This is excellent! The best advice I was given when I was starting to learn (2.5 years ago) was to check YouTube for any techniques I wasn't sure about.

I'd love to buy everybody something, but I'm sill a small timer. This was sort of a calculated lateral move. I'm not getting a huge raise, but I'm getting a better title and my foot into the door of a system that is known for fostering career growth.

great news, m! and good luck on the move!

Nice, man.

Do you plan on ever learning how to tailor your own clothes? It's secretly a skill I really, really want to learn and develop because a) it's fucking cool, and b) tailoring is expensive, lols.

Had a really great day today. Didn't even have to use my AK. Gotta say it was a good day.

lol, I'm going skiing this weekend and I lost my neck warmer (my jacket's neck opening is a bit too big and it gets drafty)...so I have some fleece and will be making another one which should take care of this weekend's practice.

I'd like to learn a few more basic alterations (particularly shirts and top-block pants work). I'm ok with hand sewing, but most of the machine work I have done has been particularly utilitarian so I have never had to worry about even seams and making everything look nice.

Now that I have a machine, I don't have to save up all of my repair projects until I go home for christmas (sucks to shelve a pair of jeans in august because they need crotch repair that can't be done until christmas). That kind of stuff is super easy...

Why Ed, that looks like a Christmas greeting from the Pope. Why yes, yes it is. This has inspired me. Every year when I send Christmas cards I will throw in a few odd, "important" people but not like, the President because everyone does that, but assuming Beatrix' abdication is complete, the King of the Netherlands,the head of the Indian Parliament, and whoever is in charge of the Masons, just to see if I get cards in response.

I find it endearing that she would do something so sentimental yet frivolous. Completely outside her usual logical engineer's mode.

The conspiracy episodes lead to shit. Total let down.

And you got your christmas card too late, he's not even the pope anymore.
