Tutorials

I love tutorials! I buy them a lot. Some I have taken full advantage of. Some I have not, but I plan to!

I bought a 'how to weave a headband with grosgrain ribbon.' I have not done it, yet. Why not? Although I mostly work with ribbon, it's velvet ribbon. Have you seen the amount of grosgrain ribbon choices out there????? Wholly cow, there's tons! For example, pink is a number one colour, but do you know how many shades you can buy??? And that's just the solid colours, then there's the striped, dotted, printed, etc, etc ribbon. There's a lot of choices before I start and that's why I have not.

The other tutorials have been great! I have made all sorts of wonderful things with them: fringe, beaded barrettes is one of my latest ones. It's the same with buying beads as it is with grosgrain ribbon.

Have you learned something new lately? What is it?

The Daily News

I have a child in the house and feel that although televised news is informative, it's too graphic and negative.

How do you explain to a child why someone's lying on the ground with a blanket over them? "No honey, he's not sleeping in the street......"

I choose not to have the news on in my home. I don't want to explain, yet, why people can be so crewel to each other, weather it's in our own country or another one.

I don't know what a good age, for kids, to hear and see the news, but I think I'm going to delay it for as long as possible.

Are you like me? Do you find that no news is good news?
