She even grabbed the little bit of crash glass I had!
She just blew me away tonight! She'd finish something, and
jump up and look at my stash!

Mission Impossible? Teas in 4 hours of sun?

Diane, up here in western coastal Washington, I grow some teas, Madame Berkley, Lady Hillingdon, Le Vesuve and Devoniensis. Oh, and Melanie Willermoz. Compared to growing them in the south, it is excruciatingly slow, but I am cautiously encouraged. I tried Madame Berkley because of Cass Bernstein's comment that it does better in cooler weather. Lady Hillingdon because it is rated 6b and so I thought maybe more accepting of cooler conditions. The others because I had them with me. Of all of them, Le Vesuve has done the best, I think. I put it next to Tuscany (what an odd pairing) but I really though LV would stay very small. But it is growing pretty well so will soon be fighting for space with Tuscany. Devoniensis is the slowest but I think it is just slow anyway. None have mildewed, despite the wet and cool temps, in the two to three years they've been in the ground. Not much bloom, either, but as I said, I am cautiously encouraged. One very cold winter, Dev and MWillermoz froze to the ground, but they both came back. We're rated 8a or 8b but the weather is wild sometimes. Like everywhere, I guess. My casualties have been G. Nabonnand and Enchantress. The Enchantress bush did fine but the blooms always balled so I sp'd it. I have put mine in as warm and sunny a spot as I have; I didn't expect much but it's okay so far. My mom has lived in Daly City and Half Moon Bay so I am kind of familiar with where you are. Foggy. I am curious as to what happens with your tea roses if you decide to plant some, so please update!

I know that there is a chocolate mousse yogurt put out by Dannon, but I don't know how to make it. Other ideas: Cold: Cold broth Hummus (Recipe follows) Peanut butter (whipped with a little honey and milk if it's too thick to eat) Warm: Mashed potatoes Cider (great treat in the cold weather, anyway) Grits Cream of wheat (with applesauce mixed in) pureed soups (which you are already doing) Hummus Recipe 2 - 3 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced 2 - 3 green onions, sliced into 1" pieces a handful of parsley 16 oz can of chick peas/garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed well 6 TBSP tahini 6 TBSP fresh lemon juice 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp cayenne salt to taste Chop the garlic, green onions and parsley in food processor. (But don't puree yet.) Add the remaining ingredients and set on high until the mixture is smooth. Add water if it needs thinning. Normally I would eat this on carrot sticks, but I feed it to my son straight. Smoothies: 1/4 c. frozen blueberries 1/4 c. frozen strawberries 1/4 c. pineapple yogurt 1/2 c. orange juice OR 1 really ripe banana (frozen) 1/2 tsp. vanilla (or to taste) 1/2 c. milk (or to desired consistency) I hope your DD feels better soon! ~Amanda

Help, I'm desperate. My 7mth DD won't sleep

If you're in doubt, tape an 'episode' and show it to your doctor. Sleep disturbances can be caused by a lot of things. Flipping around, like a fish when asleep doesn't sound 'normal' and it does sound like it might be worth mentioning to your pediatrician. Infantile spasms might cause that kind of thing. Characteristically, the baby would alternate between flexing and extending at the neck (so their head is kind of bobbing) or at the waist (so their whole body is kind of into it, back and forth just flexing and extending). That might look like 'flopping around like a fish' especially when the baby was tired, going into or coming out of sleep. This page has a good description. http://www.epinet.org.au/info/infantile.html if that's it, then be careful not to panic because of all the different causes some are very severe, and some a lot less so but the thing is to get medical treatment because seizure conditions need good management as soon as possible to avoid or minimize any significant developmental delay that could occur (if your baby had been normal until this symptom at 7 months, then odds are they don't have one of the more severe causes)

OMG - How did I get all this stuff!!???
Q

I've been trying to pare down my "stuff" - and not just my sewing stuff, for the past 2 years - ever since I retired, I've been looking at everything with a more critical eye - maybe just have more time now to get serious about what I want to keep or need - that first summer I donated 17 boxes of just all kinds of things you accumulate over the years, plus my huge 7-ft artificial Christmas tree (some places didn't want it!) an old computor desk, a chair that was my mothers (my brother unloaded it on me, he was one step ahead of me in decluttering, and amazing how you think you should own stuff that you maybe don't even want or need, because of its sentimental value!) the list goes on and on - I don't want my kids to someday have to dig through our house trying to decide about everything we own, and I know one daughter will want to keep everything "because it was Mom and Dad's" (see sentence about "sentimental value") so I'm doing it for them ahead of time. I had a nice little chrome and vinyl chair, box of nice books, 3-4 boxes of this and that out on the porch Thursday for Salvation Army to come pick up - they sorted through it all, and only took about half!!! - left the chair and the books - ??? My neighbor took the chair for her front porch, and the rest of the stuff I'm dispersing here and there in town to charities - it's NOT coming back into my house. I'm much more picky about what I buy now, and accept as freebies - don't need all that I thought I needed or wanted in order to be happy. As my daughter says - "There's a difference between needs and wants". Boy, didn't mean to ramble on about this! (And I do have a box of fabric pieces to donate to a church charity - of course that was one of the boxes S.A. didn't want).

That is amazing work! Wonderful selection and placement; chip off the old block is right. And, if she enjoyed it enough to stay with it four hours, I think she's well on her way!

This just blows me away. THAT CHILD HAS NATURAL TALENT. Boyohboy! Pursue that w/a vengence. If more kids were taught things such as this, there'd be a lot less problems w/them. What a wonderful mother! I LOVE them all, but the cross is soooooo beautiful - the colors. Great choice of tesserae mix in the frame too. The heart is wonderful - is ALL that crash glass, and did she paint the frame that color? BEAUTIFUL job, and amazing that it's her first projects and did them so fast. Phew - makes my head spin. Anxious to see them grouted. W/she do the grouting?

Thank you all so much for the great comments. She was pretty excited when she checked the computer today and saw how many people commented. I was thrilled when she said...
"We should make this an every friday night thing" It was so much fun, but it's gonna cost me a fortune as fast as she works. We went to the dollar store today and spent $40 on jewelry, and she is asking for some differnt colored tiles
online tonight. I have created a monster!!ahahhaa

We grouted tonight, and still need to clean them up. There's a bunch of glue to scrape still. She did a different color grout on each one. I'll post them here
in a few days, she wants to add some stuff and paint some things.

Thanks again everyone!

Geez Hazie! You've created a monster! I can tell by the placement of tesserae, she has a real artist' eye. Keep her going on it. It's great the two of you have that in common.
