Don't try this at home, folks
36 comments:
That looks like something that might happen at my house! HAve fun with the seam ripper :0)ReplyDelete
fun to see you and the 4 year old and everyone else last monday!
But it was helping :o)ReplyDelete
Oh goodness!!! This is why I'm nervous every time my 3 yr old niece comes to visit lolReplyDelete
Thanks for the giggle! My kids did the same when they were little, and actually my cat has done this once as well.ReplyDelete
You'll always be happy you took that photo!
At least it wasn't the scissors!! ;0)ReplyDelete
Well, it could have been worse! -which is the mantra of a mom of little ones I think!ReplyDelete
reminded me of a long, long time ago...
when I sewed at the kitchen table, I got up to do something and left the machine on and a very little person crawled under the table and just had the best time playing with the foot pedal....I remember a scream (from me) and a long time getting the machine unjammed and working again.
Makes me remember Christmas vacation when my two year old grandson managed to get hold of applique scissors during naptime. He cut lots of slits in the front of his shirt, and he cut a hole in the side of his pack-n-play. I was so relieved he hadn't cut himself!ReplyDelete
He needs to create! How can you stop him?ReplyDelete
Scary. . . Lucky it wasn't a sewn finger. Ouch!ReplyDelete
Glad it was the sewing machine and not a scissors that was in use Amy!ReplyDelete
Totally giggling. Sorry!ReplyDelete
Looks like an improvisational quilter to me. No rules quilting!ReplyDelete
Ohh my, I get what your saying I have four kids.....never a dull moment. Most importantly glad the 4 yr old wasn't hurt in the process...thanks for the giggle though!ReplyDelete
Oh yes - my son and our dog, who once sat on the foot pedal, have both done that!ReplyDelete
Ahhh, memories......ReplyDelete
Amy - I understand, I have a 4 year old too, and he thinks it's funny to push the pedal when I'm not watching. Also, keep your scissors out of reach, I've had 2 incidents with Troy cutting up patches.ReplyDelete
Could be worse...he could have found the scissors!! :o)ReplyDelete
eeek! Better than Kerri's little guy who went to tow with the scissors. Not so easy to recover from that!ReplyDelete
Woopsy! Lucky that's an easy fix!ReplyDelete
Oh no! :o)ReplyDelete
lol! I cant help but laugh bc that's my life! ;)ReplyDelete
Taking an interest in sewing at an early age I see! hehe My son LOVES to "drive" too. JennReplyDelete
Is this the same kid involved in the Sharpie Situation? At least this one's reversible!!ReplyDelete
Like others, at least it wasn't the scissors. I was quilting a little wall hanging and someone cut a big slit in it. It has some very creative quilting in it now. :) Good luck with the seam ripper!ReplyDelete
Looks more like a sewing under the influence job to me. Heh!ReplyDelete
You guys make me laugh! Yes, this is the same Sharpie artist and a few days before I found him with the rotary cutter and a recently finished quilt block. Fortunately he wasn't at an angle where he could push hard enough and fortunately he didn't turn it on himself.ReplyDelete
This is the first of my kids to exhibit this kind of "creative energy". I think I'm going to have another Van Gogh one day.
I got a good chuckle from that one! Thanks, I needed it! LOLReplyDelete
Funny! With my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter around I have to unplug (and sometimes hide!) the power cord from my machine any time I'm not sitting at it!ReplyDelete
I have an almost 4 yr old too. Aren't they just fascinated by the sewing machine?? When he's in the room, I can't get anything done b/c he's got to sew his name.ReplyDelete
at least they didn't get hurt!ReplyDelete
They are showing an interest.ReplyDelete
Oops! Hey it could be worse... it could have been a rotary cutter!ReplyDelete
My 4 year old tried to "fix" my serger. She had a screwdriver in hand and loosened everything she could in what I swear was 2 minutes. I tried so hard not to yell or cry at her. But I had a good cry later when the professionals said there was nothing more they could do to make it work right after having it for 3 months. Children are embodiments of the chaos theory, albeit cute ones.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

NEW YORK STATE -- The wide band of snow is touching just about all parts of the state. In New York City, wet snow is still falling. People are busy shoveling slush off the sidewalks. Plow trucks are making sure they keep up with the roads there.
To our west, the City of Buffalo prepared early. Workers salted the streets before the snow started to fall. Thirty plows are busy keeping city roads clear.
There is lots of snow in the Rochester area, but it appears as though some are having fun with it. Plow trucks are making their way through the residential areas.

