I'm happy to report that my turkey was not a disaster, and the first Thanksgiving at my new house was fantastic, fun, and filled with conversation, friendship, and joy.Loved it.I'm completely exhausted today. I ventured out mid-afternoon to take my dog to an off-leash park and then tried to rally to spend some more time with friends this evening who had come up from Oregon. Didn't work out so well. We're having breakfast together tomorrow morning. I find that to be a rightful compromise.I'm impressed with myself that I said I needed to relax instead of pulling my usual bullshit martyr crap and heading downtown, trudging through the evening, and being tired and pissed. It's not fun that way.I will most likely go to bed by 7. I'm not even joking. This whole Thanksgiving meal and prep really wore me out! Absolutely worth it, though. Wouldn't take it back for anything. Hard to replicate days like that.Truly. Even my friend the giraffe wants more of Deb's glazed sweet potatoes....

It's the last day of the month again! I am looking forward to a new month cos that means we are closer to our vacation! But before I can put aside all my work and get out there to enjoy, there are so much waiting to get done. I was supposed to get a brochure done for my Singapore office when I stumbled upon this cool stuff on the web. It is called 'Groovle' and it is all about having a groovy Google homepage!What Groovle does is that it allows you to create your own Google search page. You can either choose from the home pages on the site including photos of celebrities, nature, animals, sports teams and others or you can upload your own image and create your customized home page. Since this is powered by Google, you can expect more features to be added in the near future but for now, you can have fun and get groovy with your customized Google home page! I played around with it for a while and loved the idea that you can place the search box anywhere you want on the page. After uplo
Are you bored from your plain Google search homepage? If so, you might want to look into Groovle, a brand new custom search service based on Google, which allows you to easily upgrade your standard Google.com page look and feel and still maintain its entire functionality.
Groovle allows you to build two types of custom and extra cool Google.com custom search pages, which you can later easily keep as your browser homepage:
A custom made homepage, displaying celebrities, sports and nature related images.
A self made homepage, which you can easily create by uploading an image file to Groovle’s image hosting servers and having it displayed as your homepage’s background.
My take on Groovle
I gave Groovle a quick test and was surprised from its ease of use. I had a custom web page featuring Angelina Jolie running in seconds, apparently, i wasn’t satisfied, and decided to change it to the lovely Cameron Diaz.

Beautiful Katamari has been announced for an Xbox 360 release date of October 17th 2007 in America, at a price of $40. The third-person puzzle-action game has been cancelled for the PS3 and while it’s also coming to Wii later on, right now it’s only on Xbox 360.
The Prince can ask the help of his 50 cousins to get the ball rolling through his quest. The cousins have discovered new games to play since last time out, and love to compete with friends in multiplayer Katamari rolling games either together or online against players all across the globe! To keep his son inspired, the King of All Cosmos will provide another fresh and memorable Katamari soundtrack to keep players moving and grooving.
Come party with the prince and his family!
Don’t quote me on this, but I believe the Official Xbox Magazine in America will come with a Beautiful Katamari demo on August 22nd. So fans might want to check it out.

El próximo video viral, quizás? Quien sabe, ya estamos todos cansados de la maldita marmota dramática (o el animal que sea), así que si buscan otro video cool para compartir y distribuir entre amigos, conocidos o quien sea, entonces, hey! por qué no este? La verdad, es que está genial.
Utilizando la misma canción de Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger - que el video publicado anteriormente (Daft Hands), realmente es un placer ver bailar a esta chica, no porque, hmm, vaya a haber un “nip slip” o algún escándalo (hey, de eso se encarga manuelanorga.com), sino por lo bien que lo hace. Y sí, seguro a más de uno le traerá recuerdos de Jamiroquai.

