@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]

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 11 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]

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]
April Henry replied to the topic Garden Party Notches for larger sizes in the forum oliver + s: garden party 11 years ago

Thanks, Liesl and Nicole!

Sounds good… just so I am clear, though, I don’t stitch on the area between the dots but on the stitching line I transfer from the pattern piece (even though the illustrations in the instructions show a stitching line on the area between the dots)?

Also, what do I do about the 3rd notch that’s in the illustrations…[Read more]
Sarvi replied to the topic Disney costumes for almost 3 year old? in the forum off topic 11 years ago

How about the Art Museum trousers, with a shiny stripe down the side, and an oversized Sketchbook shirt with the stand collar option and lots of length added, then add on the bits of gold trim. In the right fabric it might read like a coat?

If I had eggs like those, really fresh, I bet I’d eat loads of them. Supermarket eggs are really sad specimens. Pale yolks, shells barely there. I splurged on proper eggs from the farmer’s market today. Had to queue for them!

Moussaka sounds fab.

Oh, very good point. Habu is a bit like that. The long-suffering non-crafting friend who went with me referred to it as a ‘yarn speakeasy’ 🙂
