Sunday Chat – Raw Edge Quilt Block, Not Missing the Feedback, Other Stuff

Happy Sunday!

Or is it happy?  I don’t even know why I say that.  For many, it’s probably a very sad day.  There is always someone out there struggling with depression, anxiety or the things life throws at us.  For many it’s just Sunday. A day they wish would hurry up and end.

Even on my best days, I don’t like to hear shit like “happy Sunday” so I don’t know why I even say that.  I’m going to change that starting tomorrow.

Yesterday I uploaded another quilt block, this time a Raw Edge Quilt Block.  No feedback on if anyone likes it because I have comments turned off.  That’s what I love about no comments.  No feedback to influence me on what kind of videos I “should” update.  I absolutely LOVE and am quite addicted to making quilt blocks lately (I’m sure the phase will pass after a while) and I’m doing quite well with those in the youtube earnings department. But I had soooooo many tell me how much they hated my quilt videos. They were not on my channel to see that stuff. They wanted only things like tag alongs or hair cuts or me reading comments.  Funny, silly stuff.  And I understand that’s what they signed up for when they subscribed.  And how I wish so much that I would have never known how many hated my quilting videos because it put a great big damper on my excitement for that series.  My love the blocks remains, but every time I upload I know I just pissed a lot of people off. Not knowing that would have been better.

Today I might, importance is on might, go out and do a tag along just so I can feel less guilt for doing two quilt blocks in a row on my channel. But see, that takes the fun out of the tag along for me.  I don’t want to feel forced to perform. I love tag alongs but only when I’m in the mood for them. The continuous struggle with my channel is real and the pain from the struggle is getting old. No matter how much I tell myself to just do what I want and not care what others think, I can’t help what I actually feel inside. All the brain power in the world does not change my feelings.

Did I ever mention that Derrick is in Houston?  He has been there for 2 weeks now appraising cars for flood damage. He’s going to be heading to Beaumont, TX soon then most likely Florida after that.  He said he’s seen stuff that breaks his heart.  I can only imagine how awful it is for those who lost everything.

FREE SHIPPING to your home!  Don’t like it?  Return it to your store with no hassle!

My friend, Cassandra Hall (see her channel here) has one of these machines and she gives it rave reviews!  I’ve heard from others who also have this one and love it!

Great price on this sewing machine!  Perfect for someone just starting out!

  • For designer top stitching: Add that extra fine, custom touch to your work with the built-in decorative satin, scallop, checkerboard, or feather stitches. For even more creative options, use the included twin needle, and enjoy sewing two neat, parallel rows of your favorite stitches!
  • For blind hems: Use the included blind stitch foot with the built-in blind hem stitch, for virtually invisible hems on skirts, pants, and sleeves.
  • For sewing knits and stretch fabrics: Use the included ballpoint needle with the built-in stretch stitch on your favorite knits. The ballpoint needle helps prevent fabric snags, and the stretch stitch helps keep your stitching straight, not wavy!
  • For zippers: Use the included zipper foot and built-in zipper insertion stitch to help ensure neat, even stitching close to each edge.
  • For overcasting edges: The special included overcasting foot and built-in overcasting stitch are designed to you give you a clean, serged-like edge, perfect for home dec and knit projects.
  • For buttonholes: Easily create custom-sized buttonholes for standard and novelty buttons with the included buttonhole foot and 8 built-in, one-step buttonhole stitches. Clear markings on the buttonhole foot allow you to see the exact vertical and horizontal points that fit your unique button.
  • For sewing on buttons: Use the included button-sewing foot along with the built-in satin stitch to quickly sew each button on your garment. Simply set your pitch setting to zero, and enjoy professional-looking results!

NOTE:  Rollback items are not always available in your store, but they might have some in the warehouse. Most items can be ordered online and sent to your home (free shipping if $35+) or shipped to your store and you can pick it up for free.  If you don’t like it, you can return it directly to the store. So easy!

Or ships FREE to home with $35 purchase

SHOPPING TIP: If you get close to the $35 minimum for free shipping, simply order other stuff you always buy including groceries! There are more and more grocery items available on Walmart.com now that you can have shipped to your home. I love ordering the big and heavy stuff for home delivery like 20 rolls of toiler paper or big jugs of laundry detergent, stuff like that. I do about half of my grocery shopping on Walmart.com now. So convenient!

chat-saturday

Happy Saturday!

I would soooooo love a mini therapy session right now, but I’m full of energy and have lots to do so I want to be quick today.

First, let me tell you what yesterday’s video was about.  It was one of my new addictions, making blocks disappear and turn into something else.  I made a Disappearing Corner Block this time and I really loved it.  I have many more of these on the way!

Today, I want to get some fabric listed in my Peanut Gallery group.  I plan is to offer to the group first at a discounted price, then whatever is left will go on eBay at a higher price.  I want the group members to have perks like that.  Not sure if I’ve scared all my fabric customers away.  If I did, I will simply build a new clientele over time.

And if you think you might like to join my group but you pretty much hate groups, let me tell you that my group is currently set up so that no one can post other than me.  I turn comments off each of my posts too.  This might be temporary, but my gut is telling me it’s permanent. lol  However, I never say never.  So if you are thinking about joining, you can get in on awesome fabric at reduced prices and you might also learn stuff about me that you won’t learn from my videos.  Now that I don’t have to worry about hearing lots of noise about what I say, I will be even more open.  Let’s just put it this way, my group is turning into a lurker’s dream come true.

Not sure what my plans are for videos today.  I’d love to knock out two, but we’ll see how it goes.  And I really want to think up some new series that I might enjoy that do not have anything to do with sewing.  I would totally LOVE to do cooking and baking but that just does not make sense for me now since I really have no one to eat the stuff I’d make.  I would not be eating any of it and my mother can only eat so much. I don’t have room in my freezer to freeze it all.  So cooking is out.  I must think of something else.  Notice I didn’t ask for suggestions? lol  Suggestions = Noise in my head. I prefer the quiet.

Yesterday’s Walmart.com Deal:  There is a terrific clearance price on a Men’s Mountain Bike! Check it out!

Yesterday’s Amazon Deal:  What a darling shark bed for cats or small dogs!  Do love!

What are My Viewer’s Buying on Amazon?  You can see the Top 25 Items here!

10 Free eBooks plus Free Music:  I have the new Free eBook Downloads which includes the Donut Cookbook, 12 Knitted Scarf Patterns, Happiness Simplified and more!  I also have the Free Music Downloads.

Youtube Analytics Mini Update:  Youtube has updated through 9/21. I am just a hair under $1,000 for the month so far.  Not bad!  Not bad at all.  Still no spikes in site, but I’m good with things so far. You can see my channel here.

Peanut Gallery Facebook Group Update:  We currently have 1.062 members and still shrinking! lol  I gained some yesterday, but I lost a few and I banned a few more because… you know, stupid people.  Now I want to invite everyone who loves a quiet party! I know there are others out there who don’t like memes or silly conversations, yet you might still like to know what I’m up to.  This is the group for you!   You can join here!

Have an awesome Saturday!  Darlene xoxo
