Hello everyone! I know it has been a while since I last posted, but I have been super busy lately. Paper crafting has taken a back seat for a little wee bit! I am hoping to pick up the pace once school is over, but we'll see how that goes. Emma's last day of school is next Thursday and she can hardly wait!
Just wanted to share a card I made for a birthday a while back, it has been sitting patiently on my computer waiting to be posted. Poor little thing! Anyway, I hope you like it.
Thanks for stopping by!

Time After Time
2 comments:
I have experienced "wandering hands syndrome" much more outside of politics than within it. But, as any conference goer (of any organisation) will tell you, a range of sexual and pre-sexual behaviours will occur when people get together. This makes a "zero tolerance" approach based on monitoring invasive, illiberal and impractical. The general public probably do not appreciate what a shoestring, volunteer-dependent organisation a political party can be. There probably are structures which can and should be put in place to make reporting easier; but no one individual in a democratic organisation can create these structures ex nihilo nor be held personally liable for not chasing up every *potentially unfounded and defamatory* rumour if no specifics have been brought to his/her attention.ReplyDelete
Ah, I'm familiar with shoestring budgets, so yes, I appreciate that point, and it's a fair thing to point out here. My concern, though, is not so much about random individuals as about those individuals within a hierarchy of authority which is exactly where people should be able to turn for support. In neither of the cases here am I talking about one-off rumours; rather, these are instances in which multiple allegations of a similar nature have occurred. The possibility that allegations are unfounded should itself, if they are persistent, constitute a reason for investigating (as either way, there's a problem).ReplyDelete

Here they are:
I used this pattern:
I did have to make a few prototypes. Although I used the pattern without any changes, I changed the construction order and used different types of elastic. I found lingerie elastic with the picot edge looked and felt bad. Maybe it was different in '82 when this pattern was printed. I used clear elastic on the leg openings and regular 1" wide elastic at the waist. I sewed the leg elastic in flat then flipped it to the inside and zig zagged it down after the side seams were serged together. I also used the serger to attach the waist elastic. I found that you should make the panty with negative ease, but only make the elastic about an inch smaller than the garment measurements.
They're a great project when you have only a little time and energy as they only take about 40 minutes and require no standing up or pressing. I think I'll cut out a few more.

Civil Service Association President John Bothwell is welcoming Government's move to address pay stagnation. But he says he doesn't want the goodwill to stop there.
He wants more to be done to raise the standard of living for all civil servants and is pledging to raise the standards of public sector workers, as well.
"We know how much good work we are doing and this is a way to kind of prove it within ourselves," Mr Bothwell says.
The civil servants association leader likes an upcoming pay raise, more importantly, he's pleased pay increases are now tied to performance based assessments.
"We are very happy to see the Deputy Governor has now got us on the road to doing that and its going to be a big change within the civil service," he adds.
This week Premier Hon. Alden McLaughlin announced increases for 1500 civil servants locked in stagnant pay for at least three years.
Mr Bothwell says while that addresses one area, it opens up the discussion for more issues to be addressed.
"The whole hiring freezes, the whole lack of movement in the service that whole succession planning is a long simmering one," Mr Bothwell says.
Next, Mr Bothwell's team will begin meeting with his members to prepare proposals for government aimed at helping improve overall civil service performance.
And Mr Bothwell is urging all civil servants to take the association's ongoing survey on what they want addressed on their behalf.

Here is my sad little sampler for the Take a Stitch Challenge
I have been a very lazy embroiderer recently. I joined this challenge back in January, but I had never given myself the time to sit down and actually play with the stitches. I finaly decided today that I had to put everything else aside and catch up on this. I have a stash of even weave linnen tea towels that I decided to use. I got one out for me and one for my son. They were great for freehand work, but terrible for counted work. The weave wasn't even enough. I had just about decided to finish this week's stitch and then pick up next week on some adia that I had in my craft closet, when the fly stich caught my imagination.
I rushed to the closet and busted out with the adia and started experamenting. I came up with two different versions of a flower that I think are stunning.
I had been atempting to make a fractal snowflake pattern thinking it would be a great way to cover the fabric completely, but I came up with these instead. They work great all by themselves or as a border.
My son decided he didn't want to follow the stitches in the challenge, so he drew his own pattern and went to town embroidering it. He says he wants to make a pillow out of it when he is done.

