WMHB and some movies...

I made some pretty good progress last night -
here is a snap of the "Blooming" sampler as it stands now -


Sorry about it being so crooked - :)

The movies last night where NetFlix selections - I got all three yesterday - The first was a documentary about Irish Country Houses that was unwatchable as the disc was a total mess, sound wise and digitization so that went back in the sleeve within 5 mins - then it was on the the other two selections - both of them made in this century!! Imagine that!!! The first was "Housewife, 49" - 2006 - an excellent made for TV movie dramatizing the real life WWII Diary of an English Housewife, Nella Last. I really enjoyed this piece and would recommend it to anyone - it is about an hour and a half so it is not too long. The second movie was recommended to me - "My Blueberry Nights" - 2007 - about a journey to find oneself and then end up back where you started or there's no place like home - It was fine for a single viewing - but the way I have heard some people go on about this flick - I just didn't see it.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Take care,
edgar

    I saw Housewife 49 when they first showed it on UK tv - I thought it was brilliant too.

  11. I'm always so inspired with your progress! I think a Tribute to Leslie Caron night is in order soon - one of my absolute faves - Gigi, followed by the darling Grandaddy Longlegs. Two fun, happy musicals! There's a fun stitching evening for you! I'd love to hear what you think of some of my teeny works - my blogger site is "Life's A Banquet" - so named as I'm Auntie Mame to my darline neice and nephew.
