Epsom Salt is a GREAT fabric softener!

No more static cling!

1 Tbls. per load and you'll never use dryer sheets again :)

Fingerless Gloves

I have wanted these gloves for a year now.  I thought they'd be great for when I'm embroidering, weaving or had stitching seams closed.  My hands can get pretty cold and all though my finger tips would still be exposed it is more coverage than if I didn't wear any.

And for Christmas Taylor surprised me with them!  I really had no idea, didn't expect it in the least!  And I love them! The gloves and my children :).  They are the greatest bunch a mom could have. The gloves do in fact help my hands and fingers from being as cold.  I'm trying to talk Taylor into gloves that do have finger holes, but not tips for when she's playing the piano.  She said she'd feel like a hobo or something, lol.  Although she did agree to give some with no fingers holes a try.

Ostrich Costume

Taylor as Omelet Ostrich

I sewed feathers onto an old t-shirt of little Greg's.

I got the feathers from Hobby Lobby and used my Walking Foot

to keep the feathers from shifting to much or the t-shirt from stretching.

For the neck and sleeves I used white feather boas (also from Hobby Lobby).

I sewed the top neck boa, but the others I used liquid stitch.

It really worked well. I was running out of time and it came in handy.

I also used the liquid stitch for the fill in feathers on the arm. The boa itself was

not quite enough and gluing the feathers in between worked out well.

Now, what do I do with an Ostrich costume?!