This set consists of five round cutters and instructions for use. The cutters are used in the same manner as a cookie cutter on rolled-out clay to make round pads of clay. These pads are then easily hand formed to resemble rose and other flower petals. Varied forms and effects can be achieved by overlapping several cuts of the same piece of clay. The cutters are made from rust-free materials, they have ejection plungers, and are designed to resist accidental deformation. Sizes range from 1/2 in. diameter to 1 1/2 in. diameter.

The House of Representatives held its first hearing on Hurricane Sandy, reviewing federal agencies' responses while also looking at New York City's need for housing in the wake of the storm. So will FEMA trailers be coming to the five boroughs? Our Washington, D.C. bureau reporter Erin Billups has the story.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- For almost three hours, members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee listened to statements and questioned agency heads about the federal response to Hurricane Sandy and sought advice on how to move forward.
"There were gaps in the recovery operations and there are many challenges that remain, particularly for a dense urban area like New York," said Representative Jerrold Nadler.
New York's many housing needs took center stage. FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate highlighted his agency's partnership with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, whose director is overseeing the federal response to Sandy recovery. He says it enables them to consider long term housing solutions through existing HUD programs, while simultaneously getting people temporary short term help.
Fugate said, "If we're not successful, we'll end up with what happened like in Katrina. People were in temporary housing not for months, but for years. We want to avoid that."
Fugate says his agency is avoiding using trailers for temporary housing in the New York metropolitan area. Instead, he wants to focus on short-term repairs to keep people in their homes until permanent reconstruction can begin. The agencies hope to put others in need into rental properties.
"If we could put money back into the local economy, we'd much rather rent than have to do the temporary housing," Fugate said.Meanwhile the White House is putting together a supplemental bill that would appropriate more money to FEMA and other agencies helping in recovery efforts. New York State alone estimates a need of $40 billion.
Even with only $4.8 billion left in its Disaster Relief Fund, Fugate assured lawmakers FEMA would not run out of money until early spring.
Fugate said, "FEMA will need supplemental funds. Not this calendar year, but this fiscal year, in order to continue the response to all other disasters, as well as the obligations that will be expended in this fiscal year for Sandy."
Lawmakers say the supplemental bill will likely be sent to Congress for consideration this week.

text: A lot of pali words are left untranslated. One of the pali words that I personally wish was left untranslated is Saddha. It is invariably translated as faith, occasionally as confidence neither of which truly cover the joyous aspect. Saddha is the start of the path and this in itself is joyous. I find that when reading a sutta if I replace the word faith with "joyous confidence or joyous understanding" the sutta has more life.

