Can We Show Off Our Crafts?

[no bounce no play]

Thanks! They aren't even Baby E's momma's diapers! They sure have come a long way since then. It was a bit pricey but worth every penny to buy the pro version of the KAM snap pliers. I can (and have) used the snaps for other things as well so figured it would be a good long-term investment. I haven't used them yet but I also bought the special snaps and die to install them that enables you to snap together multiple layers, e.g. if you're making a cloth book with several pages like this:

I am so glad I can't think of a use I might have for KAM snap pliers lol. My crafts closet has already expanded into the hallway

So probably best not to tempt you with the 101 uses for KAM snaps link, then? Don't feel bad, I have 2 rooms, one of which I can barely walk in (again) and needs organizing but I've run out of room to store things. Have I mentioned I need to build myself a craft studio?

UGGGGGGG!!! Meanie! Do you know how difficult it is to keep from clicking on that link?

You're going to need an airplane hanger pretty soon

I know, I'm hopeless! My craft supplies habit is the perfect example of using something up to the limit (and beyond) of whatever you have, though, so even an airplane hangar might get filled up. That room that's now a mess had been completely reorganized about this time last year until I discovered silk painting, alcohol inks, and hand lettering. Also didn't help that my cousin decided to close down her shop so all the things that she'd had to sell for me are now back in boxes in that room.

At about what age did they use this many signs?

Depends on the kid and how receptive they are. The oldest one learned early and used many signs. Before a year. The youngest one learned fewer signs but I think he learned what he felt he needed.

How old were they when you started teaching them?

Very young. I forget, but I'll ask her.

I used sign language the other day while driving.......

 

[Dana Jean]

Okay, she said right away. I just texted her and she said a friend of hers started from birth and her baby was signing 4 to 5 simple signs by 6 months.

She started a little later but her boys were signing by 8 months.

Thanks for the info.

My old sewing machine had an area to store all the parts. (Spare feet and stuff) My new one does not. But then, there are a lot of spare pieces with it. After looking around a bit, I bought a container for DMC thread and did this with it.



For the top, I photocopied the page that listed all the parts. I could put the bobbins in as well, but I bought a small plastic container for them already.

I looked at our little town's library website to see if they loaned kindle books and discovered they have a die-cutter for public use It's common for libraries to have copy machines but who woulda thunk they'd have a die-cutter!


Think... Thank... Thunk... yeah, that sounds right

Great idea! I may steal this for the accessories for my serger as it only came with a vinyl bag that held some, but not all, of the spare parts plus the ones I've bought since then.

I'm glassed out,tshirted out and "papered" out! David framed these so I can put them in my shop.I won't/wouldn't have a problem keeping them (and adding to the display that used to be our living room.).David.....not so much ...he's really fighting an uphill battle here because patterns are made for reusing!
