My answer is C. a roomy apartment, but it must be on the top floor of a wonderful older building. A rooftop terrace with a myriad of blooming plants is a nice addition.

-- this one’s tricky too, and I think Auntie’s found the best way around it. Given just the basic choices tho, I’ll choose a peaceful cottage.

I'm sure he has his moments.

If anything...jeans!
2. Your Beau decides to serenade you from below your balcony, what should he sing?

Can't think about this. I'm a musical enciclopedy, couldn't possibly stop at one song, reagardless of the question.


3. What shouldn't he sing?

Or about this !


4. Is Simon Cowell sexy, yes or no?

Who is Simon Cowell?

5. Do you put salt & pepper on your food, automatically before tasting it first?

Oh yeah! When it comes to this, no food has enough spices.

Qsilv always teaches me words. I went for CAMBRIC and saw it's a light cotton called BATISTE elsewhere.
Qsilv, you are a walking dictionary. Thanks

Baldur

'Cambric' is the more often used word up here in the US, though if some used 'Batiste' it would be understood

polenta

thanks Baldur.
I remember when I was a young girl, we bought cloth and went to a dressmaker to have our clothes made and then we knew the names of many materials. Now girls don't know the names of materials and they have never even stepped into a dressmaker's house!!!!!!!!

polenta

On second thoughts.... it's not that I know many names for fabrics in English. Probably neither so many in Spanish either. I can't believe where all this knowledge has gone!!! LOL
Maybe.... flannel, tweed, cotton, wool, silk, pollyesther, viscose, gabardine, tartan..............and now CAMBRIC!!!!!!!!!
LOL LOL LOL

Qsilv

....oh, fabric's fun!

Girls may not go to dressmakers or mantua-makers much anymore, but there are plenty of women who sew and quilt and do cloth-based crafts.

Any fabric store from JoAnn's to NewToto will show you hundreds of different weaves, but here are Q's faves--

batiste, bombazine, bouclé, broadcloth, brocade, cambric, chambray, chenille, chiffon, corduroy, crêpe, damask, denim, felt, flannel, gabardine, georgette, jacquard, jersey, lamé, loden, matelassé, mohair, moire, muslin, organza, paisley, pashmina, pique, plissé, pongee, satin, serge, shantung, taffeta, tricot, tulle, tweed, velour, velvet, velveteen, worsted

hmmm... that was interesting to compile... I had no idea how many it'd turn out to be!
Lots of wool and silk in there... plenty of cotton, surprisingly little linen..
I should add leather; tho it's not a weave it's a 'fabric' I do love.

What do you think I'm gonna do with these two incredibly good lists. I'll copy them and paste them with my documents.
You both are living encyclopedias...........................................
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Qsilv

yikes... how'd I leave out challis and chamois?

Baldur got Q on one tho.... what the dickens is "orleans"?

The others just aren't on my favorites...
(well... ticking can be fun)
and madras.. omg, haven't thought of madras-cloth in years... that's soooo 70's

Baldur

(Baldur cheated.....

http://phrontistery.info/fabric.html

I only listed items not on Qsilv's list that were at least somewhat recognizable from my reading)

Baldur

orleans, interwoven cotton and worsted

The more I read on this forum, the more I enjoy discovering people's hobbies and passions. Let alone personality (think I got over this long time ago)! Don't think I ever stopped to think about how many types of fabraic they are. Well, partially because I'm more of a nature's fan , than of clothes. They're beautiful, but sometimes I really wish I wouldn't have to mind them so much!

Qsilv

pthpthtphththhhh, Baldur.... name the ones you really love! On your sofas, tables, bed, bod...

Q sorta cheated too tho... my mom was a costumer. ;>

Baldur

ok ok
paisley, velvet, linen, corduroy, tartan, nubby wool, kilim