No one in San Francisco is arguing about whether real estate is expensive. There is, however, some debate about how to characterize the astronomical prices. Now that median home values have returned to pre-recession highs, some are compelled to ask: Are we in another housing bubble? Real estate experts Jed Kolko and Tim Cornwell spoke to this question at a recent SPUR forum....
San Francisco's Board of Supervisors has passed California's first urban agriculture incentive zone. The new law allows a tax break for SF property owners who dedicate their land to agricultural use for at least five years. The final legislation included a few important amendments.
In June, the Supreme Court declined to hear a case concerning whether California's Low-Carbon Fuel Standard program discriminated against fuels produced out of state, allowing the program to continue functioning unhindered. The decision received little media attention, but it is crucially important for California's climate action goals. SPUR explores the impact of this poorly understood policy on the state's climate goals and the fuel industry.
Despite more than $1 billion in capital investments on Highway 101 over the past 20 years, the connection between San Francisco and Silicon Valley still has some of the worst traffic delays in the Bay Area. Alleviating traffic on 101 will require viable alternatives to driving through both transportation and land use changes. SPUR proposes a three-pronged approach to managing growth in the corridor.
Our state and region are booming. After dropping from the world's fifth largest economy to its 10th, the state has risen back up to eighth place. But challenges remain. Housing costs are soaring, unemployment remains high and few middle-wage jobs exist. The Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy shares new economic data about the region and state.
San Francisco is once again poised to be a pioneer in urban agriculture policy. In June, Supervisor David Chiu introduced an ordinance that create California's first urban agriculture incentive zone and allow property owners who contract their land into urban agricultural use for at least five years to receive a property tax reduction
Why is it taking so long to retrofit our car-oriented cities to make them more walkable and bikeable? In part, it's because of an antiquated engineering concept called "auto level of service" or LOS. Here's how LOS came to control our built environment — and what the State of California is doing to release the hold this little-known metric has had on our cities.
SPUR is leading a transportation study at Ocean Beach to further develop the access and circulation recommendations of the Ocean Beach Master Plan. The transportation design team has proposed a new solution for Skyline Boulevard: a series of well designed modern roundabouts.
The Central Subway extension of the T-Third light rail to Chinatown doesn't include a plan for future service to North Beach or the neighborhoods beyond. A community-led movement is ensuring the proper evaluation of the light rail extension. Residential, commercial, transit and tourist hubs are heavily concentrated on the eastern side of the city, yet not enough fast and reliable transit connections exist between them.
California's high-speed rail project, which will connect Los Angeles to San Francisco in under three hours, is making progress on numerous fronts. There are updates surrounding the project's construction, routes, funding, lawsuits and new business plan.
Between 2013 and 2020, California will earn between $12 billion and $45 billion in cap-and-trade revenue. The state has already received hundreds of millions of dollars from auction revenues over the last 18 months, with that number poised to be in the billions annually within a few years. Now the state needs to decide: How will the money be spent?
After many months of planning, San Francisco's new urban agriculture program launched in January. The program, designed to coordinate and increase the city's support for city farmers and gardeners, recently released details about its first year priorities.
SPUR recently hosted a charrette to look at how we can make the region's array of transit operators function more like one clear, understandable system. Transit operators, regional planners, transporation experts and private transportation providers gathered to share what they've learned and where the opportunities lie.
As California grapples with one of its worst droughts in recorded history, many in the Bay Area are wondering what should be done to ensure that we have sufficient water. Luckily, water agencies in our region are already leading the way on innovative approaches to reduce demand by fostering water conservation and efficiency. Here's what's working.
Across California, communities have started food policy councils so that local advocates for food producers and consumers can work together to improve the food system. Earlier this year, a coalition of these groups published an analysis of legislators' voting records on 10 different food and agriculture bills.
After a 20-year public process, a project to convert a landslide-prone portion of Highway 1 into a multi-use coastal trail is finally complete. The new Devil's Slide Trail welcomes hikers, cyclists, horse riders and dog walkers. With its similarities to erosion-damaged sections of the Great Highway, Devil's Slide offers a model for implementing some of the recommendations in SPUR's Ocean Beach Master Plan.
SPUR's 34th annual Good Government Awards recognized the City of San Francisco's Legal Educational Advocacy Program Team for improving educational outcomes for youth in the juvenile justice system and curbing the cycle of young people who go back into the system.
SPUR's 34th annual Good Government Awards recognized Zoon Nguyen for rolling out the San Francisco assessor-recorder's electronic system, increasing regular assessments and helping the city issue 500 marriage licenses in one weekend after the federal court announced the resumption of same-sex marriages.
SPUR's 34th annual Good Government Awards recognized San Francisco's Fire Rim Emergency Response Team for its quick, collaborative and strategic response to the 2013 Rim Fire, the third largest wildfire in California history.
Earlier this month, San Francisco's leading economists met to predict the future. Each year, SPUR's Municipal Fiscal Advisory Committee brings together city staff and independent economic experts from sectors including real estate, hospitality and retail. This year's Annual Economic Briefing illuminated several key economic trends impacting the city this year.
Why not address the Bay Area's housing crisis — caused by a surge of new jobs without an equivalent increase in new housing — at its source? Alfred Twu's fantastical renderings imagine Silicon Valley corporate campuses like Google, Apple and Facebook as complete cities, their parking lots packed with enough housing to accommodate their entire workforces.
A few billion dollars of transportation projects are converging in San Francisco: the electrification of Caltrain, the extension of Caltrain's route to the Transbay Transit Center and the arrival of high-speed rail. How can we make sure these transportation investments improve San Francisco's urban environment rather than disrupt it? To find out, the city is launching a major study.
From President Obama's State of the Union speech to local policy initiatives, there's been a lot of attention lately on wage inequality and the shrinking middle class. As part of a major SPUR initiative, a group of Bay Area pilot projects will tackle these issues head on.
While San Francisco is a city that celebrates food, it's also home to many who struggle to get three complete meals a day. Between 100,000 and 225,000 residents have incomes that put them at risk of food insecurity. Two new reports show that even with collaboration among government agencies, nonprofits and the private sector, there are still many hurdles to overcome in addressing food insecurity.
2013 was one of the driest years on record, and 2014 is not off to a great start either. As we head into a third dry year, water conservation is more important than ever — and so is preparing for future uncertainty in our water supply by investing in reliable, sustainable supplies, as recommended in SPUR's report Future-Proof Water.