DU Community Mourns the Rev. Adrian van Kaam, Founder of Formative Spirituality Studies
The Rev. Adrian van Kaam, C.S.Sp., a world renowned author and former professor of psychology at Duquesne University, died late Saturday, Nov. 17, at the Little Sisters of the Poor Nursing Home in Pittsburgh.
In 1954, after ministering in his Holland for six years, van Kaam came to the United States and was appointed to the faculty in the psychology department of Duquesne. He started studies that left their mark on Duquesne and the study of psychology worldwide.
"He was the real inspiration of the unique program in existential phenomenological psychology that began in 1959, a world renowned program," said the Rev. David Smith, C.S. Sp., of Duquesne University, who had van Kaam as a professor and as director of his master's thesis. "There was none like it in the entire world. It was his original idea, and he brought together faculty members from all over the country who were interested in and committed to a type of psychology that respected the uniqueness, the dignity and the freedom of the human being.
"He was one of the greatest creative minds I ever encountered," said Smith, who will deliver the homily at the Mass of Resurrection at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 24. "He was a man of towering intellect, tender heart and capacious spirit. He welcomed everybody warmly and graciously and politely, 'Dear friend, how are you?' "
Van Kaam, who authored more than 60 books, also started several institutes, including the Graduate Institute of Formative Spirituality in 1963. Through this institute, van Kaam trained hundreds of priests, nuns, brothers and lay people from all over the world who worked as directors of seminaries and novitiates.
Van Kaam received the President's Award for Excellence in teaching and taught as a professor in the spiritual formation field until the institute closed in 1993. In 1979, he and Dr. Susan Muto co-founded the still-existing Epiphany Association, an ecumenical spirituality center dedicated to education in classical and contemporary fields of formative spirituality.
Born April 19, 1920, he was ordained on July 21, 1946 at the Seminary in Gemert, Netherlands. He received an honorary Doctor of Christian Letters degree from the Franciscan University. He retired to Libermann Hall, Bethel Park, in 2004 and was under the skilled care of the Little Sisters of the Poor on the North Side of Pittsburgh since 2005.
Viewing will take place Friday, Nov. 23, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. at Epiphany Academy, 820 Crane Ave., Pittsburgh. There will also be viewing at Trinity Hall Chapel, Duquesne University from 9 to 10:45 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 24, followed by the Mass of Resurrection in the Duquesne University Chapel. Burial will take place in Queen of Heaven Cemetery, Route 19 South, Peters Township, with refreshments afterward at Epiphany Academy from 2 to 4 p.m.
Surviving are his sisters, Bet van Gemert and Lia Schlikaans van Kaam and several nieces and nephews in Holland.
"He saw God in everybody," Smith said. "He wanted every man and woman to reach their full potential as human beings. He certainly made a great contribution to Duquesne University, to the Church and to the lives of thousands and thousands of people. Now he is dancing with the angels."
Duquesne University
Founded in 1878, Duquesne is consistently ranked among the nation's top Catholic universities for its award-winning faculty and tradition of academic excellence.

St Hilda's Primary School aspires to be 'A dynamic learning community that
nurtures loyal citizens with godly character and global outlook'. This vision
can only be fully achieved by forming meaningful partnerships with parents,
other institutions and the community. Hence the school adopts the Partners
Framework to ensure wider community involvement and purposeful partnerships for
continuous school growth and pupil involvement.
Strategic partners are identified and engaged to help achieve its student
outcomes in the 4 key pupil domains namely the cognitive, affective, spiritual
and physical and aesthetic domains.
The school also adopts a three-prong approach in engaging its three main
groups of stakeholders namely: other schools, parents and the wider community.
Some of the school's strategic partners are as follows:
The school firmly believes that in its journey to develop self-motivated
learners who strive for distinction, the Parent Support Group plays a key role
in helping to develop its pupils as creative and critical thinkers. For example,
the PSG supports the school's teaching and learning through the effective
engagement of lower ability pupils in programmes such as "Math Made Easy",
"Reading Is Fun" and "I Love Mandarin". Pupils in these programmes not only
benefit from the specialised curriculum that has been designed for them, but are
also meaningfully and effectively engaged in learning. Many have emerged from
these programmes not only with better academic grades, but more importantly a
liking for the subject.
The Praying Parents group of the PSG also support the school's spiritual
needs by providing prayer support and coming together to pray for pupils with
prayer requests, the parents and teachers of the school.
In 2009, the SHPS Fathers Group, which is part of the PSG, was formed to
rally like-minded fathers in the school who seek to be a source of support and
encouragement to their children. The success of the Fathers Group led to the
Dads for Life initiative by MCYS which was shared nationally by our Fathers
Key to developing our pupils with HILDANs of Godly character is the partner
church, Chapel of Christ the Redeemer. Its staff supports the school in
developing its pupils socially and morally through morning devotions and
assembly programmes in line with the school's values and character education
This year, the school embarked on its Staff CIP programme which saw full
involvement of all staff in CIP related activities. Strategic partners such as
St. Andrews Autism Centre, St. Andrew's Community Hospital, Metta Welfare
Association and Waterways Watch Society were chosen to encompass a variety of
community work to give staff an opportunity to have a diverse learning
experience in the area of social welfare and the environment. This rich learning
experience in turn develops in all staff a sense of social responsibility and
In conclusion, the school continually strives to improve on its partnership
processes to ensure the motivation of continued collaborations of our partners
through mutual purpose-driven goals and benefits. Sustainability of the
partnerships is also ensured through planning and reviews of its

Home Groups
Home groups are at the heart of our church vision. They are an important way to become an active member of the church, building relationships, discipleship, leadership opportunity and spiritual growth.
We have a number of home groups that meet around Johannesburg regularly. For more information about a group that would suit you, please contact our Home Groups Co-ordinator Jo-anne Tatalias here.
The 'Renew Africa' Course
Over the next few years we as the St Martin's community will be sharing in the Renew Africa course. This is a 3-year process of growing in our faith through small groups which meet weekly. The course runs in 6-week "seasons" and there are two seasons each year – one in the Lent period and then again around September. During this time our normal home groups will cease meeting in order to form Renew Groups. We encourage every member of St Martin's to join a Renew group. During the Renew season our Sunday sermons will follow the relevant theme for that weeks' course.
For more information on Renew, and to register your interest to join the next course, please contact the Renew Coordinator Jo-anne Tatalias here.
Sunday School
Sunday School is held in the Hall during the 9h30 Sunday Service, for all children ages 4 and upwards. We also have a toddler group for those ages 2-4. Children join the service until after the upfront worship and then move out to their groups.
For more on Sunday School contact Kirsten Smith here.
Kidzone runs during the 17h30 Get Real Service and the 18h00 Evensong services, and meets in the Parish Room. Children age 4-11 are welcome. We enjoy a bible story, craft activities, sometimes even baking, and a lot of fun.
Contact Kirsten Smith here.
Youthspace is a dynamic meeting place for teens from the ages of 12 to 18. We meet upstairs from the Hall after the initial worship of the Get Real service. We enjoy lively and challenging chats about what is really going on in our lives. We love to see how God is relevant to the stuff we experience every day. We laugh a lot, learn a lot and debate quite a bit too.
Contact Drew Carr here.
We meet at 6h30 every Friday morning in the Parents room at the back of the church. We spend an hour together, reading and discussing the book that we are working through, sharing our lives and praying. We have seen the great benefit of Christian friendship and support as we live out our faith in this busy, exciting and demanding City.
Please contact James Martin here.

