Support Stem Cell Research
In an instant lives are changed forever, with Stem Cell Research we can turn back time. It's too late for us, but there are millions of others that need this. Do your own research, make up your own mind, don't depend on what others say, and imagine your life in a wheelchair full of pain with no hope of ever dancing again.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Still Home and that's a good thing

First, thank you all for your kind words and support. I was surprised by both the response and at how much it helped. Thank you. This is the second hardest thing we've ever had to do and I don't know what we'll end up doing with all this. It's a real game changer for all of us. I guess it's a good thing we hadn't bought a house yet, this clarifies some of our requirements.
We had a boring and uneventful day. And that was good thing. I got the nerve up to take him out and get his hair cut, run by the grocery store and he waited in the car while I ran into PetCo for poop bags and a new collar (pink). Too much info? Or just bizarre info?

In some sewing news, finally, I really liked the 3 pieces of silk I got from FabricMart.com. 2 are browns/golds - my fall colors. And the other is black and burgundy. Maybe I'll get around to some photo's soon. I could have done this today, but didn't. I may make some blouses with these, they are a nice weight - not too flimsy.

And my shirt I was working on, the fabric from Fabric.com, is a real wadder. The neckline just turned out horrible. Awful, terrible, would need work to become a Hot, home sewn mess. I'm disappointed - I like the fabric. I just need some work on knit necklines. I put a line of clear elastic in it and then folded over to finish. And it got squiggly and wonky and puckery and ugerly. I need to find a tutorial on this. I just struggle with this and tired of making wadders.

I'm making another BWOF shirt, I think. Or some more pants. A skirt, even. WOV-VEN WOV-VEN!

    Hi there
    I wasn't quite sure what your exact problem was with the KNIT neckline, but the above links discuss a range of approaches. I did a knit sewing class years ago and a lot fell into place after that, but before, I was terrified of these fabrics- that might be a thing your could search out for yourself. Keep you chin up!

    I really hope you get things worked out with your son. I just can't imagine how awful this is for you and your family. I too have trouble with knit necklines and I'm glad to see someone gave you some links. I'm going to take a look at them too. Hang in there.

    I will continue to keep you and your son in my prayers. I'm hoping you have more "boring" days! After what you've been through you need some down time. One of my formert students had something like this happen to him after he was a young adult.

    BeeBee,

    I'm a little behind, so I was unaware of the problems your son is having. My heart is with your entire family and this must be truly hard for all of you. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. BTW, in my opinion, you don't need to celebrate any holiday; that celebration is your choice!!!
