definitely not scary monsters then if they leave new clothes!

The other day my seven year old kissed her daddy on the top of the head and said:
“I’m going to kiss you on the top of your head every day when you are bald!”

For the record my husband has a full head of thick hair! (and so does his father who is almost 70!)
Darcy Struble replied to the topic Little Layette in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

I do have the puppet show, @motherof5! Yes I’ll definitely try that! The hide and seek would be adorable too! What color do you think? I’m so inexperienced at sewing for boys! Give me baby girl and I’m golden but I’m still learning to get my creative juices flowing for little boy things! Hopefully this nephew will help things along 😉

Oh that sounds amazing! Tomato season is coming!!
Darcy Struble started the topic Little Layette in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

I can’t help but think when I’m sewing the little layette (and I’m sewing it A LOT right now as almost all of my friends are having babies by the end of the summer) that it feels like a modern heirloom (contradiction, I know).

I’m making the bodysuit in a batiste which automatically makes it feel special and on certain ones I have been adding…[Read more]
Darcy Struble started the topic Vegetarian Lunch Options in the forum Cooking and Baking 10 years ago

So I’ll start out by saying that we are not vegetarian but we don’t cook much meat in our house. We buy meat maybe once a month, maybe less. Although we do buy fish a little more than that. But anyway, we eat a plant based diet.

The hardest meal to go more vegetarian is lunch, what with sandwiches that are heavy in meat and such. So I thought…[Read more]

@roundtheworldgirl, what a bummer! My husband says the same thing happens to him with all melons, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew… He still eats a little in the summer though.

@motherof5, we are hoping to build a hot house (glass house) next spring. We just moved into a new house so inside projects are being done this year and outdoor…[Read more]

Oh, eggplant. I miss it! I loved it until I suddenly became allergic to it after my son was born. It’s been two years and it still makes my whole mouth itch when I eat it (and my hands if I cook with it). I deal with the discomfort for the occasional mouthful of baba ghanoush but eggplant parmesan is out 🙁

We had steak, sweet potatoes and…[Read more]
Darcy Struble replied to the topic Cute things kids say or do in the forum off topic 10 years ago

These are so cute!

I have a sewing one 🙂 I usually finish up sewing at night and then put the new garments outside her door and one morning she woke up and found them just outside her door and said “Mommy, the monsters made me clothes!”

That one cracked me up. It has now changed from monsters making it, to mermaids, to daddy. Oh well! One day…[Read more]

Oh, perfect pattern and costume combo!
Darcy Struble replied to the topic Disney costumes for almost 3 year old? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

We are going in September to disney world! I don’t have tons of ideas for boys. I like the sailboat pattern for Mickey and you can make tons of disney shirts with the school bus. Or you could do a gaston costume out of the parachute polo pattern. The main part in red with a yellow collar and black pants (art museum maybe) any black pants really…[Read more]
cybele727 replied to the topic Tips for fabric shopping in New York in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Mood is awesome BUT overwhelming. Go prepared with an idea of fabric types in mind. If you have patterns in mind, know the yardage for various widths.

Also, don’t be shocked if you see someone “famous”. When I was there last June, I saw Vera Wang. I saw this very elegant Asian woman blow in with two or three assistants discussing what she was…[Read more]

Mmmmmm eggplant! I tried to grow it last year and failed :/ is it a fall thing? I tried growing it in the summer!

Sarvi, our farmer’s market opens this weekend and I’m sooooo excited for some local eggs! I totally agree, supermarket eggs leave a lot to be desired!

THAT’S it, Nicole! Mwwwah! (Xoxo) I needed to notch that stitching line. That was the missing puzzle piece in my head. See…. I knew I was out of practice! 😉

Thanks girlies! On my mobile too. We are on the road this week and next (Carm’s teaching a Singer Featherweight Maintenance Class in our old hometown) but will finish when I get…[Read more]
