Some days, the only other person that I might see is my DH when he gets home from work in the evenings. However, I'm able to purge some of our clutter and sew to my heart's content. I still like sewing classes for the socialization. Your jacket looks really cute. Maybe some under the collar snaps instead of buttons. You really did a nice job matching your plaid. The new Threads magazine (DEC-JAN) has a great article on matching plaids. Perhaps yours was an uneven plaid. Great work though. Happy Stitching!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33406737.post-87718566375778028942007-11-10T15:59:00.000-06:002007-11-10T15:59:00.000-06:00Hi Lori,I often say I would go back in time in a f...Hi Lori,<BR/>I often say I would go back in time in a flash to those days where I had to pee with a child sitting on my lap many days LOL! TMI but I bet you can relate. And I had 4 girls also, so I know the noise they create. It's a different noise from boys as I've learned to my surprise. I raised my kids in that era that believed that you shouldn't impose gender bias'es on your kids. Boys and girls if raised the same would grow up to have broader options and a better sense of self. Well I learned to my surprise that they are NOT the same from the day they are born, even as infants boys are waaayyyy different from girls. It still amazes me and I recall seeing a documentary once where they showed an experiment with 6 week old babies. I'll tell you about it if you want to hear it - send me an email off list. <BR/>So my point is (and there is a point LOL) YES you will wish those noisy hectic days back in a minute some day, even though you enjoy the grandchildren, you'd still go back to the noisy, demanding but so rewarding days of intense parenthood. I guarantee it!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33406737.post-19083445495372900292007-11-10T11:12:00.000-06:002007-11-10T11:12:00.000-06:00I have an only child who is 8 1/2 years old. Now ...I have an only child who is 8 1/2 years old. Now that he is old enough to go over to a friend's house after school... I find that I miss his companionship the hour or so before dinner is served. Then dinner is on the table and the three of us are together for the rest of the evening. It's funny though... wen bedtime comes... I'm ready for a break!sister sherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825231117150295794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33406737.post-881105871658532392007-11-10T02:29:00.000-06:002007-11-10T02:29:00.000-06:00Lori, I SO know what you mean.
