They’re desperately trying to truck out the snow as much as possible so the melting won’t be too bad. But when you are talking numbers in the 100s of thousands of tons, it just won’t happen soon enough. For example, the football stadium has approximately 220,000 tons sitting in it currently. They have only successfully plowed and trucked out…[Read more]

It sounds like some good has come from this difficult time re the MIL. I am happy to hear it and perhaps there will be less stress for you.

Here we are on day 4 of school cancellations, government cancellations, court cancellations. While our half of the region got almost no snow, the teachers live scattered across the region and are still in…[Read more]

@brenda1652 We are just north of the storm. The city proper and northern suburbs don’t have any snow at all. 6 feet in some places south of the city/south part of the city. Sadly for many people, we are expecting 50s on Sunday, so much will melt, and there will be basements flooding.

One of our local customs is the Wednesday before…[Read more]

Here we are experiencing a rare meteorological phenomenom which I think only happens here in WNY. Because we are positioned south east of one of the Great Lakes we often experience lake effect snow. (not so rare) This year the cold front that has swept across North America has swept across the relatively “warm” lake. So now, we are experiencing…[Read more]

I have the same concern about the Art Museum pants. Last year I made 8s for Thanksgiving. Alex is still wearing them, but now just a touch short – kind of like 50s short. They were very long last year. However, the butt kind of poofs balloons on them even though he is grown. I am wondering do I do a 7 and add lots of length, or stick with the…[Read more]

I just logged on for a peek
Like I do every other week
There’s something to see
So excited, I’ll pee

(Sorry– clearly I hang too much with the kids.)

Ha! Cute!

Last night in the car, my 8 yo son said, “mom, I want a queasy bake oven for Christmas.”

Me: (aside) you’re only getting that if you are getting a pregnant woman, and that ain’t happenin’.

MY 14 y/o nephew just about died laughing. First for queasy bake, one of those instances where the error may be more accurate than the correct version, and…[Read more]

Besides the dog eating my jump rope as demoralizing, I am at a stop. Machine in shop. The dealer was like, this machine and you are not a good combo. She offered to give me the full value against a trade in for an elna 5300/540 for the difference.

The buttonholer is touchy, and intermittently works. The feed dogs were bent and tipped so…[Read more]

If you think sewing is fun
Then you must make a quick run

Sarvi. That’s the problem. I copy the Flickr link and try to past but it won’t work. It will paste into a browser or word doc. I even hand typed the link when I clicked the link link.

In any event the dog at the dress. Ate. It.

Christmas is five weeks away
I oughta start planning today
But I fear I cannot

Becky, is this your first?

If so, you will find yourself doing mad sewing until the wee hours saying… how clever this is! So ingenious!

And then when you try to make something from another pattern maker, you will be disgusted and find yourself digging out the instructions from this or that O+S pattern to show you how to do it better than…[Read more]
