Best Place to Pick a Gift
Saturday, December 10th, 2011Developing Skills As You Grow Older
Saturday, November 26th, 2011![Free-time activities: Listening [jpg 112kb]](http://curriculum.qcda.gov.uk/uploads/German%20level%205%202%2E2%20(c)_thumb_tcm8-16817.jpg)
As we get older, it can become harder to try new things. When we are children, there is no shortage of places to learn and adults willing to spend all the time we need to become proficient at something we express an interest in.
So as we age it is important to find all possible ways for us to continue to learn new things and stay mentally active. One pastime which combines both mental agility and motor skills is patchwork quilting. Seen by some as a hobby for people with no electricity, it is in fact one of America’s most popular free time activities.
But how to get started if you do not know anyone who is an expert? We see two obvious paths. The first is to enrol in night school, typically for an eight or sixteen week course. If that is too much to ask, we would suggest you try quilting DVDs. You can view these at home and see if the subject really captures your imagination before you go public.
Quilt Block of the Month
Saturday, September 17th, 2011Quilt block of the month, also referred as BOM, is an exciting project where in you are not sure what the design of the quilt would be till the very end. Participating in a BOM project offers you great fun, mixed with mysterious excitement. A new block or pattern is released every month and you need to keep arranging these blocks month after month to create an outstanding quilt at the end. This project, generally, runs from 6 months to 1 year, depending on the size of the quilt and the total blocks required to complete the quilt.
Participating in these BOM projects entitles you to an additional gift or incentive besides the excitement it brings. These projects are theme based, at times, to add a touch of the season. For instance, quilt block of the month themed around Christmas can enhance the décor of your room in a great way.

Gifts from Brighton
Wednesday, July 27th, 2011Living in Brighton, you will understand that the town is quite a tourist destination and during the summer months will be full of foreign students coming over to the UK to enjoy the cultural experience whilst taking in as much knowledge of the language as possible. What this means for the town and a lot of the shops involved is that they go out of their way to selling gifts that are mainly aimed at the tourists, but hidden beneath the “I heart London” tees and other Brighton hoodies you can find a quaint selection of unusual gifts hidden around the more popular shops. The flea market Snoopers Paradise is a great place to find something unusual for someone, but don’t expect to find a bargain just because of the preconceptions of a flea market, these guys know exactly what everything is worth and will then put a premium on top of it.
Buying the Best Sewing Machine
Thursday, May 26th, 2011I had been working with my church to get a program planned for a fundraiser for a family in our church. We were planning on putting on a play and having a spaghetti dinner. It was my job to design and make the costumes for all of the kids in the program. I knew that there was no way that my old sewing machine was going to hold up to do all of those costumes. I wanted to buy a new sewing machine for a few years anyway so I thought that now would be the time to find the best sewing machine that is on the market at this time. I found what I seriously thought was the best and I ordered it. I could not believe how well it worked. I got through all of the costumes in about half the time that it would have taken with my old one.

Worried Farmers Call For Chinese Lantern Ban
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010Chinese Lanterns have become much more popular these days. People are seeing them in the sky or hearing about other people using them to celebrate and they are becoming more commonplace. I have read many stories where people seem to mistake them for UFO’s or simply do not recognise what the moving light in the night sky is.
This must lead to chaos with frightened calls to the local police reporting an unidentified flying object and I’m sure more than one has telephoned the local astronomy centre for advice too. On a recent visit to Jodrell Bank in Cheshire one of the questions that was asked of the resident astronomer was if he thought that there was life out there in the rest of the Galaxy or indeed the Universe. The expert’s view was that although he could not rule this out there weren’t many planets in our own solar system that could support life but he did tell us one or two funny stories about the public reporting various sightings. He said that in recent times they could mostly be attributed to chinese lanterns and often his first question would be to ask if the light was orange and was it a windy night – if so then this ‘unidentified’ object would be moving pretty swiftly in the dark sky and was in all probability a lantern.
