For Halloween I bought a big 4 and the recommended fabric amount plus 1/2 yd. I followed the layout carefully and still not enough. I had 58 inch when it called for 44. Still not enough. I had to rig the layout and the pieces piecemeal to sew up a silly blue panne velour robe for a costume. Let me tell you the time I lost and the $$ (to the…[Read more]

OOH thank you. That’s good to know. You are right of course. The notcher would not work on fabric.

That notcher thing. I want an easy way to cut my notches inward without accidentally going to far. I also want a clear notch as opposed to a little snip so I’m not later saying to myself, is that a notch I’m supposed to match or was that just a fray, bad cut, etc.

Driving you insane? Must be on the mend!!!

The walking is very exciting!!!

Yes, I am grateful and lucky. Who would think that a school with 7 Kinders alone would be a gift? Although there are only 6 classes of 1st and 2nd and 3-5 only have 4 each. (Our Kinders max out at 16 students per class, so it isn’t as huge as you’d think.)

But based on after school behavior today only, if that continues, this was SOOOOOO the…[Read more]

Oh the scissors. My son came up to me with my office/paper scissors and said they weren’t cutting. I examined them and found sticky gunky tape residue on them. My son is a tape fiend. I told him they wouldn’t cut because they were covered in sticky residue. I watched the light bulb click on over his head. I washed them. I gave him the evil…[Read more]

Oh @justsewit I am so sorry to hear all this. Farm work is so important and dangerous. Would that I knew a way to help from across the world.

@motherof5 – how exciting! Although to seat 12, I envision a bus more than a van!

We’re having a warm winter. We broke a record of latest date with no snow. It was 12/3. The weather pattern holds and they don’t expect even a trace until mid December.

This is bad news weather wise for us. We sit on the eastern edge of a Great Lake. Those…[Read more]

Tonight, I made one lazy days and one onstage tutu. Earlier in the week I made 10 in a clutch. Last week I made 3 hopscotch, and have 1 in progress, 2 fabric baskets in progress, and another onstage tutu in progress.

I really ought to get some photos up.

But we are going away for 6 days mid December, so I lose a week to prepare for the…[Read more]
