Thanks ladies! I haven’t started the sewing yet. I pulled out the blue “love” fairytale dress last night to see if it would still fit but I was met with grumpy preteen sounds. Just trying to save time when it all seems to be rushing and there never seems to be enough time inbetween the millions of things that have to be done (even though…[Read more]

Nothing to add, but that I’m applauding Todd for his rhyme. Nice one.

Making costumes for free is such fun
But the moment that I have begun
I wish that I hadn’t
Because I’m a pedant
For the direction, the faux fur, will run.

Christmas is five weeks away

Tamara, I am sorry for your loss.

Helen, good luck with your sewing. You will love the Lullaby. We had a day out yesterday and Trixie is very unsettled so I am hand sewing with a baby on my boob.

It really is Becky.
I have to admit I made a mistake in my first version as I assumed I knew what I was doing (blush).
I have a soft spot for this dress, I look forward to seeing your version.

University is the place of higher learning at which you earn your degree (or not 😉 )
As per Sarvi there are schools for each area: Law school, veterinary science etc.
College is the hall of residence that you can choose to live at if you’re from out of town.
This may, or may not have been typed from the loo….

🙂 I love that feeling too Becky.
You can’t envisage where you’re going but you trust the instructions and it just works. The Croquet dress was definitely one of those for me.

Hmm… that link doesn’t work.

Do you see a ‘trash’ button, cybele? I dumped the one blank post for you. I think you just need to resize your image and re-upload, or else you can host it on flickr and link to that image.

I think like so? Sorry, didn’t have a sewing related pic in the first page of my flickr results and didn’t want to do the endless scroll thing. Max file…[Read more]

The school I went to is called a university, and within it are schools, grouped by discipline. So it’s the University of X, and has the Y Dental School, the Z Business School, etc. I think that’s common in the US, but don’t know if it’s standard. My Uk friends seem to have gone to Universities with colleges within them, but you can study for…[Read more]

Sewing for a funeral. Just a top of some sort for me to go with the knit skirt I have already and I am hoping I get time to do something for the kids.

I hate funeral preparation the week is always so busy and I have had it with busy weeks full of interruptions.

Oh yes he did thanks Nicole. Who said it took a week? More like a day.

I spent the week running around after kids – 4and a half hours at the doctor’s waiting for my 10.30 am appointment just to get medication for a recurring cough. Then a trip to the hospital with the other one to get meds for an infection because we had no doctor available.
