Love material glue. It's great when you're fixing a sweater that has started to ravel.

I second that Rolanda. Would like to see a picture of the costume.

MizT, I'll let you guys do the sewing. I'll root you on and cook so that you won't get weak.

BECKY, that is a good use of fabric glue, I had never thought of that. I need to get some fabric glue to my every day capori pants I had on this morning. Tiny pin hole just showed up, I have worn and worn these pants but they are so comfy!! Baby blue, knit, elastic waist, pockets, what more can a girl ask for??

sounds good Becky. now for that Peach Cheesecake receep !!!

BECKY we will give you the glue and glitter heheheh

forgot. Will do that right now. Be back in a bit.

speaking of sewing rooms. cuppa time over, am going back to mine..

see ya later

hehe.. glad you got the hint Becky

I must check out your peach cake recipe, I need a dessert for tomorrow.

SEW SMART, Rolanda, get those pants finished.

put less sugar in than stated in the receep MizT.

put in 1 - 1 1/4 cups, not 1 3/4 cups of Sugar.

Thanks, Rolanda, will remember that. Actually I shall probably use half Splenda and half sugar and a total of only 1 cup. We do not like things sweet here. Most recipes can use the half S and S formula just fine and still maintain texture

BECKY? did you get lost??

just checked out yur cake recipe, similar to one I had made, called a dump cake, fruit was 'dumped" on top of the batter, which rose to sourond the fruit. I had forgotten that recipe. Since I do not know where a copy of that one is, I shall try yours.

Nope, just got finished posting the cheesecake recipe.

OK, fingers will not go where I tell them, I cannot spell, time to call it a night. Hugs to all and sorry to leave you alone Becky. See you on the flip side.

MizT, I've made dump cakes before. This one is real moist, almost like zucchini bread.

Night MizT, sleep tight.

OK, thanks, I will give it a try, maybe tomorrow. I hope daughter does not have plans to go anywhere tomorrow!

Bye Rolanda, hope you get your pants done before your trip.

Sometimes I have senior moments. Was thinking about the recipe, but then saw Stella's post about the costume.

Have her help with the peaches. You could tell her it will taste better.

We're not talking Shakespeare's Tempest here are we?
This is the Little Mermaid. Glitter is the way to go. They make a white glitter now that is not just little metalic squares. It's finer and opalescent. It would look good on a light ground, like pink or aqua. The smaller you make the scales, the better they will look. As for the body of the thing, I imagine someone has made a pattern for a Halloween costume for that by now. It probably has leg openings in the back and a stuffed tail out front.

Hello, everyone!

No one present? OK. Good night.

Two days away, and I've missed everyone! Goodnight to all on the North American continent. Have a great afternoon/evening to those in Oz. I think Europe is also sleeping - middle of the night. Perhaps we'll see each other tomorrow.

time

That's what I get for writing a lot without copying it, it gets lost!

I keep having trouble here. When I try to refresh, I get kicked out. Then I can't get back in or I only get a white page!

Let's start again. Good morning all! Not as cold last night (50F) so I think it will be warmer this afternoon.

S#2 has a soccer scrimmage afterschool. It should be a nice day for that. He's so excited!

(I'm splitting the post this time!)
Thank you all for your suggestions regarding the Ariel costume. It definitely gives me something to think about.

The simpler, the better, as far as I'm concerned. But she does want to look nice in front of her college friends. Last year her friends all rented fancy costumes and she (having no money) just used a combination of her clothes to make an 80's outfit.

The material for the bottom is a shiney green silk-like material. Probably material one would use in the lining of a prom dress. I got lime green netting for the part at the top of the legs and for the fins. I have shiney purple silk-like material for the top shells. She wants to look the same as the Ariel from the Disney movie. She has an Ariel message board on her door and everyone thinks of her as Ariel.

The biggest problem is finding the time to do it. I'm going to D#2's soccer game tomorrow in Boston and then bringing her home for the weekend.(Which means returning her on Sunday.) I also have to get the house cleaned and organized. It turned into a war zone when all the kids were getting their various things ready for school. I spent hours in Brendan's room yesterday and it is still not done.

Morning Stella. Every once in awhile I have the same problem of being logged off. I sent Gath an e-mail letting him know. No one else has. If you send him one, he might be able to find the bug, if there is one.

I'll just keep going since I have to leave in a minute.

Last night I went to bed early because I haven't been sleeping well. Around 10:45pm I hear a beep from my phone. Brendan texted me asking me to check my email. He emailed a paper he wrote and he wanted me to check the grammar. In high school he wouldn't let me check his papers even though he is not a great writer. Now he asks! Apparently, he gets 5 points off for every misplaced comma, run-on sentence, quotation marks or any grammatical error. So I ended up staying up until 12:30 and I was really too tired to think. Oh well, he shouldn't have waited until the last minute. The paper is due first thing this morning!

Morning Becky! I didn't see you there! I don't get logged off. I just can't get back in. It's only been for the past few days. It mostly occurs when I refresh. This morning I also lost a long post. Very frustrating.

Well, it is time to get some breakfast and then some stuff done. I'll check back at the changeover. Have a great day/night!

The last time it happened to me was either on Monday or Tuesday. Since I'm the only one to tell Gath, he thinks it's unique to me.

Do you think that S#1 would use a grammar book? Years ago I bought a paperback one for hubby when he had to write a lot of e-mails at work. He would have me proof read them.

Stella I do not refresh but go back and open the previous page and then back to the current page. Hope that makes sense.

We have a good grammar book here and I told him to bring it, but he said he didn't need it! Boys!!
