I didn’t really have a choice on the bag Heidi as it was the last day of school yesterday it was imperative or the recipient would have gone without her gift. I was going to make some decorated hair accessories but I just didn’t have the time. As it was the hour at night after the kids were in bed and the husband was showered (yes I have to help…[Read more]

Oh, I’m glad you figured it out! Thanks for letting us know.

Wow Tamara, I’m impressed you found some time to sew! I hope you can work out the shirts and velcro, the side opening velcro pants I made my niece when she was in leg casts worked very well.

All this sewing so fantastic! Everyone is very productive at the moment which is pretty great!

I actually made something last night. It was a gift for Noah’s Secret Santa at school. They were studying recycling as part of their unit and so the gift had to be made from recycled products. What better than a size 6 pair of jeans I had in the upcycle…[Read more]

I put the last messenger bag aside and made myself shorts! I only had 2 pairs And wanted to wear them 3 days running, so instead of doing the washing I found some lovely dark green and made another pair of Colette Iris Shorts. I’m so glad I spend a whole weekend sorting out the fit of this pattern last summer because I could choose my fabric,…[Read more]

Free dress day at school tomorrow marking the end of the school year. I received the reports for my children today and was thrilled to see such an improvement in marks especially from Noah. He got the award for the highest mark in Humanities and Social Science. Very very proud of my boy. He’s matured so much this year. The only disappointment was…[Read more]

No you are not bronging the thread down, total honesty is what I read in your message. It can be very difficult to stay focussed on the positive when things get very tough and I do like your motto, a very good one to abide by I think.

We practise affirmations and visualisations at home and it has helped us enormously. Yet we are all human and we…[Read more]

I typically try to focus on the positive, even if the best I can muster is, ‘however hard I have it somebody else for sure has it much worse.’ I remember losing sleep and having awful anxiety about nuclear war as a kid. Just want to preserve my child’s innocence for as long as I can, heaven knows it won’t last forever. Sorry to bring the thread…[Read more]

@sarvi I saw this on the news as I woke up this morning and thought of you! I don’t know many people in that area of the world.

I too sincerely hope it is a hoax but in this day and age we have nothing left but to be alert all. the. time and it is quite exhausting. No one wants to be scared all the time (it is hard enough when you suffer from…[Read more]

@sarvi that song makes me cry even on a good day. I saw that the LAUSD head was getting criticized for the closures – I’m glad he did it. Our kids live in a jacked up world. I get tired of trying to tell my kid why people are sleeping in the street, and why we just bought a bunch of gifts for a 3 year old who was homeless but now has a home and…[Read more]

Thank you, Nicole. After recent events nearby it’s really chilling. The contrast between the sweetness of the sentiment in the song, sung in a small child’s voice, and the sometimes-darkness of the adult world is hard to bear right now.