The Samoa government has sent two officials to American Samoa recently to identify the most suitable form of formal bilateral economic integration to enhance trade and investment opportunities between the two Samoas.
An official with Samoa's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Aida Savea, says they had wanted to confirm whether American Samoa can enter into a bilateral economic arrangement without the involvement of Washington.
She says what businesses in both American Samoa and Samoa want is transparency and certainty through some sort of a formal economic agreement.
Ms Savea says a lot more work needs to be done by both sides with regards to what goods and services would be included in such an arrangement.
A follow-up meeting is planned for October.

Asahina Mutsuki (朝比奈睦月)The tomboyish, strongwilled daughter of the proprietors of a Shinto shrine, and a miko (shrine priestess) in her own right. Redhaired, pretty, and rather curvy, she is a master of exorcism. She has an aggressive shotacon tendence, an attraction to young boys, and Nino is often a target of this. Unusually enough for an anime series, while Mutsuki is not the main character or the de facto leader of the Holy Student Council, she is the strongest of the primary human characters and often acts like more like a leader than Haruto himself. She can use her prayer stick as a weapon, and frequently expels spirits out of Kazumi using her "Asahina Special" exorcism attack.

I. Unpacking
Yes, indeed, I am kinda unpacking after coming to my destination. The fact that I am doing it 3-4 weeks later might be omitted.
Anyway, we went on school trip the other and I was looking for some shorts in my baggage (I haven't done any unpacking so far) and by accident I found another jeans in there. Man, I don't need to go for shopping!
The idea is: probably I can find some another useful stuff in there also, right? I do not remember packing, but I might even took something interesting.
Wondering about results? Nothing. Man, only big amount of pills.
So much pills. Even more. For headache, another one for headache, and another one for headache. And for general body ache. For stomach ache. For allergy. Eyes vitamins, some general no-idea-what-for vitamins. Eye-drops. Pills for coughing. Some magnesium for my hearth. And some shit I ain't got idea what it is.
I feel more healthy already.
II. Typhoon
Typhoon is kinda dangerous (they say). But guess what? Not in Daegu.
Damn! I did come to the other side of world and I am not gonna see typhoon!? Alright, It'd been in here, but we are surrounded by mountains, so it looked like every-day-regular European rain. Little more stronger wind, but still boring. Storms I've seen in US been more exciting: shit-load of lightening (like every second) and I also haven't been working in such a times. Unfortunately, in this part of world, they somehow works on the same principles as my Faculty in Slovakia: when all others are closed, we still go to school.
But they got awesome thing connected with rain. This:
But I tell you, in here, it is everywhere: bank, police, school, shops, wherever. Business, right? They know what are they doing.
III. Hate
I hate my Korean teacher.
Okay, it's not hate, she is nice and so... but, you know, she ain't speak English, and listening 2-3-4 hours to some Korean stuff I don't understand... Irritate me so fucking much. How can I learn language if I don't understand my teacher?
Fuck, she is teaching us basic stuff, but explaining in Korean. Damn, how can she explain me the basics of some language with use of the same advanced version of language? When she paint something on board, I can only smile. Makes no sense to me. Pointless.
Sure, I ask her: Sorry, I don't understand what did you just wrote.
And she's like: "korean-korean-korean." Explaining me meaning of Korean sentence in the same Korean language I don't understand.
Lady, if I could understand the Korean, I wouldn't need to explain sentence. Man!
Thanks god she is only one of 3 teacher we got.
Thanks god I am phlegmatic.

Hey all! Today we're going to show you how to make this adorable jingle bell infinity scarf!
So cute!
[Sorry for the bad lighting]
You will need:
*An Infinity scarf- here's a tutorial.
*Mini jingle bells
*Needle and thread or hot glue gun
1) Cut a piece of ribbon the same length as your infinity scarf when it's laying flat.
2) Glue it on.
3) Glue the top of each jingle bell onto the ribbon, making sure that they still jingle.
And you're done!
Hope you like it!
PS- The chocolate frogs that I bought from Pippaloo just came today, and they are SO adorable! I'll have to show you some pictures soon!

