Hayley Ninnis is a 2016 graduate of Penn State University, where she majored in psychology. Her eventual goal is to obtain an MBA in order to manage a vintage store. In her free time, Hayley Ninnis enjoys glassblowing, and has taken several courses at East Falls Glassworks. She is also an avid collector of vinyl records. Since the rise of vinyl records, music lovers have been investing in record players. Record players look and sound cool, but they do require proper maintenance. First of all, like most electronics, record players can be damaged by water, so they should be kept in a safe location. They are also negatively affected by sunlight and extreme temperatures. The record player should be cleaned regularly. Wooden players can be maintained with furniture polish, while plastic versions can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. The actual turntable, platter, and tonearm should also be cleaned and dusted regularly to avoid dust buildup, which can adversely affect the quality of the sound and damage the components over time. In addition to keeping the record player in good condition, make sure to keep records inside sleeves and clean them lightly if they have a grimy buildup.

While working and finishing her bachelor’s degree from Pennsylvania State University, Hayley Ninnis still finds time to pursue a variety hobbies and interests. One of Hayley Ninnis’ interests is glassblowing, and she has taken glassblowing courses at East Fall Glassworks.
Glassblowing involves molten glass being molded and shaped into vessels and other forms using air that is blown through a long metal pipe on a molten blob of glass. Glassblowing did not appear until 50 BC. Prior to that, glass vessels were made with a form in which the molten glass would be shaped. The molten glass was then cooled, and the form was removed. After the glassblowing process was developed as we know it today, it became easier and faster to create glass vessels. East Falls Glassworks is located in a textile mill from the 19th century in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is now a complex with a growing art community. There are over 40 art studios featuring painters, sculptors, and artists who use other glass work techniques. An Etsy shop owner, Hayley Ninnis enjoys collecting vintage clothing and accessories to sell. When she is not stocking her store, Hayley Ninnis likes to make clothes and knit.
Knitting a sweater for the first time can be daunting, but with a few tips from Craftsy and Lion Brand Yarns, a beginner can craft a well-thought-out piece. 1. Take accurate body measurements before starting a project. Only undergarments should be worn to ensure the best result. If a person expects to wear a camisole or tee shirt underneath the sweater, he or she should take measurements while wearing the garment. 2. Like sewing, seaming together knitted pieces works best when pinned together for alignment. Using yarn needles made especially for seaming also helps avoid splitting the material. 3. Take time to make a gauge swatch during the planning phase. This gives a person a better idea on how tightly he or she knits and the number of actual stitches created per inch. Depending on the swatch, the knitter can make necessary adjustments to create a perfectly fitting sweater. |
