I actually like Robert Pattinson.  I don't think any of those boys are hot bc they're, well, boys.  Robert looks unkempt outside of the movie, but Kristin always has a sneer, so whatever.    Jacob looks like a boy.  Robert & Kristin have good chemistry on screen.  Funny sidenote: I just read yesterday that Pattinson played Cedrick Diggory in Harry Potter!  

Well, I survived the movie, it was suprisingly a lot better than the first one, I think because there was much less Edward/Robert Pattison (who despite there being a new director is still a terrible actor).  But anyhow.  It was more enjoyable than I thought it was going to be and not only did we get the tickets for free, but they gave us gift cards on the way out.  Score.

He IS a boy!  He's only 17!  That's 10 years younger than me!  YIKES!


Just finished going through TONS of Q's old baby clothes and stuff... kept some, but getting rid of most of it... (no, I am not going to wait, in case it turns out she's a he...) I can't believe how much stuff I kept (and I even got rid of stuff before I bagged all this stuff up)... I have 4 of the XL ziplock big bags to give away (sizes 0-18 mos).  Now I am thoroughly exhausted.  Going to run some errands and then hoping to do a little sewing later this afternoon.

Okay, I skimmed through all I've missed and what caught my eye the most was "hairy butt" LOL LOL LOL!

Cloud necklaces are cute! Cowls will be done sometime next week or the week after. Perfect for Christmas!

There are people I'm supposed to be getting back to. I'm really really busy. If I haven't answered your PM I promise I will later. Right now I'm running 30 minutes late to my 3 hour lecture thanks to my lovely husband.  He's in twubble. (as my 2 year old would say.)

Would there be any interest in Peas on Earth cards? I'm making a batch tomorrow and can make some extra if there is interest



And talking of hairy men...everyone in my bloke's office are growing beards for December! I can't imagine some of them will get beyond 'bum fluff'!

I'm closing down my shop for this round, and for the foreseeable future  I still have to spend down my points though and of course I'll still be around for chatter, but I just wanted to let you guys know that my hot goods are off the market (literally and figuratively haha).

This reminds me of last time I was at home visiting my parents - we were driving on the motorway somewhere and every overpass for about 2 miles had "PEAS" spray painted on it.  I could only figure the tagger was going for peace!

re: sheers; Yes, an all-sheer dress with no waist seam would be easiest.  It would need to be in a poly sheer, though, since silk sheers are usually only 45" wide and bias-cut dresses usually need 60" wide fabrics.  I do have that bias cowl top pattern and have made it before.  Poly chiffons tend to be a little stiffer than silk, but less easily damaged and are available in lots of colors and prints (or probably even sparkle glitter if you are into that kind of thing).

I personally wouldn't mind one either! I think it would be super pretty. Though I'd be down with a knit or a sheer if it wasn't to pricey. Whatever is less expensive and does the job. though I'd need it to be a bit shorter than the mannequin was wearing in the example.
So that's 2 of us now! lol

Greg would FLIP for sparkle glitter! I, on the other hand, prefer elegant. So maybe I need two of these things?   Heading over to pm you, ptarmic.