this was one of my best weeks here in san isidro. we started this week knowing that we needed to find a lot of people (we only had like 2 progressing investigatores) but we also knew that going door to door isnt very effective and that it frustrates us. so we knew that we needed the help of the members and that is what we did! we started getting the members to work more with us and we found a bunch of positive people!! working with members has been something that has been very hard for me for my whole mission and i believe that we were greatly blessed for finally working well with members. let me share with you a great miracle that i believe that we received for working with the members. on saturday in the morning we wanted to visit a family that we have been teaching for a long time. we called the wife and she told us that she would be there, we started to walk there (it is like 45 minute walk, but usually we go in bus or pick up truck). when we got there, there wasnt anyone home and i was really frustrated. my comp remembered that a member told us to visit someone who was a neighbor of this family, so we went there and even though we didnt find the person that the member told us to visit, we found someone who is very very prepared. he told us that he has been wanting to go to a church but didnt know which one to go to and that he has had a lot of problems in his life and knows he needs Gods help. so yeah that was one of the great blessing that we received this week for working hard and working with members.
answers to moms questions:
i am getting used to the heat a little; i dont feel like it is as hot, but i still do sweat a lot and if i go to the mountains for a meeting (i have done it twice in the last month) i feel like it is very very cold. it scares me that im gonna die when i come home, becuase if the guatlemalan mountains where it is problably 45 or 50 degrees makes me feel really cold i have no idea how i will be able to live with snow again, haha. yes transfers are this week. we still havent heard any news but yes i do think i will be leaving san isidro. we saw president on wednesday for a conference we had with him in the mountains. the best thing i have learned from president is the importance of the doctrine of Christ. we eat with members everyday for lunch, except pday and maybe 2 or 3 times a week they give us dinner. we shop in malacatan in a fairly nice grocery store. we have a debit card from the mission and every month they put money on it, and then we take the money out at an atm and we pay everything with the cash. i havent heard from chase in the last few weeks but last i have heard he is doing great, loving the mission. he is a zone leader and has to travel all over the amazon jungle. my favoirte scripture this week would have to be d&c 45:62 and d&c 58:3-4.
this week i did have an experience with grandpa. i was reading in 3 nefi 14 were Jesus tells the story of the wise man and the foolish man and it made think of the song and the way that grandpa always sang it. i love sharing the story with investigators - it helps them see the importance of obeying and it helps us feel the spirit.
that is a way cool story about sam!!
tell rod i say hi, i would love to talk to her but i dont have her email, if you could get that for me that would be great!!
so i think that is about it for this week
i hope you have a wonderful week

- Is it experienced simultaneously or successively?
- How do you know if it is different to an ordinary orgasm, if all orgasms come in waves?
- Is a multiple orgasm having more than one orgasm in one session of sex or in one act of intercourse?
- What is "one act of intercourse" - the duration of the tumescence of the male member from erection to ejaculation?
- Did some evil feminist make it up to make men feel inadequate and make women dissatisfied?
I want those who claim to have experienced a multiple orgasm to explain how it is different to an ORDINARY one.
http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/relationships/multiple+orgasms-36.html defines a multiple orgasm viz:
Being Multi-orgasmic, is it a fallacy, here are some of the details.
Definition of multiple orgasms: experiencing orgasms within half a minute to a minute apart, which is quite close together. Each orgasm in a multiple session doesn't have to be earth shattering, it can be waves of pleasure, or even tension releases, we all experience orgasms differently and at different intensities, so multiple orgasms also vary with each individual.
How long is a piece of string, ladies?
Some of you think it is having more than one orgasm in one "session", and there was I thinking it was having "one orgasm half a minute to a minute apart".
It sounds a bit like the Holy Grail of Sex to me. It seems that the person who invented this concept of the multiple orgasm invented it to keep us chasing rainbows.

The ground was bursting with people. All were waiting for Madhurani. For that matter it was more than an hour since she was expected to arrive. Two three times there was a commotion when people shouted with glee that Madhurani's car had come and two three times the workers also broke into action. Perhaps someone was purposely raising this false alarm. Indicating that the longer the people are kept waiting more the importance of the leader grows. But they must take care that the public aught not to feel bored while waiting for their leader. They should remain alert and eagerly await their leader's arrival. Otherwise people who had become tired of waiting would not even know when their leader came and went away. The rumor must also not be spread too often or too quickly, otherwise it would become like the shepherd's crying out "wolf, wolf". Politics is a mixture of suitable ingredients, done in a suitable proportion at a suitable time.
Just then Ganeshrao saw some more people from Ujni getting down from another truck. This truck had indeed arrived late because actually the meeting ought to have already started by now. Perhaps this could be the truck's second trip from Ujni. Ganeshrao had already taken care of the responsibilities given to him and now all he had to do was to wait for Madhurani's arrival.
To pass his time Ganeshrao again went to the truck that had come from Ujni. On this occasion he met the person who lived in Ujni, going around the nearby villages repairing motor-pump-fans and working as a mechanic. He was still doing the same job.
' Baban' yes he is Baban… he remembered.
The one whom the villagers called 'Yeda', the mad, was still a 'Yeda".
While the people chatted he repeatedly kept asking, "When would the meeting start? When would the meeting start?". ..
In that crowd Ganeshrao also saw Sambhajirao who looked after Madhurani's field. But even after noticing him he pretended as though he had not and he slipped away in the crowd. He also saw Maruti Tailor. But, perhaps being shy by nature, he did not talk to Ganeshrao. He also met Mahada, Lokhandya, Bhika and others who had played cricket in the village. From them he learnt that the younger generation from the village had now taken over the tradition of playing cricket. The cricket players of the new generation had come during the earlier trip. They were planning to request Madhurani for a cricket kit. It seemed that during the last elections Madhurani had voluntarily presented them with a cricket bat. Ganeshrao came to know this from his former colleagues who had played cricket with him. It was a clever move on the part of Madhurani. A cricket kit to the youth would make the entire village pleased. He saw two-three new youngsters. Ganeshrao enquired with someone. He came to know that two of them were sons of Bandu Hotelwala. Their mother and father continued to go from village to village looking after the hotel business. But these youngsters, like vagabonds, were roaming carefree. A villager, while talking about them, had talked ill of them. And it seemed one 15-16 year old youth among them was the son of the dumb-young man. Ganeshrao suddenly remembered the incident of the dumb boy and the dumb girl.
How is the dumb girl doing?
Is she married now?
He was about to ask all these to the villagers when a worker came hurriedly and took away Ganeshrao. While going away, the worker whispered in their ears and told them that there was a likelihood of trouble brewing that day so Madhukarrao has asked everyone to remain alert.
Finally, the rumor proved real. Madhurani's car and the police vehicles blowing sirens in front and behind arrived. A wave of enthusiasm passed over the crowd that had assembled. People who had gathered stretched their legs, stood up on toes and began to see if they could spot a dot of a sari. After climbing the dais they would have certainly seen the dot of the sari. But no, some people were eager to spot the dot before others did. while climbing the dais. These people went near Madhurani and put huge garlands of fresh flowers around her neck. Who should be allowed to garland her and who shouldn't be, was the responsibility of Ganeshrao and a few workers who were with him. They had aptly carried out this responsibility. There was no confusion while garlanding Madhurani. Those who were to be allowed to garland were asked to line up in the front on either side of the way on which Madhurani was to walk. After accepting garlands from the people Madhurani was flinging them at the crowd. People pounced and struggled to get hold of a garland or at least a few flowers. Madhurani reached the dais along with four-five leaders. After reaching the centre of the stage she raised her hand and greeted the gathering. In return, people also raised their hands and greeted her. Among so many hands it was not possible for Madhurani to know which hand was whose. But people presumed that Madhurani had seen and waved her hand at them.

