(updated July 19, 2019) Do you listen to podcasts when you sew? I love, LOVE, L-O-V-E podcasts and I consume a lot of them! I work from home to design sewing patterns for my halfmoon ATELIER label, so as long as I’m not writing anything, I get to listen to podcasts all morning long while my babes are at school. Podcasts even turn the more annoying household tasks - dish-washing, laundry, etc. - into pleasant moments for yourself. Call me crazy, but I truly believe that listening to podcasts can inspire us to be better human beings. They open our minds and create such a connection to humanity that you can’t help but feel a least of bit of compassion for everyone. For a few years, I mainly listened to craft podcasts. But lately I've been leaning more towards general interest and story telling podcasts. So here you have it - my top-3 podcasts listed first, then a list of many others that I enjoy and recommend. + Death, Sex + MoneyThis is an amazing story-telling podcast with a fabulous female host! The running theme behind this is that death, sex and money are inherent to life but are “often left out of polite conversation”. Anna Sale will also have you laughing and crying and gripped by each and every interview. + CriminalIt's a podcast about crime...but not the way you'd think. They look at all different types of crimes - even those you may not think of as terribly

Well I'm back from from my fantastic holiday in France with Rainey J. She is really lovely and such great fun that I felt like I'd known her for years. My trip didn't start too well as I got lost on the way from the airport. A slight pronunciation difference led the taxi driver to drop me at Dinard, not Dinan! After finding a very kind woman, who phoned the taxi co. for me and explained things, I finally arrived in the right place, where Rainey was waiting for me. Rainey in her beautiful little apartment. Click here for a lovely story about this and a beautiful painting. Dinan is a beautiful, medieval, walled town and every part of it is picturesque. The buildings are so crooked that they look like they shouldn't be standing at all. We visited, art exhibitions, fleamarkets, cathedrals, roamed the streets and hit the bars at night. Our favourite bar is run by a lovely man and friend of Rainey's called Alain. (More on that later!) Ok, enough chit chat, here's the photos. View from the castle walls that surround the town. The street where our favourite pub was. Me guarding the gates against Irish invaders... such as this one.... "Let me in! Let me in! I need more sewing supplies and a martini!" Ok, now we're going to go somewhere really special. This cobbled street winds down and down to the edge of the town walls. Just down here, on the left is a magical place. Come with me gentle readers, whilst I take you on a journey of french haberdashery delight.......... Choosing one's treasures is a very serious business! I would have loved one of these antique sewing boxes, but they were not for sale. Here is the link to the website of this little shop of wonders. Yes, she sells online! As you can imagine, after that we needed to sit down and recover.....
