CAUTION TO THE HOME SEWING COMMUNITY AND ETSY MARKETS:
YOUR NEXT ON THE DANCE CARD FOR THE FASHION INCUBATOR – MIGHT WANT TO WATCH YOUR TOES and your backs….
After 4 years as a member of the Fashion-Incubator.com forum (paying member, regardless of the mention that only one person has paid), I’m leaving it for [...]

I LOVE SLOBOKAN and his new web design for my site!!!
I know it’s easier on my eyes – just like he is …. now how cute is that, it even does emoticons!
Not to mention it’s my favorite shade of blue in the title bar! He’s so awesome! {{{{SLO}}}}
What do ya’ll think [...]

Since summer, I’ve debated splitting my software out onto an old laptop and letting the kids use my desktop system solely. Last month, Mom was saying how she wanted to save for a new computer, I offered her this laptop, instead of spending money on a computer she would use only for internet and [...]

I was just perusing the Digital History archive in search of primary source documents written by children, when I ran into this quote:
ANNA GREEN WINSLOW
Heroines may not distinguish themselves at the head of an Army, but freedom [will] be won by a fighting army of amazons…armed with spinning wheels.
I read this right after reading [...]

Remember the ole’ Pueblo Colorado free booklets from the government? When we were teenagers, Slo and I both would write away for the free publications from the government. It made for cheap – fun reading. Now, they are online! Who Knew? If you like reading them too, here is the [...]

I added the TimeLine_Index.pdf
to the mix. It’s here if you want it. (9 pp. – 146k)
The Index is just a paper form of Timelineindex.com’s Period pages, meant as an aid to show the kids how history is divided up amongs different groups for ‘dealing’ with history [...]

After alot of procrastination, I finally got the timeline journal pages ready for the kids to start pasting things down. It took awhile to come to grips with exactly how I was going to lay it out for them. Finally, deciding on personal timeline journals, I made the blank page I showed you [...]

I thought I’d share this timeline paper.jpg I created tonight. You can punch it on the top side or the left side. I’m using Paint.NET v3.35 software to create it, and it shows that it’s 8.5 x 11 (landscape orientation) so hopefully it will print to that size for ya’ll.
If you have a [...]

Clip Art Galleries and various templates, designed as OxygenOffice extras, have been added to the extensions page for Open Office users to download. I downloaded it – and – oh – my! I can’t tell you how relieved and excited I was to find it!
The gallery has blackline maps, historical maps, continents, countries, [...]

The Kids started back to school on Monday. They were soooo excited that by 11pm, still wide awake with nerves, we let them come downstairs into the classroom and at least peek at their new supplies and check out the room. Slobo took pics for me the next morning, but since I’m [...]

I put this under Academia, because the American people urgently need to know what our lovely Congress has done to us, yet again!
On Saturday, Harry Reed called a special session of the Senate to vote on this bill. Within a moment of opening the session, he called for cloture vote on it. [...]

The last few weeks have been really busy. With the kids starting back to school at the end of the month, I’ve been in a rush to try and get loose ends sewn up in the sewing room. I’ve had fabric to make myself some clothes from for two years but just kept [...]

I ran into this book, Yardsticks: Children in the Classroom Ages 4-14 : A Resource for Parents and Teachers (Paperback), by Chip Wood sitting by itself on a clearance table. After perusing the 8 yr. old section, I figured it was cheap enough that it couldn’t hurt to buy it. Now, I [...]

I’m not sure this is what a friend on the necchi list is looking for, but here are pics of the accessory box (put together from two different machines)
Top Tray:

The top tray cams are:
Buttonhole Cams x 2
III (loop-de-loop design sort of heart shaped at the loops), IV (zigzag), V (scallop design), VI ( |__|__|__| [...]

Here is the Instructional Manual for Consew 225. Changing stitch lengths on page 5.

Maybe I’m feeling nostalgic because our town has recently undergone a population explosion, from 2k to over 4k in 5 years, but I thought it would be fun to give a little history of the building row where my lovely Consew came from.
The nearest town to us, where this street is located, [...]

Merriam-Webster has a new visual dictionary. Okay, new to me. It was introduced to the public in November of 2007.
You can look for a word from their index of themes and see a picture of it’s use. It is really neat! Now I know what a pipe threader [...]

A coloring page / writing paper generator link came across one of the third grade newsgroups, thought someone else might like it as well. I’m going to give the kids each a coloring/writing sheet page to help spur some creative story writing. Ya’ll might find a similar use for it.
