Oh and last one:

oh my, that Etro suit. I’m salivating.

Oh, and here’s an interesting discussion of the controversies behind awards for children’s books (who knew?) that I came across while looking for a book on William Blake for my child. I sharply disagree with some parts of this piece but I do like that it asks questions more than it offers pat…[Read more]

I heard this interesting program a while back: http://www.npr.org/programs/invisibilia/483855073/the-problem-with-the-solution

I was struck by the thorn in the heart of it: that our desire to help those close to us who are suffering, our emotional investment in their wellbeing, may be the very thing that makes us unfit to help.

I had a problem like this too and brought it to my dealer. On mine there’s a switch, in the area below the knife blade, that moves up and down to move a finger underneath the needle. If it’s down by accident it breaks my needles.

Are you wanting to use Fairy Tale/Book Report because those are the patterns you already own? If you need to find out whether that exact combo has been done before, I’d suggest either editing the title of this thread, or posting a new question, in hopes of catching the eye of somebody who’s done that specific thing. I did a search of the flickr…[Read more]

Those two are great options, but my daughter is turning 10. Those patterns are in the smaller size range. I still would like to know if the sleeves are interchangable between patterns. Has anyone done that?

Do you have an image of a particular dress that feels the most Little House to you? The Playdate seems closest to me, and wouldn’t require any mashing, but you might have a different image in mind:
