LOL That varies from child to child. For example, # 1 son became human after he joined the Navy. # 2 son, who is now 34, still isn't. As a general rule, they become human when they grow up, which takes time, and usually involves them leaving home.

Yup, mostly my own designs. Nothing written down either, so no use asking! :) I take inspiration from wherever I can find it; photos, RTW things, patterns, knitting patterns, different textures. Wherever, whenever; mostly while I'm driving, it seems. Very strange, that.

It was Colour Rays in the fuschia colour. It's marked with a warning that it's for darker hair. My girl's was medium brown, the friend's was light brown. My girl's is just perfect bright pink, while her friend's is rather flourescent. There's a LOT in it; perhaps you can take a little snip, or do a stripe on the nape that can be hidden underneath, to make sure it won't be too bright to have on top. That's what we did; she's got several stripes on the nape that can only be seen when she wears her hair up, and her chin-length bang is pink. One hint; if it touches an eyebrow, wipe it off immediately! (don't ask how I know...let's just say the friend has a small polka dot)

ROTFL!!! I'll have to discuss that with Kandace's mother. I know that Kandace herself would be thrilled to bits.

Tis only hair...can be cut and will grow. You *could* just do the bottom couple of inches of her hair around her head rather than all the way from root to tip....easy to hide in a wrapped bun, or in a ponytail with the ends caught in the elastic and wrap a scarf around it. Or just chop it off.

Hmmm, maybe later:>)

LOL Donna hang in there you have about 4 years to go!(LOL)
My girls are acceptable adults too. Now that they've caught up to their hormones!!(LOL)
Yea it's so neat to see everything everyone is involved in! There are even some crafts I've never heard of before!
Oh that would be so great. But where would I buy a sheep?

I went on a "Have you any wool" course where we were taught how to make things with wool that just was not wearable. It was based on the book by Jan Messant. We were taught to look at things around us and get inspiration from that.
Also I did a weekend workshop with Kaffe Fassett, that was very inspiring. Shirley
>It's actually not difficult, but is a bit fiddly until you work out your own best way to hold the "broomstick" (or in my case a 15mm or 20mm knitting needle) along with the crochet hook. Once you've got that sorted it's great and grows quite quickly. I made ponchos for Christmas 2004 for DDs 1 & 2 and Ds's girl friend. The sort that are 2 rectangles joined at right angles to each other. I put a simple crochet neck band on them, and they went down really well. Give it a go, you'll enjoy it Love & higs Christine PS another fibre technique junkie huh? Me too: I'm Christine and I'm a fibre technique addict (and I'm nowhere near ready to give up yet!!)
In my experience Donna for boys it's about 17 to 18, and for girls you're talking about roughly 18 to 19 ( or with either it's when they leave home and realise just how much you did for them!!) Love & higs Christine
True. I remember when my oldest DD was messing around with colouring her hair. She would lie and tell me that it was just lemon juice and sun. I told her that, if she wasn't careful, she would end up losing her hair. Well, after her cancer episode (when she was 14), she reminded me of that. We were able to laugh at it, but ever since, I have realized the silliness of getting upset about hair.

Just let me know.
Higs, Kather> Hmmm, maybe later:>)
This is so fascinating to read what everyone is doing. It is also a relief - I'm not the only one who seems to try everything.
Currently I'm into quilting, crocheting, beading. At various times in the past I have done macrame, counted cross stitch, sewing, water color, knitting, quilling. I have a current fascination with fused glass but I haven't got up enough nerve to invest in a kiln.
I would love to meet him! I love his attitude with colors!:>)
LOL That last statement is sure true! Also, if they have younger cousins who are going through the attitude stage, that will even spark an apology sometimes:>)
What an encouraging message about woodworking, Jane. I have saved it to read through again later. Good for you, remodeling your kitchen by yourself... that's great! :o)