When the A's consummated the
Kouzmanoff (right) trade with the San Diego
Padres last week, most pundits nodded and offered the obvious analysis. Oakland
had, indeed, found a much needed middle-of-the-order hitter for their 2010
lineup. Afterall, the 6-1, 210-pound
slugger has averaged 20 home runs, 31 doubles and 82 RBI over the last three
seasons despite playing home games at San Diego's
pitcher-friendly Petco
But what may have gone unnoticed is GM Billy
Beane has acquired yet
another key defensive piece to the roster.
Kouzmanoff, admittedly an inconsistent fielder in his early days, has
blossomed into one of baseball's best defensive players at the hot corner. Last year, he set a National League record
for fielding percentage (.990) by a third baseman, committing only three errors all season long. Think about that for minute. Playing one of the toughest positions on the
diamond, he was charged with only three
errors! Remarkable.
Yet, the Kouzmanoff acquisition signals more
than the addition of a good, all-around player.
It represents another step in Beane's rather unheralded plan to build an
outstanding defensive team in 2010. Consider
this: the A's infield now features two
deserving Gold Glove candidates in Kouzmanoff and second baseman Mark Ellis–not to mention an on-the-mend Eric Chavez, who has already won six Gold Gloves–plus speedy
shortstop Cliff Pennington, who reeled off
an errorless streak of 35 consecutive games last year in earning the starting
job, and Daric Barton, who was a
revelation at first base last season with a .998 fielding mark. Meanwhile, the starting outfield, as its
constituted today, features two spectacular speed burners in Rajai Davis and Coco Crisp
in left and center (or vice versa), and Ryan Sweeney, the human highlight reel who tied for fourth in the
American League in outfield assists (11) last year, in right. Then add team leader Kurt Suzuki behind the plate–he led all 2009 AL catchers in
games played and game started, and ranked second in assists–and there's every
reason to believe Oakland will field one of the better defensive units in the
Perhaps that fact won't resonate
with everyone since defense is clearly the least
sexy aspect of baseball. But if that
underappreciated side of the game leads to the A's shaving half a run off our
pitching staff's ERA, don't be surprised if that change in run differential
results in more victories this season.
So as you watch the remaining NFL playoff games this month leading to
February's Super Bowl, maybe you should take that age-old football cheer to
heart, and adopt it at the Coliseum this summer…..Let's hear it: "Defense!
Defense! Defense"!
2 Comments
Thanks for the insight. It am getting pumped for the 2010 campaign!
I have heard the Coliseum is a tough defensive field in the daytime with the sun shining off of "Mt. Davis" and the typical "high sky" that settles around the Bay in the summer time.
What is your take on that? Is it more important to play a skilled defensive player over a more offensive minded player in a day game at Oakland because of the tough conditions? Would be curious to hear your thoughts on this.
Also, I have heard Kouzmanoff is a guy of high character from a friend who knows him. Clubhouse chemistry seems to have the potential to be great on this time.
Wildcard here we come!
Wow, I am amazed by Desme's decision!
I transitioned from working in the LA Dodgers PR department and on a career path in baseball to becoming a full-time Pastor in Orange County, so tell him to contact me if he needs any encouragement or has any questions!

