FSQ Youtube Video

Most importantly, I wish you all a happy 4th of July!  I love the 4th full of friends and family getting together, home town parades and BBQs with no obligation to bring presents.  Just snacks and beer.  I hope you're each celebrating in your own way.  My friends and I are heading out for a burger and fries.  What could be more patriotic?  Ha!

 For completeness sake, I thought I would also show you the Fluffy Sheep Quilting video that was made as part of my Rural Innovation Award prize package.  This short 1 minute video was made from an hour long interview.  They then chopped and changed my sentences together to make a concise film.  I don't remember saying things in this exact way, but it was close enough.  

 I am a small bit horrified to show you this, but Lynz wanted to hear my American accent so I will toss it out there.  I was chatting with Helen about how embarrassing this is and she's suggested a plan to make this easier:  I will ask you all to wince and alternate between looking at your knees/feet, the corner where the wall meets the ceiling and the top right of the laptop screen.  That way there are fewer eyes me at any one time.

 Again, I blush (horribly) showing you this, but maybe you'll have a giggle or two.  Enjoy.


My favorite thing about the video?  Molly at the end, of course!  My least favorite thing...my hair.  What's going on there?!?!  Anyway, hope it gave you a laugh!

    There is nothing wrong with your hair! You are right about Molly too. Well done and I hope that you haven't broken john's heart in two. Maybe he is hoping you will go to Lisdoonvarna this year!

    You are such a star, it is great! I love that last shot with the dog, and the bolts of fabric are so beautiful as a backdrop.

    I was so busy wincing and flicking my gaze from place to place that I barely saw you but looked just in time to see Molly trying to catch the quilts! The video is great - well done!!

    Nothing to be embarrassed about! Your hair is fine too. I think your American accent must have softened living in Ireland. I did notice you talk really fast! I am the same, haha.
