Wow. This sounds wonderful. I hope it works out for you.

We’ve gone from a balmy 60 to expecting some light wet snow over a 72 hour period. This is the way of our fall.

Our meeting went well with the principal. Our daughter is being switched after winter break. I’m even more certain after she said some offhand things in the car today. It…[Read more]

We’re currently living in Columbus Ohio having moved here earlier in the year from Australia. While it’s really cold outside the house is very warm and my daughter finds flannelette much too warm, she just doesn’t seem to get cold. We’re going to be in NYC for Xmas too and I’m planning to just pack knit pjs.

Me too, it’s so cozy!

New York winters can get COLD — but homes are often heated pretty warmly to make up for it. Can you ask the host? Flannel(ette) or interlock should work fine.

Gosh, what a crazy year for weather it’s shaping up to be! Here in LA it’s so dry all the kids are getting nosebleeds, and yet we’re on track to have epic storms. So weird!

On a non-school-related note, what the heck is up with the heat wave in Sydney! Is that normal for this time of year?

Oh no, what a lot of work! It’s tricky sewing at night, isn’t it? Cutting at night is always chancy for me — what looks good together under fluorescents can look a bit funky under daylight.

Oh dear I am sorry. Another loss. I am sorry.

And you don’t sound like a total snob. I think we all want better or more for our children. I think that’s part of my issue. I want my daughter (and son) to believe that they can become anything if they have the skill and their genders don’t limit them.

We all try to do what is best for our…[Read more]

Oh, I wish I’d thought to do that — I just winged it. They’re for free dress day at school so I expect them to come home in tatters.

I am sorry for Murray’s loss. And you are embarking on an exciting time. A part of me simply cannot imagine sending a child to boarding school and another part of me is all…sign me up!! 🙂 Depends on how tired I am suppose.

We are definitely on the front of this issue. This teacher is a 20 year veteran and all we heard was, “Oh you will…[Read more]

I live near Buffalo, NY. ( btw- it was 62 today- no snow!!- last year towns to the south of us got 7 feet in 10 hours. )

Generally I think a teacher putting make up on Kindergarteners is bad.

We also live in a super diverse area in every way you can imagine. Poverty to million dollar homes. Skin tone of every shade. 40 home languages. Name…[Read more]

Matching across the front and back crotch isn’t too hard, it’s the A line side seams that would be nasty to match.
I straightened the side seams to vertical for my Gaultier tartan pair.