Second time around
We are adopting again. We've been in the process, going slow and taking our time for quite a while.
Almost a year ago I had lunch with Marla, our WACAP Adoption Coordinator, just to catch up and whatnot. As we were walking back to the office she mentioned off-hand that there were a couple of grants left, grants like the one we recieved for J's adoption. Without the grant she wouldn't be ours, this I can promise you. "You should think about applying," Marla said. "If they aren't assigned this year they will go away."
I laughed, but when I got home Andrew took one look at my face, used his spouse-vision to see into my brain where the wheels were turning and said "What are you planning now?"
It was impossible, it was too soon, we were in no position. So I tabled it. By September we were seriously considering stopping with one kiddo. J had started sleeping all night and it seemed silly to even contemplate giving all that up. But yet...
December rolled around and I checked in with Marla again. There was still a grant. There were a great many discussions around the A+A house, much back and forth was had. I'll blog all about it sometime, how we made this choice, but in the end we turned in our new adoption application at the final hour and were accepted back to WACAP at the very end of 2010.
But we didn't want to talk about it - Andrew was still in school, we were still in no position, and we were going to take absolutely as long as we could with our paperwork. Then, when everything was done some bombshells dropped. One of these is private, not bloggable at the moment. The other is public knowledge to any families in WACAP's AAI program - WACAP decided to shut the program down, only keeping families that were already accepted.
So, not only did we squeak by with the grant but we were also the last family accepted into this particular adoption program. It all felt like a lot, especially not-bloggable bombshell number one, so we've been keeping quiet.
But yesterday night when Andrew was in the shower and I was brushing my teeth, I felt like it was time to go public with our plans. He is graduated, employed, launched. I am starting to feel the space to truly wonder who is out there for us, to imagine my J as a big sister to a special small as-yet mysterious someone. It's been so different, this time. My mom says it is always different for the second one, both less exciting and more fun. She says this to me, her second one, so I wonder if when I tell my next son or daughter this story eventually I will also wear that same soft smile that she has when she gives me this advice.
"Baby, I think it's time." I said through the shower curtain.
"Okay," he replied. "For what, though?"
"To go public about M," I replied. Yes, I have a name in mind already, as silly as that is.
"Oh," my love sounded nonplussed. "I didn't realize we had a moratorium on that. Sure, go ahead."
So there it is - we're all in, once again. I wasn't doing all that great of a job with making this a blog about stuff other than adoption anyways. Because of not-bloggable bombshell number one we know that fall is the soonest a baby might come our way. As with any process like this it could be much later than that. But it's happening. I'm starting to believe that our little second one is out there.

Oh, congrats again to you. I love reading about how you puzzle through these huge decisions; the love and tenderness you as a family share is so apparent through your writing. You've answered some of my questions (Are you going through WACAP? Did you make it in to AAI before it closed?), but raised so many more. And the nature of adoption and parenting just seems to be ever more questions. Looking forward to hearing more about adoption #2 as it unfolds.ReplyDelete
(fellow WACAP-er Sarah B)
Exciting! Congratulations!ReplyDelete
Sarah - you can always msg me on facebook! I am curious what questions you have. :)ReplyDelete
Evergreen - I miss your blog. ♥

