I overheard a teenager admit not knowing how to get around they're home town of umpteen years, they just need an address to plug into their GPS! How sad, so many adventures gone undiscovered. Turn off the garmin and the dvd player, get off your phone, quit texting and look out the window!Zoo Keeperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05245985495847227656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917080169174419514.post-1191123314981837212009-03-01T16:01:40.796-07:002009-03-01T16:01:40.796-07:00i just DARNED a hole in my sock today! partly because of your post and partly because the BRAND new socks i had only worn once, you're not making me waste moeny on new socks. and it felt good to make something broken whole again. teaching my kids we don't have be such a disposable society. that being said my third trimester has brought on a fierce need to nest and with no rooms to nest i'm clearing out. perhaps i can make the most of this opportunity and really make an effort to see what we can recycle and pass along rather than the easy THROW AWAY!<BR/>as for sewing clothes, my mother did a lot of that. as a sewer myself, i find clothes rather a daunting task, especially when there are cute affordable things out there that you can buy for less than what it would cost for materials. but i am all about the accessories and have made coordinating wraps for outfits on numerous occasions! adding my personal touch ;-)farahttp://www.faldesign.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917080169174419514.post-31708676567850438442009-02-27T16:02:06.493-07:002009-02-27T16:02:06.493-07:00I love this, Wendy! I'm completely addicted to sewing these days and also hope to pass down some "basics" to Lenja. That said, she also helps me make Kransekake, a traditional Norwegian celebratory cake for Christimas, b-days and other holidays. She enjoys baking, but this is extra special since it's a tradition of ours. And she looooves tea (decaf of course) already, which is nice b/c it's a more "traditional" beverage that is not riddled with sugar and offers good sit-down "tea party" options for chatting with my girl.Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05836197220200251297noreply@blogger.com
