OT Humour - Written & Spoken English by
CATS
If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you
will be speaking English better than 90% of the native
English speakers in the world. After trying the verses, a
Frenchman said he'd prefer six months of hard labour to
reading six lines aloud. Try them yourself.

Easy sewing projects for 6-8 year olds? by
Johanna Gibson
Hello,
Several children in my group have watched me making patchwork
things, and are quite keen to try it! I want to give them some
projects that will not be frustrating, and will be quite easy to
complete. Any ideas? I gave them some scraps to use as bookmarks...
but I'm after some patterns...

A while ago someone mentioned seeing a Gordian Knot quilt or book. I

Question for all new Mommies by
Debbi
Does mom live in a two story house? One of the monitors comes in really
handy. Unfortunately, Matthew was unable to cry until he was 10 months old
and had his throat reconstructed. I could use the monitor if he was upstairs
(I actually had a cradle downstairs too for him) so I could hear...

Putting a number at the back of a polyester hockey jersey by
Kate Dicey
wrote:
What should I use? Paint? If so, what kind? Thanks for your help!
I'd draw the letters on a contrasting fabric, and applique them using a
satin stitch. You can hold the letters down for stitching with
Bondaweb, or spray baste.

My niece wants to learn... by
Mary Anna
My 9 year old niece spent the night with us last night, and asked me what I
was doing while I was sewing some squares together. I told her that I was
learning how to make quilts and she immediately asked "Can you teach me
how?" Well, of course I was happy to do that!
I wasn't sure if she'd like it...

So, definitely getting a new sewing machine soon, looks like I had

Viking Sapphire (not the top one with the thread snipper), along with
needed accessories.
We had an unexpected windfall and though I'm not planning to add it to...

OT medicine costs killing me by
Polly Esther
I am so reluctant to ask this since I know you are getting blasted with spam
from drug dealers - but - our prescription bills are just overwhelming. Have
any of you dared to order your medicines from Canada? We almost needed to go
get a tire tool to unlock my jaws when I wrote a check for the...

Placement of sewing machine by
Jane MacDonald
Glacier My husband is making me a sewing table, just a piece of
countertop with a hole cut out, in which to set the sewing machine. The
problem I have with my present cabinet is that I can't sit directly in front
of the needle, but have to "lean to the left" to sew. I also find that the
needle...
