I do not need these but they keep calling to me. (I’m not getting them. I have never paid more than $100 for a pair of shoes but if they ever have a half off sale on them I might not be able to resist temptation.)
Tilly and the Buttons is a nice sewing blog. This One Week One Pattern challenge is sort of interesting. I don’t think that would be a challenge for me at all. I have a few favorite patterns that I use over and over again and I think I have enough versions of my big shirt to get through at least five days. Seven I’m not sure about. If we had several cold days and several warm days in the same week then I definitely could because I’ve made both short sleeved lightweight shirts and long sleeved flannel shirts from the same pattern. I’m trying to get away from the big shirt in my new sewing though. As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve realized that trying to conceal my imperfections beneath long loose tops just makes me look big and shapeless. I’m still keeping the big shirts though because I love the fabrics. I’m going to have to add a room-sized closet onto the house soon though.
A couple of WTF? items about which I don’t have anything to say beyond, “WTF?” Job seekers asked for Facebook passwords and Law firm fires people for wearing orange
and a few more quick links
Albert Einstein quotes, including some that I hadn’t seen before. I disagree with many of these. Just because he was a genius doesn’t mean he always knew what he was talking about. (IF he actually said all of them.)
Awkward Stock Photos. A few are NSFW but most are PG-rated “What were they thinking” type of shots.

Someone on the FB article made the point that information that “should” be held confidential in hiring decisions(because of EEOC) like marital status, sexual orientation, whether or not the person has children, even their religion and age – all of that could be revealed on a Facebook page….that’s probably the best counter-argument I’ve seen to the “employers should have the right to…” I mean, I wouldn’t want to hire someone who glorified going out and getting blind-drunk every week and posted disgusting photos online, but neither would I like risking of being accused of “You didn’t hire me because I’m a single parent” or somesuch.
I admit, the whole “we can learn your whole private life and you can do nothing about it” freaks me out a little bit.

Love the shoes! Agree, though, that I wouldn’t pay that much for them. Half price, though…
