hunka hunka roastin' meats!
Well,
the roast is finished and yummy!
all i did though (lazy) is shove it in the crock after browning it with some onions. But wow the meat is very tender...i can just rip it off and its so tender. This isn't my lil' roast, mine didn't look as photogenic...but here is visual aide.

You're too cute most days.
Best of luck with the job for your hubby.
As for sewing, yes stuff gets caught, check your tension with scrap material first to see if it's working, also ensure you are using the right needles or that it's not dull as that makes a difference, oil up your machine, and dust it out regularly.
You know what I find works wonders for cleaning dust from under the bobbin? compressed air you know the can of air??
I hope you find the patience to do what you want and if you did kids clothes you'd probably do very well as it's a market that is still quite open to new and different things.
No allergies and don't_sing_that_song!!!
gAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!

I _love_ the idea of velvet babay bum covers! I mean, why not? If it's washable velvet it should be good to go. (I am so maniachly inspired now...)
OHMAGAWD! period costumes for babies! *giggles incessantly*

you no like?
c'mon!
I'm quite sure it wouldn't be difficult.
I m pretty sure they dressed them in long gauzey/cotton/eyelety-looking dresses (even the boys)and then the hats! OH THE HATS that would be sooo much fun to make!
and then for winter..well furry hats? (dunno) even furry mocossanish boots? Velvet coats with golden rick rack??
How can we find out?
I am Swedish...perhaps i'll make up some Swedish baby garb. How on earth would I find a picture to copy that is period Swedish costumeyish?
Turkey, right?

I honestly don't know aout historical Turkish garb for kids beyond tunics and such. But for hte most part, when they got all mobile and stuff, historically kids wore just a simpler version of what the adults wore, right?
What time period of Sweden would you be wanting to look at?

Up came so many intersting things!
The jewelry was fantastic!
I hope someday very soon to design and make my own jewelry.
I love to look at jewelry especially old pieces from estate sales.
I look at these pieces and i think "who wore this? what was she like? where was she from?"
I wanted so badly to get a ring from an antique store to wear with my solitare as a wedding set. I wanted a tiny band that contained etchings and engraved swirls and cresents.
But my sweet Bert said "you are not wearing a dead woman's wedding ring"
It made me laugh.
Well that was that on that subject between he and I. giggle he only wanted the best for me.
Anyway (mind wandering away again) the Byzantine earrings will be a lovely inspiration for me when i sit to sketch designs.

See, here is the thing.
AS i was growing up, my mother made a few things for me. But she'd never use any shimmery fabrics. Only cotton or polyester (ACK!) I'd always choose rayon because i loved soft flowing skirts that didn't show my BIG ass and hips.
We'd go to the fabric store and i'd chose something and she'd say "no, my machine won't sew on that" Apparently she needed a plate with bigger holes, or the teeth would catch the fabric and pull it into the hole. She said the tension was a factor and "one you change it...it really messes things up"
SO!
I got my machine and there was much rejoicing in the land of Mellie.
BUT i still hear my mother's voice lurking behind saying "no knitttssssss" "no rayyyonnnn" "dont ever touch the tensionnnnnnnnn"
:(
Mellie < fear IS a factor for me!
