I did get some sewing time in this week – a Bess dress & a tee for me, but aren’t feeling the vibe today.

As for Christmas sewing – I don’t have much planned, but I do want to make up some tote bags for teachers’ presents (although no biggie if I fail on this – they all get a tin full of caramel slice and one of my mum’s gorgeous felt Xmas…[Read more]

Fixed my profile picture! Tho it was right side up on my iPhone, it kept loading sideways when I tried uploading it here. Weird. When I emailed it to myself and opened it up on the laptop, it uploaded right side up here in the forums. I’ve no idea why, but at least it’s oriented correctly now!

I haven’t *technically* started my Christmas sewing yet, but I’ve pre-washed some lovely AMH interlock knit to make my mum a Late Lunch tunic as her present. It’s the next project after I finish these field trip cargos! Also on my Christmas sewing to-do list are: stockings for Olivia and my niece (I’m the “stocking-maker” in my family and this is…[Read more]

I’ve started my Christmas sewing, in fact I started back in September as soon as I finished the last birthday of the year. 🙂
I think I’m about half way through. One of the biggest I was sewing is Elsa’s corronation dress with cape and gloves. The dress is done but not cape or gloves. I’m not sure how I’m going to make gloves!

I say:
– crayons (2 syllables)
– soda (my husband is from Ohio and usually says ‘pop’)
– swimsuit or bathing suit

– my husband says “crick” instead of “creek”
– my mother-in-law “warshes” her dishes as opposed to washing them. Another Midwest-ism, I think.

How do you say “roof” and “mirror”? For me:
– ‘roof’ pronounced “rufe”
– ‘mirror’ has two…[Read more]

Swimsuit or bathing suit for swimming, crayons for coloring, and I think I’ll avoid saying ‘dag’ until I’ve spotted it in the wild a few more times, I don’t want to inadvertently offend.

It’s interesting the way meanings change over time, too. Both geek and punk were once things you’d never want to call yourself.
