    I think Sherlock is one of the few series I've ever watched that gets BETTER with each episode.

    Momine - my favorite program for clothes was/is The House of Elliot ( maybe one l?) - just love it.

    Ok, heros - who played Poldark?  that dates me, huh?

    I adore the Downton Abbey wardrobe. I imagine how each outfit would look with one of my antique/vintage mesh purses. My collection ranges from late 1800's to the mid 1960's. I even have a small coin purse for Mrs. Hughes' chatelaine. 

    Jim Caviziel; good looking but his character on Person of Interest is too intense.

    Melissa- right there with you- the scruffy maybe I have/maybe I haven't shaved or bathed look is not my fav. 

    I hope someone answers about the hair color with oil- I am interested in hearing more.  

    Hermione is quite regal - so glad she was not named "taffy" or something more common hehehehe

    As an historian, I love Ichabod's two-hundred-year-old clothing.  And long hair.  And military coat.   #blissful sigh  Did you see the episode where they tried to spruce up his wardrobe and put him in trendy skinny jeans?  Laughed so hard, I peed myself...

    was it the season finale? Haven't watched it yet. But, yes, I think I'd pee myself too if I saw him in skinny jeans. lol!

    Well, I certainly feel OLDER than most of you - alas, my "hero" was a young Jeremy Irons , and HIS VOICE, oh, his voice, I would sell my soul to have a CD of his reading TS Eliot's The Four Quartets.  Know he performed it recently in UK, but no recording available. Sigh...

    The movie Betrayal, with Patricia Hodges, oh my, oh my...

    Alan Rickman is another British actor with a sublime, sexy voice.  It reminds me of warmed pecan syrup over ginger cake.

    Sun, then I am old too, because I had the worst hots for Jeremy Irons for years!

    Alan Rickman will forever be Severus Snape! Has anyone noticed how he and Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) sound exactly the same?

    Sunflowers ... Truly Madly Deeply. 

    Something about those theatre-trained British actors.  Their voices are just... yummy.

    Ok, I'm a little vain about this. After 20 years I have gotten back into sewing. This is my first creation, an apron for my youngest DD. Oldest DD gets hers next.

    Nice!  I've always wanted to know how to sew.  I'm teaching myself how to knit; right now I'm working (carefully!) on a baby sweater.

    I have done quite a bit of knitting but never became very good.. Very frustrating. Back in the day I was a pretty good seamstress, so that's what I'm returning to. I love to create things with my hands!

    Okay, I'm volunteering to be the guinea pig. I bought some Garnier Olia hair color on the way home & will try to get to it this weekend.

    Yorkie, where did you find the apron pattern? It is really cute.

    Melissa, it is an "Indigo Junction" pattern. I bought it at a Bernina shop in my town.

    Yorkie - really wonderful!  I have always wanted to make a "kimono" shaped short jacket out of heavy canvas/sail cloth.  LOVE the lines of most Japanese clothing - even have ( finally) a sewing machine, but haven't used it much.

    YES, YES, YES, Selena -   Truly Madly Deeply.  Such a wonderful, wonderful movie.

    I think Alan R. has a MUCH deeper, gravellier voice than Ben C.  Loved Rickman in Sense & Sensibilty

    kayb,

    I mentioned the tinted brow gel. If you have an Ulta store near you, they carry it as well. I will only use the Anastasia brand. Covers the greys like nobodies business and fills in sparse areas. The color names are a bit crazy. Brunette is actually a dark blond/very light brown. Granite is a dark brown. I use granite.

    HI all vain ones!

    Melissa- keep us posted on this hair color- I got 30 more greys since I posted last night haha.  Love the idea of this brow stuff- I must need it everytime I go for my hair appt or even a wax they say "have you ever tried tinting or coloring in your brows....."  Uh gee if I had would they look like I had a chemistry lab malfunction- I am going to vegas this weekend so will hit sephora and check it out.  Caryn- if I have pretty light brown eyebrows with a few grey/white will the granite be too "brooke shields circa 1980"?

    Kay, my youngest is such a girly girl, I think she will definitely wear it as a "hostess apron". She's really not too much into cooking lol. Part of making these aprons is to get back in practice.
