    I am so very sorry for your loss Jay and I think of you often Masha.

  • Armenians and Iranians are very very similar! I am quite sure I’ve seen some of those picnics 🙂

  • Oh, everyone’s plans sound so nice! Don’t worry about the rain, I’m sure the bubbly will be it’s own kind of sunshine 🙂

    Thanks for the idea about including some swim gear, that’ll work great for us!

  • What’s everyone doing for the holidays? Spring break is here or nearly here, Easter and Passover (I think? I’m an atheist so I apologize if I’ve got it wrong) are on their way, and Persian New Year just passed.

    We went out for the traditional Persian ‘outdoor thirteen’ picnic, two weeks after the Spring equinox, albeit by accident. My birthday…[Read more]

    Wishing you peace in your heart, Jay. Loss of a peer is so difficult in its own way, and to lose a beloved friend is even harder.

    It just goes to show that even online stores are run by humans!

    I am knitting tonight – third time lucky!

    In the sewing basket I have still got those shirts. I need to complete the easter bunny pj’s for Chloe and then I need to do a pretty puppet show dress NEED TO!

    Then I will make something adult sized and nursing friendly.

    That’s this week!…[Read more]

    Oh Jay I’m so sorry for your loss! It is so very hard to see someone you love so much slip away due to such a horrible disease as cancer. Having seen my fil go from a fit man in his late 70’s to a frail old man looking 90 in just six months was enough. I completely understand the enormity of your grief having seen it first hand myself.

  • I’ve had a fabric.com order fail to arrive. They promptly reshipped it. Another had the wrong fabric in it. They quickly sent the correct fabric and let me keep the other stuff. I would count as one of the “did not complain” customers, but gee that’s a bad business model they’ve got going on.
    @motherof5 that would be a great use of that wool.…[Read more]

  • Oh that is great news! There are little people popping up everywhere here at the moment so the baby boy born just this morning might actually get a special gift using the newest boy pattern!

    Its a sad and stressful time for you right now Jenny and that means its all the more important to take some “me” time. Is there a way of setting up the machine to sew something small? Just to let your soul take a breath? Get the needle and thread out and handstitch something maybe?

    It is just so important to take some time out. This is why we…[Read more]

    Actually I can show you all four of those elements in EZ’s work — but as I noted, she can be a bit of an acquired taste, and really, there’s no need to push her onto anybody who’s said they’re not interested. Her legacy’s rock solid and not going anywhere.

    But! It sounds like you have a good sense of what you want and perhaps just needed a bit…[Read more]

    Zara would like a Moto jacket next time, I am so excited to sew it. I really enjoyed making Hugo’s coat and she wants that wool or the piece Shelley McStitch sent me.

    Oh Jenny! I am a bit lost for words as to what to say. Its alot you’ve gone through – virtual hugs to you. Take a deep breath and hopfully you can get sewing soon (I completely understand the need to sew to keep even).
