Summer Sewing Mood
I am in a sewing kind of mood. I have many projects in the pipeline; quilts, totes, aprons, dresses, etc. And I have a pile of Spoonflower fabric just waiting to be turned into something fabulous. It helps to have a deadline though. I started this dress the night before the opening of my Mixed Media show at a local gallery because I didn't have anything to wear! I even made a belt with a belt kit I got at a garage sale a long time ago, it was super easy. My grandmother would have been proud of me! Even though she was a much better seamstress than I will ever be, I make up for it with enthusiasm. I get so excited when I turn a piece of fabric into anything, even if it's just a pot holder or a simple quilt block. Ok, this is the year I am finally going to finish a quilt, there, I said it...now I have to do it.

Spoon Challenge Contest: Watercolor!
The theme picked for the Spoon Challenge Contest is Watercolor! That works out pretty well for me because it's one of my favorite medium for fabric design. So I just sat down and painted a bunch of birds (although they kind of look more like chicks, which would make it an excellent Easter print!) But they are actually plump little birds, very well fed, but who can't keep a secret. They have been tweeting and gossiping away with their colorful chirps. You can see all the entries for the contest and vote here! Happy early Easter!

Adding multiple photos to a Shared Photo Stream
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: I'm having problems adding photos to my Shared Photo Streams—I only seem to be able to add them one at a time. Is there a way to add multiple photos all at once?
- Peter
A: There are a couple of ways to go about this depending on which photos you want to share.
If you're viewing a single photo, when tapping the sharing button you can actually select additional photos from the thumbnail previews shown above the sharing options. All of the selected photos will be shared to whichever service you prefer, although some services such as Twitter may disappear when multiple photos are selected.
You can also select multiple photos from the main Photos view for sharing. To do this, tap the "Select" button in the top-right corner to begin selecting photos, and then tap the share button to share the selected items.
Alternatively, if you want to share photos from a single "moment" (location/time grouping), you can tap on the "Share" button shown to the right of that heading, which will provide options to either share all of the photos in that group, or select individual photos from only that group.

Napster's 10th Birthday
Ding! Napster is now 10 years old, which means that if you remember using it in its original form then you're officially old. The file-sharing network that began the downfall of major music labels has celebrated with a post on its blog from CEO Chris Gorog:
"Napster was about putting the control into consumers' hands so they could find virtually any song they could think of and, as importantly, they could easily discover and enjoy new music. It quickly became an ever-expanding, very exciting world of music discovery. And it changed the music industry and entertainment business forever – overnight".
Of course, Napster is no longer online in its illegal incarnation - it was sued into oblivion. It relaunched legally in 2003 but the consumers have always stuck with less-legal alternatives like Kazaa, Audiogalaxy, Soulseek and most recently the Pirate Bay.
Last month Napster started offering an all-you-can-stream plus five download songs for $5 a month, which Gorog believes is as close to the original and popular Napster as he's going to get legally.
However, new upstart Spotify has been making waves by offering an ad-supported music service. It remains to be seen what impact that will have on the music industry.
