Aug 28th, 2008 | By Gidget | Category: Academia, Free Patterns, Homeschool

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 [...]



Timeline Template

Aug 27th, 2008 | By Gidget | Category: Academia, Free Patterns, Homeschool

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 [...]



Timeline Paper

Aug 23rd, 2008 | By Gidget | Category: Academia, Free Patterns, Homeschool

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 [...]



New Stuffr Version

Jul 18th, 2008 | By Gidget | Category: Blogroll, Coffee Klatch, Free Patterns

Slobo has updated his Stuffr! program. Stuffr is a blogging tool. Rather like a dispatcher center on jet fuel.
It now has larger text (which I personally appreciate), a cleaner interface and a couple new gizmos. He’s also removed Twitter support for now.
If you have it or want to get it, [...]



New Version of Cargo Pocket Up!

Jul 17th, 2008 | By Gidget | Category: Free Patterns

I deconstructed my husband’s worn-out cargo shorts to get this pattern over a year ago. My sons have shorts that are similar with and without tucks in various places. Yet, it wasn’t until now that I found the time and a great program to draw them up in.
The instructions are a best guess [...]

If you are not familiar with Stuffr, it allows you to make blog entries and type messages faster and easier than logging in and navigating through several application screens.
From one screen, you can update however many blogs you have (including [...]



Slobo’s Pod

Feb 20th, 2008 | By Gidget | Category: Free Patterns, Holidays, Sewing

For Valentine’s Day, I made Slobo a bean bag for his IPOD. Since he got his new video IPOD, every night he would lay in bed, Video IPOD on belly, and comment …. “*sigh* sure wish I had a bean bag for my IPOD”….. Okay, so VDay comes along and of course, had [...]

Relief For Your Pains In the Neck

Jul 25th, 2007 | By Gidget | Category: Free Patterns, Just fun

I had to take a break from knitting the shapely T and use some other muscles. So, I decided the new truck needed some seatbelt cozies. Color matched! These work up really fast which helps the - ‘I need a finished project like right now!’ syndrome.
Crochet hook size: H
Yarn: 1 skein [...]



Christmas Presents

Jul 18th, 2007 | By Gidget | Category: Free Patterns, knitting

Yes, being a slow knitter, I’ve started working on Christmas presents. My sister’s shapely tee is coming along at about 8″ of length on the front. I decided to frog the brown alpaca yarn and just make the white one. The alpaca was driving my allergies crazy, so I’ll save that [...]