As reported in Groovy Green (one of my fave blogs) a man with a van in Charlotte, North Carolina was fined $2,000 for using a veggie-oil powered van. He has been fined $1,000 from his home state, plus a $2,500 bond if he wants to continue using this alternative earth-friendly fuel source, and the government will also be slapping him with a fine for another $1,000 for not paying “motor fuel taxes”.
He was caught because he displayed a bumper sticker that read, “Powered by 100% Vegetable Oil“, wow this is sad and amazing, that he or anyone else would be penalized for trying to lessen their carbon footprint.
Should this guy have been penalized like this? What do you think.

Groovy Daisy dress in the bigger size is finished! I would love to post a picture of it, actually the picture of both dresses on my two little models but the weather in Vancouver, and especially during the weekends, is not cooperating. Last weekend we had 12C with rain; not the kind of weather to sport a sleeveless dress.
Making the two dresses enabled me to “perfect” my gathering techniques so I decided to blog about gathering in one of my subsequent posts.
Blog you later,
Anna
I’m off to sew the groovy daisy summer dress in a bigger size. After all I promised it to my 7 years old and I better keep my promises, right? The bodice for this dress is longer and reaches the waistline as opposed to the one I’ve done before when I’ve made the empire waist. I inserted a band of solid pink in between the bodice and the upper ruffle. In my mind, the pink stripe will give a “belt” impression. We shall see…
I’ve also tried to do a better job when turning the bodice around, through the shoulder openings, by making sure I neatly trim all the seam allowances and clip all the corners.
Before slipstiching the inner bodice shoulder seams, I ironed out the seam allowances.
As for gathering the ruffles, I again tried to do a better job then last time. This time around I used machine basting by stitching two parallel rows, one in the seam allowance and the other one 1/4 in (6mm) above. I left an extra long thread on both sides of th
Yes, she really does sleep in that contorted position.
I have been finding Hatley clothes, like what F is wearing, on the clearance racks at Marshalls in case anyone is interested.
For hemming the dress, I’m using a pink contrasting fabric. I’ve sewn the side seams and ironed them out. I then folded the fabric in half lenghthwise and stitched it to the bottom of the ruffle.
We found some groovy buttons for this dress; they are little daisies in pink, purple and pale yellow. Very cute.
I marked the buttonholes on the back and used the buttonhole sensor foot to sew them.
Usually I try one or two buttonholes on a scrap fabric piece to test the lenght and to reherse (and I do that every time) that the machine will sew backwards. Obsession? Maybe…
After sewing the buttons the dress was finished. Voila! My little model was so happy and when she found the finished dress on the hanger she immediately put it on even though it was only 14C (57F) and overcast outside. Well, she was wearing it only in the house. On a sunny day we’ll take a picture of the finished dress.
Hooray, I’m half way through this project. My little model is checking the progress daily and she can hardly wait for me to finish it. I think we will need some more sunshine and warmth for her to wear it in April but she seems determined :grin:
The bodice is done so I’m off to sew the frilly skirt. I love all the frills you see on ready-to-wear garments this Spring.
Just before I started working on the ruffle I realized that I need to iron the bodice hem to the inside so that its easier to connect it to the ruffle. This is a little shortcut instead of sewing the right side of the bodice and the ruffle together and then turning to slipstitch the lining of the bodice to the ruffle.
I layed the upper ruffle front and two back pieces facing right sides together and pinned the side seams. After sewing the side seams I pressed them opened.
Now it was timeto gather the ruffle. I believe the proper way to do that would be using two basting seams but instead of that
Everything is cut now and finally I got to sew this project. The fabric is absolutelly gorgeous, it feels great and it’s easy to sew. Since I currently don’t own a serger, and yes it is one of the things on my wish list, I use zigzagged finish on my fabric pieces. This is to prevent frays and nonetheless, zigzag is one of my favorite stitches.
I transfered a line from the pattern to the fabric to mark the 3cm fold on the upper back ruffle for the button closure. Well, I guess I could have just measured it and ironed it… but insteadI used tailor’s tacks to transfer the line to the two layers of fabric. I guess its the perfectionist in me…
At this point, I started working on the bodice, by first sewing the two side seams on the inside and outside part of the bodice and later by pressing it. My little model tried on the bodice and it turned out the bodice didn’t need any adjustments! I like that; good fit.
Here, I pinned and then sewn t
So, my “components” are at home. I machine washed all the fabric for the dressess using warm water and the normal cycle. I didn’t use detergent or fabric softener. I dried the fabric on the regular cycle and removed it promptly, to prevent wrinkling and ironed it to make cutting easier. I do admint, washing/drying/ironing is an extra step and it takes away time from sewing, but if the fabric wants to shrink it’s going to do it now.
I drafted the pattern myself and hopfully I’ll have it ready for download soon. These are the pieces I’ve cut for the smaller dress:
bodice front on a fold 1x in Groovy Daisy fabric
bodice front on a fold 1x in solid purple
bodice back 2x in Groovy Daisy fabric
bodice back 2x in solid purple
front upper ruffle 1x in Groovy Daisy (rectangle 0.60m wide and 0.16cm…
high)
back upper ruffle 2x in Groovy Daisy (rectangle 0.34 wide and 0.16cm high)
bottom ruffle 2x in Groovy Daisy (rectangle 1.05 wide and
Well, I thought I’m working on reducing my sewing stash… but instead I went shopping and got some new fabric! A new blog deserves new fabric, right? I went to my favorite sewing store and fell in love with a Groovy Daisy cotton. This is going to be perfect for a girl’s summer dress.
I purchased the Groovy Daisy cotton and a solid cotton in pink and in purple. I’m going to make a summer dress for a 4 years old and a 7 years old girl.
The dresses will have a lined bodice (Groovy Daisy outside and solid purple inside), two gathered ruffles, a back button closure and a hem in solid pink. I’ve… also found a nice rick-rack, in a pale pink-blue-purple colour, that I’m planning to sew on the bottom edge of the bodice and the bottom edge of the upper ruffle.

