I’m at the part where I need to decide whether to add the sash to the Fairy Tale dress. Wish I could teleport you gals here to give me your opinions!

@cybele I hope that grieving so close to this holiday will be somehow spiritually reviving and comforting. My daughter’s first birthday was the day after my grandfather’s funeral. It was enormously helpful to connect death with new life in that way.

@Todd that’s a wonderful poem! He’s got it right.

My MIL took my kid out for an Easter egg hunt…[Read more]

@sarvi your Persian New Year in the park experience reminded me of one of my favorite Carl Sandburg poems from 1916.

Happiness

I asked the professors who teach the meaning of life to tell me what is happiness.
And I went to famous executives who boss the work of thousands of men.
They all shook their heads and gave me a smile as though I was…

I am so very sorry for your loss Jay and I think of you often Masha.

Maybe if you can’t find help here, you could ask on their photo? Though I am sure some lovely lady will chime in and help:)

We always go to the Easter egg hunt at the local park on Saturday, the kids get soooo much candy. Last year they got (not kidding) a 5 gallon bucket full of taffy. They think it is the greatest. We gave half to Grandma for treats at her house and the rest lasted us nearly until Halloween.

I always make (or buy) the kids a new church outfit as…[Read more]

Armenians and Iranians are very very similar! I am quite sure I’ve seen some of those picnics 🙂

I use the same ‘pin’ method as Shelley. And @lightningmcstitch – re notches – my mother taught me to always cut my notches out rather than in – much safer 🙂

We’re having a quiet weekend here – today (Good Friday) we’re taking the kids to the Royal Easter Show (Ag show) – but they are more excited by the idea of rides and show bags rather than seeing the animals etc ;-).

Oh, everyone’s plans sound so nice! Don’t worry about the rain, I’m sure the bubbly will be it’s own kind of sunshine 🙂

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]