I'm so thrilled for you all. Watching your little girl grow into a big sister is such a wonderful experience and you will learn so much about J. I can't wait to read more as things unfold.ReplyDelete
So exciting! CONGRATULATIONS! You've made me very interested in notbloggable bombshell #1. But I'll mind my own business. :-)ReplyDelete
Looking forward to seeing your second little one when he or she makes an appearance.
I can't wait welcome baby #2 into the family! :-)ReplyDelete
That's wonderful news, I'm very excited for you all. I believe that your mysterious someone is out there too. Fantastic news, it feels like something big is around the corner!ReplyDelete
ps. I like the new warm colour of your blog background and I also like your non-adoption posts, I like coming over to read your blog because I often walk away from the screen with something to contemplate.ReplyDelete
YAY!!! :) So happy for you all as you move forward on this next part of the journey! (And there is NO shame in having the name. LB and I often refer to future babies by their names already, haha!)ReplyDelete
Thanks everybody!! It feels really good to have it out there and be able to blog about the process, etc.ReplyDelete
Debbie - I hope I will be able to blog about our not-bloggable thing someday!
Oh, yay! I am excited for you. And I am very interested in learning more about how you decided not to have an only child, and when to dive back in, as that is a topic much on my own mind lately...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 30, 2011 at 2:20 PM
so exciting!! :D <3ReplyDelete
FINALLY had a chance to read this (I was saving it). I am SO EXCITED to hear this (and I'm sure my mom, also known as J's stalker, will be too!). Although now I am overcome with curiosity about the "unbloggable thing." I'll be back in September and can't wait to see how J has grown (those laundry pics were THE cutest).ReplyDelete
wow! congrats on jumping in for #2! i've been so bad with reading blogs but popped in today to see what was up with you and i'm glad i did. looking forward to reading about your second experience and how it differs and is similar to the first one.ReplyDelete
and love the pics:)

BTL Liners is proudly location in Prineville, Oregon. Many of our employees commute in from other locations in Central Oregon and pass through a little town called Powell Butte on the way in. On the drive in we see many hay farms filled with bales, which has us thinking about how to choose the right hay tarp sizes. When considering the purchase of new hay tarps, there are many factors to consider as they can be used for a variety of purposes.
From the proper care and storage of hay to cost savings in fed hay, there are many different uses and applications for hay tarps. Hay tarp sizes should be moved to the top of the list of considerations. Hay tarp sizes contribute to other factors including cost, application and effectiveness. If you buy the wrong size hay tarp, be it too large or too small, you won't be receiving the intended benefit of the product.
Deciding on the Right Hay Tarp Sizes
When buying new hay tarps, how do you decide what size is needed? Simply eyeballing the size of the hay bales you have to cover and hoping for the best definitely isn't the right way to go about selecting the right hay tarp sizes. It's important to understand exactly how a hay tarp should fit on a bale of hay before purchasing new tarps.
Hay tarp sizes depend on the bale size and stacking method used. It's important to measure actual hay bales in order to know the exact specifications of the hay tarp you will need to cover them. Don't rely on what the baler instructions say as a roll can fluctuate in actual size when in use.
While most stock tarp widths vary, it's possible to get custom fitted hay tarps from BTL Liners. Standard hay tarp lengths are 48 or 52 feet, but with the custom fabrication capabilities at BTL, hay tarp sizes can be created to the exact specifications you need. When measuring for the length of your hay tarps allow at least four feet (two feet on each side) of overhang to protect each end of your stacks. Hay tarps should only reach about halfway to the bottom of the bale on the side of your stack, not all the way to the ground.
Measure the width of your stack and contact BTL Liners for assistance in choosing the proper hay tarp sizes for your specific needs. Remember to add four feet to the total length to account for the two feet of fold over on each end of the stack.

First I don't remember where exactly I saw the pattern at, it might have been on Pintrest. This pattern is by Vanessa Christenson of V and Co. You can buy the pattern in PDF format from her website HERE
This is what Vanessa's quilt looked like:
Hello Michelle,
Thank you for sharing your journey with this quilt with all of us. I love it! I follow you on Google and would love to win the half square triangles and charm squares. I would probably add them to the stash I have started for a future quilt. The quilt will be a king size quilt made of Hexies with no two colors alike. I have been saving fabrics for years, and will hope to have enough within the next few years.
Wow - what depth, color and movement your heart has. I love it! I always like to read how a quilt is created. Thanks for sharing. I'm now a follower, but don't include me in the giveaway - my stash is about to bury me -lol.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on your anniversary. These are lovely and I enjoyed your tale of making the heart quilt. The outside pictures do look much better, I wonder why? These would make a lovely patchwork tote bag. I have been wanting to make one for awhile, but keep getting sidetracked. I follow on gfc.ReplyDelete
Congratulations! I would use the pieces in a free motion sampler quilt. Following on Bloglovin. Very pretty heart quilt. 24Tangent "at" gmail "dot" comReplyDelete
Hello and congratulations! I found your blog today for the first time and was drawn in by that beautiful heart quilt, because the colors and half triangles make it look like it's built of jagged shards of stained glass -- it's just gorgeous! I signed up to follow via bloglovin. If I win I will use them in a star sampler quilt I'm making for my daughter with a dark background and bright colored stars. I am also a follower of Jesus Christ, and appreciate what you wrote in your introduction. email@example.com
I liked the original heart quilt, but I love yours. It is so bright and happy. We have a friend who is facing a bone marrow transplant in the next few weeks and that looks like the perfect quilt to make. I would use your fabrics as a starting point for that quilt. Thanks so much for sharing and for the fantastic giveaway. I am a follower. Just sent you an email stating this but when I came back my comment hadn't been published yet.ReplyDelete
That heart quilt is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! First time visitor and now a follower on Feedly! I also shared your giveaway on my blog's Facebook page.
I'd either turn all the remaining charms into HST to make a little HST wall hanging or cut charms of my Essex linen and then make a HST wall hanging.
Your heart quilt is great. I follow your blog with bloglovin. I have been wanting to make a mini quilt and might use them in that. Congrats on your anniversary.ReplyDelete

