Comments (26)When I paint I hold almost everything in my hands. If you sponge on the paint, dry it and then put it in the palm of your hand you should be able to dot his eyes. If you are right handed, dot the left eye first, it makes it easier to see where you are going. You can also make a dot of orange for his nose if you like, or I have been painting mine red and white candy stripe - different and cute. You have the sock then down right. Just remember to glue under the cuff so it won't come off when you put the string on to hang it on the tree. Let me know how it turns out. B...See MoreSetting limits for hobbies and crafts?
Comments (4)mommabird, that's kind of what I was thinking. It seems like when a project comes up, so often what it is on hand, is not what would work best. Often I end up out shopping for something more appropriate. Especially now that much of the sewing is done for a child, the fabrics should look modern, and even many fabrics that are only a decade old, look like fabrics from a decade ago. Since I don't do much of this anymore, compromising and using second best fabric does not sit well. Same thing with some of the yarns, particularly ones that were sent this way after my grandmother died. Most are really beautiful wool yarns, but wool is hard for me to work with, and the colors are not right. Part of me thinks I should just let them go, but then again, they are some nice yarns... I did go through a few months back and got rid of anything that didn't hold up well (faded in the wash, wore prematurely, etc), as well as smaller scraps that I couldn't imagine finding a use for. My mother was one who kept even the tiniest scrap declaring that it could be used in doll clothes or to make a doll quilt- great but that is not how I want to spend my limited time! I've got to break that influence that all resources are resources to be kept and used. Thanks for the feedback, I'm excited to get started going through this stuff, but fearful that I will freeze up and just put it all back away!...See MoreDen/hobby rm/craft rm/utility rm update

Comments (6)Your "new" room sounds wonderful and practical. How marvelous to have so many built-ins you can afford to pull some out! :-) The Barnes is just wonderful. I haven't lived in that area for a long time, but it was a fave when we did. I surprised DH with a visit when we were first dating. It was for his birthday. He was relatively new to the area did not know the Barnes even existed. That was back in the days when they only let 50 people in on one day of the week. You had to make reservations well in advance, and still, they made you wait in line. It was a glorious experience. At the time, nothing was catalogued in color and nothing was ever allowed to travel. I have not followed the politics or progress of the institution since we left in 1999. I would love to hear an update when you get back. Oh, and about the Ikea fixture....that one seems to always be sold out at my local (2 hrs away!) Ikeas. Do you know you can check stock online?...See MoreToronto Veterinarian
