@jay_1965vw that is good news! It will be nice to be home. It is a shame your overseas stay is hurting your hubby’s career though it is an experience your whole family will grow from – and Dot especially being born overseas, that is pretty special too. It isn’t an everyday thing so you are pretty fortunate to have the opportunity. Still, there is…[Read more]

@Buratti made some good points. My youngest is not as easily amused as my older children were, so my sewing is back to only a couple of hours a day (but my house is sparkly and washing up to date as she likes to help with those)

I have a new ‘most difficult project’ a jacket I am making my son. I have already put in 9 hours and only 1/4 of the…[Read more]

3926.409 grams according to google 😀 @jay_1965vw

@jay_1965vw really??? She was 1/2 an ounce lighter than my baby and she was waaaay lighter than the other two. Funny how it works but if you remember that 2.2 lbs equals 1kg and if 9lb 4oz (the size of my eldest at birth) was 4.095kg and 11lb 3oz (ds’s size😱 i know!!) worked out to be around 5kg, then your little Dottie (I love that you call her…[Read more]

@jay_1965vw congratulations sweetheart! What a wonderful piece of news to share and she looks a very special treat. I am so glad she is content at the moment (my Chloë was like that too) and that you are all doing well. Three isn’t as bad as what people say… I think it is just used as a deterrent myself! Dorothy has a beautiful meaning to the…[Read more]

thanks for the suggestions. The kids are going to be asked to wear dark coloured long sleeve shirts and pants and black shoes so thankfully we don’t have to worry about dressing their bodies or feet.

I think I’ll do a mock up of the fleece hat to see if the director likes it (thanks for the link @jay_1965vw!). I think they would be quick to…[Read more]

@roundtheworldgirl and @jay_1965vw I live in DC. I tried to get a sewing meet up group together a few years ago and the poor turnout and lack of interest was such a bummer. Is getting better though.

Enjoy the DMV and stay aware of rush hour times.

@jay_1965vw Yes, Northern Virginia. A meet-up would be fun! I don’t have many sewing friends here 🙂

@jay_1965vw I look forward to hearing about which machine you get. Good luck with getting all the other assorted paperwork sorted out!

It feels a bit silly to mention since I’m not the primary student, but I noticed the other day when I was playing violin with my daughter that I don’t really squeak anymore. I think I’d been sliding just a tick…[Read more]

@jay_1965vw good luck on the house hunt. I actually live in the NoVa area (recently returned from four years overseas). I hope you enjoy your time here!