I have made a pixelated heart quilt in pink so when I saw the V and co quilt pattern, I didn't think I would make. But when I see your brightly multi colored one I want to win those squares, buy some more and the pattern and make it
Hi, Michelle, I just wanted to say I love your fabric selections! Maybe it's just me, but I really like this so much better than the original all pink one. All those bright colors really pop! I also like that the pattern appears kind of "random" in terms of which direction the triangles face. Congratulations!ReplyDelete
I really like your quilt!! There is no way I could have put together that many HST, with all the trimming and such. It would take me years to get through it. :) I follow on bloglovin.
I'm not entering the giveaway, I live overseas and plan on having a big solids charm giveaway in June, but I wanted to share the tutorial I used to make the comments have numbers so you don't have to count, but I also see you comment here too, do you get your comments in your e-mail? http://www.sewathomemummy.com/2013/01/tips-tricks-tuesdays-rachel-sew-happily.html
Beautiful quilt top!
Love the quilt and I really like it better with lots of color. In some of the outside pictures it looks like a stained glass window. I think I would use the HSTs and charm squares to make a table runner.
I follow via bloglovin.
I saw this quilt on V and Co and really liked it in pink; however, you've taken it up a notch with your multicolored version. Absolutely beautiful!!! If I would win some HSTs I would follow your lead and make this quilt. Thanks for the inspiration!ReplyDelete
No giveaway entry for me- just wanted to say I adorable the colorful version. Yours is beautiful!ReplyDelete
I follow you on Google. I just signed up for your newsletter too!!! I think your heart quilt is GORGEOUS!!!! I admire your patience and skill!
If I won, I would make a quilt for my grandson for his new "car" bed (he just got out of his crib and got a bed shaped like a racing car) I would put "car" blocks throughout the quilt, so it would be "especially his"
Congratulations on your one year anniversary!
Thanks for the opportunity and the great giveaway
Hi Michelle!
Your heart quilt is just gorgeous, I love it! The pictures in the sun almost make it look like stained glass... so pretty!

Is it ok if I share info about your giveaway on the podcast?
Happy one year anniversary!

I LOVE your quilt! I'm kind of afraid of HSTs, especially THAT MANY of them. I may need to conquer my fear. :-) I've promised two quilts for donation to hospitals and need to get some bright, cheerful colors... If I were to win your drawing I think I'd like to use the charms to make a wall hanging quilt, maybe using my twister tool I haven't tried out yet! (following you on bloglovin)ReplyDelete
No entry for me but I love your quilt and it's given me the idea of what I can do with a pile of HST I have squared up from another project...thankyou for sharing :)ReplyDelete

Following you on Google+... Found your blog through the linky at SewCanShe (yours was my favorite pic!)... Still new to the quilting blogsphere, but really enjoying the content that I find. What would I do with the HSTs and the charm squares? Attempt my own V&Co heart quilt, of course! I'm not a big fan of hearts on anything, though. Maybe I can change it up to a big pinwheel? I <3 pinwheels!ReplyDelete

About this item
Two generations of Quincy women - a bewitching Jazz Age beauty and a young lawyer - bound by a spectacular and mysterious Indian necklace.
Always the black sheep of the tight-knit Quincy clan, Nell is cautious when she's summoned to the elegantly shabby family manor after her great aunt Loulou's death. A cold reception from the family grows chillier when they learn Loulou has left Nell a fantastically valuable heirloom: a stunningly ornate necklace from India. More than just a piece of jewelry, the necklace links Nell to a long-buried family secret. As predatory relatives begin circling and art experts begin questioning the necklace's provenance, Nell turns to the only person she thinks she can trust - the attractive and ambitious estate lawyer who definitely is not part of the old money crowd.
Ambrose Quincy brought the necklace home from India in the 1920s as a dramatic gift for May, the woman he intended to marry. Upon his return he discovers May has married his brother Ethan, the "good" Quincy, devoted to their father. As a gesture of friendship, Ambrose gives May the necklace anyway - reigniting their passion and beginning a tense love triangle.
From a robber baron's Midwestern manor to a maharaja's palace, from a 1920s gymkhana to a modern-day speakeasy, from a family who feels like the enemy to a stranger who feels like kin, The Necklace is the intelligent, intoxicating story of long-simmering family resentments and a young woman who inherits a secret much more valuable than a legendary necklace.

