Swimsuit or bathing suit for swimming, crayons for coloring, and I think I’ll avoid saying ‘dag’ until I’ve spotted it in the wild a few more times, I don’t want to inadvertently offend.

It’s interesting the way meanings change over time, too. Both geek and punk were once things you’d never want to call yourself.

Wow! Too cold for the coat! That would be an experience we here never have! Ususally it is too warm for the coat!

I am up to sewing – yay! Done the front bodices and the back and am in the middle of sewing the hood, just got to trim. Then topstitching and applying the extra bits and pieces.

My aim is to get through the vast majority today – and…[Read more]

I love the new format but it takes a long time to load, longer then Flickr.

I finished Trixie’s Bubble dress up to hand sewing the bodice and buttons/buttonholes. Hugo was studying for exams so her nursed *held* her so I could get stuck in.
