When you all talk about Hancock's, are you talking about Hancock's of Padukah? If not I love that 2nd site.

For those who are looking at Brother machines, I had a Brother and a White, both around 100 bucks and I loved them both. Then I got a Brother that had more stuff on it.

I really like that! Very 'Edward Gorey" : A is for Amy who fell down the stairs; B is for Basil assaulted by bears....C....you gotta check it out. The Ghastly Crumb Tinies by Edward Gorey.

Maybe your kid was studying him?!

I'll have to check that out - I'm really not a poetry person so this one took me by surprise for sure, I was amazed he thought up all that and even included a line to exuse his bad handwriting

Very Shel Silversteinish too.

Was at the mom-in-laws today and she is making me a table runner, think I have her sweet talked into letting me use her machine...
It makes doilies that look like they have been hand crocheted. She thinks its cool I'm doing this.

You guys have been so BUSY - lovely work ALL of you!!

I've been doing things other than sitting on the computer

I made PANTS today, we all got a new pair of nice snuggly fleece pants - of couse the kids ones were worn already and are full of hay - they were climbing on the hay bales this afternoon.

I just squeeked out enough out of the fabric I bought - 5 yards of fleece and I made my hubby a pair, me a pair and my son a pair... my daughter got a pair made out of an old fleece blanket (hello kitty) I bought 3 yards of flannel for some more for ME ME ME! (I never make stuff for myself) anyway - not bad for $37, 3 pairs of fleece pants, and I'm thinking I'll get at least 2 pairs out of the 3 yards of flannel.

My sewing room is a MESS

I used three different patterns, one for the kids, and one for each hubby and I - I'll look at which they were - the kids ones were based on a quick-sew PJ set I believe. Mine are mens

worked just fine, I did have to make the legs a little narrower, I don't like baggy pants
