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

I have been meaning to try carbon paper but haven’t done it yet. I do have a tracing wheel inherited from my grandmother and I find that for a lot of fabrics, I can just trace over the pattern onto the fabric, without any carbon paper or other ink-leaving device, and the divots left by the wheel are deep enough for me to see the line when I am…[Read more]

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

I’m so sorry to hear that Jay. My mother died of cancer last year and I did not make it home in time either. I felt very helpless and really devastated that I was not able to be there for her at the end. I hope your trip home and your visit to her family is able to provide some small measure of comfort. Hugs to you.

Iranian picnics sound much like Armenian picnics. Armenians (at least in Armenia, not sure whether they do this in Glendale too, perhaps you know?) go out into the woods and build a barbecue pit, then haul in the platters of skewered meat, herbs and vegetables (and lots of bread, no rice). And don’t forget the moonshine. Lots of moonshine.…[Read more]

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 🙂

Thanks for the idea about including some swim gear, that’ll work great for us!

Wishing you peace in your heart, Jay. Loss of a peer is so difficult in its own way, and to lose a beloved friend is even harder.

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]

Oh Jay I’m so sorry for your loss! It is so very hard to see someone you love so much slip away due to such a horrible disease as cancer. Having seen my fil go from a fit man in his late 70’s to a frail old man looking 90 in just six months was enough. I completely understand the enormity of your grief having seen it first hand myself.

I’ve had a fabric.com order fail to arrive. They promptly reshipped it. Another had the wrong fabric in it. They quickly sent the correct fabric and let me keep the other stuff. I would count as one of the “did not complain” customers, but gee that’s a bad business model they’ve got going on.
@motherof5 that would be a great use of that wool.…[Read more]
