RunningBlog: Sports Bras?
Sports Bras
The topic of the next GGR episode (to be recorded today or tomorrow) is sports bras. I managed to get several interviews yesterday at WWKIP Day with women who participate in a range of sporting activities. If you’d like to contribute, just drop me an email or leave a comment on this post. I’m interested in hearing which type of sports bras you prefer, problems you’ve had with them in the past, features you particularly like; etc. If anyone has ever undergone a breast reduction, I’d love to hear about that too.
Optimum PB-Chocolate Ratio
Rob Cockerham answers the important questions: Why are Reese’s Minature Cups so much better than the big ones? Turns out it’s the ratio of chocolate to peanut butter, of course. (I had a bag of the Minis at Halloween last year and the Aussies went nuts. I particularly recall Mary-Helen asking me to put them away or she’d eat them all!)
Burning Man in Bellingen
Hahaha… am I the only one who didn’t know that there’s going to be a Burning Man Festival in Bellingen?? That’s awesome. (Link courtesy of the Snook.)
Jamming
Jamming
Last weekend the Snook made up a batch of “Christmas Jam” using some frozen Davidson’s plums his Mom brought us from their tree. He likes jam making, and so far everything he’s made has been delicious. However – I just found out you can make jam in a crock pot! (Crock pots. Is there anything they can’t do?) A couple recipes: Crock Pot Strawberry Jam; Crock Pot Apricot Jam; Crock Pot Apple Butter.
Spoonflower
Spoonflower
Oh. My. God. I’d heard of Spoonflower before but, as I wasn’t really a sewer, I hadn’t had much cause to visit. I just checked it out again. You guys, it’s basically Threadless for fabric! You can upload your own design and get it printed, and you can also buy designs that other people have uploaded to sell. They’re having a contest at the moment to pick a favorite robot fabric. ROBOT FABRIC. Excuse me while I just go “Squeeee!” in the corner. (I could have a robot skirt. ROBOT SKIRT! ROBOT SKIRT!)
Edited to add: Seamstresses! Which fabric do I need for a skirt? Will the quilting cotton work? Will it be too thin?
Threadless Sale
Another Threadless sale is on! (Mom: This means another package is coming to your house.)

Well that’s adorable.
Well that’s adorable. This is my new favorite blog. Grace and her cake is the cutest, funniest thing I’ve seen in ages. IT’S THE MOST SCRUMPTIOUS CAKE EVER! I also particularly liked the baby hearing its mom for the first time thanks to a cochlear implant. Lovely way to start the day.
