  • Sarvi-

    That sounds lovely! Big California families really know how to make a day of it at the parks!

    Because of the time of year…the easter bunny always brings a new set of swimmers for each kid in addition to some sort of little toys. And, the requisite candy of course.

    We already had our spring break and unfortunately hubby and I had to…[Read more]

  • Yup, Easter is this weekend and for our kids, it’s Spring Break! We’ll take a scenic driving road trip as we usually do. I love a good road trip.

    I had big plans of sewing Easter baskets for each of the kids, since we’ll be on the road for Easter itself. Sewing costumes for the Comic Convention got in the way of that though.

    My kids love the…[Read more]

  • What’s everyone doing for the holidays? Spring break is here or nearly here, Easter and Passover (I think? I’m an atheist so I apologize if I’ve got it wrong) are on their way, and Persian New Year just passed.

    We went out for the traditional Persian ‘outdoor thirteen’ picnic, two weeks after the Spring equinox, albeit by accident. My birthday…[Read more]

    Wishing you peace in your heart, Jay. Loss of a peer is so difficult in its own way, and to lose a beloved friend is even harder.

    It just goes to show that even online stores are run by humans!

    I am knitting tonight – third time lucky!

    In the sewing basket I have still got those shirts. I need to complete the easter bunny pj’s for Chloe and then I need to do a pretty puppet show dress NEED TO!

    Then I will make something adult sized and nursing friendly.

    That’s this week!…[Read more]

    Oh Jay I’m so sorry for your loss! It is so very hard to see someone you love so much slip away due to such a horrible disease as cancer. Having seen my fil go from a fit man in his late 70’s to a frail old man looking 90 in just six months was enough. I completely understand the enormity of your grief having seen it first hand myself.

    I think…[Read more]

  • I’ve had a fabric.com order fail to arrive. They promptly reshipped it. Another had the wrong fabric in it. They quickly sent the correct fabric and let me keep the other stuff. I would count as one of the “did not complain” customers, but gee that’s a bad business model they’ve got going on.
    @motherof5 that would be a great use of that wool.…[Read more]

    Oh no, Cybele. What an awful time to be going through *hugs*

    I am not having a good time myself. My best friend died on Tuesday. She had ovarian cancer for four years and has been fighting every step of the way.
    We found out a couple of weeks ago that she was stopping treatment, as the cancer was not responding to the chemo, and I made plans to…[Read more]

    I was a loyal customer for years, also having never run into the problems I read about. But the last couple orders have had mistakes and this last one took me two emails, a phone call and two weeks to receive. Then they sent me a duplicate order. Which – I don’t need 2.5 extra yards of home dec weight sateen! Maybe I’ll do a blog giveaway…[Read more]
