NO MORE PIANO PLAYER


I just bought a cheap piano, and unfortunately it had a player piano in it.  The piano tuner would not touch it with a ten foot pole.  Do you blame him?  Look at all those parts in front of the piano strings.  I asked if he would tune it if the player part was removed.  YES. Sooo......


It took me a few hours....


Look at all those parts.


Here we are ready for the tuner.  Now he can get to the strings!

Sewing Serendipity

Here is my sewing serendipitous moment.  My shirt was missing three buttons in a row. The top and bottom were still on the shirt. I had only one button that matched.  Instead of replacing all five, I selected the white and brown ones from my stash, and sewed on the three buttons. VIOLA!! The shirt looks better than before.

EYE LOVE LASHES
 Ok so fake lashes never stay on my eyes with the glue that comes on them.  There is no way those lashes would stay on my daughters eyes either.  So use REAL GLUE to make them last so your kid will be a perfect "WHO" from "WHOVILLLE."



I use this glue.  Clear of course. You can buy it at any Taylor Maid store.  Here is the final WHO product.  Ornaments tied to her shoes, silly socks, and shirt under a red dress.  I put elastic in the existing hem to make it puffy gathered.  Fun 'Who" hair and here you are. She was the talk of the class due to the lashes.
