@sahmcolorado – yes, western Massachusetts is totally different from Bostonian English! We eat a sub for lunch, get our liquor at the packy, and my parents (really old-school Bostonian) drink tonic – they call any carbonated beverage (Coke, ginger ale, etc) tonic.

I moved to SoCal and had a job where I was on the radio and broadcast across the…[Read more]

It’s a little over the top but I love the combination and juxtaposition of the swirl skort and art Museum Vest. The matching vest was my husbands idea 🙂

Ah, so it’s like a Subway. I would call it a salad roll, depending on what’s in it. 🙂

Don’t you remember the Keymaster and the Gatekeeper from Ghostbusters?

I love the charger holder and the socks! One boy In particular I think would love the socks, especially as they would fit, once I up size them for his (currently!) size 13 feet (size 14.5 in North America) 🙂
Thanks for these great ideas 🙂

What’s a grinder? Is it a sandwich? Because in Australia its a power tool! Normally an angle grinder, not so good to eat 🙂
Oh, and the three meals a day are breakfast, lunch and tea. Although tea and dinner in this context are interchangeable. Supper is a light snack before bed!

Thanks Nicole! And Sarvi, I think you may know me too well;)

A few years ago I made fleece slipper socks for everyone in our extended family. The men and boys loved them and have asked frequently since then if they can have a new pair.

I bought the pattern at Joanns but it can also be purchased online here. They’re the Polar Socks for adults and kids.

Ah, I see we have a Limerick newbie who’s not familiar with the form. Here’s a sciencey example:

There once was a young lady named bright
Whose speed was much faster than light
She set out one day
In a relative way
And returned on the previous night.

So ours above should go:

I have so many patterns already
To make clothes for Janie and…[Read more]

Hey, I’m a Keymaster?!? What the heck is that?!?

HAHA! That is hilarious! I remember having a hard time when I first went to London trying to get some uneaten food packed up at a restaurant. I asked to have it to go, then asked for carry out. I was down to miming that I wanted to eat the food I had paid for at another time and location and did not want to simply dump it into a napkin. Finally an…[Read more]
