Better pictures of Rachel’s dress

Friday, May 26th, 2006

I got these from Rachel a few weeks ago. The only problem I see with the dress is that there is something going on with the tension on my machine. You can see that the seams going down the gussets on the skirt look a little “pickled”. They should be perfectly flat. [...]

ASG competition outfit

Friday, May 26th, 2006

Well, I’ve officially entered the American Sewing Guild Creativity Contest. I entered the “most interesting wardrobe” category. My concept was to create 2 outfits around one top for easy change from daywear to a night out. I’m extremely casual so the “evening wear” outfit is about as dressed up as I ever [...]

Apparently I am now the ODOR POLICE

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

I had a message on my answering machine yesterday from The Men’s Wharehouse. They said there was a strange odor coming from their back room and could I come and fix it?

A conversation with my list

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

I say: “You do not own me. I am not defined by your size. I will not be drawn into your little tantrums about who comes first or how much attention you need. I can be more than you make me into. Go away.”
My list says: “You will do what [...]

What I will do for money

Friday, May 19th, 2006

I’ve had some interested sewing jobs pop up lately. One was a lady in Houston that has a children’s wear line. She was interested in me doing production work for her and sent me a sketch and fabric with the instructions to just “interpret” the sketch. No measurements or anything. [...]

Ongoing battles with the House Monster

Friday, May 19th, 2006

The house monster has a strange and varied appetite of things it likes to put in its belly. Apparently it now likes video cameras. I have, unbelievably enough, been through every box of crap that we own since moving in our new house in February. It’s no where.
The House Monster strikes again!
As [...]

apparently you CAN say penis at the park

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

At the park the other day, I found Quentin in conversation with another mom about his penis. I told Kevin about the incident and Kevin said “well, she’s a …”MOM”…apparently she’s seen a penis before”
So I guess there’s a catagory for the “when you CAN say penis” list. (see my very first post)

Summer

Wednesday, May 17th, 2006

School is getting ready to end next week.
Does someone want my children for the summer? I’m sure we could work out a great rental rate.
O.K. why is it that my children will act like perfect angels for someone else and the minute they are in my presence, they go completely phycotic? Today I [...]
