The Material Mama Podcast

Merry Merry! And links for you

Hello everyone!

I'm so glad to get a moment to update you all.  Everything is good, my illness is hanging on and my throat isn't yet up to a podcast.

I have gotten a few questions about the links I talk about on my shows.  You can check out my 'old' site here:

Or you can click here for the list of all the podcasts show notes.

 

Thank you for taking the time to listen!!!

Another gift for my listeners!

Nothing auditory this time. I am so thankful for each and every listener.  I wanted to do something more for you, so I have created a set of labels you can print at home!  Sew into clothing by cutting out and sewing around the outside edge.

If you use PhotoFabric, you should be able to use these labels on clothing or other items you sew up. I recommend using the poplin, and if you go to JoAnn's use a coupon!  Here is a good tutorial.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and all that good cheer!

Material Mama #31 - My musical gift to you

Here are some tunes to relax by.  They are totally 'me'.  A lot of funny stuff, I tried to keep it upbeat.  I''ll have another 'gift' in a few days perhaps more up your alley.  Have fun listening!  I hope I don't offend anyone.  The Re:Your Brains has been in my head all day.  J Coulton also sings a slow version of "Baby Got Back", which I didn't get on the podcast but is worth a listen :)

Happy Holidays, enjoy It's a Wonderful Life (The radio play)

My first holiday gift to you!

This is the radio production of It's a Wonderful Life.  Starring all the original actors!  Back in the days before movies were on TV and recorders were available, each year the Lux Radio show would bring to life a movie for free to radio listeners.  Take a listen and enjoy!

Short delay due to laryngitis

Hello everyone!

I hope you are all doing well during the busy holiday season.  My 5 year old has had a virus for about 3 months, similar to Mono. We had the fun  bloodtests, but it's not Mono.  Just Mono like whatever that is.

Last week, I caught it.  I knew what was coming so I recorded my next show.  I listened to it later and it wasn't up to even my standards.  Lots of cold medicine induced random discussions.  So I tossed it and decided to re record it but then was hit with laryngitis, that has lasted four days.  NOT fun with little kids around, as I"m sure you can imagine.  I did sew up one outfit for the Christmas show at my daughter's preschool.  Click the picture for more information :)

I also have two upcoming shows, my gifts to you.  The first is a virtual 'mix tape' of some of my favorite songs.  It's all podsafe and in my humble opinion, a fun listen.  Nothing to deep or holiday, just songs I've been listening to and enjoying and wanted to share with you.

The second gift to you is a radio show.  I'm keeping it under wraps for now, but it's an old favorite around here.

So as soon as my voice comes back I'll jump on the computer and record my show for you.  I'm spending a lot of time on the couch napping and listening to the UK version of Harry Potter.  I'm in the middle of the second book.  Pretty good!I never had time to read it and I really enjoy being able to listen with my iPod.

Thanks for your patience!

PS I don't think I shared this pic of my oldest when we went to the preview day at UC Davis.  It was such fun!
