The Plaid Post

Anyone out there?

Tuesday, 14 October 2008 13:20 by sara

Here's the thing: I'm not going to insult your intelligence with ridiculous apologies and excuses about how busy things are with a half-day kindergartner that I shuttle twenty minutes (one way!) to and from school.  Or explanations about how I just don't seem to have any time in my afternoons for blogging. Or lame whatevers about not feeling all that crafty right now.  None of that.

But I'm back, hopefully for good, so I hope there's still someone out there!

Because if you're out there, you're going to want to go buy this:

Isn't this great? It's the perfect tablecloth that I'm always scouring for at thrift stores and garage sales. Nevermind that it matches nothing in my house. You can find it at Pony Party.

Also from Pony Party, and I would buy them right now, if I didn't think Mr. Plaid would object.  But, accomodating as he is, I don't think Mr. Plaid would welcome these birds into our home the way I would.

And I'm thinking of switching out our melamine plates. These are enamel coated tin (or something).  Melamine freaks me out, just a little, given that it contains formaldehyde. Which freaks me out a lot.  The chances of any of that getting into our bodies? Not sure. Because it's not like we're grinding up the plates and putting the melamine into our milk.

Sara! Glad to see you are ok over there. This is a crazy busy time of the year isn't it?

That is one cute tablecloth, I swear the local tablecloth has been dry for months now.

Still here! I was just thinking the other day that I should check to make sure I was still subscribed. Glad to hear you're still around.

You're back!! I'm glad! I can vouch that the entry of eldest child to kindergarten can throw lives out of their normal orbit...we're struggling to get back on track here too! Who knew I was supposed to have introduced both upper and lower case letters to her? I thought I had been doing well just working on the alphabet!

OH - I have been scouring thrift stores for a vintage table cloth this past month- want to do the souvenir skirt from Sew What skirts... but have not found the perfect one yet. Like this one a lot!

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It is the old what goes around comes around routine. Did you acquired lots of links and I see lots of trackbacks??

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.

Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article... but what can I say... I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
