    You've all been very helpful in getting me where I need to be! I am feeling more and more capable. I think I have a case of "want to do too much too fast" syndrome. My husband had a hole in his duty pants that keeps re opening even after he has it sewn shut, he insisted that I close it with...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    Yes I made sure I was really familiar with my machine before I attempted anything. For the first few weeks, I did just that. Reading my manual, looking/making at all the stitches on my scraps of fabric, stitch lengths, winding the bobbin, threading the needle, using the fly wheel without...

    Foam bendy rollers

    I have the pillow curlers from Conair that I picked up at Target. They are sooo small. My hair is getting quite long/thick and I would prefer a longer curler.

    Mineral Make-up as stage make-up.

    you are right, titanium dioxide is in many traditional formulas. it's the sunscreen. so the same thing can and will happen if you are using a foundation that contains SPF for photography. i imagine the concentration of the mica in a liquid would be less than that of a mineral foundation, but if...

    Mineral Make-up as stage make-up.

    Mineral makeup contains Titanium Dioxide. Which is meant to act as a physical sunscreen. However it absorbs light badly which is one reason it looks poor in photos. Another reason is the Mica(shimmer), which is meant to reflect the light and give you that 'glow' all the brands brag about but it...

    I found this at the Salvation Army. It is a sweet baby blue and much heavier than modern slips. I was actually surprised that the shirred cups and wide straps were able to support my girls enough on it's own, i may just wear it as a night gown.
