This link came across on fitsnobs (group on yahoo). Thought ya’ll might like to see it too. “It takes 12 minutes and 50 seconds to manufacture a couple of pairs of jeans” according to this site. And I wonder why I can’t get my products cut, sewn, pressed and shipped in less than 24 hours.
I’ve been playing with pattern drafting again – mainly just in my head and reading for now. I’m trying to understand how blocks are drafted and why. Please understand – I’m a total novice to all of this…. this is just for play…and probably has more to do with my being visual. Carol Kimball has [...]
For several nights, I tried to listen to Pride and Prejudice, Uncle Tom’s Cabin and Emma. Every time, I fall asleep before the first chapter is finished, I dreamed that our family were characters in each of the novels. This was rather frightening, since most of my dreams consist of task related chores like grocery [...]
My DH gave me his Creative Labs Zen a few days ago when a friend of his gave him an older IPOD. I had put it in a drawer when it suddenly dawned on me tonight, I can listen to an audio book while I knock out some needlework projects, so came the discovery of [...]
I love that saying… and today … it fits! Even tho I’d made a promise on another blog to “stop the madness” and not try and make so many gifts this year, alas, I could no longer hold out. The idea of the other blog was to spend time with loved ones and not be [...]
After making “elephant – sized” socks from crochet patterns gone awry, I decided to give knitting this pair a try. Being a southpaw, it’s not exactly like the pattern (in so many ways), but God Bless the lady that put up that website and others with videos to pause, at least it’s close. I love [...]
In hunting for sites for a history project the kids are working on, I ran into this site. If there is an archaeologist or paleontologist in your future, they might enjoy this site as much as we did. Kids Dig Reed
I ran into this pattern on crochetpatterncentral.com and decided to give it a try. It was fun to do. Accidently, I crocheted the same stitch for three rows, which made kind of a cute ruffle at each end, so I left it. It will make a great scrubber and it was fast and easy to [...]
Okay, Slobo tagged me for another meme, after his sister tagged him…. Here it is…. 5 Things in My Refrigerator: He said: Coca-Cola Lettuce & Tomato (for tacos) salad dressing fruit juices lunch meats The wife says: Two plastic dishes from Memorial day at my folks house. The only thing recognizeable still are the ribs. [...]
It’s interesting to peruse the patent office to get a picture of what people were like. For example, did you know that Greist (our favorite attached guy) also invented a lemon squeezer, lamps and lampshades? I didn’t until tonight. It never occurred to me to look for instructions on what attachments are inside my box [...]

In the spirit of sharing our privates… here’s mine. I know there’s alot here, but I’ve got alot of personalities to deal with. lol. The sewing station. Sergers and singers on the left on a desk. One serger holds all white, the other at this time, all black. The singer has wonderful attachments and will [...]
Danielle, over at Final Fashion recommended a really kewl site. Project Alabama spreads, cuts and hand sews to perfection – not to mention their recipes! I think I’ve gained 20 lbs. just reading them…. I’m hungry now, gotta go cook.
This was just too wierd. I was looking at Printing Center USA’s links for tools for expirementing with color and they had this color quiz on it. It’s really strange how they do that. Gidget took the free ColorQuiz.com personality test! “Hopes that ties of affection and good-fellowship w…” Click here to read the rest [...]