Rosacea is a skin disorder. It causes chronic redness of the face. It can also cause swelling, tiny pimples, and the appearance of broken blood vessels. Rosacea usually affects the cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose. The ears, chest, and back may also be affected. More than half of people with rosacea also have mild eye symptoms. This may include redness, burning, and watering. This is known as ocular rosacea.
The cause of rosacea is unknown. Several theories exist.
Factors that can cause flushing or blushing may trigger flare-ups in people with rosacea.
These factors include:
- Very hot or spicy foods
- Caffeine
- Alcohol
- Sun exposure
- Extreme temperatures (very hot or very cold)
- Exercise
- Emotional stress or social embarrassment
- Rubbing, scrubbing, or massaging the face
- Irritating cosmetics and other toiletries
Risk Factors
Rosacea in more common in women, between 30 and 60 years old, and in people with fair skin.
Factors that increase your risk for rosacea include:
- Having family members who have rosacea
The symptoms of rosacea vary from person to person. They include:
- Frequent flushing on the face and neck
- Redness and swelling on the face
- Small pink bumps and/or pimples
- Thin red lines showing the small blood vessels of the face
- Redness, burning, dryness, and tearing of the eyes
- An enlarged, bulbous red nose (less common, affecting men more than women)
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your skin will also be examined. You may be referred to a doctor who specializes in skin disorders. This type of doctor is called a dermatologist. Do not try to diagnose or treat yourself. Certain over-the-counter medications could make your condition worse.
Rosacea generally can't be cured. It can be controlled. There are several ways to manage rosacea. Your doctor may recommend more than one, depending on your condition.
Prescription medications for rosacea include:
- Antibiotics applied to the skin
- Other topical treatments such as benzoyl peroxide, azelaic acid, sulfa, or tretinoin
- Antibiotics taken by mouth
In more severe cases, medications may sometimes include:
- Oral isotretinoin
- In very rare more severe cases, oral methotrexate, dapsone, primaquine, chloroquine, or prednisone
Topical cortisone is generally avoided on the face. It can make rosacea worse in the long run. It can be effective as very short-term treatment.
Treatment for redness or flushing may include:
- Clonidine in low doses
- Beta blockers (certain types)
The following procedures minimize redness, enlarged blood vessels, and an enlarged nose:
- Electrosurgery
- Laser surgery
- Dermabrasion
Preventing rosacea can be difficult. If you have rosacea, there are several steps you can take to control the condition:
- Avoid things that may trigger flushing or blushing. This includes certain foods, alcohol, and exposure to the sun.
- Protect your skin from the sun. Use clothing, hats, or sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher.
- Exercise in a cool environment to avoid overheating.
Avoid anything that irritates your skin:
- Apply topical medications, moisturizers, and cosmetics very gently
- Use cleansers, moisturizers, cosmetics, and other toiletries that are gentle and alcohol-free

Greetings from Northern Minnesota, I have actually been studying Buddhism, off and on, for a couple of years now.
I have had some health problems that I have had to deal with (seizures/migraines) that put it on hold for a while, and i have forgotten a lot that I have learned.
Now, that I have things sorted out again, I feel that things can proceed again.This seems to be the place to be, with knowledgeable and helpful people.

I'd love to see Hauritz in the side or the squad. It'd make the "Mitch can bat" excuse even less relevant, for one.

