    I was trying to find the discussions for the sketchbook shorts and sunny day shorts that are usually grouped under the normal discussions. There doesn’t seem to be any discussions showing up for patterns after the rollerskate dress. (They are listed alphabetically by pattern name).

  • Also @admin my profile looks very cramped on the phone. Not sure you can do much about it but I thougtt I’d let you know.

  • @admin That looks much better. However now I get text cut off on the right hand side on my phone. See attached image

    And I freak out at the thought of having a 12 year old! I see that it might be a never ending thing here!

    Have found more thread of the same colour/ shade and have almost finished the panel. Can’t wait to finish it totally and see it as a finished coat.

  • Cute @cybele727 !
    I’ve got one to share too:
    Driving with my three year old daughter in the car….
    A: Mummy, what are those boxes on poles?
    Me: They’re speed and red light cameras. If you go too fast, they take your picture….. (explanation of licence plate identification, driving laws and what it means to be “fined”)
    A: Well you’d have to bring…[Read more]

  • I want to share this cute story. My daughter ( in pre-k) was asking my mother how to spell “egg”.

    Gigi: how do you spell egg?
    GM: E. G. G.
    Gigi: not my name, Bama, egg?
    GM: I know. E. G. G.
    Gigi sighs and in a frustrated voice says: Bama, not. My. Name.

    GM: let me see how you spelled it?

    Gigi: egigi, just like you said. E. G. G.

    🙂

    Kahawa, the Afterschool are a dream. I am making my 5th pair for my daughter. The other day my hubby looked at our 5 yo daughter in RTW pants and said he was so dissatisfied with how they fit. He asked me to make her several pairs of pants.

    She was always tugging them up. I like the fact that you can color block the side panels, add…[Read more]
