What all do you do craftwise?

Whoops! "CUT" work!

Higs, Katherine

Michelle

OOO, That sounds really pretty. be sure to post a pic of it when you're done:>)

It's for her to wear to her sister's confirmation this spring, for which I am making a beautiful white-on-white cotton (DD1 has allergic skin and can't wear synthetic fabrics) dress, with a pastel-coloured patchwork border along the calf-length hem. Simple and plain but perfectly suited to my dress-hating, jeans-loving oldest girl. :) I just hope the pink stripe in her hair grows out by then! If not, it'll match the shawl she's purchased :D

Michelle

LOL Kandace had pink stripes in her hair, too, but they disappeared really quickly. She was *not* impressed, especially since the hairdresser *warned* her that they were not going to wash out.

Higs, Katherine

Thanks for the welcome. I joined some time ago but can never remember my password when I feel a reply coming on! lol Got lucky with a shot-in-the-dark this time. I've enjoyed this thread. You are a very creative and talented group. Glad you enjoyed the site. Today looks like a good day for yarn stuff. We got 4" of new snow yesterday and since it's 26 degrees this morning, I guess it's going to be around for awhile! lol Best wishes, Hazel

My son was 17 when he decided that he wanted his hair blue. I took him to the hairdresser and she said that it would be permanent but it washed out. His hair is naturally almost black so the bleach that she put on first was still there and he ended up with orange tips. Lots of people looked at me crazy when I told them that I took him but I had the same attitude that it is just hair. Lots of other things that could be worse (like his sister getting a tatoo when she went to college - Yuck!) Carol in TN PS Michelle the dresses sound lovely.

Naw, hers are from a permanent at-home drugstore kit and are showing NO signs of going anywhere. Oh well. It'll make for some interesting pictures :) Her best friend's mom and I let them share the kit, so at least they'll match; they're going to have similar dresses too(well, that's the plan right now).

Michelle

Hey! Pink stripes are the least of your worries Mom!(LOL)

Believe me, I raised 2 girls too!(LOL) But they do become human again.:>)

We still don't have any snow!:>(

Hi Jane and Jenn,

Welcome to the group, so glad you came out of lurkdom and told us all the great things that you do. Yes, we are a very diverse group as I've just finished reading all the messages here.

Now, Diane, what one of my elderly neighbor loves to do is the painted wood statues that you cut from plywood. She has done them for all the holidays and other times of the year. We have received from her three angels, three snowmen that spell JOY, a lovely witch and the pilgrams that say Happy Thanksgiving. She buys the patterns and goes from there. Just thought since you want to use power tools this would be a good way too.

Hugs, Nora in upstate NY where the wind is blowing, the sun is shining and the temperatures are dropping. We got to a high of 53 yesterday tieing the record set back in 1951.

Michelle

We have loads. Want some?

Higs, Katherine

Seriously??? Maybe I should get one for Kandace, too. What brand did you use?

Higs, Katherine

I knit, crochet, cross-stitch, and am learning to spin. Charmaine

Christine, is broomstick crochet hard? It's something I've looked at learning. Always wanting to add to my repetoire!! lol Charmaine

Hi Trish:

Just a quickie quesiton here. At approx. what age do they become "human" again....I really need to have something to look forward to. My daughter turns 17 next month!

Donna from near Niagara Falls, Canada

Gee, my daughter is quite an acceptable adult - of course, she is 43. Seriously, I didn't have any problems that I knew about after she went off to college -- now you did notice the qualification, right? Though actually, she lived at home one more summer after her first year at college and that was ok too, We actually traveled together once when she was in her early twenties and it was very nice. The boys took longer but things are great now - we enjoy each other when they visit and they live their own lives elsewhere most of the time.

Then, of course, there are the grandkids -- and I just get to enjoy them while their parents put up with the growing pains.

Old age is under-rated.