Am I allowed to say '**** CA' for scheduling just the two testS?
Be our guest. You'll find few friends of CA here.
Well then **** CA.
Ridiculous stuff epecially considering it's to be followed by another 2 test series Vs NZ... apparently.
Makes BCCI look almost lickable.
We go from this straight to a 2 Test series vs NZ and then straight to the 4-match BG trophy before the LO triangular series. Whoever scheduled/put together the FTP for this 12 month period deserves a cricket bat to the face. Think we have a series in WI straight after too. Deadset worst scheduling, I'll be amazed if we have anything like our first XI on the park by the end of it.
I don't really understand why you have to play 3 teams in one summer.
4 Tests against SA then 4 Tests against India would be perfect. Its aggrieving enough for England only getting three Tests against SA but 2 is frankly disgraceful.
Pumped for this series. Haven't watched SA play a test for ages. Hoping that Steyn and Morkel can tear apart the Aussies.
Btw can somebody please tell me why this series is only 2 tests. Scrap the dam champions league. I honestly think if they don't have time to do a long tour they should do only Tests or ODI's. Aka 4 tests or 2 T20I's and 7 ODI's.
RIP Philip Hughes - 1988-2014
Hauritz should definitely play if fit.
2 Test series should be ****ed off and never seen again..
Guys, I seem to be missing something...whats the difference between South Africa v Australia and South Africa A v Australians?
Oh and I tweeted Cricket SA asking if there are really only 2 tests and they actually replied. Saying that unfortunately its so. Looks like they feel genuinely sad about it or am I missing something else apart from the above issue?
Has Lyon really been bad enough to get the arse? The rugby world cup and work have meant I've not seen a lot of him in the third test, but he'd looked pretty decent up until then.
Whilst Hauritz has been treated disgraceful, I don't see there's any reason to shaft another tyro offie to rectify this. Of the two I'd say Lyon looks to have slightly the more about his bowling, based on the limited amount I've seen. His flight and dip in particular looked very encouraging. Seems to get more side spin than Doogie too.
Oh, and two tests is a calumny on cricket, etc...

- Afrika-Studien <Schriftenreihe> (1) (remove)
- From an Anthropology of Astonishment to a Critique of Anthropology´s Common Sense: An Exploration of the Notion of Local Vitality in Africa (2005)
- This paper "From an Anthropology of Astonishment to a Critique of Anthropology´s Common Sense: An Exploration of the Notion of Local Vitality in Africa. In: Bayreuth African Studies Online, No. 1 (March 2005)" is the introduction to the volume "Between Resistance and Expansion. Explorations of Local Vitality in Africa" edited by Peter Probst and Gerd Spittler (Berlin, Hamburg, Münster: LIT, 2004). The volume grew from an international symposium on "Local Vitality and the Globalization of the Local" convened by the Humanities Collaborative Research Center "Local Action in Africa in the Context of Global Influences" (SFB/FK 560) at Bayreuth University in May 2002. The paper and the attached table of contents may stimulate interest in casting a look at the entire volume. Be it the vitality of African art, African popular culture or African religious ideas – invoking the notion of vitality has become a common practice in Africanist discourses. Most often, the reason for this is to emphasize the unexpected and astonishing strength of certain cultural fields of Africa. But what is really meant with the notion of local vitality beyond its metaphorical and mainly rhetorical usage, beyond the seemingly unforeseen and unexpected? The authors locate the answer to this question in a hidden, though powerful paradox. Celebrating local vitality thus means to celebrate the falsification of one of anthropology's most cherished assumptions. When we ask about local vitality, we are asking about the vitality of weak units in the face of structurally different and more powerful ones. At the same time however, the invocation of vitality points to the problematic of such a perspective and the way how anthropology is constantly seeking to call this assumption into question. It is argued to acknowledge this paradox and move beyond established scenarios of subjugation and subjection by a critical investigation of the variations of local agency in the context of debates on identity and self-assertion, locality and appropriation, and rivalry and resistance.
