tripping imagine a sleeping 2 or 3 foot anaconda stretched out underneath the rug which necessitated a rug stretcher be scheduled to come remove said bulge and assorted other ripples that required most of the furniture be removed to another room and that s what has inspired some cleaning actually a lot of cleaning but i wanted to pop in here with a teensy update and thank you sooooooo much for your lovely comments on my previous post thank you share this email a link to a friend opens in new window email print opens in new window print like loading other helloooo 17 february 2026 curlsnskirls 10 comments it s been a while since my last post it was a looong unusually hot humid summer here in 2025 with the usual zapping effect on my productivity what to do without expending much energy listening to an audiobook or two or maybe a season s worth so i did come slightly cooler autumnal temps immeeediately dropping below 32 f with sleet freezing rain you name it i m not gonna do more than mention the arctic blast we ve just had single digit temps for days days aren t fun but thank goodness the heating and power stayed on which is why after finally getting the last box from my moves unpacked i hope to get past the make do whilst deciding what to sew stage and settle in for whatever else is coming weather wise in march april maybe even sew something hope it s more congenial weather where you are lovelies and maaaany thanks to anyone still looking in to see if i m still around ️ ️ ️ hoar frost on living room window share this email a link to a friend opens in new window

december and january and february and march but i m still here and thinking about blogging and my fellow bloggers the fact that wordpress refuses at least 95 of the time to allow me to like a post doesn t help visibility the past couple of years have been topsy turvy with moving for an unexpectedly long stay without most of my possessions read without sewing machine fabric most of my clothes and books and now getting used to a much smaller space than my previous apartment which has involved a lot of de cluttering meanwhile i ve also been figuring out the weather shifting from the hot south back north has been very enjoyable natives i ve talked to report my first two winters were fairly mild this past winter with more ice snow was more normal so i m glad i didn t wade straight into wardrobe planning and sewing click pic to go to description amongst the perks of my current location is an indie fabric store two craft supply donation shops and a wonderful yarn shop between them all i ve gotten some lovely yarns and fabrics and have done quite a bit of crocheting as you can see from the above photo of my swatching a new to the shop s yarn supply a hearty scotch yarn i m getting used to am thinking an outer garment and have a pattern from ravelry however heeding the excellent advice to test out a skein i m re thinking rather than a sweater i m thinking a cardi would be more useful appropriate for outdoor and indoor wear any suggestions would be most appreciated meanwhile the weather has again turned warm cold but i m trying to decide when to get my air conditioners put back in place if last week was any indication of the summer temps those units will get lots of use signing off for now and hope to see you more often this year take care be safe lovely readers ps isn t that new hook lovely just got it as i was missing a 7 mm it handles the yarn sooo smoothly feels wonderfully smooth without being slippery made in nepal of the finest birchwood by lykke share this

freezing in the single digits for the last few days which means the couple inches of snow that fell is still around unfortunately because it s been so cold all the slushy ice is also still around what better time to start fixing three turtleneck sweaters i didn t wear at all last year because the necks were too tight maybe it s the singer in me but tight turtlenecks are very uncomfortable the first shirt i did was a test to see if the bodice or shoulders were thrown off by the collar s removal it was also the lightest weight fabric and i easily cut around the t neck s connecting seam this is the neckline all clipped ready to be sewn how have i lived without these great little clips they made this step so much faster easier then i single folded the edge under once fabric was a knit so no need to double turn the seam after a nice steam press it s been just fine yep have worn it several times and it s just fine two more sweaters to go share this email a link to a friend opens in new window

patterns knows that you can choose to receive a file of several different pdf files one for the instructions and several files of the pattern printed on different sized paper including home computer paper some indie designers also offer already printed patterns generally on that flimsy paper you might recall from simplicity and mccall s the pre printed patterns cost more and have added postage charges consider that today s indie designers are all over the world this roll contains australian and german dress patterns now you understand the lure of electronic file delivery and not having to print out and glue together 60 or more home computer sized pages for just part of a typical dress pattern my local copy shop charges almost 8 us per page that s 3x 8 24 just to print a typical dress pattern that s why i email them to a company several states away the company who shall be nameless although they do a great job has a firm policy of in by noon mailed back that day you have a choice of paper weights newsprint or heavier but size is dictated by the pattern designer although they re pretty standard worldwide i always opt for the size similar to construction blueprints now i ve got some cutting to do a typical dress is generally 3 blueprint sized pages remember we re talking all the innerds as well as what you see on the outside of the dress at under 3 us per page it s worth it to me to have them do the heavy lifting can you imagine having 50 to 80 sheets of paper to tape or glue together times 3 share this email a link to a friend opens in new window email print opens in

whatever happened to august 10 september 2024 curlsnskirls 7 comments hello there remember me seems i took the last part of summer off from blogging and am just now trying to ease back or at least catch up a bit i did manage to finish and fringe this yummy yarn from my local craft thrift shop the only problem now is either picking up my unfinished winter green blankey or finding more yarn for another scarf donation weird things have been happening in the wordpress world this past month which didn t exactly make finding let alone reading blog posts very easy in case anyone s wondering why they ve suddenly gotten a slew of likes from yours truly it s because marking them was possible today most days it s not the problem has been continuous for several years it doesn t make my overall wp experience enjoyable has anyone else had this problem if so for how long from time to time i ve considered going to one of the paid accounts but am concerned the same problem will continue meanwhile

curlsnskirls 1 comment popping by for a brief g day to show off a couple of new to me wooly skeins found at the local craft donations shop and share my experience with the canadian quarters as promised last february to recap i ve nothing against a canadian quarter here or there but the laundry machines down the basement spit them out audaciously you should also know i visit a local bank monthly to purchase quarters for said machines last february there had been a problem one afternoon i was putting laundry into the dryers downstairs and then began feeding quarters into those dryers key word being began after i had a pile of 15 ish rejected quarters i went to find maintenance gracious man he came over and tried 15 more quarters before we realized they were canadian now i love our neighbours to the north and appreciate that we re able to visit fairly freely back and forth but whoever manufactured these machines clearly doesn t share the same attitude then maintenance said another resident had had problems when their american quarters were laced with canadian quarters occasionally i d had a problem with one or two quarters but hadn t bothered to check what country they were from this time the problem was massive as in entire rolls so when i was next in the bank i carefully dug out my rolls of canadian quarters explaining my experience to the nice bank teller she said the bank didn t deal with canadian quarters and therefore couldn t accept or exchange them what i exclaimed you ll hand them out but you won t take them back if they don t work the teller retired to an inner office along with my rolls of quarters after a while she came back and said she d exchange the canadian rolls for u s commenting that someone had evidentially handed in several rolls of canadian quarters carefully putting u s quarters on each easily visible end phew since then i ve come across a u s quarter with badly nicked scarred edges and sure enough the machines refused it one to take back and as the teller examined it we both decided it deserved immediate retirement my latest discovery is two quarters that seem to be glued together share this email a link to a friend opens

been using with this definitely not tunisian summer scarf the boomerang tail isn t noticeable until the end of a row and i was putting up with it but it s starting to get to me can i chop it off any other suggestions i bought it because it s an m and i didn t have that size in my collection plus it s well balanced and the wood feels good in my hand except for that tail the silver end tip doesn t seem to want to unscrew and i haven t wanted to force it i want to be certain if i just cut off the plastic bit that it doesn t leave a sharp edge to snag anything i m a bit stumped share this email a
