@juliamom2009 when the group is closed does this mean invite only? I scrapped my facebook account because I have stalkers! But, if the stalkers went away, I would happily be hoping for an invitation to this group!

I don’t believe there is any harm in asking to join. But then the fear of rejection can take its course and people may not bother…[Read more]

How lovely of you to put this together! Facebook keeps making it more and more difficult for us to reach our fans, so we really appreciate all your efforts.

You could also go Fairy tale again but do the top white and the skirt black to depict a two piece. I love the animal print idea – once again the mind was read!

@mcholley1 I was thinking of you, after your comment on my blog about your daughter eschewing bright colours, as I’m due to start work soon on a zebra print Fairy Tale dress! Mine is for opening night of Carnival Of The Animals where children are invited to dress up as their fav animal (I vetoed fake fyr onesies!)
A mad print like that on a Fairy…[Read more]

Ok my (one handed baby on lap) list of ideas. Fairy tale dress black with white belted bow and white collar. Fairy tale dess with white and black print (Lila Tueller springs to mind) or go spotty! I woll think of more and get back to you (when I have both hands back and can type with out error)

Very sweet! Now I know what to do with all those buttons I’ve let S buy over the years to reward her for her patience at the trim store…

I just received a text message from Imogen saying they arrived at 6pm last night, that they played “spotlight” on the beach (good thing I put my torch in for her) and that she is sharing a tent with four of the nicest girls in the class – always reassuring! So it sounds as they she is having a ball already.

@cybele we had to pay $420 for this trip and that was even with the fundraising. Imogen didn’t gives the notes from school, thinking we wouldn’t let her go. I only found out it was actually happening when I sat down to read the newsletter! Of course opportunities are few and far between for the kuds up here but even if the cost was high, that was…[Read more]

I sew random unnecessary buttons on ALL the time. For a younger child, it makes them feel like they are contributing to the design and have “buy in” and they wear it with pride. My now 6 year old will sit with me after I’ve culled the selection a bit and chooses. Pockets are a great place for decorative buttons!

OH I am sorry about Buddy. We have an older girl whom I think it is time to go, but my husband can’t do it. She’s 13 with bad arthritis and a lipoma, and these weird growths that hang off her body and bleed. She’s got cataracts and she’s getting weird. Senile, and begging incessantly. The other day, she got up on her hind legs and put her front…[Read more]

My twelve year old went off on her school trip to Ningaloo today. We had to get her to school by 5.45am to leave by 6am. That meant getting out of bed by 4.30! I was up anyway, feeding the baby. She was excited but nervous and I have to admit I had a bit of a cry when she left in the car with my husband to go to school. It is the first time she…[Read more]

Welcome Erysiphe! I love that you have told us about what you do. There are many of us who happen to be green thumbs so they may want to ask your advice on a few things. Some of us grow plants of the cropping kind (my husband is a dab hand) and with that comes soraying and all sorts. We are actually researching how to get the soil in a healthier…[Read more]

@erysiphe well that’s maybe slightly better than what I was immediately reminded of: Swine Erysipelas. Disease of pigs caused by Erysipelothrix bacterium.
Perhaps we can invent the Greek muse of sewing AND powdery mildew and call her Erysiphe.
Welcome!

It turns out I only needed to make three pairs of shorts for camp. The third of which were finished this afternoon! She’s all packed ready to leave at sparrows!
