[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 206332, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Sharon/LDM, what with the muffins and then the Thai lunch, I suspect you'll be putting in extra hard yards at the gym afterwards! Don't overdo it, just enjoy your day. TM, the vampire ghost cheerleader sounds like a fun way to handle the Halloween costume issue. Thirty kids! That's someone who's earned her sainthood! Linda, I hope the pain levels ease for you. A good idea, to use the awake time to be productive. I hope kt doesn't find that pine cone too quickly! We had a busy but fun day at the train track today. mother in law came along and enjoyed a relaxing sit in the car - doesn't sound great, but we just park in the shade at the park, leave the doors open and the windows down to enjoy the fresh air, and just LIVE out of the car. Lovely soft seats (reclining). Mind you, I was too busy to sit down much. So was husband. difficult child 3 was doing some heavy work, he's really enjoying working with his dad at the club. We drove home by the ocean road, it's lovely. It takes us over Seacliff Bridge, the trip is worth it for that bridge alone. Tonight I'm working on the skirt/petticoat for my dress for difficult child 1's wedding. I've made the underskirt, I now need to work out how much tulle I need. Do I gather twice the length, more, or less? Three times? I'm working without a pattern but I've sewn tulle before; I made easy child 2/difficult child 2 a classic tutu when she was about 7. I remember for a tutu you sew the lower pieces on first and they begin narrowest and get wider as you go up. A ballet tutu, the layers have to be as close together as you can get them, but the petticoat I;m making, the layers are a handspan apart; two, maybe three. It's just how much to gather them that I'm trying to remember... I'm rusty! Maybe I should stop for tonight - I'm a bit short on sleep! Enjoy your Sunday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
