I’ve started my Christmas sewing, in fact I started back in September as soon as I finished the last birthday of the year. 🙂
I think I’m about half way through. One of the biggest I was sewing is Elsa’s corronation dress with cape and gloves. The dress is done but not cape or gloves. I’m not sure how I’m going to make gloves!

The other big…[Read more]

I say:
– crayons (2 syllables)
– soda (my husband is from Ohio and usually says ‘pop’)
– swimsuit or bathing suit

– my husband says “crick” instead of “creek”
– my mother-in-law “warshes” her dishes as opposed to washing them. Another Midwest-ism, I think.

How do you say “roof” and “mirror”? For me:
– ‘roof’ pronounced “rufe”
– ‘mirror’ has two…[Read more]

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.
I couldn’t finish the sewing as the house was filling with insects. I have no idea how they all got in but they were going for the lights. So annoying as Jed was reaping until 1:30 and…[Read more]

Crayon here.

We now regularly use ‘amaze balls’ and ‘awesome sauce’ in our current vernacular. We call them ‘britterism’s’ from the awesome Brittney.