What happened to the Weather Channel?
Over the decade, I would consider myself a weather-head.
Do you recall the commercials in the late 90's for the weather channel? It depicts 2 guys in a sports bar setting, one was rooting for the warm weather, the other for cool weather. As weekend outlook begins, they are cheering the forecast outcome, like a couple of face painted football fans on opposite teams. I loved that commercial.
Here it is on you tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqYDx5rQjdA
Something has changed in the Weather channel programming in the last 5 years., In my opinion, the overall functionality of the channel and its programming are not effective. Ever since some of the best weather anchors they had, left for on site assignments, it's gone downhill. Now its like listening to small metropolitan news anchors, and very little actual radar coverage. Of course, I'm tuning in to get the latest developments on Tropical Storm Alex, and just had to express my disappointment at actual weather coverage, of the ENTIRE United States and outlying areas.
Why? Well everyone need advertisers and sponsors, and I am aware of that and its what fuels our tv and internet today. Selling commercials on the Weather Channel, should be like catching raindrops in a bucket during a thunderstorm. The drowning of the channels content, has diminished the purpose of the weather channel , hasn't it? Half of the hour, goes to telling us about the channel, what it covers, who covers it and what even may happen soon. Less than 15 min of the hour, shows the actual radar or forecasted weather for the country. So my irritation, beyond the local on the 8's, has driven me to "timeline" half an hour for you. (granted that is Sunday and the format is lacking on the weekend anyway) Let us start at the Local on the 8's… with commentary.
2:38 – Local on the 8's some love jazz makes it watchable.
2:43 – Disaster in the Gulf… anchors open Ann Thompson's story, fly over of the oil gulf. Shows the spill, and barges in the area working on the spill and relief wells. Interviews with Oil Chief on the ship. Graphic of the Relief Well proposal. One of the outside reporters, who I really admire. Comprehensive and engaging, ending with the possibility of the storm hitting the area and destroying the mission.
2:47 – 15 secs of graphics reminding us that we are watching the channel, and what they will cover.
2:47 Back to Michigan Radar, a quick shot of storms in
2:49 – One shot of TS Alex, with a fade out to commercials. (of course they mention that they cover the Tropical Storm News and they have coverage of that. (cause we may not have known)
2:49-2:52 Proactive Commercial, Texas Workforce Commercial, Louisiana Tourist Commercial, weather channel beach party promo.
Actual time is 2:53- but Local on the 8s came back on….. ?
2:53 – Tropical Update. Adam covers it.. his head blocks the biggest part of the storm intensity. Winds 35mph now, he mentions it was intensifying yesterday. Same Radar image loops, short low pressure graphic. Models show the possibilities. His statement is "Last thing we need is that oil going in ever which-away direction" He is showing the timeline and says "We are worried about somebody somewhere"….
10 secs again for Kim to tell us that the weather channel is coming up…..
2:55 –
2:55 – Live webcam of
2:56 – FINALLY, another weather radar of Ohio Thunderstorm Line. No more than 20 secs of it.
2:58 – Oh another Promo of the
2:59 – Commercials for Sherwin Williams, M&M's, Subaru, and Off Clip On
2:59 - Another 15 secs, that weather channel is the authority on Weather
2:59 Local on the 8's again….. different modern music.
3:00 – You are watching the weather channel. – Graphic.. thanks for the reminder
3:00 – TS Alex, 5 secs of the Radar. Beach cam shown in
3:01 – Adam again showing the same radar he showed at 2:53. Now pointing and saying that it intensified yesterday. Same graphics , the issue is it will hit land. Yes it has to hit land, Alex. Heavy Rain and Potential track shown again. Intensity will of course change this track. FINALLY they show the rest of the Trop Atlantic. Nothing Forming there.
3:02 – New Information coming from Ntl Weath Svc at 5pm eastern. Kim tells us what is coming up, and that the Weather Channel has continous coverage of it.
3:03 – Michigan Weather, text shown only, some damage and reported Tornado.
3:04 – Kim shows that same Michigan Radar, Moves to Ohio Storm again. (hail Damaging Winds. She mentions the county names. Goes to Southeast, some storms moving southo f
3:05 – Thunderstorm Forecast Graphic
3:06 – Alex at the desk. He says stay tuned for the weather channel, and that we can count on them for the very latest… same TS Alex radar shown.
3:06 – Commercial Dr Scholls, Omnaris allergy med, Crazy Critters for your dog (these are a rip off, btw! Made in china and my dog tore it in the first 10 min)
3:08 – 30 secs of that the weather channel covers, and that they are the authority of Hurrican Season. It looped again at the end.
3:08 Local on the 8's.
How long can I go on? I didn't realize how much dictation that would be. But if you read it you get the point. There is only a few minutes, focusing on MI, OH and a very tiny part of the Southeast. Then the TS coverage, unchanged in the last hour, and Local on the 8's. its almost like the rest of the country doesn't have weather. Only one graphic shown of the entire US, with a thunderstorm forecast.
ARGH 3:10 – Back to Alex, showing the TS Storm Radar, and repeating things. He gives us too much of a geographical lesson. As if we are in 5th grade and don't know where
3:11 – Back to Gulf. Tarballs on Beach in
3:12 NBC's
I just get fed up watching the weather channel now. Unless Dr Steve Lyons, or Dr Forbes, or one of the other "actual metorologists" come on briefly to give us more comprehensive information. Otherwise, they could just have a robot there, pushing the button that says "replay that" and lets run a bunch of 15 sec promos about how we cover the weather. These promos actually make your realize, how little weather the show actually covers. They just dont actually show a lot of weather in the
Am I the only weather-head that misses the old weather channel? I don't even know whats going on in the West, Northwest, South, Southwest, The Plains. Its like that part of the
Thank goodness at the end of this story, Dr Forbes, does get 1 minute or so to tell us about US Weather and Storms. With actually good graphics. I have to change the channel now. Im on team Lyons, but Forbes really presents the weather issues well.

Burying the Tree
Emilio DeGrazia
The essay is an old and noble form, but we've almost lost it in the welter of op-ed rants and whining recitation of childhood wrongs. But Emilio DeGrazia restores the honor andpleasure of the genre. His essays do what Montaigne asked: Explore the way a mind works and what's in it. And DeGrazia does it with literate wit. A person who thinks -- and who has read books -- lives in these essays. Why not think, and let the mind play, when a rattlesnake sheds its skin a few feet from your chair?
Bill Holm
In this beautifully written and deeply felt collection of essays, DeGrazia does more than merely think about his subjects; he patiently enfolds them, studies each from multiple angles until he uncovers their essential truth. Whether his topic is religion, faces in a crowd, small town eccentrics, rattlesnakes, or a fig tree in his Minnesota back yard, each of his essays provides an irresistible journey of discovery for the thoughtful reader.
Richard Broderick
Burying the Tree tells stories as inherent in our nature as the aging lines in our faces. DeGrazia explores the great ideas you and I muse about as we drive long distances away from home, rounds them out wonderfully, and brings us back to our senses.