Children's "Groovy Grabber" bracelets were recalled April 3, 2007. Four million units sold in vending machines from November 2005 through March 2007 for 25 cents contain harmful amounts of lead.Consumers are urged to throw away these bracelets immediately. You can view more on this specific recall at the Consumer Products Safety Commission at the link above.Lately there have been many recalls of children's jewelry due to lead poisoning. Most of these were manufactured in China and were distributed through dollar stores or vending machines. I encourage you to Google for recalls and be wary of purchasing cheap jewelry containing metal, especially if manufactured outside the United States. (The metal in these bracelets wasn't obvious, however.) Other countries do not prohibit use of lead in jewelry like the United States does.What really bothers me? That's $1,000,000 in the trash that somebody somewhere got paid for.Technorati Tags: jewelry ^ kid jewelry ^ recalls ^ bracelets

It's also good for those who are not Jews or Christians."By the seventh day G-d had finished his work. On the seventh day he rested from all his work. G-d blessed the seventh day. He made it a Holy Day. Because on that day he rested from his work, all the creating G-d had done." (Bereshit 2:2-4)More liturgy related material is coming your way. Watch this space...
In a book about 'growing up ambitious and engaging in some spectacularly imbecilic behavior,' Susan Jane Gilman’s Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress, a follow-up to Kiss My Tiara, takes you from the very start of a wacky life to adulthood. I’ve got my fingers crossed for another book because it has been a long time since I laughed so hard while reading.As Gilman further attests in the 'Author’s Soapbox' of a preface, this collection of names-have-been-changed true stories -- 'or at least, I’ve recounted them as honestly as I can remember them' — serves more than a single purpose:I’ve written this book, in part, because it seems that all of us could use a good laugh these days. Yet I’ve also written it because so many stories women are currently telling are all about getting a man. Or getting over a man. Or about getting laid. Or about not getting laid. Or about not getting laid and not getting a man, but deciding we’re ok with it. While a few stories do involve a b
